Abstract: One aspect relates to a process for preparing a processed filament, including provision of a filament, including a segment. At least in the segment, the filament includes a core, including a first metal, a first layer which is superimposed on the core, and includes a polymer, and a second layer which is superimposed on the first layer, and includes a second metal. The segment of the filament is processed by interaction of the segment with at least one beam of electromagnetic radiation of a first kind. The electromagnetic radiation of the first kind has a spectrum with a peak wavelength in the range from 430 to 780 nm. Further, one aspect relates to a processed filament, obtainable by the process; a filament; an electrical device, including at least a part of the processed filament.

Abstract: A method for producing glass fiber nozzles, comprising the steps of: A) providing or producing a base plate comprising a first material, being chemically resistant to the glass melt and dispersion strengthened, B) printing at least one tube made of a second material being chemically resistant to the glass melt onto one side of the base plate, wherein the at least one tube each comprise at least one feedthrough, C) generating at least one passage in the base plate, the passage is connected to at least one of the at least one feedthrough in such a way that each of the at least one passage through the base plate forms a common line permeable to the glass melt, with at least one of the at least one feedthrough of an associated tube leads through the base plate and through the associated tube.

Abstract: A connector block for an implantable controller. The connector block includes a first pair of side-by-side bores extending distally from a proximal end of the connector block and defining a major longitudinal axis. A second pair of side-by-side bores extends distally from a distal end of the first pair of side-by-side bores, each of the first pair of side-by-side bores defining a first diameter and each of the second pair of side-by-side bores defining a second diameter less than the first diameter, each pair of the second pair of side-by-side lead bores include a setscrew bore sized to receive a setscrew and being transverse to the major longitudinal axis.
