A process for making a card includes the steps of forming a core layer having a first surface and a second surface, disposing an uncured decorative ceramic layer of ceramic particles disposed in a resin binder over the first surface of the core layer, such as by spray coating, and curing the uncured decorative ceramic layer to form a cured decorative ceramic layer. Card products of the process may have a core layer of metal, ceramic, or a combination thereof that form a bulk of the card.

A flooring system for enclosures or vehicles, such as an aircraft flooring architecture, includes a flooring panel with at least an upper layer, a core ply, and a bottom layer. The bottom layer of the flooring panel has a top face and a bottom face, an upper layer of the flooring panel has an upper face and a lower face, and a core ply of the flooring panel has an upper surface bonded to the lower face of the upper layer and a bottom surface bonded to the top face of the bottom layer. The bottom face of the bottom layer is located on a structural floor of an enclosure or vehicle, such as the aircraft, and the bottom layer of the flooring panel slides over the structural floor.

The present disclosure relates to adhesive article that include a first, stretch releasable adhesive and patterned adhesive elements on, within, or partially embedded in a surface of the adhesive. The adhesive elements can act as spacers between the adhesive surface and the mounting surface to prevent full contact and wet out of the first adhesive, whereby the article can be removed from the wall and placed at a new location without damage to the wall surface or the article. Once the final location is selected, the separation created by the engineered elements can be overcome by applying sufficient pressure; the first adhesive can contact and adhere more permanently to the wall. Thus, a stretch releasable adhesive articles of the present disclosure can move freely relative to the desired mounting surface, while developing additional tack and holding power after sufficient pressure is applied.

Building or structural panels may be joined, such as to form walls or floors. The panels may be connected in various orientations via one or more connectors. The connectors may mount to anchors associated with the panels. The panels may have outer skins located over an expanded core comprising a matrix of supporting elongate members and voids or openings, with the anchors located at edges of the panels.
