A method for stitchless bonding of fungal materials includes providing a waste-sourced mycelium substrate sourced from fermentation waste streams, selecting a plurality of waste-sourced mycelium substrate portions to be bonded, applying a pressure activated adhesive layer between the selected portions of the waste-sourced mycelium substrate, agglomerating the selected portions of the waste-sourced mycelium substrate and bonding the selected portions of the waste-sourced mycelium materials together to form a durable bond without delamination. Thus, the waste-sourced mycelium substrate is biodegradable which serves as a sustainable alternative to animal leather or synthetic leather in various applications.

A building system including a building panel with insulation, an integrated weather resistant barrier, and sheathing. The insulated building panel increases the energy efficiency of the building system while providing protection against water, air and heat. The insulated building panel is pre-fabricated with the weather resistant barrier for easy installation.

A method for the generation of a gas mixture comprising carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and optionally hydrogen for use in hydroformylation plants or in carbonylation plants, including mixing an optional steam with carbon dioxide in the desired molar ratio, feeding the resulting gas to a solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC) or an SOEC stack at a sufficient temperature for the cell or cell stack to operate while effecting a partial conversion of carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide and optionally of steam to hydrogen, removing some or all the remaining steam from the raw product gas stream by cooling the raw product gas stream and separating the remaining product gas from a liquid, and using said gas mixture containing CO and CO.sub.2 for liquid phase synthesis reactions utilizing carbon monoxide as one of the reactants while recycling CO.sub.2 to the SOEC or SOEC stack.

The present invention relates to a construction element comprising a first and second bamboo layer and having a core layer interposed therebetween, wherein at least one of the first and second bamboo layers are fabricated with a residual stress. The present invention further relates to a method of manufacturing said construction element.

An article includes a substrate including a bonding surface area, a first adhesive disposed on the bonding surface area in a first discrete pattern, the first adhesive comprising a hot melt adhesive, and a second adhesive disposed on the bonding surface area in a second discrete pattern that is complementary to the first discrete pattern, wherein the first discrete pattern comprises about 1% to about 25% of the bonding surface area and the second discrete pattern comprises a balance of the bonding surface area.

The present invention provides a composite board and the method for producing it, wherein the composite board includes a base material layer constituting the core part of the composite board; and a wear layer covering and fixed on the base material layer which includes fixings on its both sides, and when at least two composite boards are connected together, the fixings can be coupled with each other to relatively fix the composite boards. The aforementioned method and techniques can enable composite boards to be as rigid and wear-resistant as a tile and moreover, can reduce the time and labor costs required for the installation of the tiles by applying the base material layer in the installation of composite boards.

The present invention relates to dual textured treatment cleansing articles comprising first and second outer members forming first and second sides of the article. The first and second sides are both textured, although preferably the sides have different textures to provide the user with differing degrees of cleaning in a single cleansing article. For example, in one embodiment, the first side has coefficient of friction greater than 0.50, such as from 0.50 to about 0.75 and more preferably from about 0.55 to about 0.65, and the second side has coefficient of friction less than 0.50, such as from about 0.30 to 0.50 and more preferably from about 0.35 to about 0.45

The disclosed embodiments generally relate to transaction cards and methods for manufacturing transaction cards. The transaction card may include a first card component having a first surface and a first structural feature associated with the first surface. The transaction card may also include a second card component separate from the first card component and attachable thereto. The second card component may include a second surface and a second structural feature associated with the second surface The first and second structural features may be configured to interconnect.

A building panel, which includes a decorative assembly including a glass assembly which includes first and second layers of glass and a clear interlayer between said first and second layers of glass, said glass assembly being compliant with safety code ANSI Z97.1, said glass assembly having opposed first and second surfaces, said first surface of said glass assembly being defined by said first layer of glass and being an outermost surface of said glass assembly, and said second surface of said glass assembly being defined by said second layer of glass; and a decorative sheet having opposed first and second surfaces, said first surface of said decorative sheet being in contact with said second surface of said glass assembly, said decorative sheet being directly attached to said second surface of said glass assembly without an adhesive between said decorative sheet and said second layer of glass; and a protective backing sheet having opposed front and rear surfaces, said front surface being in contact with said second surface of said decorative sheet, and said second surface of said backing sheet being on an opposite side of said backing sheet from a side on which said glass assembly is situated.

A cellular structure may include a plurality of cells each cell of the plurality of cells having a sixteen-cornered cross section. The sixteen-cornered cross section may include sixteen sides and sixteen corners. Each cell may include a plurality of longitudinal walls extending between a top and a bottom of the cell, the longitudinal walls intersecting to create corners of the cell.
