Interior coatings for glass structures in electronic devices
An electronic device may include electrical components and other components mounted within a housing. The device may have a display on a front face of the device and may have a glass layer that forms part of the housing on a rear face of the device. The glass layer and other glass structures in the electronic device may be provided with coatings. An interior coating on a glass layer may include multiple layers of material such as an adhesion promotion layer, thin-film layers of materials such as silicon, niobium oxide and other metal oxides, and metals to help adjust the appearance of the coating. A metal layer may be formed on top of the coating to serve as an environmental protection layer and opacity enhancement layer. In some configurations, the coating may include four layers.
Reinforced wood fiber core
A winding core with improved beam and hoop strength and diminished friability and method for manufacturing such a core are provided, the winding core comprising: an extruded wood fiber core member; and at least one preformed paper shell member having a split seam parallel to its major axis, the shell being adhered to an exterior surface of the extruded wood fiber core member and a secondary shell of wooden staves.
Method for producing coated metallic substrates and coated metallic substrates
The present disclosure relates to coated non-metallic substrates and coated metallic substrates, and methods for producing such coated substrates. A variant of the method is characterized in that a mat or glossy coating is underneath a metallic layer obtained in some cases by way of vapor deposition and/or sputtering. In another variant, the metallic is sufficiently thin so that it remains transparent or translucent to visible light. The coated substrates may include multiple layers such as metallic layers, polysiloxane layers, a color layer, a conversion layer, a primer layer, and/or a transparent or colored layer. An application system for applying a metallic layer to at least one surface of a substrate may include a plasma generator and/or a corona system for treating one or more layers by plasma treatment and/or corona treatment.

Glass-based articles including a metal oxide concentration gradient
Embodiments of a glass-based article including a first surface and a second surface opposing the first surface defining a thickness (t) of about 3 millimeters or less (e.g., about 1 millimeter or less), and a stress profile, wherein all points of the stress profile between a thickness range from about 0.Math.t up to 0.3.Math.t and from greater than about 0.7.Math.t up to t, comprise a tangent with a slope having an absolute value greater than about 0.1 MPa/micrometer, are disclosed. In some embodiments, the glass-based article includes a non-zero metal oxide concentration that varies along at least a portion of the thickness (e.g., 0.Math.t to about 0.3.Math.t) and a maximum central tension in the range from about 80 MPa to about 100 MPa. In some embodiments, the concentration of metal oxide or alkali metal oxide decreases from the first surface to a value at a point between the first surface and the second surface and increases from the value to the second surface. The concentration of the metal oxide may be about 0.05 mol % or greater or about 0.5 mol % or greater throughout the thickness. Methods for forming such glass-based articles are also disclosed.
Embossed film, sheet film, transfer copy, and method for producing embossed film
There is provided an embossed film in which the frequency of loss of concavities is smaller, the embossed film including: a film main body; and a plurality of concavities formed on a surface of the film main body. A diameter of an opening surface of the concavity is larger than a visible light wavelength, an arrangement pattern of the concavities has periodicity along a length direction of the film main body, and the difference between the rate of loss of concavities in one end portion of the film main body and the rate of loss of concavities in the other end portion of the film main body is 10 ppm or less.
Multi-impedance composite
An acoustic composite comprising a plurality of discrete air flow resistive layers layered on top of each other including a top layer and one or more lofted fibrous layers produced by a lapping process, the top layer having a specific air flow resistance that is greater than a specific air flow resistance of the one or more lofted fibrous layer.

Electromagnetic wave absorber
An electromagnetic wave absorber includes an electromagnetic wave-absorbing layer (10) and an adhesive layer (20). The adhesive layer (20) is disposed on at least one surface of the electromagnetic wave-absorbing layer (10). The electromagnetic wave absorber is capable of being adhered to a surface having a step in such a manner that the adhesive layer (20) is in contact with the surface. The adhesive layer (20) has a thickness equal to or greater than a reference height determined by subtracting 0.1 mm from the height of the step. In the electromagnetic wave absorber, a return loss ΔR defined by ΔR=Rt−Rr is 15 dB or more. Rt is a reflection amount of a 76-GHz electromagnetic wave and is measured for a reference specimen. Rr is a reflection amount of a 76-GHz electromagnetic wave and is measured for a specimen obtained by adhering the electromagnetic wave absorber.
Recreational vehicle component with image and method of manufacturing
A structural panel for a recreational vehicle includes a plurality of layers laminated together to form a lamination. The lamination forms an outer surface of the structural panel, which is configured to form a sidewall, a ceiling, or a floor of the recreational vehicle when mounted in the recreational vehicle relative to the vehicle chassis. The structural panel further includes an image that is formed on or in one of the plurality of layers in or internal to the structural panel and which is visible at the outer surface. The image is in a location that is in a known fixed registry with a structural reference, such as the outer perimeter, of the structural panel prior to the panel being mounted in the recreational vehicle wherein the location of the image is known relative to the structural reference of the structural panel.
