Provided is a dental cord using a nanofiber multiple yarn having a large specific surface area and a large number of three-dimensional pores, thereby effectively impregnating a drug such as a hemostatic agent, and a method of manufacturing the dental cord. The dental cord includes: a nanofiber multiple yarn which is obtained by plying and twisting at least two nanofiber tape yarns and which is impregnated with a drug, wherein the at least two nanofiber tape yarns are integrated by nanofibers made of fiber moldability polymer materials and having an average diameter of less than 1 μm, to thus be formed of a nanofiber web having three-dimensional micropores.

A laminated surface covering including a facing material made of vinyl and a backing material comprising a rubber component. The rubber component comprising at least a matrix of bonded rubber granules. A bonding material disposed between the facing material and the backing material. The facing material configured to melt at a temperature between 165° F. and 248° F. infiltrating the backing material thereby essentially encasing the rubber granules of the matrix and providing fire retardation and smoke suppression qualities.

A method for producing a floorboard having a topside veneer includes forming a multilayer body which includes a starting carrier plate, a plurality of veneers placed on the starting carrier plate so that a gap is formed between neighboring ones of the veneers, a resin layer including a resin provided between the starting carrier plate and the veneers, and a balancing layer arranged on a bottom side of the starting carrier plate; joining the starting carrier plate, the resin layer, the veneers and the balancing layer by pressing the multilayer body in a press; separating the multilayer body into individual boards between the neighboring veneers in a region of the gap; profiling the individual boards at side borders of the boards; and providing the individual boards with joining means.

A method for producing a multi-layered absorbent article is disclosed. At least two of the layers include a colored region.

A feeder provided with multiple types of tape peeling units, which are based on the type of carrier tape to be fed by the feeder, that are detachably attached to a tip section of the feeder; a cutter member, which is provided on the multiple types of tape peeling units, that peels one edge of cover tape of the carrier tape to reveal a component stored in a storage section; an identification mark provided on the multiple types of tape peeling units; an identification sensor, which is provided on main body of the feeder, that identifies the identification mark; and a comparing device that compares information recognized by the identification sensor and information of the component stored in the carrier tape.

A device for stacking a plurality of partially connected labels into a plurality of partially connected pads of labels comprises a robot arm having at least one vacuum source configured to selectively supply a vacuum force. The device also includes a plate coupled to the robot arm and a flexible pad coupled to the plate and including a plurality of apertures configured to direct the majority of the vacuum force through the flexible pad to a surface of the plurality of partially connected labels.

An ultrasonic bonding device includes a processing member, a biasing member, a first moving unit and a second moving unit. The biasing member biases a pair of separators to the ultrasonic horn. A first moving unit separates the ultrasonic horn and the biasing member from each other with respect to a transport path of the separators. A second moving unit moves the separators and positions a bonding portion of the separators between the ultrasonic horn and the biasing member. The first moving unit has a coupling cam rotationally driven by a driving unit, a first connecting portion coupling the coupling cam and the processing member, and a second connecting portion coupling the coupling cam and the biasing member, and separating the processing member and the biasing member from each other with respect to the transport path by rotation of the coupling cam.

A fishing rod that includes an elongated, tapered rod blank at least a portion of which is quadrilateral in cross section, the quadrilateral portion of the rod blank diminishing in cross-sectional area toward a tip end of the rod blank, the quadrilateral portion of the rod blank comprising a sandwich-structured composite of a core disposed between facings, the core less dense than the facings, the quadrilateral portion of rod blank less stiff in a casting direction than transverse to the casting direction; fishing line guides mounted at intervals along the length of the rod blank; a reel seat mounted at the base end of the rod blank; and a handle mounted at the base end of the rod blank adjacent to the reel seat.
