The disclosure relates to a hydrophobic film according to one embodiment is provided. The hydrophobic film includes a flexible substrate and a hydrophobic layer on a surface of the flexible substrate. The hydrophobic layer comprises a base and a patterned bulge layer on a surface of the base.

A glazed element for a vehicle includes a laminated glazing, the laminated glazing including two glass sheets and a soundproofing layer made of a visco-elastic material and arranged between the two glass sheets, wherein the glazed element includes a device for measuring the temperature of the acoustic layer.

A laminated glass comprises first and second glass sheets and a ply of interlayer material disposed therebetween, a conductive strip disposed on the ply of interlayer material, a connector arranged at an edge of the second glass sheet, a ceramic ink layer on a surface of the second glass sheet not facing the ply of interlayer material and partly obscuring the conductive strip, a gap in the ceramic ink layer configured so that the conductive strip is in contact with the connector in the gap. Also, there is a method for manufacturing the laminated glass and use of the laminated glazing.

A heating pad with a thermostatic control circuit coupled to a resistance heating element. The resistance heating element and an acrylic based polymer adhesive are glued between polyester film layers. The film layers and heating element are contained with a plastic sleeve. The thickness and properties of the polyester film and adhesive forms a fuse. The adhesive delaminates the polyester film at excessive temperatures causing the resistance heating element to sever thereby creating an open circuit that halts operation of the heating pad. The thermostatic control circuit includes a hysteresis circuit that compares analog signals across two thin film resistors to provide a control signal to a power controller to selectively vary the power output to the heating element. The thermostatic control circuit is an integrated circuit board disposed within the fused plastic sleeve.

A three-dimensional lattice includes a stabilizing grid having grid warp strands and grid weft strands crossing the grid warp strands. Grid cells are defined by adjacent grid warp strands and adjacent grid weft strands intersecting the adjacent grid warp strands. A projecting net has net warp strands and net weft strands crossing the net warp strands. Each subnet in a plurality of subnets uniquely corresponds to a corresponding grid cell. Each subnet includes a net warp strand portion intersecting both of the grid weft strands that define the corresponding grid cell. Each subnet includes a net weft strand portion intersecting both of the grid warp strands that define the corresponding grid cell. The net warp strand portion and the net weft strand portion of each subnet are spaced from a minimum surface defined by the corresponding grid cell.

A multilayer insulating panel is for the installation of an electric heating system having electric heating wires in a subfloor or in a wall of a building. The panel includes a main insulating layer including a first surface and a second opposite surface. A sheet made of polymeric material is operatively associated with one of the first or second surfaces. The sheet has a first face and a second opposite face and includes reliefs equally spaced apart on the first face to fix the electric heating wires on the first face in a reversible manner. A connection layer is fixed to the second face of the sheet. The connection layer is interposed between the second face of the sheet and one of the first surface or the second surface of the main layer following the association of the main insulating layer with the polymeric sheet.

A laminated glazing includes a first structural ply assembled with a first glass sheet of 0.5 to 1.5 mm thickness by way of a first adhesive interlayer, the first glass sheet forming a first exterior face of the laminated glazing, the face of the first glass sheet oriented toward the first adhesive interlayer bearing a first conductive heating layer of 2 ngstrms to 500 nm thickness, and the first conductive heating layer including flow-separating lines of 0.05 to 0.2 mm thickness spaced apart by 8 to 20 mm.

Liner having an induction heat sealable layer for sealing to a rim of a container, and a pull tab for ease of removal of the liner from the container rim. An insert is disposed between multilayer upper and lower components, has a heat bondable polyolefin layer that is thermally laminated to polyolefin layers of the upper and lower components, forming a pull tab between the integrated polyolefin layers. The resulting composite resists delamination and can be formed in a single thermal lamination step, avoiding the multiple lamination steps, associated high equipment costs, and complex layer constructions of the prior art.
