The present application relates to athletic field covers with wind-refracting layer.

Provided are a magnetic field shield sheet for a wireless charger, a method of manufacturing the sheet, and a receiver for the wireless charger by using the sheet. The sheet includes at least one layer thin magnetic sheet made of an amorphous ribbon separated into a plurality of fine pieces; a protective film that is adhered on one surface of the thin magnetic sheet via a first adhesive layer provided on one side of the protective film; and a double-sided tape that is adhered on the other surface of the thin magnetic sheet via a second adhesive layer provided on one side of the double-sided adhesive tape, wherein gaps among the plurality of fine pieces are filled by some parts of the first and second adhesive layers, to thereby isolate the plurality of fine pieces.

A fiber-reinforced thermoplastic laminate is disclosed that comprises continuous reinforcing fiber. The laminate is custom designed and fabricated to be molded into a specific article of manufacture. The laminate comprises a plurality of thermoplastic patches that are disjoint and some of which partially overlap.

In a method of forming a foamed PVC board, a foamed PVC core is formed to have about 1% to about 40% fly ash by weight for adhesion enhancement. Film is laminated to the foamed PVC core with an adhesive between the foamed PVC core and the film. The fly ash in the PVC core enhances the adhesion between the foamed PVC core and the film 120 is increased and resists delamination of the film. A PVC board includes a foamed PVC core, an adhesive, and a film. The foamed PVC core has about 1% to about 40% fly ash by weight for enhanced adhesion between the film and the foamed PVC core. The film is laminated to the foamed PVC core with the adhesive between the foamed PVC core and the film.

A fiber-reinforced thermoplastic laminate is disclosed that comprises continuous reinforcing fiber. The laminate is custom designed and fabricated to be molded into a specific article of manufacture. Some or all of the continuous reinforcing fiber are severed at precise locations based on the geometric and physical requirements of the article of manufacture to facilitate molding while preserving most of the strength provided by continuous reinforcing fiber.

An inlay for a transaction card includes a weighted member and a surround positioned around a perimeter of the weighted member. A first film is positioned on a first surface of the weighted member and a first surface of the surround and a second film is positioned on a second surface of the weighted member and a second surface of the surround.

Provided is a thermal conducting sheet, including: a binder resin; insulating-coated carbon fibers; and a thermal conducting filler other than the insulating-coated carbon fibers, wherein the insulating-coated carbon fibers include carbon fibers and a coating film over at least a part of a surface of the carbon fibers, the coating film being formed of a cured product of a polymerizable material.

A transaction card includes at least one metal layer having one or more apertures therein. A light guide is disposed beneath the metal layer. The light guide has a light output and a light input. The light output is positioned to transmit light through at least the one or more apertures of the metal layer. At least one LED is positioned to transmit light into the light guide light input

Provided is a thermal conducting sheet, including: a binder resin; insulating-coated carbon fibers; and a thermal conducting filler other than the insulating-coated carbon fibers, wherein the insulating-coated carbon fibers include carbon fibers and a coating film over at least a part of a surface of the carbon fibers, the coating film being formed of a cured product of a polymerizable material.

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.
