Abstract: A method of making a very high resolution raised relief map (190) includes making a very high resolution mold form (82) by means of a rapid-prototyping process such as a three-dimensional printer (80). A high resolution three-dimensional surface (90) is formed on the mold and a thin formable plastic film (60) having high resolution features pre printed thereon is positioned in precise alignment with corresponding features on the mold form. The thin plastic film is then thermoformed against the high resolution surface of the mold to make the high resolution raised relief map (190).

Abstract: A braided fiber reinforced composite shaft with yoke member of a universal joint (8) having a tubular portion (10) integrally connected with the yoke portion (12). The yoke portion (12) has a pair of opposed axially extending arms (20) which extend beyond the tubular portion (10). The yoke arms (20) contain diametrically opposed holes (22) centrally located and near the end of each arm (20). A portion of the braided fiber reinforcement extends continuously around the tubular portion (10), into the axially extending arms, around the respective holes (22) and back around the tubular portion (10).
