Injection molded articles and methods of making injection molded articles. The methods include the use of a first plasticizing unit and a second plasticizing unit on a common frame feeding a first mold and a second mold on the common frame. Separating the production of each part of a two-part article into separate plasticizers and molds allows for the tuning of production parameters on a per-part basis, improving part flatness and part-to-part weight variance.

The invention relates to an anchor for arrangement in lightweight building boards, wherein a lightweight building board has a first covering layer and a second covering layer made from compact material that is stiff in compression, and a core layer, which is arranged between the covering layers and is made from material with a low density in comparison with the covering layers, in particular paper honeycomb, foam or solid wood of low density, having a first anchor part and a second anchor part, wherein the first and the second anchor part are designed to be movable relative to one another, in which a travel between a first end position and a second end position is limited, wherein the first end position is defined by means of first stop means on the first and the second anchor part, and the second end position is defined by means of second stop means on the first and the second anchor part.

A connector for connecting a tube to a connection element. The connector includes a housing, which has a coupling portion. The coupling portion is adapted to be at least substantially fluid-tightly connectable to a complementary connection portion of the connection element. The connector includes a tube connection piece, which is adapted to be connectable on the one hand to a tube and on the other hand to the housing in order to make a fluid connection between the tube and the coupling portion of the housing. The housing includes at least one polyolefin.

The present application provides an ultrasound probe comprising a housing that includes a coupling interface having a sinusoidal geometry. The housing is formed by a first body (300) and a second body having opposite and corresponding sinusoidal geometries. The first body includes a first proximal portion (105) and a first distal portion (107). The first proximal portion comprises a first sinusoidal shape (326). The second body includes a second proximal portion and a second distal portion. The second proximal portion comprises an opposite second sinusoidal shape. The first body and the second body are coupled to form a handle having a sinusoidal interface. Further, the first distal portion and the second distal portion form a head portion at which the ultrasound transducer assembly is disposed.

A lock fastener that can be easily manufactured to have great fastening ability includes a touch fastener and a base member insert-molded to the touch fastener. The base member is formed with a space adapted to be filled with a resin material at a time of insert-molding, and the space includes an opening formed in a surface of the base member. The opening is surrounded by a peripheral wall part of the surface. The peripheral wall part is adapted to abut a base of the touch fastener at the time of insert molding and to serve as a bank for preventing the resin material filled into the space from leaking.

A technique for handling an integrated circuit/tape assembly having a plurality of integrated circuits supported by underlying dicing tape involves placing the integrated circuit/tape assembly on a bottom file frame carrier (FFC) frame having structure (e.g., an inner rim or flexible pegs), placing a top FFC frame having a central opening over the integrated circuit/tape assembly, and mating the top and bottom FFC frames such that the dicing tape is pulled over the structure thereby laterally stretching the dicing tape, which breaks wafer saw bows holding the integrated circuits together. The lateral stretching of the dicing tape increases distance between adjacent integrated circuits in at least two mutually orthogonal lateral directions, thereby inhibiting the adjacent integrated circuits from colliding during shipment or storage for subsequent processing. The resulting assembly can be thinner than conventional FFC configurations, which results in more efficient shipment and storage.

A deflection member that includes a reinforcing member that includes a resin coating, and at least one tile fastened to the resin coating.

A quick release leash which includes a flexible leash line that terminates in a male member of a quick release coupling. The quick release coupling has a female receiver which receives the male member in mating relation. A locking pin passage that intersects the female receiver. The male member of the quick release coupling has an aperture. A locking pin is axially movable in the locking pin passage and is biased by a biasing member into engagement with the aperture of the male member. When a force is exerted upon a manual release sufficient to overcome the biasing force of biasing member, the first end of the locking pin is withdrawn from the aperture of the male member and the male member is released. This quick release leash was developed as a safety device for water sports to quickly release a person from their board, but has wider application.
