A layered body includes a first layer with a plurality of first composite sheets, and a second layer with a plurality of second composite sheets in a state of contacting the first layer. The first composite sheets are disposed along an arrangement direction shaped as a curved line so that an end in a first longitudinal direction of one first composite sheet and an end in the first longitudinal direction of an adjacent first composite sheet are close to each other without overlapping in the thickness direction, and so that the first longitudinal directions of the sheets intersect each other. The second composite sheets are disposed along the arrangement direction so that an end in a second longitudinal direction of one second composite sheet and an end in the second longitudinal direction of an adjacent second composite sheet are close to each other without overlapping in the thickness direction.

A hydrogen-filling hose includes reinforcing layers provided coaxially layered between an inner surface layer and an outer surface layer that are coaxially layered. The inner surface layer is formed of a thermoplastic resin and has a gas permeation coefficient of dry hydrogen gas, of 1×10.sup.−8 cc⋅cm/cm.sup.2⋅sec.⋅cmHg or less at 90° C. A flow path formed by the inner surface layer has a diameter of 10 mm or more and 25 mm or less. The reinforcing layers includes four layers or more and eight layers or less, and each of the reinforcing layers has a spiral structure that is formed by spirally winding a metal wire material. Pricking holes extending through the outer surface layer in a thickness direction are dispersedly provided therein.

Articles and insulating systems include a wicking layer, an incompressible insulation layer, and a water scavenging system comprising a superhydrophobic layer in operative communication with one or more water collecting components.

The disclosure provides a cross-linkable polymer composition, a core layer for an information carrying card comprising such cross-linked composition, resulting information carrying card, and methods of making the same. An information carrying card includes a body defining a first cavity and a second cavity. The first cavity has a first area and the second cavity has a second area. The first cavity is continuous with the second cavity and the second area is less than the first area. A circuit element is disposed within the first cavity.

An optical construction includes a lens film and a mask layer. The lens film includes an outermost structured first major surface and an opposing outermost substantially planar second major surface. The first major surface includes a plurality of microlenses arranged along orthogonal first and second directions. The mask layer is disposed on the second major surface of the lens film and includes a first layer including a first metal, a second layer including a second metal and a third layer disposed between the first and second layers. For substantially normally incident light, each of the first and second layers has an optical reflectance of greater than about 5%, the third layer has an optical transmittance of greater than about 70%, and the mask layer has an optical reflectance of less than about 20%. The mask layer defines a plurality of through openings aligned to the microlenses in a one-to-one correspondence.
