A method of manufacturing a medical component includes molding a first member of the medical component from an elastomeric material. The first member includes a first end defined by a closed base wall, an opposing second end which is an open end, a sidewall extending between the first and second ends, and an internal recess to receive at least one electronic device. The method further includes positioning the electronic device within the recess of the first member to form an assembly, such that the electronic device is received in an inverted open cavity defined by the sidewall. The method further includes applying a protective film on the second end of the first member, such that the protective film covers an exposed surface of the electronic device. In addition, the method includes overmolding the assembly with the elastomeric material to form the medical component having the electronic device embedded therein.

The present invention relates to a raw material for a bio-3D printing support and, more specifically, to a novel type bio-3D printing support material for tissue engineering, a method for manufacturing a three-dimensional support by using the same, and a 3D-printing three-dimensional support manufactured thereby, the raw material: being non-toxic and implementing excellent biocompatibility and cell adhesion since a raw material for a tissue engineering support (scaffold) produced by bio-3D printing technology, a specific fatty acid and a fatty alcohol (phase change material) derived from a natural source having a low melting point and a low molecular weight are used; and, in particular, allowing a phase change to easily occur at a temperature similar to body temperature such that a process is simplified and cells or growth factors can be mixed.

The present invention is directed towards a window sill flashing comprising a base having a substantially rectangular shape. A front flange projects perpendicularly downward from a front edge of the base and at least one side flange extends vertically from a side edge of the base. The side flange includes a front surface. The window sill flashing is made from a rigid homopolymer vinyl film.

A resin composition for a modeling material for use in shaping a modeling material (4) by an ink-jet photofabrication method, the resin composition comprising, based on 100 parts by weight of the whole resin composition, 19 to 49 parts by weight of a water-insoluble monofunctional ethylenically unsaturated monomer (A), 15 to 50 parts by weight of a di- or more-functional polyfunctional ethylenically unsaturated monomer (B), 10 to 45 parts by weight of an oligomer (C), and a photopolymerization initiator (D).
