Publication number: 20230321324Abstract: An article includes multiple layers of polyaryletherketone (PAEK), in which each layer is composed of a continuous length of PAEK, in which the continuous length of PAEK in at least one of the layers includes an interior portion, and an exterior surface including crystalline regions, in which a crystallinity of the exterior surface is higher than a crystallinity of the interior portion. The cross-sectional area of the continuous length of PAEK is non-uniform within each layer. Each layer defines a plane, and a portion of the continuous length of PAEK in each layer extends out of the plane defined by the layer.

Patent number: 11446071Abstract: A resilient washer has a one-piece washer body. The washer body has a central opening, an upper fastener interfacing section or bowl, a lower structure interfacing section or bowl and a resilient middle portion. The resilient middle portion connects the upper fastener interfacing section or bowl and the lower structure interfacing section or bowl. The resilient middle portion is configured to be locally collapsed when a fastener in the central opening is tightened into a structure. In one embodiment, the upper fastener interfacing section or bowl is annular, wherein the upper fastener interfacing section or bowl has a concavity for holding a head of the fastener. The concavity can be of a hemispherical shape. Preferably, the concavity has a smooth surface to allow polyaxial movement of a fastener.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2020Date of Patent: September 20, 2022Assignee: Curiteva, Inc.Inventors: Eric Linder, Ryan Heskett
