A method and apparatus for producing elastic laminates wherein a first and a second elastic film are stretched in the transverse direction by respective spreader devices, and are applied on a transfer wheel which—in turn—applies the first and second elastic films on a non-woven web held on the outer cylindrical surface of an anvil wheel.

A method of manufacturing a wind turbine blade shell part is described. Fibre mats and a root end insert are laid up in a mould part in a layup procedure by use of an automated layup system. The fibre mats are laid up by use of a buffer so that the fibre mats may continuously be laid up on the mould surface, also during a cutting procedure. The root end insert is prepared in advance and mounted on a mounting plate. The root end insert is lowered onto the mould by use of the mounting plate and a lowering mechanism. After the wind turbine blade shell has been moulded, the mounting plate is removed.

Unidirectional transparent projectile penetration resistant panel assemblies and bidirectional opaque projectile penetration resistant assemblies and systems and methods of forming and mounting the same relative to underlying support structures.

Laminated articles and layered articles, for example, low alkali glass laminated articles and layered articles useful for, for example, electrochromic devices are described.

A multilayer protective covering can protect a surface from lightning strikes. The covering includes a bottom conductive layer affixed to the surface and having a first opening that is aligned with a grounding connection so that the grounding connection is exposed through first opening and not in contact with the bottom conductive layer. The covering also includes a dielectric layer affixed to the bottom conductive layer and having second opening aligned with the grounding connection so that the grounding connection is exposed through second opening and not in contact with the dielectric layer. The covering additionally includes a top conductive layer affixed to the dielectric layer and covering the grounding connection. The top conductive layer directs electrical current from a lightning strike on the surface to the grounding connection.

A sheet-type aerosol generating article includes at least two aerosol generating sheets each having aerosol generating material and an inductively heatable susceptor The inductively heatable susceptor is positioned between the aerosol generating sheets and each of the aerosol generating sheets has an exposed surface. Methods for manufacturing sheet-type aerosol generating articles are also disclosed.

A smoke evacuation tubing assembly includes a base sheet having an adhesive disposed on a top side thereof. An elongate tubing member is operably coupled with a top side of the base sheet and includes a cross-section with first and second opposing rounded sidewalls and first and second generally planar sidewalls disposed between the first and second opposing rounded sidewalls. A plurality of apertures are defined through the first rounded sidewall. A central axis of each aperture is directed downwardly toward the top side of the base sheet. A cover sheet is operably coupled with the top side of the base sheet and is configured to engage the first generally planar sidewall of the elongate tubing member.

An absorbent has longitudinal and lateral centerlines, first, second, and target regions, the target region being disposed between the first second regions. Each of the first, second target regions extend laterally across the disposable absorbent article. The disposable absorbent article also has a topsheet; a backsheet; an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and backsheet; a fluid management layer disposed between the topsheet and absorbent core; and a target zone disposed in the target region. The target zone has a first plurality of conforming features in at least the absorbent core or a combination of the absorbent core and at least one of the topsheet or fluid management layer. The absorbent article also has a long fiber network.

Disclosed are a corrosion-resistant marine composite steel plate and a manufacturing method therefor. The corrosion-resistant composite steel plate has a two-layer structure, wherein one layer is duplex stainless steel, and the other layer is marine carbon steel; said duplex stainless steel comprises the following components by weight: C≤0.03%, Mn≤2.00%, Si≤1.00%, Cr: 21.0-23.0%, Ni: 4.5-6.5%, Mo: 2.5-3.5%, N: 0.08-0.20%, P≤0.02%, S≤0.025%, and the balance being Fe and inevitable impurities; and said marine carbon steel comprises the following components by weight: 0.03%≤C≤0.13%, Si≤0.50%, Mn: 0.90-1.60%, P≤0.020%, S≤0.025%, Cu≤0.035%, Cr≤0.20%, Ni≤0.40%, Nb: 0.02-0.05%, Ti≤0.02%, Mo≤0.08%, Al≥0.015%, and the balance being Fe and inevitable impurities. A rolled composite steel plate is produced by using a double-barrier vacuum assembly method, so that a reduction in structure weight is achieved while a good structural strength and an excellent corrosion resistance are obtained

A processing method includes, collectively performing laminate processing with a long laminate film on a plurality of continuously conveyed flat cut sheets; cutting the long laminate film after the laminate processing for each flat cut sheet and obtaining a laminated flat cut sheet; and performing post-processing on the laminated flat cut sheet. An end portion of the laminated flat cut sheet as a reference of the post-processing is the end portion on a side where the laminate film does not protrude from the end portion of each laminated flat cut sheet.
