  • Patent number: 12006974
    Abstract: A raceway element for a rolling-element bearing, the rolling-element bearing having an inner ring, an outer ring, and a plurality of rolling elements that are disposed between the inner ring and the outer ring. The raceway element is configured as an inner ring or as an outer ring, or is configured to be attachable to an inner ring or outer ring of the bearing, wherein at least one surface of the raceway element is configured as a raceway for the rolling elements. The raceway element is formed from a sheet metal panel having at least one recess formed in the surface configured as the raceway.

  • Patent number: 8088313
    Abstract: A measured amount of a material that is crosslinkable by impingement of a suitable form of energy, especially UV light, is introduced into a two-part mould of which the cavity determines the shape of a moulding to be produced. The two mould halves are held a small distance from one another so that a thin annular gap is formed between them, which gap is in communication with the mould cavity and through which gap excess material can escape. The crosslinking is triggered by impingement of the selected form of energy, the impingement being spatially restricted to the cavity by suitable masking so that material disposed outside the mould cavity is not crosslinked. In that manner mouldings are obtained that do not require subsequent mechanical processing, and the mould is reusable. The process is especially, but not, however, exclusively, suitable for the manufacture of contact lenses.
