A structure that forms a visual representation may include a first outer layer, a second outer layer, and an interlayer being disposed between the first outer layer and the second outer layer. The interlayer may have a first side adjacent to the first outer layer and a second side adjacent to the second outer layer. The interlayer includes a plurality of cuts extending from the first side of the interlayer towards the second side of the interlayer. Each of the plurality of cuts may have an angle with respect to a plane formed by a surface of the first side of the interlayer. Each angle for at least a portion of the plurality of cuts is based on one or more pixel values of at least one image that forms the basis of the visual representation.

Apparatuses, systems, and methods are presented for a wrapper for foodstuffs. An elastomeric layer is flexible and substantially planar. A metallic layer is malleable and substantially planar. An adhesive couples the metallic layer to at least a perimeter of the elastomeric layer so that the elastomeric layer, the metallic layer, and the adhesive comprise a food covering for a container and the metallic layer is configured to conform around an edge of the container.

A flexible sound barrier and rigid mounting assembly, and a method of attaching to a vehicle. The sound barrier assembly includes a rigid substrate, and flexible noise barrier and decoupling layers. The decoupling and noise barrier layers are bonded, and an adhesive bonds the decoupling layer to the substrate. The decoupling and noise barrier layers are fixedly held in place by the substrate. The substrate can include slots that fit over mounting studs on the vehicle wall. The noise barrier and decoupling layers can include mounting holes that extend through both layers, where the mounting holes line up with the slots, and fit over the mounting studs. The assembly can be mounted on the mounting studs and stud fasteners can fit through a mounting hole without compressing the noise barrier and decoupling layers and sandwich the rigid substrate surrounding a slot between the stud fastener and the vehicle wall.

A tape having an elongated shape includes a strength-reducing portion, a strength-maintaining portion, a and an opening prevention portion. The strength-reducing portion includes a first slit row and a second slit row parallel to the first slit row. Each slit row includes a plurality of slits and a plurality of non-slit portions that are portions in which the slits are not formed. The plurality of non-slit portions belonging to the first slit row and the plurality of non-slit portions belonging to the second slit row do not overlap each other in a transverse direction of the tape. The opening prevention portion closes ends of the plurality of slits. The strength-reducing portion and the strength-maintaining portion are aligned in the transverse direction of the tape.

The skin (1) comprises at least an outer elastomeric layer (5) with an inner surface and an outer surface and at least one operating element (8A) which is adhered to the inner surface of the outer skin layer (5). The operating element (8A) is intended to be connected to an electric or electronic component to enable to control the operation of this component. In order to indicate the location of the operating element (8A) in the skin (1) with a minimal distortion of the visual appearance of the skin, the operating surface (9) of the operating element (8A) extends in a first area (11) of the visible surface of said skin (1), which first area (11) has a first surface texture which is different from the surface texture of the surrounding area (12) of the visible surface of the skin. Both textures may in particular produce a different gloss and the first area (11) may further be provided with surface relief elements (16, 17).

The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a wind turbine blade, comprising arranging one or more layers of fibre material and a preform in a mould (66), injecting the one or more layers of fibre material and the preform (76) with a curable resin, and curing the resin. The preform (76) is impregnated with a curing promoter such that the concentration of curing promoter varies spatially within the preform.

An insulation panel has an insulation core layer disposed that includes at least a first particulate and a second particulate of a plurality of discrete puffed polysaccharide particulates that defines a plurality of voids within the core layer. The first particulate is at least partially adhered to at least the second particulate at one or more bonded areas without the use of external non-water-soluble adhesives.

This disclosure generally relates to retroreflective articles and methods of making such articles.

A laminated film including: an inner layer which is formed of a linear low density polyethylene resin and is heat-sealable; an outer layer which is laminated on the inner layer; a fragile processed portion which is formed by laser irradiation to the outer layer and has a depth reaching at least an inside of the outer layer and not penetrating the inner layer; and an intermediate layer which is provided between the inner layer and the outer layer, wherein the intermediate layer is an ink layer for reducing a lamination strength between the inner layer and the outer layer, and is formed in a region excluding the fragile processed portion and excluding a periphery of the fragile processed portion in planar view.
