Disclosed is an assembly arrangement system, comprising a feeding unit, a conveyor unit and an assembling unit. The feeding unit comprises a supplying part and a cutting part. The supplying part is provided with a prepreg and configured to supply the prepreg to the cutting part. The cutting part cuts the prepreg to continuously form one or more prepreg sheets. The conveyor unit receives and conveys the prepreg sheet. The assembling unit comprises a metal foil supplying part, a first assembling part and a second assembling part. The second assembling part assembles a plate and a metal foil from the metal foil supplying part with the prepreg sheet from the conveyor unit into an assembly, and the first assembling part bears the assembly. Also provided is an assembly manufacturing method.

The present disclosure relates to plaster boards and methods for making them. For example, one aspect of the disclosure is a plaster board comprising one or more continuous layers of material disposed within a body of hardened plaster material, the first side and second side of each continuous layer of material being substantially covered by the hardened plaster material. In certain such embodiments, each continuous layer of material includes a polymer (e.g., a damping polymer) disposed on a carrier sheet. Another aspect of the disclosure relates to a method for making a plaster board that involves drying a wet body of plaster material while a continuous layer of material or precursor therefor is disposed within it.

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.

A heat dissipation sheet includes a first sheet composed of a plurality of first carbon nanotubes, and a second sheet composed of a plurality of second carbon nanotubes, wherein the first sheet and the second sheet are coupled in a stacked state, and the first carbon nanotubes and the second carbon nanotubes are different in an amount of deformation when pressure is applied.

Surface elements comprising a decorative upper layer and a supporting core are disclosed. In such surface elements the decorative upper layer can comprise a digitally applied wood grain pattern made up of at least four colors, said pattern being applied to an underlying white ground coating provided on said supporting core, said pattern comprising at least one of visually simulated knots, cracks, flaws and grain. In such surface elements the decorative upper layer can further comprise an at least partly translucent wear layer arranged over said pattern, said wear layer consisting of a cured substance comprising silicon oxide. In such surface elements the decorative upper layer can further be provided with a surface structure increasing the realism of said wood grain pattern, being directed in accordance with the direction of said pattern and being in the form of narrow elongated recesses simulating the pores of wood.
