A laminated motor-vehicle windshield includes exterior glass sheet and an interior glass sheet, which sheets are joined together by an interlayer made of a thermoplastic of refractive index m. The windshield is equipped with a through-hole that passes through at least one of the glass sheets and may pass through the interlayer and wherein the hole is filled with an optical device that is suitable for deviating a light beam incident substantially horizontally on that face of the windshield which is exposed to the exterior of the vehicle and for making it converge, substantially without deformation, on an image-capturing device of a camera, such as a CCD or CMOS detector, placed facing that face of the windshield which is turned toward the passenger compartment of the vehicle. The detector is arranged substantially parallelly to the surface of the windshield.

The present application for patent is in the field of projectile-proof panels and devices and more specifically in the field of visually transparent projectile-proof panels which are light weight and suitable for goggles, helmets and other devices which benefit from being light weight.

In manufacturing a pleated stretchable composite member, a first sheet-like nonwoven fabric and a stretched cord-like elastic member (rubber thread, etc.) are positioned on the protruding surface side of a pattern roll, and a hot melt adhesive is intermittently applied to the stretched cord-like elastic member and the first sheet-like nonwoven fabric at locations where the protruding surface of the pattern roll is present, and then the stretched cord-like elastic member and the first sheet-like nonwoven fabric intermittently coated with the adhesive and a second sheet-like nonwoven fabric are integrally adhesively fixed at positions corresponding to locations where the protruding surface of the pattern roll is present. In the stretchable composite member, the valleys of the upward-facing breathers of the top-layer nonwoven sheet and the valleys of the downward-facing breathers of the bottom-layer nonwoven sheet are adhesively fixed via a stretchable elastic members (rubber threads) between the two nonwoven fabric sheets.

The present disclosure relates to stranded elastomeric laminates (including bi-laminates and tri-laminates) comprising beamed elastics and may have inventive Dtex-to-Nonwoven-Basis-Weight-Ratios, Dtex-to-Spacing-Ratios, and/or Void-Area-to-Strand-Area-Ratios. The stranded laminates of the present disclosure may be used for disposable absorbent article components (including pant belts) and may comprise inventive bonding arrangements that yield inventive textures and texture arrangements. When the inventive stranded elastomeric laminates are used for pant belts, the pants may have inventive Application-Forces, Sustained-Fit-Load-Forces, and Sustained-Fit-Unload-Forces. Further, when absorbent articles are packaged under compression at inventive In-Bag-Stack-Heights, the stranded elastomeric laminates of the present disclosure maintain their inventive properties and characteristics, including their inventive textures.

A tag is configured to be inserted into a product. The tag includes a label portion and an insertion portion. The label portion has a first width. The insertion portion extends from the label portion, has a second width that is less than the first width, and has a length. An elongated wire extends along the length of the insertion portion to at least a part of the label portion. The tag has sufficient rigidity to enable a user to hold the label portion and force the insertion portion into the product. In another aspect, a method of attaching a tag to a product is described. The method includes holding the label portion and forcing the insertion portion into the product.

Dry, plied roll paper is transformed into hand wetted roll paper that may be used either dry, or selectively hand wetted using a wetting device. The device is then shaped into a container filled with an anti-bacterial cleaning agent, or other agent, and assembled on the paper ply. The hand wetted paper ply can be used as paper towels or toilet paper for dry and/or wet hygienic cleaning.

A glass article includes a first glass substrate having a No. 1 surface and a No. 2 surface opposite the No. 1 surface, a second glass substrate opposed from the first glass substrate, the second glass substrate having a No. 3 surface that faces towards the No. 2 surface and a No. 4 surface opposite the No. 3 surface, and a display positioned between the first glass substrate and the second glass substrate.

A flexible sensor pad includes a cavity to hold a sensor unit with an attached cable. According to one aspect of the present invention, a light-shielding layer is coupled to a bottom surface of the sensor pad, surrounds the sensor unit, and extends past two sides of the sensor pad. A transparent adhesive layer is coupled to the light-shielding layer and extends past two sides of the light-shielding layer. Another light shielding layer is coupled to a top surface of the sensor pad and covers the sensor unit. The cable divides the sensor pad into a first side and a second side which are mirror images of each other.

The disclosure provides a method for forming a core layer for a plurality of information carrying cards, a resulting core layer, and a resulting information carrying card. A first portion of a crosslinkable polymer composition is dispensed onto the first thermoplastic layer. A second thermoplastic layer having a plurality of through-holes therein is then applied. A second portion of the crosslinkable polymer composition is dispensed into each through-hole. An inlay layer is placed over the polymer composition inside each through-hole. A third portion of the crosslinkable polymer composition is dispensed over each inlay layer. A third thermoplastic layer or a release film is placed over the third portion of the crosslinkable polymer composition to provide a layered structure. Each respective inlay layer is configured to be movable and/or self-center inside each through-hole in the presence of the crosslinkable polymer composition when the layered structure is pressed on a pressure.

A stretchable electronic device is provided. The stretchable electronic device includes a stretchable elastomer polymer base substrate; a plurality of electronic devices; and a plurality of recesses partially extending into the stretchable elastomer polymer base substrate. The stretchable elastomer polymer base substrate includes a plurality of stiffened portions respectively in a plurality of stiffened regions spaced apart by one or more elastomeric portions in one or more elastomeric regions. A respective electronic device of the plurality of electronic devices is at least partially in a respective recess of the plurality of recesses, and is in a respective stiffened region of the plurality of stiffened regions. The respective electronic device in the respective recess is stacked on a respective stiffened portion of the plurality of stiffened portions.
