A skateboard deck that has a reduced weight, improved strength, and is, overall, more resilient. The addition of composite laminate layers improves the strength and performance of the skateboard. A composite layer may include carbon fiber layers, which are used to reduce the weight and thickness of the skateboard, while increasing the resilience and strength. Layered, high-strength tipfills and layered side edges may prevent chipping and delamination. The composite layers may inlay into the tipfills and side edges, allowing for protection of the composite layers. The tipfills and side edges protect the various other layers and prevent normal wear from abrasion, chipping, and delamination of the deck.

A panel assembly includes a multilayer load bearing panel configured to enclose an opening to an interior compartment by positioning the panel in the opening. The panel has opposing first and second appearance layers and is reversible in the opening between first and second positions. In the first position, the first appearance layer is outwardly facing in the opening and the second appearance layer faces inwardly to the compartment. In the second position, the second appearance layer is outwardly facing in the opening and the first appearance layer faces inwardly to the compartment. One of the appearance layers is made of a protective polymeric coating such as a thermosetting polyurethane-based coating or thermoset polyurea coating. The other appearance layer is made of one of a laminate structure which can include a wood veneer, a textile, or a carpeting material. A method for making the multilayer panel is provided.

The device has a support segment for supporting a workpiece, in particular a flat workpiece, and a carrier segment, in particular a cantilever, a gantry, or an articulated-arm robot, which carrier segment holds a working unit. According to a preferred embodiment, the carrier segment can extend at least partially over the support segment. The working unit, in turn, comprises a feeding unit for feeding a forming material and an attachment segment for a die. According to the invention, the die can be placed against a workpiece and comprises a cavity for forming a component.

Disclosed herein are a real wood film and a method of manufacturing an injection-molded real wood product by using the real wood film. The real wood film includes: a sliced veneer; a non-woven fabric adhered to the bottom surface of the sliced veneer by means of a non-aqueous adhesive, and configured to protect the sliced veneer from moisture; a formation improvement layer adhered to the bottom surface of M the non-woven fabric, and configured to prevent the sliced veneer from being wrinkled due to heat applied to the sliced veneer and prevent a crack from occurring; and a thermoplastic adhesive layer adhered to the bottom surface of the formation improvement layer, and configured to enable adhesion to injected resin.

A method of forming a surface covering includes supplying a surface covering raw material. The surface covering raw material includes a substrate and a foamable layer formed on the substrate. A foaming inhibiting composition is applied in a predetermined pattern to the foamable layer formed on the substrate. The foaming inhibiting composition is a non-aqueous composition.

A wooden material sheet including: a wooden material made of natural wood; a thermoplastic shape conforming layer and a support layer disposed on one face of the wooden material; and a colored pattern layer, a second adhesive layer, and a first adhesive layer disposed on the other face of the wooden material.

A ground cover mat includes a slab that encases a core assembly. The slab is made of a rubber material and defines a lower major surface and an upper major surface of the ground cover mat. The core assembly comprises horizontally extending boards, which may be made of wood, disposed in horizontally spaced apart, side-by-side relation with each other. The core assembly further comprises a rebar mesh, which may be made of steel, that is disposed on top of and in contact with the boards.

Exemplary pressurization and coating systems, methods, and apparatuses are described herein. In certain embodiments, pressurization systems, methods, and apparatuses are used in conjunction with coating systems, methods, and apparatuses to control pressure about a substrate after a coating material is applied to a surface of the substrate. An exemplary system includes a die tool configured to apply a coating material to a substrate passing through the die tool and a pressurization apparatus attached to the die tool and forming a pressurization chamber. The pressurization apparatus is configured to receive the substrate from the die tool and control pressure about the substrate in the pressurization chamber. In certain embodiments, the die tool forms a coating chamber and is configured to apply the coating material on at least one surface of the substrate in the coating chamber.

A degradable composite, a wind turbine blade, and a manufacturing method of the wind turbine blade are provided. The degradable composite includes 30% to 40% of a degradable epoxy resin composition, 45% to 55% of a fiber raw material, 0% to 20% of a core material, and 0% to 10% of an epoxy structural adhesive in mass percentages. The degradable epoxy resin composition includes a degradable modified resin. A degradable epoxy resin is adopted as a structural layer to manufacture a wind turbine blade that has excellent mechanical properties and conforms to the requirements of blade designs and the environment, health, and safety (EHS) standards in the industry. Because the degradable epoxy resin is used, the manufactured composite component can be degraded and separated under appropriate conditions to recover a resin liquid and a fiber raw material, and the recovered resin liquid and fiber raw material can be recycled.

A formed ligneous body having a highly original and excellent design and exhibiting a novel handsome appearance is provided, and a method of making the formed ligneous body. The formed ligneous body includes a translucent base portion, and decorative spot portions whose degree of translucency is different from that of the base portion and which are integrated with the base portion. The base portion and the decorative spot portion are formed of respective resin-impregnated ligneous materials having respective different color tones. The base portion is formed with a predetermined thickness, while the decorative spot portions are integrally embedded within and/or exposed on at least one of front and back surfaces of the base portion in a predetermined pattern of local arrangement.
