Provided herein are a fabric-based substrate and an organic electronic device including the same. The fabric-based substrate includes a fabric layer having an upper surface and a lower surface. A plurality of electrodes are disposed on the upper surface of the fabric layer. An adhesive layer is provided on the upper surface and the lower surface of the fabric layer and filled at least some empty regions between the electrodes and the fabric layer, between the electrodes, and at least some pores in the fabric layer. A self-healing polymer layer is disposed on the adhesive layer located on the lower surface of the fabric layer.

A method for producing a composite pane, includes arranging a functional element in a recess of a thermoplastic frame film, arranging the thermoplastic frame film along with the functional element between a first glass pane and a second glass pane to form a layer stack, and subsequent joining of the layer stack by lamination to form a composite pane. The thermoplastic frame film and the functional element have a different thickness and the different thickness is at least partially compensated by at least one thermoplastic compensating film, whose thickness is less than twice as large as the difference between the thicknesses of the thermoplastic frame film and the functional element such that the maximum offset in the layer stack is less than the difference between the thicknesses of the thermoplastic frame film and the functional element.

A polyvinyl acetal resin film, having an average surface roughness Rz of at least one surface of 3.0 μm or less; a birefringence Δn of 3.0×10.sup.−4 or less; and an average thickness of 200 μm or less.

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.

The invention concerns a trim element for a motor vehicle comprising at least one glass sheet having an absorption coefficient lower than 5 m.sup.1 in the wavelength range from 1051 nm to 1650 nm and having an external and an internal faces. According to the present invention, an infrared-based remote sensing device in the wavelength range from 1051 nm to 1650 nm, is placed behind the internal face of the glass sheet.

A method for producing a metal composite material with an embedded functional structure, in which a build-up of layers comprising a number of layers that are arranged one on top of the other in the vertical direction is produced and pressed, may involve producing the build-up of layers by providing a lower layer comprising a metal substrate, arranging at least in certain portions over the lower layer in a vertical direction an intermediate layer that is in contact with the lower layer, and arranging one or more functional structures respectively in a portion of the build-up of layers. To reduce the risk of increased degradation, before the pressing, the build-up of layers may have the same thickness in the respective portion with the functional structure as in the remaining build-up of layers. Further, a metal composite material with an embedded functional structure may be produced by such a method.

The present invention relates to a process for the production of composite elements comprising a first and a second outer layer, a vacuum insulation panel between the two outer layers, rigid polyurethane foam in contact with the first outer layer and the underside of the vacuum insulation panel, and also rigid polyurethane foam in contact with the second outer layer and the upper side of the vacuum insulation panel, comprising application of a reaction mixture (R1) for the production of a rigid polyurethane foam onto the first outer layer, bringing the lower side of a vacuum insulation panel into contact with the unhardened reaction mixture (R1), application of a reaction mixture (R2) for the production of a rigid polyurethane foam to the upper side of the vacuum insulation panel, bringing the second outer layer into contact with the layer of the unhardened reaction mixture (R2), and finally hardening of the two rigid polyurethane foam systems (R1) and (R2) to give the composite element. The present invention further relates to composite elements thus obtainable, and also to the use of a composite element of the invention or of a composite element obtainable by a process of the invention, as component for refrigeration equipment or as construction material.

A laminated glass, includes an outer pane, an inner pane, at least two lamination layers arranged between the outer pane and the inner pane, and at least one design element, wherein the design element is formed on a partial region of a pane side of the outer pane or the inner pane from a pictorial black print having one or a plurality of unprinted regions, and an opaque, non-black underlay is arranged between the two lamination layers, which underlay is placed underneath the unprinted region(s) of the design element. The laminated glass has a design element with good contrast and good visibility and is suitable in particular as a vehicle window.

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.
