  • Patent number: 8480727
    Abstract: A covered stent including an endovascular implant having a polymeric stent structure with an integrally formed membrane-like graft component, also referred to as a stent-graft, and methods of manufacturing the one-piece stent-graft by an injection molding process. A molding system for creating the polymeric stent structure is injected with a melt stream of moldable material that is forced between a parting line of the molding system to create a thin, flexible membrane-like structure within the open areas or interstitial spaces of the molded stent structure. The stent-graft so created is a one-piece, unified structure molded from a polymeric material in a single manufacturing step.

  • Publication number: 20120219759
    Abstract: A micro structure which is preferred as an original plate of an antireflection, a mold of nano imprint or injection molding is obtained by a single particle film etching mask on which each particle is precisely aligned and closest packed in two dimensions. A single particle film etching mask is produced by a drip step wherein a dispersed liquid in which particles dispersed in a solvent are dripped onto a liquid surface of a water tank, a single particle film formation step in which a single particle film which consists of the particles by volatizing a solvent is formed, and a transfer step in which the single particle film is transferred to a substrate. The single particle film etching mask on which particles are closest packed in two dimensions, has a misalignment D(%) of an array of the particles that is defined by D(%)=|B?A|×100/A being less than or equal to 10%. However, A is the average diameter of the particles, and B is the average pitch between the particles in the single particle film.

  • Publication number: 20120217670
    Abstract: The present invention generally relates to a mold assembly (32, 34) and a method of using the mold for the manufacture of composite parts which, more particularly, are generated from a strengthener in a generally solid phase and a matrix in a generally liquid phase. Various types of molds and processes may be used in order to impregnate a strengthener with a matrix such that a composite part may be manufactured, but the efficiency rate and the duration of the manufacturing process significantly varies depending on the chosen type of mold and process. The present invention relates to a mold assembly and to the manufacture of composites by using the mold assembly which includes the injection of the matrix in the mold assembly containing the strengthener and a deformable member (36) which favors the impregnation of the matrix toward the strengthener.
