PREGNANT ABDOMINAL SYSTEM AND ASSOCIATED DEVICES, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS
Simulated pregnant abdominal systems and associated devices, systems, and methods are provided. The pregnant abdominal systems allow an interactive scenario simulating a routine gestation palpation of a fetal baby, the performance of an external cephalic version as well as the Leopold's Maneuvers. Further, the pregnant abdominal systems can be used as a platform to physically hear the fetus heartbeat using stethoscope, Doppler instrument, or a prenatal monitor. Further, in some implementations the fetus can be visualized using standard ultrasound systems.
Manufacturing process for making toy figure clothing
A method of manufacturing a garment includes forming a multilayer composition having one or more design elements. The multilayer composition is formed by applying a material that includes the one or more design elements to an elastomeric polymer base layer. The method further includes heating the multilayer composition, and after the multilayer composition has been heated, then aligning each design element with a respective three-dimensional design feature of a three-dimensional mold, and pressing the heated multilayer composition into the three-dimensional mold. The method further includes cooling the pressed heated multilayer composition to form a three-dimensional molded multilayer composition that includes one or more three-dimensional design elements; and forming a three-dimensional garment from the three-dimensional molded multi-layer composition.
