Method and panel with increased strength. The panel includes a base layer configured to have plural first protuberances; a core layer located on the base layer and configured to have plural second protuberances and to accommodate the plural first protuberances of the base layer; and a top layer in direct contact with the plural first protuberances and the plural second protuberances.

A beaded composite panel is fabricated using composite plies. An opening is formed in each of plies, and each ply is laid up on a bead feature and drawn down over the bead feature in the area of the opening so as to widen the opening into a gap allowing the ply to conform to the contour of the bead feature. Patches are fabricated and placed on the plies overlying over the openings. The laid-up plies are compacted and cured.

The present disclosure relates to a glass cover, particularly a glass cover used in a vehicle roof, which includes a glass pane, anti-shatter layer means arranged on an underside of the glass pane, and an encapsulation formed on an edge region of the glass pane wherein the anti-shatter layer means covers the whole underside of the glass pane and extends into the encapsulation.

A non-wicking underlayment board and methods for forming the same. The non-wicking underlayment board includes a foam core formed of closed cell foam with reinforcement layers encapsulated within the foam core. Outer facings formed of mineral coated nonwoven fibers are positioned on opposite faces of the non-wicking underlayment panel. The non-wicking underlayment board is useful for efficient and cost effective installation of barriers and surfaces in water-resistant and waterproof environments.

The present invention relates to a meltblown nonwoven in the form of a sheet-like formation with a weight per unit area of 100 to 600 g/m.sup.2 and with a density of 5 to 50 kg/m.sup.3, wherein the meltblown nonwoven (10) has at least one spacer (12), extending at least on one of the surfaces thereof and/or at least partially in the direction of the thickness of the meltblown nonwoven (10) and arranged in such a way that the meltblown nonwoven (10) has a compressibility of less than 10% when a pressure of 50 Pa is applied to its surface.

The present disclosure is a method of bonding an electrostatic chuck to a temperature control base. According to the embodiments, a bonding layer is formed between a dielectric body comprising the electrostatic chuck and a temperature control base. A flow aperture extends through the dielectric body and is aligned with a flow aperture in the temperature control base. The bonding layer is also configured with an opening that aligns with apertures in the dielectric body and the temperature control base. In one aspect, a porous plug may be disposed within the flow aperture to protect the bonding layer. In another aspect, a seal is disposed within the flow aperture to seal off the boding layer from gases in the flow aperture.

A display device includes a display panel; a supporter disposed on a surface of the display panel; and an adhesive layer disposed between the supporter and the display panel, wherein the supporter includes metal layers spaced apart from each other; and a cushion layer surrounding the metal layers, the adhesive layer includes a first area overlapping the metal layers in a vertical direction to the display panel; and a second area not overlapping the metal layers in the vertical direction to the display panel, and a modulus of the second area of the adhesive layer is larger than a modulus of the first area of the adhesive layer.

A building panel with a surface layer including a wood veneer, a wood fibre based core and a sub-layer between the surface layer and the core. The sub-layer includes wood fibres and a binder. The surface layer has surface portions including material from the sub-layer. The surface portions including material from the sub-layer extend into the wood veneer.

This application relates to an enclosure for a portable electronic device. The enclosure includes a metal substrate and a dehydrated anodized layer overlaying the metal substrate. The dehydrated anodized layer includes pores having openings that extend from an external surface of the dehydrated anodized layer and towards the metal substrate, and a metal oxide material that plugs the openings of the pores, where a concentration of the metal oxide material is between about 3 wt % to about 10 wt %.

One variation of a method for fabricating a dermal heatsink includes: fabricating a substrate defining an interior surface, an exterior surface opposite the interior surface, and an open network of pores extending between the interior surface and the exterior surface; activating surfaces of the substrate and walls of the open network of pores; applying a coating over the substrate to form a heatsink, the coating comprising a porous, hydrophilic material and defining a void network; removing an excess of the coating from the substrate to clear blockages within the open network of pores by the coating; hydrating the heatsink during a curing period; heating the heatsink during the curing period to increase porosity of the coating applied over surfaces of the substrate; and rinsing the heatsink with an acid to decarbonate the coating along walls of the open network of pores in the substrate.
