Compositions for use in the manufacture of three-dimensional objects including compositions for use as a support and / or release material in the manufacture of the three-dimensional objects are provided. There is thus provided, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, a composition suitable for building a three-dimensional object. The compositions may include, inter alia, a curable component, having a functional group, wherein if the functional group is a polymerizable reactive functional group, then the functional group is a (meth)acrylic functional group, a photo-initiator, a surface-active agent and a stabilizer; wherein said composition has a first viscosity of about 50–500 cps at a first temperature, wherein said first temperature is ambient temperature, and a second viscosity lower than 20 cps at a second temperature wherein said second temperature is higher than said first temperature, wherein, after curing, the composition results in a solid form. There is thus provided, in accordance with another embodiment of the present invention, a composition suitable for support in building a three-dimensional object. The compositions may include, inter alia: a non-curable component, a curable component, wherein the non-curable component is not reactive with said curable component, a surface-active agent and a stabilizer; wherein said composition has a first viscosity of about 20–500 cps at a first temperature, wherein said first temperature is ambient temperature, and a second viscosity lower than 20 cps at a second temperature wherein said second temperature is higher than said first temperature, wherein, after irradiation, the composition results in a solid, a semi-solid or liquid material. A method for the preparation of a three-dimensional object by three-dimensional printing is provided in accordance with embodiments of the present invention. Embodiments of the present invention further provide a three-dimensional object prepared according to the methods of the invention.

The present invention is directed toward an injectable, single- or multiple-component polymeric liquid precursor of an in situ-forming, non-absorbable, flexible, and resilient hydrogel or semi-solid that can be used in non-surgical, minimally invasive treatment of herniated disc.

A blade assembly suited for both blending and food processing in small throat blender jars is provided. The blade assembly comprises a plurality of blade forms each designed to perform a specific blending or processing task while simultaneously working together and with the geometric restrictions of the jar to optimize the assembly's capability to crush ice, blend or mix liquids and / or semi-solid materials, and to chop, cut, or slice solid food items without the need for user interaction to clear compacted items from the blades and / or the walls or bottom of the jar during its operation. The improved performance also serves the beneficial side effect of improved bearing and motor life in the blender / food processor.

An electronic control device having a high heat dissipating ability includes a printed board secured to an enclosure and interposed between a case and a cover with screws passing through the printed board. Thermally conductive thin film layers made of copper foil are formed in parallel on a mount face and an opposite mount face of the printed board and inside the printed board so as to be thermally separated from each other. A protrusion is provided on the cover and protrudes beyond a bottom part of the cover toward the position where an electronic component is mounted. A flexible, semi-solid thermally conductive material is placed between an end face of the protrusion and the opposite mount face of the printed board corresponding to the position where the electronic component is mounted to be in contact with the end face and the opposite mount face.
