A method of installing a roof system includes providing a first membrane composite; adhesively securing the first membrane composite to a roof surface through a UV-cured pressure-sensitive adhesive layer; providing a second membrane composite; adhesively securing the second membrane composite to the roof surface through a UV-cured pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, where the second membrane composite is positioned adjacent to and partially overlapping a lap area of the first membrane composite; and adhesively securing the second membrane composite to a first planar surface of the first membrane composite along a primer layer through the UV-cured pressure-sensitive adhesive layer disposed on the second membrane composite.

The present invention is directed to an acoustic ceiling panel having a first major exposed surface opposite a second major exposed surface, the acoustic ceiling panel comprising: a first layer having an upper surface opposite a lower surface, the first layer comprising: a first body comprising a first major surface opposite a second major surface and a side surface extending between the first and second major surfaces, the first body being air-permeable; and a first attenuation coating applied to the first body; a second layer having an upper surface opposite a lower surface, the second layer comprising: a second body comprising a first major surface opposite a second major surface and a side surface extending between the first and second major surfaces, the second body being air-permeable; and a second attenuation coating applied to the second body; and an adhesive present between the first and second layers.

A method for reinforcing a concrete structure so as to have high substrate visibility and sufficient reinforcing performance. A fiber sheet for reinforcing a concrete structure, the sheet including: a framework in which a filament-based, multi-axial mesh sheet and a matrix resin are integrated, wherein the multi-axial mesh sheet has a base weight amount in a range of 500 g/m.sup.2 to 1000 g/m.sup.2.

A light-emitting carpet or light-emitting trim panel that employs a translucent polymer sheet that has a protective layer and a plurality of cavities configured to accept a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) arranged to generate light where the LEDs are configured to align and project into the polymeric sheet cavities.

A three dimensional tape that may be used as a top sheet and a backsheet for a sanitary product, particularly a baby diaper or a sanitary pad. The three dimensional tape allows manufacturing of comparatively thinner, fluffless sanitary products with an improved comfort for the user. Manufacturing of the tape may be accomplished in-line, thereby dispensing with all of the logistics burden from outsourced products, and all of the environmental impact the logistics come with.

A sheet-like textile is used for a controlled expansion of an expansion element on a structural element in a vehicle body. The sheet-like textile is covered with an expandable material on both sides. The expansion of the expansion element in a direction perpendicular to the sheet-like textile is at least 15% greater than what it would be for an expansion element without a sheet-like textile.

A floor, wall or ceiling panel comprises a core and a decorative top layer provided on the core. The core comprises a magnesium oxide-based board material, and wherein the aforementioned panel, on at least two opposite edges, is provided with coupling means allowing that two of such panels can be interlocked at the respective edges.

An article including a composite including a subsurface structure and a second phase of material forming a coating on the subsurface structure. The coating includes a first region defining a first plurality of microtextures in an outer surface of the coating, where the first plurality of microtextures include an average bore width of less than about 250 micrometers (μm) and a first average bore depth, and a second region positioned adjacent to the first region wherein the coating defines a second plurality of microtextures on the outer surface of the coating, where the second plurality of microtextures include an average bore width of less than about 250 μm and a second average bore depth less than the first average bore depth.

Sensors, methods of producing sensors, and methods of measuring sensitivities of sensors are disclosed herein. A sensor includes a nanocomposite material having a thermoplastic polyurethane base. A method of producing a sensor includes embedding a plurality of carbon nanotubes into a thermoplastic polyurethane base and diluting a concentration of the plurality of carbon nanotubes embedded into the thermoplastic polyurethane base.
