An electrode used in a battery system, the electrode including a sheet made of a nonwoven fabric containing a plurality of carbon fibers. The sheet includes a first surface and a second surface that face each other in a direction along a thickness of the sheet, the plurality of carbon fibers include a first carbon fiber, the first carbon fiber includes at least one of a cut section facing the first surface and a cut section facing the second surface, a width of the sheet is less than or equal to 1000 mm, and a length of the sheet is less than or equal to 2000 mm.

A rotary cutter insert can include a body configured to cover a first portion of a surface of a rotary blade. Further, the body of the rotary cutter insert can have an angled cutout configured to expose a second portion of the surface of the rotary blade so a rotary cutter can be used while the rotary cutter insert is in place. The rotary cutter insert reduces the area of exposed rotary blade that could potentially injure a user, thus making the rotary cutter significantly safer.

In various embodiments, the present disclosure relates generally to a method for needling a spiral textile to create a needled preform, the method comprising receiving the spiral textile on a bed plate of a circular needle loom, engaging a positional structure of the spiral textile, rotating the spiral textile around the circular needle loom, depositing a predetermined number of layers of the spiral textile on the bed plate, and needling the spiral textile to create the needled preform. Moreover, the present disclosure also provides, in various embodiments, a method for creating a circular needled preform from a spiral textile, comprising attaching sacrificial fibers to at least one of the weft tow and the plurality of warp tows proximate at least one of the inside diameter and the outside diameter, and engaging the sacrificial fibers with an engagement mechanism on a circular needle loom.

A process for producing a nonwoven web material with improved edge quality, and the product thereof, are disclosed. The process may include the steps of forming a batt of polymeric fibers; consolidating the batt in a z-direction and thereby forming a nonwoven web material, conveying the nonwoven web material to a nip between a bonding roller and anvil roller, and impressing a pattern of bond impressions into the nonwoven web material, the bond impressions lying along a cut path. When the web is subsequently cut along the cut path, fibers proximate the cut path are immobilized by the bonds, providing for relatively neater, cleaner cut edges and reducing the number of loose fibers that may be released into the plant environment in downstream processing operations.

A sliding sheet includes a fabric layer is disclosed. The fabric layer includes warp yarns and weft yarns. The warp yarns are interlaced with the weft yarns. The sliding sheet has a first edge extending in a length direction of the sliding sheet. The warp yarns are bent toward a middle portion of the first edge. A method for manufacturing the sliding sheet is also disclosed. An auxiliary yarn is woven with the warp yarns and the weft yarns to form a fabric raw layer. A tension for weaving the auxiliary yarn is adjusted so that the tension of the auxiliary yarn is greater than the tension of the warp yarns, thereby bending the warp yarns in the fabric raw layer toward the auxiliary yarn. The fabric raw layer is heated to fix the shape of yarns, and cut into the fabric layer to form the sliding sheet.
