A prosthetic device comprising at least one part consisting of a polymer composition comprising at least one polyarylene (P1) and at least one polyarylether selected from the group consisting of poly(aryl ether ketone)s (P2) and poly(aryl ether sulfone)s (P3).

Prosthetic devices

Ammunition casings that have optimal external cartridge dimensions for polymeric cases are provided. Polymeric ammunition cartridges and casings are presented having a neck portion of the polymeric case dimensioned for optimal fit within a firearm chamber. The polymeric ammunition casing may include one or both of an extended neck region and an internal cannelure engaging portion.

Neck polymeric ammunition casing geometry

Apparatus and methods for manufacturing subsonic ammunition articles from conventional supersonic ammunition articles are provided. The apparatus includes devices for controllably introducing a filler material to reduce the inner volume of a conventional supersonic ammunition article. Method are also provided for converting a conventional supersonic ammunition article to a subsonic ammunition article including defining a new subsonic propellant volume within said conventional supersonic ammunition article and controllably introducing a filler material therearound.

Method for producing subsonic ammunition casing

A subsonic ammunition cartridge casing having an engineered internal volume designed to allow for the introduction of precisely the amount of propellant necessary at precisely the desired location to reproducibly produce the desired projectile velocity and internal pressure is provided. The subsonic shell casing has an engineered internal propellant cavity built into the internal body of the casing itself that does not necessarily depend on the introduction of a separate volume reducing device such as tubing, filler, foam filler and the like. This ensures the integrity of the case, does not result in anything being expelled through the muzzle of the weapon other than the projectile, does not have any burning or combusting components, allows for very precise control of the internal volume and thus chamber pressure, and is economical to produce.

Subsonic ammunition casing

Medical tubing (T), such as a guidewire, a stent, a catheter or a hollow needle, made of a kinked rigid-rod polyarylene exhibiting a outstanding characteristics including high torqueability, high pushability and high flexibility and which can be easily thin-wall extruded under especially harsh conditions.

Medical tubings made of a polymer material

An ammunition cartridge casing having a geometry designed to allow for the use of polymeric materials in forming the walls of the cartridge casing of an ammunition article, and methods of reusing such cartridges are provided. More specifically, the ammunition cartridge has a specified ratio between the wall-thicknesses of select portions of an ammunition article's cartridge casing such that polymeric materials may be used in the construction of the ammunition article cartridge casings.

Polymeric ammunition casing geometry

Blend (B) comprising: Article or part of an article comprising the blend (B).

Aromatic polycarbonate composition

Blend (B) comprising at least one polyarylene in a form other than fibers, and at least one poly(aryl ether ketone). Blend (T) comprising at least one polyarylene, at least one poly(aryl ether ketone) and at least one poly(aryl ether sulfone). Article or part of an article comprising the blend (B) or the blend (T).

Polyarylene composition

A prosthetic device made of a first specific type of polyarylene, taken alone or in combination with a second specific type of polyarylene, featuring some unexpected advantages such as a very high strength and stiffness, good elongation properties, high chemical resistance, good biocompatibility as well as an outstanding impact resistance.

An ammunition article is provided which comprises a casing and a cap wherein the casing is formed from a polymeric material that has a room temperature notched Izod impact value greater than about 10 ft lbs/in and then has a ratio of notched Izod impact value at room temperature to notch Izod impact value at about &#x2212;40&#xb0; C. of less than about 4.
