Abstract: A bilayer mold for forming polymer microstructures is provided. The bilayer mold includes a rigid plastic cylinder having slots defined along an outer periphery of the rigid plastic cylinder; and a layer of plastic elastic polymer material disposed within the slots and having indents defined therethrough and in the rigid plastic cylinder. The indents have a first profile extending through the layer of plastic elastic polymer and terminating within the rigid plastic cylinder. A metal polymer structure profile is also provided using laser-etching of a desired shape for the features of the microstructures in a metallic foil, followed by further refining of the features. The polymer and metal microstructures can be formed on the surface of a stent to facilitate retention of the stent.

Abstract: A surface affixable device incorporating mechanically actuated dry adhesive includes a body and a plurality of tiles affixed to the body. Each of the plurality of tiles includes an array of dry adhesive material elements disposed on front faces thereof. A first of the plurality of tiles is movably affixed to the body. An actuator is constructed and arranged to displace the first of the plurality of tiles in a first direction relative to a second of the plurality of tiles. A biasing element applies a bias to the first of the plurality of tiles in a second direction upon displacement of the first of the plurality of tiles in the first direction.

Abstract: Current ear-inserts are custom made, have variable sizes, and often fall out of the user's ear. In an embodiment, a gripping ear-insert includes a sealed membrane having conformable material therein (e.g., within a cavity). The sealed membrane is configured to form a shape conforming to a section of the human ear upon insertion. The gripping ear-insert also includes a port configured to, in response to being activated, allow for adjustment of air pressure within the sealed membrane. The gripping ear-insert can also include a control coupled with the port, configured such that in response to the control being activated, the port evacuates air from a cavity of the sealed membrane, such that the sealed membrane retains its shape after evacuation of the air. As such, the gripping ear-insert is secured in the user's ear while the amount of air/air pressure is adjusted.

Abstract: A mold for casting a micro-scale structure includes an upper surface including a first cavity having a first depth. A negative pattern for an array of micro-scale structures is defined in a surface of the first cavity. The mold includes at least one second cavity having a second depth defined in the cavity outside of the negative pattern for the array of micro-scale structures. The at least one second cavity defines a negative pattern for a standoff of the micro-scale structure. A fabric retaining frame is disposed in the first cavity.
