Patent CA-2376283-C (CA)
Title: Method of manufacturing an intracutaneous microneedle array
Inventor: YUZHAKOV VADIM VLADIMIROVICH
IPC: A45D34/04
Filed: 2000-06-07
Granted: 2007-08-28
Abstract: A microneedle array is manufactured using a mold preparation procedure that begins by placing an optical mask over a layer of PMMA material, exposing th e PMMA material to x-rays, then developing using a photoresist process. The remaining PMMA material is then electroplated with metal. Once the metal has reached an appropriate thickness, it is detached to become a metal mold that is used in a microembossing procedure, in which the metal mold is pressed against a heated layer of plastic material. Once the mold is pressed down to its proper distance, the plastic material is cooled until solidified, and th e mold is then detached, thereby leaving behind an array of microneedles. If t he microneedles are hollow, then an additional procedure is used to create through-holes all the way through the underlying substrate material using laser optical means.

Title: Production of on-demand semi-solid material for castings
Inventor: NORVILLE SAMUEL M D
IPC: B22D17/00
Filed: 2001-05-21
Granted: 2009-07-14
Abstract: A method of producing on-demand, semi-solid material for a casting process. A  metal alloy is heated to a molten state which is maintained within a desired temperature range. A portion of the molten alloy is transferred into a processing vessel (42) that includes its own cooling arrangement to facilitate cooling of the vessel (42) and the molten alloy contained therein. A thermal jacket may alternatively be used to facilitate such cooling. A stator (44) creates an electromagnetic field which is applied to the molten alloy to create a stirring action that results in a desired flow pattern of the molten alloy. The electromagnetic stirring begins as soon as the molten alloy is placed in the vessel (42) and continues while the cooling continues in order to create a slurry billet of the desired metallurgical composition. The slurry billet is then discharged from the vessel (42) directly into a shot sleeve (32) of a casting machine.
