The present invention provides enthalpy exchanger elements (E, E′, PR, PF) and enthalpy exchangers comprising such elements. Furthermore, the invention discloses a method for producing such enthalpy exchanger elements and enthalpy exchangers, comprising the steps of a) providing an air-permeable sheet element (1); b) laminating at least one side (1a, 1b) of the sheet element (1) with a thin polymer film (3, 4) with water vapor transmission characteristics; and c) forming the laminated sheet element (1) into a desired shape exhibiting a three-dimensional corrugation pattern (5, 5, . . . ).

The mat of the present invention includes a main body integrally formed by a plastic material. The main body at least has a first surface and a second surface adjacent to the first face. The first face and the second face have different surface physical characteristics. The first surface and the second surface are shaped into a third surface and a fourth surface respectively. The third surface and the fourth surface have a substantially same surface physical characteristic. An angle between the third surface and the fourth surface outside the main body is a specific value.

A breast cup for an undergarment, such as a brassiere, includes a cup core that has a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. Each of the first and second surfaces is formed with a plurality of grooves. Each groove has an elongated opening, an elongated bottom, and a sidewall on each of two longitudinal sides of the groove. The breast cup also includes a first fabric layer overlying the first surface of the cup core, and a second fabric layer overlying the second surface of the cup core. A top part of the sidewalls of one or more of the plurality of the first grooves is attached to the first fabric layer while at least a portion of the bottom of the one or more of the plurality of the first grooves is not attached to the first fabric layer.

A display device includes a first non-foldable area, a second non-foldable area, and a foldable area. The display device includes a display module including a display panel, a support substrate supporting the display module, including an upper surface facing the display module and a lower surface opposite to the upper surface, and provided with a groove defined in the lower surface to overlap the foldable area, a first support plate disposed under the support substrate, and a second support plate disposed under the support substrate and spaced apart from the first support plate in the foldable area.

A polishing layer is provided. The polishing layer have a surface pattern, a cross section of the surface pattern along a direction has a plurality of grooves and a plurality of polishing portions, each of the grooves is disposed between every two adjacent polishing portions, and the polishing layer comprises a body layer and a surface layer. The surface layer is disposed on a surface of the body layer, and a top of at least one of the polishing portions has at least one flattened region exposing the body layer.

Compression mold assembly for forming a preform of a cascade includes first and second die elements and an axis of alignment. Line of removal of a formed preform is positioned perpendicular to a plane perpendicular to the axis of alignment. First die portion includes first curved surface forming interior surface of first strong back and second die portion includes first curved surface forming interior surface of a second strong back of a cell of a formed preform. Second die portion includes second curved surface forming an interior surface of a first vane on forward side of the cell of the formed preform and first die portion further includes first wall member which extends along line of removal and a second wall member which extends angularly from first wall portion forming an interior surface of a second vane positioned on an aft side of the cell.
