A resistive skin element for an acoustic panel intended for an aircraft includes a first ply, a second ply with openings and a wire mesh which is sandwiched between the two plies. First ply includes at least one layer made of C/PEAK and a film made of PEI. Second ply includes at least one layer made of PEI First ply is crossed by perforations. Second ply has openings configured so that second ply does not obstruct the perforations of first ply. The wire mesh allows perforations with large sizes to be made while keeping good acoustic properties.

A self-reinforced polymer adhered to a textile.

A method for producing a thermally conductive sheet, includes forming a molded body sheet having thermal conductivity and comprising a fibrous thermally conductive filler. A silicone resin film is formed by applying a silicone resin to a supporting body. At least one surface of the molded body sheet is directly affixed to a silicone resin side of the silicone resin film. The silicone resin is transferred to the at least one surface of the molded body sheet to form a silicone resin layer on the molded body sheet. The silicone resin layer is to be attached to a heat source or a heat dissipating member. The molded body sheet has a change in thermal resistance due to the transferring of the silicone resin of 0.5° C..Math.cm.sup.2/W or less.

A system of pantiliners and menstrual pads that can be used to alleviate undesirable conditions associated with dysmenorrhea or other physiological conditions is provided. The pantiliners of the invention include a top layer of composite material, a ventilation layer, and a bottom layer of breathable material. The menstrual pads of the invention include a top layer of composite material, an air-laid layer, a layer of super adsorbent polymer inside the air-laid layer, a ventilation layer, and a bottom layer of breathable material. The present system of pantiliners and menstrual pads is helpful in providing a decrease of pain and other unwanted symptoms during a menstrual cycle. In another advantage, the right placement guide and the left placement guide are provided to assist in placing the menstrual pads of the invention accurately in relation to the undergarment of the user.

Certain configurations of composite panels are described that comprise at least one aesthetic edge. In some embodiments, the composite panel with the aesthetic edge comprises a sandwich panel coupled to a shell layer. The sandwich panel may comprise skin layers and a core layer.

A plurality of different sized and shaped lightweight, shielded enclosures can be configured from a plurality of lightweight, shielded walls that attenuate one or more electromagnetic frequencies.

The present disclosure provides a composite lift gate for a vehicle. The composite lift gate includes a polymer matrix and a fiber assembly. The fiber assembly is embedded in the polymer matrix. The fiber assembly includes a fiber mat and a plurality of substantially-aligned continuous fibers. The plurality of substantially-aligned continuous fibers is directly connected to a portion of the fiber mat. In one aspect, the composite lift gate further includes an electronic component connected to the fiber assembly. In various aspects, the present disclosure provides a method of manufacturing a composite lift gate for a vehicle.

The invention provides a process for manufacturing a dynamically warm-keeping garment with a one-way moisture transferring function. The warm-keeping garment is made of a one-way moisture transferring fabric that includes a surface layer, a warm-keeping layer and a lining layer or includes the surface layer, a first warm-keeping layer, an intermediate interlayer, a second warm-keeping layer and the lining layer. The above technical solution addresses the following problems of traditional warm-keeping cotton clothes and down jackets: temperature loss caused by unsmooth sweat discharge; complex and difficult processing due to underarm zippers for venlilation; static damage and possible explosion of washing machines by air pressure due to air tightness during washing.

An aerospace component, for example, used in a gas turbine engine, includes the following structurally-integrated layers: a metallic layer and a composite layer having reinforcing fibers embedded in a matrix material. The aerospace component can also include an insulating layer disposed between the metallic layer and the composite layer where the insulating layer has a thermal conductivity that is lower than a thermal conductivity of the composite layer.

A dehumidifying element includes a plurality of sheets that have moisture adsorption and desorption properties and that are stacked on top of each another. At least some of the sheets each have an irregular shape. The sheets each contain a hygroscopic agent having properties of a re-moistening-type glue that exhibits adherence when adsorbing moisture and that solidifies when being dried. The sheets are bonded to each other by the hygroscopic agent.
