A portable skull boiler in accordance with embodiments has a boiler basin optimally sized and configured for effective cleaning of cervid heads, with head positioning means, nose submersion means, and three or more adjustable and removable legs. The basin has one or more lids, and an adjustably positionable heat source. The skull boiler may be disassembled with all components securable in the boiler basin for transport and storage. The basin having a non rectilinear shape that conformingly receives and retains cervid heads thereby minimizing the size and volume of the basin facilitating efficient operation using minimal fuel and water, and easy transport.

An artificial nipple is formed of an elastomeric polymer by use of 3D printing after imaging of a mother's breast in an active state of lactation. The artificial nipple used as an attachment to a baby bottle or as the nipple component of a pacifier. Use of an artificial nipple formed in this manner mitigates a problem with nipple confusion, as may otherwise manifest in newborn offspring.

Implementations of an artificial nail measurement system and method (“artificial nail measurement”) are provided. In some implementations, the artificial nail measurement may comprise a mold casting kit. In some implementations, the artificial nail measurement may further comprise a mold extraction kit.

In some implementations, a method for the artificial nail measurement comprises a user receiving and using a mold casting kit to form a mold of the user's fingernails, shipping the mold to a nail technician to form a cast or replica of the user's fingernails, and the nail technician using the cast to measure the user's fingernails to select from pre-made artificial nails that then designed and shipped to the user for use.

Methods are disclosed for forming a decorative faceplate for attachment to an ear insert. An impression medium is first inserted into an ear for forming an impression of at least a portion of the ear concha and ear canal. An initial ear insert is formed based on the impression, which insert has an inner portion configured for insertion into the ear canal and an outer portion configured to be disposed in the ear concha and to face outward away from the ear. The outer portion further includes a faceplate attachment area having a perimeter edge that is configured to receive a faceplate. A model of the perimeter edge is generated, and a faceplate is formed from a faceplate material using the model as a guide. A final ear insert is formed, and the faceplate is attached to the faceplate attachment area of the final ear insert.

The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a mold for a diffraction grating light guide plate by using two mask films, the mold having first to fourth pattern portions provided on one surface thereof, and to a method of manufacturing a diffraction grating light guide plate.

The present invention relates to a method for producing an orthopaedic support element (1) having an overlap portion (2) in which the orthopaedic support element overlaps itself when it is applied to a body part that is to be corrected, wherein a manufacturing configuration (25) of the orthopaedic support element (1) is predefined for the production thereof, which manufacturing configuration (25) deviates from a therapy configuration (26) of the orthopaedic support element (1) when applying the latter to the body part that is to be corrected, wherein in the manufacturing configuration (25), in the overlap portion (2), a spacing (24) exists between a first open end (22) and the second open end (23) of the orthopaedic support element (1), which spacing (24) is not present in the therapy configuration (26).

Embodiments of the disclosed technology generally include systems and methods for the replication of a vulva. This disclosed method and system provides an option for the creation of an adult pleasure device by replication of the consumer's vulva for use by his, her, or their partner for sexual pleasure in the absence of his, her, or their partner. However, the potential applications of this invention are not limited to such use, and have many uses, such as for a keepsake, an intimate gift, or a fun experience.
