Method for the manufacture of a three-dimensional molding

The invention relates to a method for the manufacture of a three-dimensional molding (29), wherein the molding (29) is generated from a solidifiable powder material by consecutively solidifying individual layers through the effect of radiation (27), while generating a new layer by exposing traces that are arranged adjacent to each other to radiation, wherein, in order to form an overhang region (47), a contour trace (49) is formed on a coherently solidified region and on a powder material (17) that has not solidified yet, the contour trace (49) is adjusted to an outer contour at least in the region of transition from the solidified region to the powder material (17) that has not solidified yet, and the at least one further contour trace (49′) adjusted to the outer contour is formed of non-solidified material (17) while comprising a high overlapping degree in relation to the previously formed contour trace (49).

Golf club head with removable component

ActiveUS20140187346A1Highly effective for playing golfDurableGolf clubsRacket sportsWeight adjustmentEngineering
The invention provides a golf club head with a fully removable component that can withstand the stress of repeated hits. When assembled, the removable component is held in place by a fastening mechanism that includes structural elements that distribute the holding force across the component and tend to equalize the forces around the periphery where the component meets the body. The fastening mechanism may include a post that reaches across the open space within the hollow club head, pulling the removable component towards an opposed main club head body. Since a golf club of the present invention can be opened, it may include a mechanism on the inside for use by a golfer, such as an electronic device or an adjustment mechanism. The golf club may include a weight adjustment system that allows the club to be custom-fitted to a golfer.

Electro-hydraulic forming tool having two liquid volumes separated by a membrane

An electro-hydraulic forming tool is disclosed in which a membrane is retained between two volumes of liquid that are separated by a membrane. Electrodes are provided with a high voltage impulse to create a shockwave in one of the volumes of fluid that is transferred through the membrane to the other volume of fluid. The shockwave is transmitted to a blank that is formed into a one-sided die. The blank is formed against the forming surface of the die. Air evacuation means are provided to remove air from the upper surface of one or both volumes of liquid.

Wafer probe interface arrangement with nonresilient probe elements and support structure

A nonresilient rigid test probe arrangement which is designed for testing the integrity of silicon semiconductor device wafers or chips, and which eliminates pliant conditions encountered by current text fixtures, which are adverse to the attainment of satisfactory test results with rigid probes. The test system interface assembly includes a rigid ceramic substrate which forms a pedestal over which the rigid probe makes electrical contact. A PC board is located on the opposite side of the ceramic substrate. A clamp ring retains the PC board to a test head system with mating precision reference surfaces formed therebetween. Pogo pin connectors extend between the PC board and the test head system. A stiffening element having a control aperture is bolted through the PC board to the clamp ring, all of which form a rigid test probe arrangement.

Aerodynamic air gun projectile

A projectile for an air arm is integrally formed from a single piece of dense malleable material formed as a body of revolution about a longitudinal axis having a head portion dimensioned for free sliding in the bore of an air arm and a skirt-like portion of frusto-conical form. The rearward end of the skirt portion is dimensioned to be in slight interference fit with the bore and the forward end is joined with the head portion to define a reduced diameter waist. The frustum is shell-walled, having a central recess opening to the rear and extending forwardly into the head portion. The head portion has a parabolically shaped outer surface which transitions smoothly into a hyperbolically shaped outer skirt surface for aerodynamic efficiency. Vanes are formed on the head portion to enhance in-flight spiraling rotation.

Method for manufacturing solid-state imaging devices

A solid-state imaging device is manufactured according to the steps below. A lattice-shaped rib forming member, which is an aggregation of a plurality of frame-shaped ribs for configuring a plurality of solid-state imaging devices, is resin-molded. An aggregate wiring board is used, which has regions corresponding to a plurality of the wiring boards, and in which a plurality of the wiring members are provided in each of the regions, and the imaging element is fastened to each region of the aggregate wiring board and the electrodes of the imaging elements and the wiring members are connected by a thin metal wire. The rib forming member is placed on the wiring board face and joined to the wiring board face, so that the imaging element is disposed inside the lattice elements of the rib forming member. The transparent plate is fastened to an upper face of the rib forming member, and each housing is cut in a direction perpendicular to the base portion, and in a direction dividing into two the width of the rib forming member, and separating the solid-state imaging devices into individual pieces It is possible to make a low cost housing, avoiding deformations caused by a difference in thermal expansion between the wiring board and the ribs made of a resin, when forming a plurality of housings together.

Casing for a steam or gas turbine

A casing for a steam or gas turbine comprises a shell and two flanges. The wall thickness of the shell is varied in an upper region facing away from the flange, in two central regions and in two lower regions facing the flanges, such that the upper region facing away from the flanges is reinforced in comparison with the lower regions facing the flanges. The lower regions facing the flanges are more flexible than the flanges which are attached by screws, and the partially reinforced central region and the reinforced upper region, and act as a joint to compensate for deformation, particularly in the radial direction. Consequently, the casing remains considerably more round in operation. The reduced radial clearance (achieved by reduced deformation) between the casing and the ends of the turbine blades leads to considerably increased efficiency during operation of the turbine.
