An aircraft heated floor panel includes a first face sheet, a second face sheet opposite the first face sheet, and core with an electrically conductive core portion. The electrically conductive core portion supports the first face sheet and the second face sheet, and is electrically insulated from the external environment to receive electrical power, resistively generate heat, and communicate heat to the first face sheet.

The present invention relates to lining hoses with at least one seamless tubular inner foil and the at least one curable layer comprising at least one fiber ribbon impregnated with a curable resin for the renovation of fluid carrying pipe systems wherein the tubular inner foil is in contact with the resin impregnated fiber ribbon respectively the resin impregnated fiber ribbons and comprises functional groups and/or an armoring or reinforcement on the surface which, after installation, is oriented towards the resin impregnated fiber ribbon respectively fiber ribbons.

An air-sealed body capable of automatically opening an air valve is provided. First, the two inner films are laminated between two outer films. An air passage and a plurality of air columns are formed through joining by means of heat-sealing. Air inlets are formed by heat-sealing in the two inner films at the places where the heat-resisting material is coated, and a plurality of heat-sealed blocks are formed through joining by means of heat-sealing at the sides of the air inlets. When air is filled in, the two outer films of the air passage are pulled open outward in a longitudinal direction, the air passage contracts in a lateral direction due to a drop height of the heat-sealed blocks. The two inner films are squeezed by the heat-sealed blocks to be pulled open outward in the longitudinal direction to open the air inlet.

A system and method are provided for forming body structures including energy filters/shutter components, including energy/light directing/scattering layers that are actively electrically switchable. The filters or components are operable between at least a first mode in which the layers, and thus the presentation of the shutter components, appear substantially transparent when viewed from an energy/light incident side, and a second mode in which the layers, and thus the presentation of the energy filters or shutter components, appear opaque to the incident energy impinging on the energy incident side. The differing modes are selectable by electrically energizing, differentially energizing and/or de-energizing electric fields in a vicinity of the energy scattering layers, including electric fields generated between a pair of transparent electrodes sandwiching an energy scattering layer. Refractive indices of transparent particles, and the transparent matrices in which the particles are fixed, are tunable according to the applied electric fields.

At least one of the component (A) and the component (B) contains an epoxy compound ((A1) or (B1)) having a polyether backbone per molecule. A mass ratio of the component (A) to the component (B) falls within a range of 90:10 to 30:70.

A complete decreased mistake-proof high-reliability waterproofing system is revealed that integrates the waterproofing membrane, drain panel, and abrasion-protected filter fabric, using a factory-controlled process; furthermore, the system incorporates intrinsic devices for installation verification and leak-detection, and the potential for in situ mapping of the functional topography of the waterproofing installation over time.

A glass laminate includes a non-glass substrate with a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. A glass sheet is laminated to the first surface of the non-glass substrate. A barrier film is laminated to the second surface of the non-glass substrate and includes a first surface adjacent to the non-glass substrate, a second surface opposite the first surface. A thickness of the barrier film can be at most about 0.5 mm. The second surface of the barrier film can define an outer surface of the glass laminate. The barrier film can be a multi-layer barrier film with a metal layer and a polymer layer. An absolute value of a flatness of the glass laminate determined according to European Standard EN 438 after exposure to 23° C. and 90% relative humidity for 7 days can be at most about 3 mm/m.

In a peeling starting portion preparing method of a laminate, for the laminate including a first substrate and a second substrate peelably attached via an adsorption layer, a knife is inserted with a predetermined amount from an end surface of the laminate into an interface between the first substrate and the adsorption layer so as to prepare the peeling starting portion at the interface. The knife includes a main body portion, a cutting edge portion continuous with the main body portion and tapered in a side view, and a ridge line which is a boundary between the main body portion and the cutting edge portion, and at least a part of the adsorption layer is scraped off by a ridge line portion including the ridge line.
