According to some embodiments, a railcar comprises at least two hoppers for transporting a commodity. Each hopper comprises a pair of side walls and a floor. The railcar further comprises a composite partition separating the hoppers. The composite partition comprises a frame comprising a first material coupled to the pair of side walls and the floor at a location separating hoppers. The frame comprises a center opening. The frame is configured to provide structural support for structural loads exerted on the pair of side walls and the floor. The composite partition further comprises a composite section comprising a second material coupled to the frame and covering the central opening of the frame. The composite section is configured to withstand loads exerted on the composite section by the commodity transported in the hoppers.

A stitched multi-axial reinforcement and a method of producing a stitched multi-axial reinforcement. The stitched multi-axial reinforcement may be used in all such applications that reinforcements are generally needed and especially in such applications where either Vacuum Infusion technology or Resin Transfer Molding (RTM) technology for distributing the resin in the mold is used. The stitched multi-axial reinforcement is especially applicable in the manufacture of wind turbine blades, boats, sporting equipment, storage tanks, bus, trailer, train and truck panels, etc., and generally in all such structures that are subjected to stress in more than one direction.

Provided is a film that has high-quality low gloss appearance with a small change in appearance of texture as observed at various viewing angles and that has tactile texture. Solution means A film of an embodiment is a film including a surface layer embossed, wherein the surface layer includes a low gloss layer and a gloss printed pattern partially covering the low gloss layer, (1) 85-degree surface glossiness of the surface layer is less than or equal to 3.5 GU as an in-plane average value; (2) Δ85-degree surface glossiness defined by a difference between an in-plane maximum value of the 85-degree surface glossiness and the in-plane average value of the 85-degree surface glossiness of the surface layer (= in-plane maximum value of 85-degree surface glossiness - in-plane average value of 85-degree surface glossiness) is from 0.2 to 2.5, and (3) surface roughness Ra of an embossed surface of the film is greater than or equal to 3.5 .Math.m.

A laminate including at least layers A to C in this order, wherein an integrated value from 0 mm to 50 mm of displacement calculated from a load-displacement diagram obtained by carrying out a tensile property test method is 1.0 Nm (=J) or more; and an adhesive strength between the layer B and the layer C is 10 N/25 mm or more.

The present invention relates to a self-adhesive article comprising a non-random fabric of bundles of carbon fibres and a thermosetting epoxy resin composition. The self-adhesive article exhibits high surface adhesion and excellent dimensional stability at room temperature. The self-adhesive article is ideally suited to reinforce structural components, particularly vehicles or ancillary vehicle components. The structural components reinforced by the self-adhesive article exhibit improved impact and torsional strength.

Disclosed is railway vehicle coach, including a chassis and a bogie arranged below the chassis in a vertical direction. The coach includes a thermally insulating screen, arranged between the chassis and the bogie, above the bogie in the vertical direction.

The present disclosure relates to: a communication technique for converging an IoT technology with a 5G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate beyond a 4G system; and a system therefor. Specifically, the present invention provides a glass structure comprising: a glass formed to be permeable to radio waves; and a lens disposed on one side of the glass so as to change the incident angle of radio waves incident to the one side of the glass.

The present invention relates to a sandwich panel and a method of manufacturing the same. The sandwich panel according to the present invention has high density and improved physical properties such as flexural strength, flexural modulus, bending strength and lightening weighting ratio and is suitable for use in various consumer products or industrial materials.

An electrically heatable laminated automotive glazing unit including an exterior glass sheet that is curved and tempered and a thin glass interior sheet that is also tempered, these sheets being joined by means of a thermoplastic interlayer sheet. The glazing unit is configured to receive mechanical moving and/or fastening means and a portion of the exterior sheet is not covered by the thin interior sheet. The glazing unit is fastened in the zone not covered by the thin sheet, and the glazing unit includes at least one electrically heatable zone comprising (i) a substantially transparent, electrically conductive coating layer and (ii) spaced busbars adapted to supply electrical voltage across the substantially transparent, electrically conductive coating layer. The spaced busbars are placed in the portion of the exterior sheet which is not covered by the thin interior sheet.

A spacer structure for a sandwich construction, formed from a material web which is provided with a plurality of cuts and which has a material web plane as a first plane, wherein, by forming the material web, at least one support platform is formed in portions which is spaced at a distance from the first plane and is arranged in a second plane. Spacing elements run along a direction of extent (Ε) from the first plane into the second plane in the transition zone from the first plane into the second plane and thus the spacing elements space the first plane apart from the support platform, the spacing elements having a twist about the direction of extent thereof along the direction of extent thereof (Ε), the twist being formed by the shaping of the material web being performed as bending.
