A wrappable electrode includes a flexible covering and a lead wire connecting the electrode to a stimulating device. The wrappable electrode further includes an adhesive layer to enable attachment to the skin of a patient and an inert conductive layer to which the lead wire is electrically coupled. The electrode is sized to be wrapped about at least a majority of a circumference of a limb of a patient in proximity to a metal surgically implanted device. The adhesive layer includes a buffered hydrogel. The electrode includes a separate conductive layer to evenly distribute electrical current relative to the metal implanted device, with the electrode serving as an anode and the implanted device serving as a cathode in a CVCES treatment system. The electrode can further include at least one feature to ensure proper placement on the skin of the patient.

A method of producing a gasket in which burrs can be prevented from being formed, and a mold failure can be suppressed, and a gasket are provided. A method of producing a gasket includes: a step S1 of preparing a metal mesh member and expanded graphite; a step S2 of placing the metal mesh member around the expanded graphite in a manner that a long belt-like composite body in which the expanded graphite is enveloped by the metal mesh member is formed; a step S4 of adjusting the shapes of longitudinal end portions of the composite body in a manner that, in the short-side direction of the composite body, the width dimensions of the longitudinal end portions of the composite body are smaller than the width dimension of a longitudinal middle portion of the composite body; a step S5 of spirally winding the composite body in a manner that a tubular body in a multiply wound state in which an axial direction coincides with the short-side direction of the composite body is formed; and a step S6 of compress molding the tubular body in the axial direction of the tubular body.

A non-wicking underlayment board and methods for forming the same. The non-wicking underlayment board includes a foam core formed of closed cell foam with reinforcement layers encapsulated within the foam core. Outer facings formed of mineral coated nonwoven fibers are positioned on opposite faces of the non-wicking underlayment panel. The non-wicking underlayment board is useful for efficient and cost effective installation of barriers and surfaces in water-resistant and waterproof environments.

Provided are: a transparent electroconductive film with good transparency, wherein the transparent electroconductive film has antiblocking properties that can withstand roll-to-roll manufacturing, and white haze on the transparent electroconductive film side is reduced. Also provided is a touch sensor in which the transparent electroconductive film is used. This transparent electroconductive film includes a transparent substrate 1 and a transparent electroconductive film 13 formed on one side of the transparent substrate, wherein the arithmetic mean surface roughness Ra in a 452×595 μm field of view on the surface of the transparent electroconductive film 13 is greater than 0 nm and no more than 10 nm, and the arithmetic mean surface roughness Ra in a 452×595 μm field of view on the surface of the transparent substrate 1 on which the transparent electroconductive film 13 is not formed is greater than 5 nm and less than 100 nm.

A method for making a yoga pad includes a step of preparing a netted base; a step of cutting the netted base into two adhesive units; a step of attaching a foam pad to the netted layer of one of the adhesive layers; and a step of adhering a towel to the C-shaped resilient members of the adhesive layer to form a yoga pad. The C-shaped resilient members are combined with the fibers on the towel in axial direction so that the foam pad is detachably connected to the towel. The fibers of the towel are engaged with the openings of the free ends of the C-shaped resilient members to provide a resistance in lateral direction to the towel which does not easily shift relative to the foam pad.

The anti-slip mat includes a covering layer and a structural layer. The covering layer is formed with a plurality of apertures. The structural layer has a predetermined thickness and has a plurality of through holes extending vertically. The covering layer is disposed on a top face of the structural layer. The apertures communicate the through holes. The structural layer is weaved by a water-proofing fiber to form a three-dimensional structure. Each aperture has an internal diameter smaller than an internal diameter of each through hole.

A chip card substrate is provided, which includes a plurality of layers. The plurality of layers includes a first polymer layer including a first polymer material, a second polymer layer disposed over the first polymer layer and a second polymer material different from the first polymer material. The plurality of layers further includes a third polymer layer disposed over the second polymer layer and including the first polymer material. The second polymer layer includes a plurality of cutouts at an edge of the second polymer layer so that the first polymer material of the first polymer layer and of the third polymer layer form a coupling through the plurality of cutouts.

The method is for manufacturing a tube in which a stretching film is fastened for a length of over one turn on both sides of a tube mesh that is only expandable on a circumference thereof. Each film is also fastened to itself. An expandable tube is formed which is expandable to a circumference allowed by the tube mesh.
