The purpose of the present invention is to provide an inorganic fiber laminate having improved uniformity of surface density, as well as provide a vacuum insulation material using the same, and a manufacturing method for the same. The present invention relates to an inorganic fiber laminate (10) at least including a first inorganic fiber mat (1) that has a high-surface-density section (1a) and a low-surface-density section (1b), and a second inorganic fiber mat (2) that has a high-surface-density section (2a) and a low-surface-density section (2a), wherein the high-surface-density section (1a, 2a) of the first inorganic fiber mat (1) and/or the second inorganic fiber mat (2) are/is laminated on the low-surface-density section (1b) of the first inorganic fiber mat (1), and the high-surface-density section (1a, 2a) of the first inorganic fiber mat (1) and/or the second inorganic fiber mat are/is laminated on the low-surface-density section (2b) of the second inorganic fiber mat (2).

The current disclosure involves the arrangement and efficient deployment of self-adhering flexible sheet material in individual segments to encircle a bale of harvested material and isolate it from the wind, precipitation, and other elements as it remains in the field following the formation of the bale attendant with harvesting of the crop, until collected for further processing. For use with harvested crops such as cotton or hay, the individual wrapping segments further comprise adhering members, which cause a portion of a wrapping segment, generally found at what is considered a trailing end during a wrapping cycle, to releasably attach to adhering members on an opposite surface of the same wrapping segment.

Disclosed is a mass plywood panel assembly including at least two engineered wood panel assemblies. Each wood panel assembly includes a first layer including a first set of billets, a second layer including a second set of billets and a third layer including a third set of billets of sheets. The first set of billets, the second set of billets, and the third set of billets are all oriented longitudinally along the length of the wood panel assembly and the at least two engineered wood panel assemblies are connected by an end joint, thereby forming the mass plywood panel assembly. Methods of manufacturing mass plywood panel assemblies are also disclosed.

This invention relates to a printed textile substrate, such as a floorcovering article, and a process for making a printed textile substrate. The printed textile substrate contains areas of low viscosity printing ink and high viscosity printing ink. The process for making the textile substrate includes a one pass manufacturing step that results in a textile substrate having areas of low viscosity and high viscosity printing inks.

A fabric processing method and component (e.g., a vehicle component) includes providing and/or arranging a first fabric charge and a second fabric charge. A multi-piece fabric assembly is formed for single stage draping by stitching together the first and second fabric charges along a neutral stitching path. The multi-piece fabric assembly is formed into a three-dimensional shape and is then impregnated with a polymeric material to form the component.

The present application discloses a method for fabricating a composite structure for use as a resilient cushion, including: (a) placing a sheet of first resilient material on a surface; (b) cutting the sheet of first resilient material by pressing a cutter on to the first resilient material to produce a cut sheet of first resilient material displaying a cutting pattern of discrete first resilient elements of defined widths and lengths, wherein at least one of the first resilient elements touches adjacent resilient elements along its side; and (c) mounting a first expanse of material on at least one of the first resilient elements of the cut sheet of first resilient material to form a first composite structure.

A bamboo laminated lumber is provided having structural characteristics meeting or exceeding dimensionally equivalent wood based components. The bamboo laminated lumber is formed from bamboo laminated elements laminated and joined together to form dimensional lumber and engineered lumber components. The bamboo laminated lumber element comprises a combination of linear bamboo starter boards being halves of timber bamboo canes pressed flat with the inner pith surfaces laminated together with the grain aligned and skewed bamboo starter boards being halves of timber bamboo canes pressed flat with the inner pith surfaces laminated together with the grain offset from centerline at a specified angle. Top and bottom linear bamboo starter boards are laminated to a central skewed bamboo starter board yielding a bamboo laminated lumber element.
