This disclosure relates generally to an assembly and process for preparing affixing tape. The disclosure also relates to an affixing assembly and process using the prepared tape. The tape can be used, for example, to affix plastic items to mailing pieces. The assemblies and processes disclosed herein provide for added throughput, less down time, higher quality of parts and production control.

A method of manufacturing a timber composite (7) is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of applying adhesive to one or more timber layers (23-226), applying pressure to the one or more timber layers, and heating the timber layers. The adhesive penetrates into the one or more timber layers and cures to form the timber composite (7). One or more spacers (332) may be positioned between the timber layers. The invention also related to timber composite (7) obtainable by such method and to decorative panels (1) comprising such timber composite (7) as a top layer.

A method includes dicing a wafer to form discrete components; transferring the discrete components onto a transparent carrier, including adhering the discrete component to a carrier release layer on the transparent carrier; and releasing one of the discrete components from the transparent carrier, the one of the discrete components being deposited onto a device substrate after the releasing.

Disclosed are a laminate having two or more layers formed from at least one primary sheet, the at least one primary sheet containing a resin and a particulate carbon material with a content of the particulate carbon material being 50% by mass or less, and the at least one primary sheet having a tensile strength of 1.5 MPa or less, a method of producing the same, a secondary sheet that contains a resin and a particulate carbon material with a content of the particulate carbon material being 50% by mass or less, where the particulate carbon material is aligned in the thickness direction, and that has a curl index of 0.33 or less, and a method of producing the secondary sheet.

A composite switchable pane array, having: a first pane; a second pane, and an intermediate layer arranged therebetween, wherein the intermediate layer has at least one first thermoplastic polymer film and one second thermoplastic polymer film, and an SPD film arranged therebetween; and an edge sealing arranged in the outer edge region of the intermediate layer, containing a polyimide (PI) and/or polyisobutylene (PIB).

Disclosed are a heat conductive sheet including a resin and a particulate carbon material, and having an Asker C hardness at 25 C. of 60 or more and a thermal resistance value under a pressure of 0.5 MPa of 0.20 C./W or less, a method of producing a heat conductive sheet, and a heat dissipation device including the heat conductive sheet interposed between a heat source and a heat radiator.

The present disclosure relates to a foldable honeycomb structure widely used as an industrial material, a landscape material, and a building material, and a manufacturing method therefor. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to a foldable honeycomb structure and a manufacturing method therefor, wherein a foldable honeycomb structure capable of being folded and unfolded is easily produced using a readily foldable film or sheet made of a plastic material, paper, a metal material, or a non-metal material, instead of prior art molding or extrusion methods.

An acoustic system is disclosed. The acoustic system includes a sound absorptive substrate, and a rigid polyester shell configured to be positioned over the sound absorptive substrate. The rigid polyester shell is configured to be mounted on an interior surface of a building such that at least some sound waves pass through the rigid polyester shell. The shell is configured to provide aesthetic features to the acoustic system.

A fabric (30) includes a first flexible fabric layer (32), having fabric emissivity properties in a visible radiation range that are selected so as to mimic ambient emissivity properties of a deployment environment of the fabric, and at least one second flexible fabric layer (34), which is joined to the first flexible fabric layer, and which is configured to scatter long-wave radiation that is incident on the fabric. The first and second flexible fabric layers are perforated by a non-uniform pattern of perforations (44) extending over at least a part of the fabric.

An integral multilayer joint seal. Layers of foam, layered co-planar to the adjacent surface, are interspersed with a barrier layer which extends beyond the foam layers to provide a protective surface, a surface for attachment atop adjacent substrates, or a connecting tab for use with adjacent joint seals. The foam layers may be uncompressed or partially compressed at the time of joint formation and may be composed of open or closed, or hybrid, cell foam. The foam may be impregnated with a fire retardant or may be composed of a fire retardant material, if desired. The barrier may have a tensile strength greater than the adjacent foam. The joint seal may have an elastomer, such as silicone, at its top and/or bottom, and may even include an elastomer layer within or about the barrier.
