The present invention relates generally to a below grade, blind side, waterproofing sheet membrane with adhesive and moderate reflectivity granular particle layer to fully bond to concrete/shotcrete, and a method of making, and using same. More particularly, the invention encompasses a below grade, blind side, waterproofing sheet membrane with adhesive, and having at least one layer of moderate reflectivity granular particle layer that are fully or partly embedded into the adhesive layer, and where the average reflectivity of the exposed granular particles is below 55 percent reflectivity on a standard reflectivity scale. The inventive waterproofing layer having the waterproofing sheet membrane, and an adhesive layer having embedded therein moderate reflectivity granular particles can be used in any building or wall construction, and can be placed under or around a foundation of a building or dwelling or on its below grade blind side retaining walls, etc.

The present invention relates generally to a below grade, blind side, waterproofing sheet membrane with adhesive and low reflectivity granular particle layer to fully bond to concrete/shotcrete, and a method of making, and using same. More particularly, the invention encompasses a below grade, blind side, waterproofing sheet membrane with adhesive, and having at least one layer of low reflectivity granular particle layer that are fully or partly embedded into the adhesive layer, and where the average reflectivity of the exposed granular particles is about 50 or below 55 percent reflectivity on a standard reflectivity scale. The inventive waterproofing layer having the waterproofing sheet membrane, and an adhesive layer having embedded therein low reflectivity granular particles can be used in any building or wall construction, and can be placed under or around a foundation of a building or dwelling or on its below grade blind side retaining walls, etc.

A display module is provided, which encloses a display assembly by using a flexible cover, thereby sealing a first gap between a backlight housing and a support structure and a second gap between the support structure and a display panel. It can isolate external water vapor and dust from entering an interior of the display assembly, thereby improving the dustproof and waterproof capabilities of the display module, and further improving the reliability of the display module.

A white polyester film is described that includes at least a layer including, as a main component, a polyester resin (A), a thermoplastic resin (B) incompatible with the polyester resin (A), and an inorganic particle (C), where the white polyester film achieves high reflectance and a concealing property without increasing the thickness of the reflective film, the layer including voids in which the thermoplastic resin (B) functions as nuclei, wherein in a vertical section of the white film, NB2/NB1×100 (%) is 15% or more, wherein NB1 represents the number of the nuclei of the thermoplastic resin (B), and NB2 represents the number of the sections of the thermoplastic resin (B), the sections including the inorganic particle (C) inside.

Proposed is a tube container in which generation of scratches on a surface of the container can be prevented. The present tube container (100) includes a tube body (30) that defines a container space (S) for contents and that has a laminated structure. The tube body (30) includes: a cylindrical laminated sheet (31) in which both edges (31a, 31b) of the sheet are butted together; and a reinforcing tape portion (reinforcing tape 35) provided on an inner surface of the laminated sheet (31) along a butted portion (32). The laminate sheet (31) includes a high hardness protective layer (18) constituting an outermost layer, an outer polyethylene-based resin layer (21) formed on an inner side of the high hardness protective layer (18), and an inner polyethylene-based resin layer (11) constituting an innermost layer, and the high hardness protective layer (18) has a pencil hardness of 3B or greater than 3B. The reinforcing tape portion (35) includes a polyethylene-based resin layer (outer reinforcing resin layer 59) as an outermost layer abutting against the inner surface of the laminate sheet (31).

A substrate, such as a windshield, includes: a first glass element; a second glass element; and a light absorptive element that is disposed directly between the second glass element and the first glass element, that is configured to receive and absorb light output by an image source.

A flexible pavement structure comprises a surface layer, a base layer, a sub-base layer, and a subgrade layer. Herein, the surface layer is adjacent to and above the base layer, and the sub-base layer is adjacent to and above the subgrade layer. The flexible pavement structure further comprises a layered system composed of first, second, and third materials different from each other, and is disposed as an interface layer between the base layer and the sub-base layer. The first material is a geotextile fabric selected from a group consisting of polypropylene and polyethylene, providing ground stabilization or reinforcement properties. The second material is a waterproof heat insulation material selected from a group consisting of cross-linked polyethylene foam and laminated aluminum foil, providing waterproofing or impermeability properties. The third material is a glass foamed insulation material.

Described herein are liquid crystal (LC) assemblies that are dimmable and techniques for manufacturing LC assemblies. In one example, an LC assembly comprises: a first curved glass panel, a second curved glass panel, and a liquid crystal panel having a first outer surface and a second outer surface, a layer of a liquid adhesive attaching the first curved glass panel and the first outer surface of the liquid crystal panel, and a film adhesive attaching the second curved glass panel and the second outer surface of the liquid crystal panel.

The present application generally relates to top films comprising a semi-crystalline core polymeric layer sandwiched by two amorphous skin layers, one on each side of the core polymeric layer. In preferred embodiments, an acrylic layer adjacent one of the amorphous skin layers is present as an outermost layer. The present application is also directed to retroreflective articles comprising such top films.
