A resealable package assembly is described. The package assembly includes a selectively positionable flap that covers an aperture or enables access through the aperture into the package. The flap and package include provisions for releasably engaging the flap to the package to seal the interior of the package. Provisions for grasping the tab and indicating whether tampering has occurred are also described.

A composite heat transfer member has a plate and a metal cast body covering a surface of the plate, and the plate is made of a carbonaceous material formed of a composite containing graphite particles and graphene aggregates formed by depositing a single layer or multiple layers of graphene.

Methods for making tip bonded formed laminates are made from multiple layers of formed substrates made from films which are bonded together at the tips of their formed protrusions. Tip bonded laminates can be designed with greater resistance to bending, improved resilience to compression, and can be patterned for directionally oriented responses to tensile loads. Also, tip bonded formed laminates made from multiple layers of formed substrates can use their layered structure to provide better aesthetics as well as better physical properties such as improved puncture resistance. Tip bonded formed laminates can be configured with thicker portions and designed patterns, which are appealing to consumers. A tip bonded formed laminate can be made from two or more formed substrates and can be used instead of a single, thick, unformed, substrate, so the laminate can use about the same amount of material, while still providing surprising functional benefits.

The present invention relates to a biaxially oriented polyester reflective film capable of retaining excellent reflection characteristics even after vacuum compression molding and hot press molding by suppressing deformation of an internal porous layer of the reflective film during molding, and a process of producing the same.

Structural panels include a plurality of structural layers adhered together in a laminate, including a plurality of bamboo structural layers and at least one non-bamboo structural layer disposed between a first bamboo structural layer and a second bamboo structural layer of the plurality of bamboo structural layers. The first bamboo structural layer and the second bamboo structural layer of the plurality of bamboo structural layers are spaced apart by the at least one non-bamboo structural layer on opposite sides of a neutral plane extending through a center of the structural panel and parallel to the plurality of bamboo structural layers. Structural sections including wall sections, roof sections, and floor sections include one or more structural panels.
