In some implementations, an optical interference filter includes a substrate; and a set of layers that are disposed on the substrate. The set of layers includes a first subset of layers, wherein the first subset of layers comprises an aluminum nitride (AlN) material; and a second subset of layers, wherein the second subset of layers comprises a hydrogenated silicon (Si:H) material.

The present invention is intended to provide a gel sheet having a formulation providing an adhesive force on the skin side suitable for the skin (i.e., a gel having a low adhesive force and being able to withstand a tip pressure of a terminal and the like), and concurrently having a sufficient adhesive force against an electrode element on the side opposite to the skin side. The present invention is a gel sheet having a laminated structure of a layer A and a layer B, characterized in that the storage elastic modulus of the layer A at 23° C. and 10 Hz is 12,000 to 40,000 Pa, and the storage elastic modulus of the layer B at 23° C. and 10 Hz is 2,000 to 10,000 Pa.

Provided are a plated steel sheet and a method for manufacturing same, the plated steel sheet comprising: a base steel sheet; a Zn—Mg—Al plating layer provided on at least one surface of the base steel sheet; and an Fe—Al inhibition layer provided between the base steel sheet and the Zn—Mg—Al plating layer. The plating layer comprises, by weight %, 4 to 10% of Mg and 5.1-25% of Al and the remainder being Zn and unavoidable impurities with respect to components not including iron (Fe) diffused from the base steel sheet. The plating layer comprises a 24-50% MgZn.sub.2 phase in phase fraction. In the MgZn.sub.2 phase, an Al single phase is present in the ratio of 1-30% relative to the cross-sectional area of the total MgZn.sub.2 phase.

The disclosure relates to ink compositions for digital printing on an external surface of a plastic article. The ink compositions comprise an ink removal-promoting additive. In some aspects, the ink removal-promoting additive can facilitate the separation or loosening of the image from the external surface of the article when the image is exposed to a liquid-based solution at an elevated temperature. Also disclosed are recyclable plastic articles having an external surface with an image printed thereon using the disclosed ink composition and methods for removing cured ink from a plastic container. This abstract is intended as a scanning tool for purposes of searching in the particular art and is not intended to be limiting of the present invention.

An acoustic fiber silencer for a motor vehicle includes a first sound absorbing layer and a second sound insulating layer. The layers are formed of lightweight fibrous material, and the sound insulating layer is quilted. The acoustic fiber silencer includes a frame to which the sound absorbing and sound insulating layers are secured. The frame provides structural support and shape to the sound absorbing and sound insulating layers. The acoustic fiber silencer is lightweight while maintaining excellent noise attenuation properties.
