A slot liner for a stator assembly in one embodiment includes a mesh structural member and a coating. The coating is disposed on at least one side of the mesh structural member, and includes a mixture of a filler and a polyimide resin. The filler is a high thermal conductivity electrical insulating (HTCEI) filler, and includes particles of at least one of boron nitride, aluminum nitride, or a diamond material.

A catalytic converter holding mat that is inexpensive, and exhibits an excellent heat insulation capability is provided by utilizing an inexpensive heat insulating material that exhibits an excellent heat insulation capability. The catalytic converter holding mat is provided in a gap between a tubular catalyst carrier and a casing that houses the catalyst carrier, and includes a retaining section that is formed of first inorganic fibers having a thermal shrinkage ratio at 1000 C. of 1% or less, and an insulation section that is disposed adjacent to the retaining section, and formed of second inorganic fibers having a thermal shrinkage ratio at 1000 C. of more than 1%.

A trench-shoring sheeting panel includes a rectangular-shaped polyethylene sheet having opposing primary surfaces and four corners, a planar support structure embedded in the polyethylene sheet, a plurality of hand hold apertures formed in the polyethylene sheet, a plurality of corner holes positioned adjacent to the four corners, and a plurality of protrusions positioned on at least one of the primary surfaces.

In one illustrative embodiment of a coated feeder, a coating is integrated into the structural components of the feeder. The coated feeder may include a base, ridge, and back, which may all be integrally formed with one another. The coating may include an exterior surface opposite concrete. The surface of the coating adjacent the concrete may include at least one tab, at least one linear protrusion, at least one hook, and at least one channel.

Items may be packaged for shipping or storage using additive manufacturing techniques, also known as three dimensional (3-D) printing. Packages made by such processes may be referred to as 3-D printed packages. The 3-D printed packages may be customized based on one or more items contained in the package, a recipient of the package, a sender of the package, and/or a destination location of the package. The customizations may include two-dimensional and/or three-dimensional customizations on an interior and/or exterior of the 3-D printed packages.

A meshwork has a layer forming a mesh, the mesh layer being disposed between parallel tension ribbons which are opposite one another in pairs. The tension ribbons have a thermoplastic bonding layer on the side facing the mesh layer and are connected to one another and to the mesh layer via the bonding layer. The mesh layer takes the form of a plastic net having meshwork webs which are connected to one another in a materially bonded manner and which are stretched and form diamond-shaped meshes, the longitudinal diagonals of which extend transversely to the tension ribbons.

Provided is a fiber-reinforced resin molded body that has continuous voids and includes a carbon fiber nonwoven fabric and a thermosetting resin, in which the continuous voids have a porosity of 50% by volume to 97% by volume, and contact points of discontinuous carbon fibers constituting the carbon fiber nonwoven fabric are immobilized by the thermosetting resin having a substantially spherical shape of 40 m to 300 m in diameter. Also provided is a method of producing a fiber-reinforced resin molded body, the method including the following steps in the order mentioned: the preform forming step of forming a preform including a carbon fiber nonwoven fabric in a molding die; the injection preparation step of forming a closed space in which the preform is arranged; the injection step of injecting a liquid thermosetting resin into the closed space; the porosity adjustment step of allowing the carbon fiber nonwoven fabric to expand in the thickness direction; and the curing step of maintaining the preform at a temperature equal to or higher than a curing temperature of the thermosetting resin. According to this method, a fiber-reinforced resin molded body that includes a carbon fiber nonwoven fabric and a thermosetting resin is simply produced.

Methods and manufactures disclosed herein generally relate to a cannular composite (ITC) structure composed of multiple layers of sealing, reinforcement, sensing, protection, and interspatial injected materials.

A method for manufacturing a composite material vane with a cavity, includes making a core with the shape of the cavity of the vane to be manufactured, the core including a reinforcing structure occupying only part of the volume of the core, the remaining volume of the core being occupied by a material of a fleeting nature, forming a composite material skin around the core, and eliminating the fleeting material to obtain a composite material vane with a cavity reinforced by the reinforcing structure.

A method for forming a composite article such as a vane includes mating a polymeric barrier with a fiber scrim. A first layer is applied to a tool. The mated polymeric barrier and fiber scrim are applied atop the first layer. Multiple further fiber layers are applied atop the mated polymeric barrier and fiber scrim.
