An apparatus comprised of a first portion comprising a generally flexible fabric, and a second portion or layer comprising a gel material formed in a generally planar rectangular shape. Positioned below the second layer is a third portion or a damping layer having a series of dampers positioned thereon, where the dampers are elastomeric flexible and compressible. The three portions are laminated together.

The present disclosure generally relates to conformable adhesive articles that are capable of attaching or adhering to a substrate and that can be removed from the substrate without causing damage to the substrate. The present disclosure also generally relates to methods of making and using such adhesive articles. In some embodiments, the adhesive article includes (1) a releasable layer having a first major surface and a second major surface; the second major surfaces including a pressure sensitive adhesive capable of adhering the adhesive article to a surface; and (2) a compliant layer having a first major surface and a second major surface; the second major surface of the compliant layer adjacent to the first major surface of the releasable layer. In some embodiments, the releasable layer debonds from both the surface and the compliant layer when the adhesive article is stretch released at an angle of less than 35 degrees.

An acoustic fiber silencer for a motor vehicle includes a first sound absorbing layer and a second sound insulating layer. The layers are formed of lightweight fibrous material, and the sound insulating layer is quilted. The acoustic fiber silencer includes a frame to which the sound absorbing and sound insulating layers are secured. The frame provides structural support and shape to the sound absorbing and sound insulating layers. The acoustic fiber silencer is lightweight while maintaining excellent noise attenuation properties.

A foam flooring includes a stone-plastic base material structure, which sequentially comprises, from top to bottom, a first stable layer, a foaming layer and a second stable layer. The first stable layer and the second stable layer are both sheets with a PVC resin and filler powder as main components, with 25-40 parts by mass of the PVC resin and 55-75 parts by mass of the filler powder; and the density of the SPC foam flooring is 1.4-1.6 g/cm3. The foaming layer is arranged between the two stable layers, such that the overall density of the flooring is significantly reduced and reaches 1.4-1.6 g/m3; since the foaming layer is arranged inside, the surface strength of the overall flooring is not influenced.

A reinforcing vibration-damping material that includes a reinforcing material and a vibration-damping material disposed on the reinforcing material in a thickness direction of the reinforcing material. The vibration-damping material has a first portion that overlaps the reinforcing material in the thickness direction and a second portion that does not overlap the reinforcing material in the thickness direction. When the reinforcing vibration-damping material is attached to the object, the reinforcing material is adhered to the object and the second portion of the vibration-damping material is also adhered to the object so that the vibration-damping material suppresses the downward displacement of the reinforcing material.

Arrangements described herein relate to systems, apparatuses, and methods for a disposable kit containing medical items configured for a medical device including a head cradle to support a head of a subject, the disposable kit includes a container that encloses a head cradle pad configured to be affixed to the head cradle, at least one fiducial marker configured to be disposed on a location at the head of the subject, and at least one enclosure configured to cover a portion of the medical device.

The present disclosure relates to a multilayer composite that may include a first porous layer, and a first barrier layer overlying the first porous layer. The first barrier layer may include a polyaramid material, a polyimide material, or any combination thereof. The multilayer composite may have a flame resistance rating of at least about 180° C. and a 50% strain compression rating of not greater than about 600 kPa.

A film 1 for a metal layer laminate board is used for lamination of a metal layer 5. The film 1 for a metal layer laminate board includes a porous resin layer 2 and a skin layer 3 in order in a thickness direction. The porous resin layer 2 has an average pore size W in the entire thickness direction of 7.0 μm or less. The porous resin layer 2 includes a first region 11 to a fifth region 15 disposed in order in a direction away from the skin layer 3 when the porous resin layer 3 is equally divided into five in the thickness direction. A ratio (A1/A5) of an average pore size A1 of the first region 11 to an average pore size A5 of the fifth region 15 is 0.45 or more and 1 or less.

A porous polyimide film has a low dielectric loss tangent. The porous polyimide film is a reaction product of a diamine component and an acid dianhydride component. The diamine component contains an aromatic diamine represented by the following formula (1).

##STR00001##

(In formula, Y represents at least one selected from the group consisting of a single bond, —COO—, —S—, —CH(CH.sub.3)—, —C(CH.sub.3).sub.2—, —CO—, —NH—, and —NHCO—.) The porosity is 50% or more.

A film for a metal layer laminate board and a metal layer laminate board have excellent stiffness, while capable of suppressing fluctuation of a dielectric constant before and after pressing. The film for a metal layer laminate board includes a porous resin layer having a tensile elastic modulus at 25° C. of 800 MPa or more and 2000 MPa or less.
