An electronic medical device is disclosed here. An exemplary embodiment of the medical device includes a printed circuit board assembly, a protective inner shell surrounding at least a portion of the printed circuit board assembly, and an outer shell surrounding at least a portion of the protective inner shell. The printed circuit board assembly has a printed circuit board, electronic components mounted to the printed circuit board, a battery mounted to the printed circuit board, and an interface compatible with a physiological characteristic sensor component. The protective inner shell is formed by overmolding the printed circuit board assembly with a first material having low pressure and low temperature molding properties. The outer shell is formed by overmolding the protective inner shell with a second material that is different than the first material.

A method of encapsulating and hermetically sealing a printed circuit board of a flex cable includes: positioning a printed circuit board portion of a flex cable into a channel defined in a first mold half of a mold, the printed circuit board portion including a substrate and electronic components mounted on the substrate; mounting a second mold half onto the first mold half to enclose the channel of the first mold half and form a cavity within the mold; and filling the cavity of the mold with an encapsulation material through an inlet opening defined through the mold.

An insert molding component includes a primary molding section with a concave portion formed on one surface thereof, an insert component disposed on a bottom side of the concave portion of the primary molding section, a heat-insulating component disposed in the concave portion of the primary molding section and disposed on a top of the insert component, and a secondary molding section disposed in contact with the one surface of the primary molding section.

A method of manufacturing the cover window includes a film layer and a resin layer disposed on the film layer to surround an edge of the film layer.

A method of producing a cover for optionally opening or tightly closing an opening in a vehicle roof, the cover having a sheet and a peripheral overmolding. According to the method, a coating is applied in a region which is later visible and which is to be covered, to a portion on the transparent sheet adjacent to the peripheral overmolding to be applied, and the coating is removed once the peripheral overmolding has been applied.

Disclosed herein is a textile-like in-mold sheet that is to be integrated with a resin molded body molded by injection of a molten resin by in-molding. The textile-like in-mold sheet includes a first surface that is to be integrated with the resin molded body, and a second surface that will serve as a back side of the first surface, such that the textile-like in-mold sheet contains at least a textile material layer and a temporary surface protection layer temporarily bonded to the textile material layer, in this order from the first surface toward the second surface.

A cover window and a method of manufacturing the cover window include a film layer and a resin layer disposed on the film layer to surround an edge of the film layer.

A sensor (1) and a method of manufacturing the sensor (1), the sensor (1) including a number of metallic strips (5,6,7) mounted on a non-conducting substrate (4) and a module (3) for forming electrical connections to the strips (5,6,7) whereby to enable communication between the strips (5,6,7) and monitoring equipment for the sensor (4), the module including a number of wire connections (16), the method including the steps of encapsulating the wire connections within a flexible chemical and heat resistant sealing compound, and subsequently, encapsulating the flexible sealing compound within a second sealing compound (34) by an injection molding process.

A process of producing a hollow item by injection-moulding thermoplastic material, which has a rigid external shell and at least one soft internal portion, which uses a mould comprising a matrix, a first semi-mould including a first cavity and a second semi-mould including a second cavity counter-shaped to the matrix to reproduce a respective semi-shell of said rigid external shell. The process includes the phases of positioning at least one insert made of a soft material, constituting the soft internal portion, on the matrix; covering the insert with a connecting layer; hermetically sealing the first and second semi-moulds onto the matrix along the edges of the cavities; injecting into the space between the cavities and the connecting layer a thermoplastic material that forms the rigid external shell to create a permanent connection of the soft insert to the shell. The connecting layer substantially retains the characteristics of the soft insert.
