A pet training pad includes a central absorbent pad on top of a waterproof bottom layer. The waterproof bottom layer covers one side of the central absorbent pad. The pet training pad also includes a wicking material around a periphery of the central absorbent pad and/or one or more fringe barriers around a periphery of the central absorbent pad. A pet training pad manufacturing method involves cutting a bottom waterproof plastic layer, placing die-cut absorbent layers on the bottom plastic layer and laminating or adhering the absorbent layers to the bottom waterproof plastic layer to keep the absorbent layers together and positioned, layering roll cut first fringe borders and wicking edges on the bottom waterproof plastic layer around borders of the absorbent layers and securing them in place, and cutting to create a final shape.

Disclosed is a laminate having a carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic resin woven layer (X) and a thermoplastic resin foam layer (Y) layered in the order of layer (X)/layer (Y)/layer (X), wherein the fabric contains unidirectional fiber reinforced resin sheets as warp and weft, the unidirectional fiber reinforced resin sheet containing continuous carbon fibers and a thermoplastic resin, and the carbon fibers are aligned in a longitudinal direction of the unidirectional fiber reinforced resin sheet, and the ratio (y/x) of the thickness (y) of the layer (Y) and the thickness (x) of the layer (X) is 3-40, and the density of the layer (Y) is 0.2-0.6 g/cc. Also disclosed are: a three-dimensional molded laminate in which a three-dimensional shape is given to said laminate; and a method for producing a three-dimensional molded laminate.

The present invention relates to a modified polyvinyl butyral material, comprising a polyvinyl butyral composite material, a filler, an anti-hydrolysis agent, a first plasticizer, zinc stearate, calcium stearate, and a polymeric dispersant; wherein the polyvinyl butyral composite material is obtained by plasticizing a composition comprising polyvinyl butyral and a second plasticizer. The present invention also relates to a preparation method of the modified polyvinyl butyral material, a modified polyvinyl butyral product comprising at least one modified polyvinyl butyral layer prepared from a material comprising the modified polyvinyl butyral material, and the preparation method of the modified polyvinyl butyral product.

A nonwoven cellulose fiber fabric, in particular directly manufactured from lyocell spinning solution, wherein the fabric comprises a network of substantially endless fibers, and wherein the fibers are homogeneously merged substantially over the entire fabric.

A glass chair mat having a substantially planar sheet of tempered glass. The tempered glass has a thickness of between ⅛ to 1 inch, and an area of the glass chair mat is selected to cover an area that is greater than an area between the legs of the office chair, such that all legs of the office chair can rest upon the glass chair mat at the same time. The glass chair may further includes a printed layer disposed over at least part of the glass chair mat. In one embodiment, the glass chair mat of includes a printed layer that is formed by digital UV printing. In another embodiment, the glass chair mat of includes a printed layer that is formed by digital ceramic printing.

A structural reinforced composite construction mat includes a plurality of composite plastic beams that are ganged together to define the mat, with a plurality of flitch plates disposed between at least some of the plastic beams to provide additional strength and rigidity to the mat. The plastic beams may be made of a composite material have a generally rectangular cross-section. The flitch plates have a width (vertical height) when disposed between adjacent beams that is less than the width (vertical height) of the beams, such that the flitch plates may be recessed below and above the top and bottom surfaces of the mat, respectively. A plurality of rods extend in the lateral direction through the beams and plates to compress the beams and plates against each. The flitch plates may be metal or fiber-reinforced resin and may further include slotted holes to allow the beams to retract lengthwise in response to environmental changes.

An article of manufacture, such as a weighted blanket, a cushioning element, or the like, includes an elastomeric element that includes elongated elements that follow nonlinear, partially overlapping paths and voids between adjacent portions of the elongated elements. Such an elastomeric element may define a weighted layer of a weighted blanket, a cushioning layer of a cushioning element of the like. The elastomeric element may be secured directly to a substrate, such as a fabric layer. Alternatively, an adhesion layer may secure the elastomeric element to the substrate. An adhesion layer may cover only a portion of the substrate. A cover may be provided over the elastomeric element. Together, the cover and the substrate may contain the elastomeric element.

The invention concerns a mat system comprising a plurality of individual mats, each with a top side, a bottom side, and at least one rectilinear side edge. The rectilinear side edges each have at least one undercut recess, corresponding to connecting means which enable, by engagement of each one of their halves in an undercut recess, a connecting of two mats along their rectilinear side edges. The individual mats and the connecting means each comprise at least one layer of foam material. In order to equal out even large tolerances in the orienting of the individual mats to each other, the connecting means each comprise two interconnected circular segment regions with a radius R, R′, wherein for the spacing A of the centre points of the circular segment regions the following relation applies: (I) 0.8*(R+R′)<A<1.3*(R+R′).

A floor panel includes a core and decorative layer applied thereon, such that the material of the aforementioned core has a density of more than 1000 kg/m.sup.3, preferably more than 1300 kg/m.sup.3, and has a thickness of 6 millimeters or more. The core has internal spaces and/or that the core has spaces on its bottom side. A method for manufacturing such floor panels is provided according to the aforementioned floor panel.
