A sublimation transfer sheet assembly including a first layer and an dye or ink layer positioned on a first side of the first layer. The first layer and the dye or ink layer being positioned such that when the sublimation transfer sheet assembly is wrapped about an object with the dye or ink layer facing the object, a first edge portion of the sublimation transfer sheet assembly is overlapped by a second edge portion of the sublimation transfer sheet assembly, and the first edge portion is interposed between the second edge portion and the object.

A method of fabricating a panel includes laying up a first laminate on a tooling surface, laying a first layer of thermoplastic on an inner surface of the first laminate, laying a large cell carbon core on the first layer of thermoplastic, laying a second layer of thermoplastic across the large cell carbon core, laying a second laminate on the second layer of thermoplastic, creating a sealed core pocket by bonding the edges of the first and second layers of the thermoplastic surrounding a perimeter of the core, increasing pressure within the core pocket, increasing pressure on the outer surface of the second laminate, heating the panel to a desired curing temperature, and maintaining the increased pressures and temperature for a desired curing duration.

An adhering jig includes a mounting plate having an upper surface, and a plurality of aligning parts incorporated in the mounting plate. A plurality of first holes are formed in the upper surface, and a plurality of first pins are engaged in the plurality of first holes, each having a base end and an upper end, and configured to be movable in a direction normal to the upper surface. A plurality of first adjusting members are located inward with respect to the upper surface. The plurality of first adjusting members are configured to support the plurality of first pins and to adjust movements thereof. The plurality of first adjusting members are, when the plurality of first pins are pressed in the first holes, configured to exert opposite force to the force applied through the plurality of first pins.

The methods herein relate to assembling an elastic laminate with a first elastic material and a second elastic material bonded between first and second substrates. During assembly, an elastic laminate may be formed by positioning the first and second substrates in contact with stretched central regions of the first and second elastic materials. The elastic laminates may include two or more bonding regions that may be defined by the various layers or components of the elastic laminate that are laminated or stacked relative to each other. In some configurations, a first plurality of ultrasonic bonds are applied to the elastic laminate to define a first bond density in the first bonding region, and a second plurality of ultrasonic bonds are applied to the elastic laminate to define a second bond density in the second bonding region, wherein the second bond density is not equal to the first bond density.

Provided is a heat dissipation sheet capable of effectively enhancing adhesiveness and long-term insulation reliability. The heat dissipation sheet according to the present invention contains first inorganic particles having an aspect ratio of 2 or less, second inorganic particles having an aspect ratio of more than 2, and a binder resin. In this heat dissipation sheet, a content of the second inorganic particles is larger than a content of the first inorganic particles in 100% by volume of a region having a thickness of 15% on a first surface side in a thickness direction, and the content of the first inorganic particles in 100% by volume of the region having a thickness of 15% is larger than the content of the first inorganic particles in 100% by volume of a central region having a thickness of 70%.

A skin-to-core bond line mapping system and method is disclosed. Layered composite components formed by “sandwiching” multiple materials together require a continuous bond between those materials with voids below particular thresholds that can vary by application. The skin-to-core bond line mapping system can include a laminate, an adhesive, a separator film, a core, a breather, a layup tool, bagging material, sealant, and a vacuum port. By employing systems and processes that layer separator film over adhesive and applying a core proximate the adhesive, a bagging material can be disposed over the materials to facilitate vacuum compaction, thereby impressing core impressions on the adhesive to map the areas between the skin and core that have good contact. An iterative process is disclosed, in which additional adhesive can be used to build the bond line until contact is made (or engineering tolerance is reached).

The present invention relates generally to the field of food packaging, in particular food packaging. One embodiment of the present invention relates to a three/dimensional cellulose/based food packaging with excellent barrier properties. For example, the present invention relates to a cellulose-based, multilayer, three-dimensional food packaging comprising a bioplastic layer, a barrier paper layer and a moulded cellulose layer. This cellulose-based, multilayer, three-dimensional food packaging has an oxygen transmission rate (OTR) of less than 30 cc/m.sup.2/d (23 C., 50% RH) and a water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) of less than 20 g/m.sup.2/d (38 C., 90% RH).
