The present disclosure is directed to a poured-in-place protective surface, such as can be installed at a playground. The protective surface includes an impact-attenuation or cushion layer, which comprises a blend of (a) a rubber chunk component made up of granules of reclaimed rubber, the reclaimed rubber being from non-tire sources; (b) a tire buffings component; and (c) a binder. The ratio of rubber chunk component to tire buffings component is selected to be between 1.25:1 and 10:1, and more particularly between 1.25:1 and 5:1.

A diffusion barrier coating on a nickel-based alloy substrate comprising the diffusion barrier being coupled to the substrate between the substrate and a composite material opposite the substrate, wherein the diffusion barrier comprises a nickel cobalt and chromium-aluminum-yttria powder material.

A sound attenuation material includes a plurality of particles, each having a core and an elastic or compliant coating around the core, and a matrix surrounding the plurality of particles, the matrix being less dense than the core. A method of manufacturing sound attenuating materials includes adding an elastic or compliant coating to core particles and drying the coating, mixing the coated core particles into a matrix material, and pouring the mixture into a mold. The core particles are denser than the matrix material.

A precursor structure is provided. The precursor structure has the following chemical formula:

[00001]$\left({\mathrm{La}}_2.Math.{\mathrm{Zr}}_{2-x}.Math.M_x.Math.O_7\right).Math.\frac{1}{2}.Math.\left({\mathrm{La}}_{2-y}.Math.M_y^{\prime }.Math.O_3\right),$

wherein M is a trivalent ion or a pentavalent ion, M′ is a bivalent ion, x=0-1, y=0-1.5, and the precursor structure includes a pyrochlore phase. Since the pyrochlore phase may be transformed into the garnet phase through a lithiation process and the phase transition temperature is lower (e.g., 500-1000° C.), the precursor structure may be co-fired with the cathode material (e.g., lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO.sub.2)) to form a thin lamination structure. That is, the thickness of the solid electrolyte may be effectively reduced, thereby improving the ionic conductivity of the solid electrolyte ion battery.

The present disclosure relates to a decoration element comprising a light reflective layer, and a light absorbing layer provided on the light reflective layer and comprising Si.

The invention relates to conductive multi-layer materials for leak detection applications. The electrically conductive multi-layer material comprises a woven glass fibre web (2) having a binding agent (4) and a fire retardant compound (5), which is impregnated with electrically conductive carbon particles (6), wherein one side of the glass fibre web (2) is coated with metallic electrically conductive layer (10) by the means of vacuum deposition.

A vehicle component including a first cured layer of a molding composition having chopped glass fibers as a majority by volume of the fiber filler. A second cured layer of molding composition is provided that has carbon fibers as a majority by volume of the fiber filler. An adhesive applied is as liquid or paste joining the first cured layer and the second cured layer. The adhesive has a Modulus of between 600 and 800 MPa with an elongation of about 70% as determined by ASTM D638 and a CLTE between 50 and 90 μm/m-° C. in a temperature range of −30° C. to 0° C. and 255 μm/m-° C. in a temperature range of 100° C. to 130° C. as determined by ISO MAT-2208, and a thickness such that no bond-line read-through (BLRT) is observable in an outer surface of said first cured layer with an unaided, normal human eye.

A weighted blanket with outer fabric layers and an inner layer comprising a continuous sheet of material may be formed from a core material comprising a polymer material and a filler material. The inner layer may include a plurality of ventilation apertures spaced that extend through the inner layer or may be a solid sheet.

A multi-layer body armor plate includes a strike plate; a mesh layer positioned over the strike plate, the mesh layer having a number of open cells; and an outer skin layer positioned over the mesh layer so as to encapsulate the open cells of the mesh layer between the strike plate and the outer skin layer. The open cells of the mesh layer may entrap air or may be filled with expandable, buoyant foam.

A composite body has a cermet member, a metal member and an intermediate member. The cermet member includes a cermet oxide phase and a cermet metal phase. The cermet oxide phase contains a Ni-containing oxide or an Fe-containing oxide. The cermet metal phase contains Ni. The intermediate layer contains Cu. The mass proportions of Cu in the cermet metal phase at points which are spaced apart by 10, 50, 100 and 1000 μm from the interface between the cermet member and the intermediate layer to the cermet member side are denoted by C10, C50, C100 and C1000 (mass %). When the mass proportions of Cu in the cermet oxide phase at points which are spaced apart by 10 and 100 μm from the interface to the cermet member side are denoted by M10 and M100 (mass %), C10>C50>C100>C1000, and 5>M10−M100>−5.
