Interior trim for vehicles, specifically of the type comprising a sandwich structure, where the electrical conductors are integrated by printing with conductive inks, specifically by screen printing, allowing to make compatible the manufacturing method for the interior trim and the printing method for the electrical conductors, while also facilitating the electrical connections through the edges of the trim of the electrical conductors and the electric devices assembled in the interior trim and ensuring the correct operation of the electrical conductors throughout the useful lifetime of the interior trim. The invention also relates to a method for manufacturing an interior trim for vehicles with electrical conductors.

A low-weight carpet tile and process for making the same, wherein the carpet tile comprises a facecloth having a plurality of face yarns tufted through a primary backing, an extruded polymer secondary backing layer, and a reinforcing scrim layer partially embedded within the extruded polymer secondary backing layer. The top surface and bottom surface of the carpet tile are defined by the facecloth and the reinforcing scrim layer, respectively. A polymer-based resin is extruded onto the facecloth to form an at least substantially uniform secondary backing layer, and the reinforcing scrim layer is laid onto the extruded polymer secondary backing layer while the extruded polymer secondary backing layer remains above a softening temperature for the resin. The entire multi-layer web is then passed through a nip to embed the reinforcing scrim layer into the extruded polymer secondary layer, and the entire web is chilled.

Provided is a thermally conductive sheet having high thermal conductivity not only in a thickness direction of the sheet but also in one direction along a plane direction of the sheet. The thermally conductive sheet is a thermally conductive sheet containing a scaly filler 12 in a polymer matrix 11, wherein the scaly filler 12 is oriented such that a long axis direction of a scale surface is along one of a first direction that is a thickness direction of the thermally conductive sheet and a second direction that is perpendicular to the first direction, and a transverse axis direction that is perpendicular to the long axis direction in the scale surface is along the other of the first direction and the second direction.

A laminator is configured for increasing the force of adhesion between an electrode and a separator upon forming a unit structural body. The laminator is configured for heating a unit structural body sheet that includes an electrode and a separator in a stacked state and a press roll having a pair of upper and lower rolls configured to press the heated unit structural body sheet. The press roll is configured to raise its temperature. The average temperature of the press roll is higher than the temperature of the unit structural body sheet.

A method of forming a building material device utilizing a vehicle tire where the vehicle tire is split into three portions. Two of the vehicle portions are recombined into a subunit which is capable of holding the third portion within a chamber. The subunit containing the second portion is then combined with panels to form a finished unit capable of being used in a building structure.

A multipurpose interlockable board system comprising a plurality of identical boards interlockable in a coplanar arrangement in which laterally adjacent boards are generally coplanar for selectively forming a flat covering and in an orthogonal arrangement in which laterally adjacent boards are generally perpendicular for selectively forming a hollow section, and the boards interlockable end-to-end to lengthen the flat covering and the hollow section selectively formed by the boards.

Systems and methods facilitate automated manufacture of fabric articles. In an example operation, a first fabric portion is mounted in a first frame, and a second fabric portion is mounted in a second frame. The first and second frames with the corresponding fabric portions are transported to a sequence of stations at which one or more operations are performed on the first and/or second fabric portion. The operations include applying an adhesive to one of the fabric portions, and then joining the first and second fabric portions by bringing the first and second frames together. The operations include cutting the joined first and second fabric portions to create corresponding joined first and second components of a fabric article.

This document discloses antistatic shoe insoles that include a flexible foam layer and antistatic filaments of textile material interspersed throughout the foam layer and extending passed or exposed at the surface of the shoe insole and methods of making such an antistatic shoe insole. The antistatic filaments are needle punched through the foam layer. The antistatic filaments may be any suitable antistatic material blended with any felt fiber such as wool fiber, cotton fiber, polyester fiber, or the like.

A system for cutting a web material and applying the web material on a substrate. The system comprises a feed roll configured to advance a web material. The system includes an anvil roll configured to receive the web material from the feed roll and provide a section of web material having a defined length. The system includes a cutting element configured to cut the web material to form the section of web material. The anvil roll is configured such that the anvil roll surface advances at an anvil roll surface speed. The feed roll is configured to rotate at a first feed roll surface speed that is slower than the anvil roll surface speed and a second feed roll surface speed that is substantially the same as the anvil roll surface speed when the cutting element cuts the web material.

According to one embodiment, an insulation blanket for insulating a structure includes a first facer layer and a second facer layer. A plurality of intermeshed non-woven glass fibers are disposed between the first and second facer layers and a fumed silica insulating powder is also disposed between the first and second facer layers. The fumed silica insulating powder has an average particle size of between about 2 and 20 nanometers. The insulation blanket includes at least one exposed edge having a cauterized face that forms a barrier on the exposed edge to encase the fumed silica insulating powder within the interior of the insulation blanket, which minimizes degradation of the insulating value due to loss or shedding of the fumed silica insulating powder through the exposed edge. The cauterized edge has a depth of cauterized material of between about 0.05 mm and 3 mm.
