A corrugated cardboard plant comprises at least one device for producing a respective corrugated cardboard web laminated on one side; a lamination web dispensing device; a lamination web printing device disposed downstream of the lamination web dispensing device; and a device, disposed downstream of the lamination web printing assembly, for producing a corrugated cardboard web laminated on two sides from the at least one corrugated cardboard web laminated on one side and from a lamination web. The at least one device for producing a respective corrugated cardboard web laminated on one side is configured and/or disposed in such a manner that the at least one corrugated cardboard web laminated on one side, at least in a manner adjacent upstream of the device for producing a corrugated cardboard web laminated on both sides, has a respective upwardly directed corrugation. The lamination web in the device for producing a corrugated cardboard web laminated on two sides is guided in such a manner that said lamination web therein runs above the at least one corrugated cardboard web laminated on one side.

The laminate comprises a porcelain sheet with a thickness of two to three millimetres, adhered to a base or support sheet made of MDF or particleboard or high density foam or polyethylene or polypropylene or ABS or foamed PVC or methacrylate or a metal sheet of aluminium or steel, using as the adhesion means a two-component polyurethane or a PUR adhesive, producing a laminate that encompasses the advantages of the nature of the two materials, the porcelain and the base, as well as saving material, and being lighter, having higher thermal and acoustic insulation levels, improved resistance to bending loads and allowing to add additional layers, such as a metal sheet of thickness from 0.1 to 1 mm in order to obtain a greater flatness, or a combination with rubber or elastomer layers to improve the acoustic insulation level.

A method for manufacturing a motorcycle tire includes forming a cylindrical raw tire body including a carcass body including a carcass ply and bead cores on the carcass ply, and forming a cylindrical belt ply wound in a cylindrical shape. The forming of the belt ply includes filling the tire body to expand to first expanded phase, winding a sheet-type belt ply by extending the sheet-type belt ply on bell rings to form the cylindrical belt ply with inner surface bonded to the apex of the tire body, filling the tire body to expand the apex of the tire body along with the belt ply to second expanded phase, increasing diameter of an expandable profile deck to expand the apex of the tire body along with the belt ply to third expanded phase, and winding down edges of the belt ply to bond the belt ply to the tire body.

Laminates can comprise a substrate and a film. The film can comprise a film thickness from about 5 micrometers to about 400 micrometers and a tri-block copolymer comprising a first block positioned between two second blocks. The first block can be grafted with a first functional group. The first block can comprise a first glass transition temperature of about 0 C. or less. The two second blocks can each comprise a glass transition temperature of about 50 C. or more. A combined weight of the two second blocks can be from about 10 wt % to about 50 wt % of the tri-block copolymer. The film can comprise a refractive index from about 1.48 to about 1.55. Methods of forming a laminate can comprise disposing a film over a substrate. Methods can further comprise heating the film and the substrate to a first temperature and then a second temperature.

Wood-based composites, and methods for their manufacture, are provided. The composites include oriented wooden strands and cured bonding resin connecting adjacent strands. The composites are relatively low-density, having an average dry density of the wooden composites of about 15-28 pounds per cubic foot (pcf). The unique composition of the composites provide improved structural and insulating (thermal and acoustic) properties when compared to traditional engineered wood products (e.g., oriented strandboard).

Multi-stage composite materials, their preparation, and their uses are described. A composite includes a first layer of a first material contributing to mechanical strength of the composite having a first length, and a second layer of a second material contributing to the mechanical strength of the composite having a second length, wherein the second length is greater than the first length, wherein the second length of the second layer is affixed to the first length of the first layer at both ends of the first and second lengths so that the second layer is spaced apart from the first layer.

A spunbond nonwoven laminate has a first spunbond nonwoven layer having crimped filaments formed by a first component on an outer surface of the filaments of the first layer consisting or substantially consisting of a polyolefin and a second component consisting or substantially consisting of a plastic having a higher melting point than the polyolefin of the first component of the filaments of the first layer. A second outermost spunbond nonwoven layer on the first layer having filaments as a cover layer and formed by a first component on an outer surface of the filaments of the second layer consisting or substantially consisting of a polyolefin, and a second component consisting or substantially consisting of a plastic having a higher melting point than the polyolefin of the first component of the filaments of the second layer.

A system and method for reducing the spread of contamination via tactile interaction with a touch screen display device for a medical imaging system in a clinical environment which includes a series of display device protection procedures each involving unfurling a rolled disposable cover which was stored adjacent to said display device and after removal of liner tape from two opposing ends of the unfurled disposable cover, attaching the same to the display device.
