A multilayer film bonded to a base fabric includes a first layer bonded to the base fabric; and a second layer disposed on the first layer. The first layer, the second layer, or both includes a thermoplastic elastomer. The thermoplastic elastomer is at least one selected from the group consisting of a polyester-based elastomer, a polyurethane-based elastomer, and a polyamide-based elastomer. A melt strength of the multilayer film is greater than or equal to 7.5 mN.

A hygienic face towel that allows a user to maintain a sanitary surface that can be used to contact a person's body thereby preventing transfer of contaminants that may be on a person's hands. The hygienic face towel includes a hygienic interior surface forming an interior space; an exterior surface covering the hygienic interior surface; an opening that extends through the exterior surface and the hygienic interior surface, the opening providing access to the interior space; at least one hand flap connected to the exterior surface and hygienic interior surface; and at least one finger loop disposed on the exterior surface, where the hygienic face towel can be manipulated to an inverted state by pushing on the exterior surface at the location of the finger loop, and the hygienic face towel can be manipulated from the inverted state to an un-inverted state by pulling on the at least one finger loop.

Provided are methods of forming stiffened stringer panels with integrated plank structures. A skin member having an inner surface is provided. A plank is positioned onto the inner surface of the skin member. The plank extends from a first side to a second side, and each laminate ply of the set of layered laminate plies is sized to form a geometric profile for each of the first side and the second side. Each laminate ply of the set of layered laminate plies is arranged to extend from the first side to the second side. A stringer is placed onto a support tool. The support tool, and the stringer thereon, is positioned upon an uppermost laminate ply of the set of layered laminate plies. The skin member, the plank, and the stringer are joined.

Implementations for composite display cover are described and provide improved protection and durability to device displays as compared with conventional display protection technologies. The described composite display cover, for instance, utilizes an ultra-thin glass layer with a polymer film applied directly to the glass layer and a hard coat applied to the polymer film. The polymer film, for instance, is applied to the glass layer without an adhesive. Further, the composite display cover can be attached to a display, such as via an adhesive layer that adheres the glass layer to a surface of the display.

The method for the production of curved furniture components comprises: an overlapping step of a first panel of wooden, plastic or metal material, of at least one intermediate separating layer and of a second panel of wooden, plastic or metal material for obtaining a flat semi-finished product having a perimeter edge; an interposition step of a polyurethane type adhesive between the intermediate layer and the first panel and second panel by hot dispensing of said adhesive on the surfaces of the first and the second panels which are adapted to be associated with the intermediate layer or by hot dispensing of the adhesive on the surfaces of the intermediate layer which are adapted to be associated with said first panel and second panel; a cold shaping step of the semi-finished product for obtaining a curved component; and a spraying step of a water-based auxiliary substance between the intermediate layer and at least one of the first panel and the second panel, subsequent to the interposition of the adhesive.

A deployable Kiriform flexure includes first and second sections. The first section of the Kiriform flexure includes a plurality of curved fins arranged about a central axis. The second section of the Kiriform flexure includes a plurality of curved fins arranged about a central axis. Each fin of the second section is joined with a fin of the first section such that the first and second sections share a common central axis in a configuration that produces out-of-plane elastic buckling of the fins to actuate the Kiriform flexure from a substantially flat structure that extends substantially only in two dimensions orthogonal to the central axis to an expanded structure extending substantially in a third dimension parallel to the central axis when at least one of the first and second sections is rotated relative to the other section.

A laminated glass assembly, an electrical assembly for a laminated glass assembly and a method of forming a laminated glass assembly. The laminated glass assembly includes at least an outer glass plate having a first major surface and a second major surface, an inner ultra-thin glass plate having a first major surface and a second major surface and an intermediate film layer situated between the outer glass plate and the inner ultra-thin glass plate. The electrical assembly is positioned between the outer glass plate and the inner ultra-thin glass plate along with a conductive medium to provide a signal path between the laminated glass assembly and vehicular electrical circuitry.

The present invention contemplates a method for forming a composite structure including a plurality of rigid layers and one or more reformable epoxy resin layers. The resulting composite is molded to form a non-planar composite structure.
