A method of creating a topsheet for an absorbent article is disclosed. The method includes the steps of: obtaining a pre-cursor web of material, the pre-cursor web of material having a first surface and an opposing second surface, wherein the pre-cursor web of material is a composite or laminate web having a first layer and a second layer, wherein the first layer is a film and the second layer is a nonwoven material having a plurality of fibers; forming a first plurality of apertures having sidewalls extending in a first direction from the pre-cursor web of material; forming a second plurality of apertures having sidewalls extending in a second direction from the pre-cursor material, wherein the first direction and the second direction are different; and forming a plurality of embossments in the pre-cursor web of material, wherein the embossments are oriented in a third direction opposite the first direction.

A surfboard includes a core covered with a laminate and having curved perforations in the deck area and the tail area of the surfboard, in order to prevent air blisters from forming between the core and laminate. The curved perforations are deformable under pressure to minimize the opening of the perforations to inhibit liquid from entering and maximizing under zero pressure to allow the maximum amount of trapped liquid and gasses from escaping. The core is formed from an extruded closed-cell polystyrene foam block that has been shaped by restraining it against a shaped form using shaped restraining tools and straps, and heating it; and by cutting using a hot wire. The core is laminated with FIBERGLAS and epoxy resin, and the perforations are formed using a perforating tool that has a planar or curved working surface and one or more heated needles extending perpendicularly from the working surface.

A stress tearable tape includes an elongated film and a hand tearing arrangement. The film has a non-adhesive surface and an opposed adhesive surface, and defines a longitudinal direction and a transverse direction. The hand tearing arrangement includes a plurality of pinholes formed along the longitudinal direction of the film. With the combination application of internal force, shear tension, compression tension, pinhole arrangement, and material's biaxial structure, and users' habit together, each of the pinholes enables the film being torn by hand with a force starting at one of the pinholes, such that the film is hand tearable at any section in the transverse direction thereof.

Provided is a tape pasting mechanism with multiple functions of clutch-type synchronous punching, tape pasting and cutting which belongs to a tape pasting device for foil and includes a linear drive module, a clutch module, and following modules that are moved by the linear drive module: a punching module, a tape pasting module and a cutting module. The punching module includes a punching needle. The clutch module includes a punching bottom die that mates with the punching needle for punching. The clutch module is movable on the linear drive module together with the punching module.

Methods and systems for arranging shapes within a document prior to printing cut-out patterns are described. A printing device may identify and group contents in a page of a print job as shapes to be cut out from the paper after they are printed. The printing device may then detect the grouped page contents as cut-out patterns. For each cut-out pattern, the printing device may detect the white spaces of content of the cut-out pattern and mark them as available for printing other cut-out patterns. Thus, the printing device may print multiple cut-out patterns on a same page based on using the white space within larger cut-out patterns.

A Carl punch system for a vehicle seat cover. A guide (104) is installed above the upper surface of a base (102). A controller (106) is installed on the outer surface of the base (102) to control the Carl punch system according to a predetermined program. A Carl punch means (108) is disposed on the central upper surface of the base (102) to punch a seat cover to produce vent holes with a pattern desired by a user in the seat cover. A press (110) is vertically slidably installed on the guide (104) and electrically connected to the controller (106) so as to press the Carl punch means (108) disposed on the central upper surface of the base (102) according to a control signal from the controller (106). The Carl punch system has improved productivity and workability.
