A method for manufacturing a sandwich component includes applying at least one matrix material to the upper side and/or the underside of at least one material blank, and arranging the material blanks above one another and/or next to one another. At least two of the material blanks differ in design or matrix material may be applied in different ways along the upper side and/or underside thereof, or matrix material is applied in different ways to at least one of the material blanks along the upper side and/or underside thereof. In that way, at least one horizontal and/or vertical zone of the sandwich component is created having different mechanical properties than other regions of the sandwich component. The material blanks are then pressed to form the sandwich component.

The present invention provides the following multilayer heat-shrinkable styrene-based film having an appropriate surface shape, together with excellent lubricity and blocking resistance, and resistance to ink skipping and like problems during the printing process: a multilayer heat-shrinkable styrene-based film having: layers (A) each containing 0.8 to 2.5 parts by weight of high impact polystyrene resin and 0.02 to 0.15 parts by weight of organic fine particles having a mean particle diameter of 0.5 to 5 μm per 100 parts by weight of a block copolymer of 75 to 90 wt % vinyl aromatic hydrocarbon and 10 to 25 wt % conjugated diene hydrocarbon; and a layer (B1) containing a block copolymer of 70 to 85 wt % vinyl aromatic hydrocarbon and 15 to 30 wt % conjugated diene hydrocarbon; or a layer (B2) containing a resin composition containing a copolymer of 98 to 40 wt % vinyl aromatic hydrocarbon and 2 to 60 wt % aliphatic unsaturated carboxylic acid ester.

A wear panel for mining and materials handling applications is provided. The wear panel includes a housing matrix (1) with a top surface (2), a bottom surface (3) opposite the top surface (2) and at least one cavity (4) with cavity walls (5). The cavity (4) extends through the top surface (2) and the bottom surface (3). The wear panel also includes at least one wear-resistant member (6) with a preformed shape. The at least one wear-resistant member (6) has a top surface (7) and a bottom surface (8) opposite the top surface (7). The wear-resistant members (6) are disposed in the cavity (4) and are locked into place by their preformed shape and the cavity walls (5).

Power transmission system (1) for power transmission of electric power (P) from a power source (2A) to a power sink (4A) which is connected to the power source (2A) via a power transfer cable (3), wherein the power source (2A) has a first pole with a first electric potential, which is connected via parallel current lines of a first conducting pair of the power transfer cable (3) to a first pole of the power sink (4A), and a second pole with a second electric potential, which is connected via further parallel current lines of a second conducting pair of the power transfer cable (3) to a second pole of the power sink (4A), wherein, during the power transmission via the current lines, a user data signal can be transmitted between the power source (2A) and the power sink (4A) via at least one conducting pair with current lines of the same electric potential, uninfluenced by the power transmission.

A method is for manufacturing a honeycomb structure including a core material in which a hole is formed to penetrate in a thickness direction and is arranged in a plane direction, and a skin material that is stacked on a surface of the core material. The skin material includes a thermosetting resin. The method includes half-curing the thermosetting resin by placing the skin material in a bag and heating the skin material in a state where an inside of the bag is evacuated and an outside of the bag is under an atmospheric pressure; stacking the skin material in which the thermosetting resin is half-cured onto a side of the surface of the core material; and bonding and integrating the core material and the skin material with each other by pressurizing and heating the stacked core material and skin material with the use of a sealing pressurizing heating facility.
