A manufacturing method for manufacturing a welded thermoplastic composite and honeycomb core structure is provided. A thermoplastic composite and honeycomb structure is generated by positioning a first thermoplastic composite skin on a support structure, positioning a first thermoplastic film over the first thermoplastic composite skin, positioning a honeycomb core over the first thermoplastic film, positioning a second thermoplastic film is positioned over the honeycomb core, and positioning a second thermoplastic composite skin over the second thermoplastic film. The second thermoplastic composite skin is ultrasonically welded to the honeycomb core. The thermoplastic composite and honeycomb structure is then flipped over, and the first thermoplastic composite skin is then ultrasonically welded to the honeycomb core.

A vacuum insulating panel may include: a first glass substrate; a second glass substrate; a plurality of spacers provided in a gap between at least the first and second substrates, wherein the gap is at a pressure less than atmospheric pressure; and a seal having at least one layer provided between at least the first and second substrates. Additive(s) may be provided in material(s) for the seal in in order to improve thermal diffusivity and/or thermal conductivity thereof.

The present invention relates to a system that allows the manufacturing and/or continuous automated production of at least one film, cover, mantle and/or mesh made of polyethylene, plastic material, among other materials, which comprises in an integrated manner at least one fluid distribution line, so that the manufactured product allows to deploy both component simultaneously, without the need to be deployed on a field separately, which comprises at least one device for continuous and automatic feeding of the film, layer, mat and/or cover made of polyethylene and/or plastic (2), at least one device for continuous and automatic feeding of at least one element for delivery, distribution and/or removal of fluid (3), preferably at least one irrigation line, at least one automatic and continuous feeding device of at least one sleeve (4), at least one thermofusion device (5), and at least one control system.
