The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a textile/thermoplastic resin composite part, comprising the following steps: (a) providing a mould; (b) applying at least one composition (A) comprising at least one thermoplastic resin; (c) heating the mould; (d) applying the textile to the heated thermoplastic resin; (e) cooling the mould; (f) unmoulding.

The invention relates to a method of manufacturing an air-intake duct (30) with induction noise and radiated noise attenuation that is intended to be connected to an internal combustion engine. The method comprises the steps of: (a): providing a mould (1) comprising two moulding cavities (2), each cavity (2) having at least one groove (4) adapted for moulding a rib (32) and having at least two half-bores (5) adapted for moulding end sleeves (34-36), (b): providing a core (8) adapted to be positioned between the cavities (2), for moulding an air-intake duct (30), (c): positioning a tubular layer (9) of air-porous material on the core (8), (d): positioning the core (8) with the tubular layer (9) between the moulding cavities (2), (e): injecting a thermoplastic material into the, or each, groove (4) and into each half-bore (5) of each cavity (2), in order to overmould ribs (32) and end sleeves (34-36) onto the tubular layer (9) so as to form a duct (30).

The present invention provides a method of reducing lifting of a graphics film from a substrate, the graphic film having a polymeric film layer having on one major side thereof an adhesive layer, wherein lifting is reduced by applying the graphic film to the substrate with an intermediary base film, the base film comprising a backing layer having opposite first and second major sides, the first major side having an adhesive layer and the graphic film being adhered to the second major side of the base film.

An insulating element for insulating a structural element in a vehicle including a carrier element having an edge region and an expandable material which is provided at least on the edge region on the carrier element. The expandable material projects beyond the edge region of the carrier element in at least one direction so that the expandable material forms a flexible projection in this at least one direction.

According to one embodiment, an apparatus for improved breathing is provided. The apparatus may include an improved oral appliance, an improved mask, an improved coupler to couple an oral appliance to a mask, and/or a combination of these improvements.

Provided are a heat-shrinkable polyester-based label, and a package which each have a solvent-bonded portion where no solvent permeation-through is caused even when a film of the label is small in thickness. Provided are, in particular, a heat-shrinkable polyester-based label and a package which each have a solvent-bonded portion giving a high peel strength stably even through a high-speed tubing step, or even when the film is a heat-shrinkable polyester-based film in which a PET-bottle-recycled material is used in a large proportion. The label is a heat-shrinkable polyester-based label that is a tubular label in which both end portions of a heat-shrinkable polyester-based film are bonded to each other with a solvent composition. In this label, the solvent composition is a solvent composition containing at least 1,3-dioxolane and/or tetrahydrofuran (THF), and a polyester, and the end portion bonded has a peel strength of 2 N/15 mm or more.

The invention relates to a multilayer body (100) for producing a decorated plastic article (50) having a surface relief (40). The multilayer body (100) comprises a relief film (1) with a first carrier film (2) and a structural layer (3), arranged on one side of the first carrier film (2). The multilayer body (100) also comprises a multilayer film (5) with a second carrier film (10) and at least one decorative layer (12, 14). The structural layer (3) is arranged here between the first carrier film (2) and the second carrier film (10). Furthermore, the multilayer body (100) has a film body (19) which comprises the relief film (1) and can be released from the at least one decorative layer (12, 14), and the at least one decorative layer (12, 14) is formed such that it can be deformed by the structural layer (3) formed as a stamped structure. The invention also relates to a process for producing such a multilayer body (100), and to two processes for producing a decorated plastic article (50) having a surface relief (40) by using such a multilayer body (100).

A trim component for attachment to a vehicle seat includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion is disposed on a first side of the trim component and defines a first knit. The second portion is disposed on a second side of the trim component and defines a second knit distinct from the first knit. The first and second portions are integrally knitted. The trim component is configured to be installed on or more support members of the seat. The first side is configured to face the support member. The second portion is configured communicate with an occupant of the seat. In various aspects, the first portion includes a first yarn and the second portion includes a second yarn that is distinct from the first yarn with respect to one or more of density, thickness, and material. In various aspects, the first yarn is a heat-activated yarn.
