A method for producing an injection molded and anti-skid mat providing a lower mold half and an enclosing upper mold half, the mold halves defining therebetween an interior cavity which is a negative of the mat to be produced. A cavity defining surface is configured in the bottom mold half with locations for preplacement of a plurality of underside adhering portions. A flowable plasticized/rubberized material is communicated through a channel in at least one of the mold halves in order to fill the interior cavity, the material setting and cooling prior to removing the upper mold half and the formed mat.

A thermal vacuum insulation element (10) comprising a first planar limiting part (12) and a second planar limiting part (14). The limiting parts are spaced apart from each other and define an evacuated space (16) between them. The evacuated space (16) is sealed by means (26) for sealing. The vacuum insulation element includes first support elements (18) extending away from the first limiting part (12) into the evacuated space (16) and second support elements (20) extending away from the second limiting part (14) into the evacuated space (16), the limiting parts (12, 14) being arranged with the support elements (18, 20) such that the first support elements (18) and the second support elements (20) protrude beyond and are spaced from each other. The first support elements (18) are spaced from the second limiting part (14), and the second support elements (20) are spaced from the first limiting part (12). A fiber structure (22) interconnects the first support elements (18) and the second support elements (20). The fiber structure (22) has a low thermal conductivity and is configured to absorb at least the pressure caused by the vacuum on the first and second limiting parts (12, 14).

A method for manufacturing an alveolar core structure includes at least one cell including a secondary duct having a first end defining a sound wave inlet, and an opposite second end, the secondary duct comprising a sound wave outlet. The method also includes a fastening step in which adhesive tapes transverse to the longitudinal direction of said first plate are applied on a first longitudinal plate. The secondary duct in the form of a flattened element is fastened, on the first plate, by gluing at its sound wave inlet. A second plate is applied. A step of deploying the first and second plates so as to form the peripheral wall of the cells and so that the flattened element is deployed.

[B] a thermosetting resin, and

[C] a thermoplastic resin.

[B] contains a thermoplastic resin having an aromatic ring with an amount of 10% or more by mass, a resin region containing [B] is present on one surface of the prepreg, a resin region containing [C] is present on another surface of the prepreg, and [A] that crosses over a boundary surface between the resin region containing [B] and the resin region containing [C] and that is in contact with both resin regions is present.

To provide laminated glass that can significantly reduce air bubbles remaining inside.

Laminated glass having a first glass substrate and a second glass substrate laminated to each other, which has a first interlayer disposed between the first glass substrate and the second glass substrate and being in contact with the first glass substrate, a second interlayer disposed between the first glass substrate and the second glass substrate and being in contact with the second glass substrate, first and second functional members disposed between the first interlayer and the second interlayer and being in contact with the first interlayer and the second interlayer, wherein the first and second functional members have a higher rigidity than the first and second interlayers, and the first and second functional members are spaced apart from each other by a distance d when the laminated glass is viewed in plan view, and said distance d is at least 15 mm.

In one aspect, composite construction materials are described herein. In some embodiments, a composite construction panel comprises a substrate layer, a cover layer separated from the substrate layer by one or more spacers, and at least one mat disposed between the substrate layer and the cover layer, wherein the mat comprises at least one phase change material disposed in at least one phase change region.

A grid and skin assembly for use in a composite laminate structure is described. The assembly includes a metallic grid having a plurality of intersecting ribs oriented in at least two distinct rib directions offset at a grid angle relative to one another and defining respective intersection points; and a composite laminate skin having a plurality of ply layers comprising a plurality of tapes oriented in at least two distinct tape directions offset at a ply angle relative to one another. The grid angle is at least 25 degrees, the intersection points define glueless joints of the metallic grid, and the grid is a non-aluminum-based material. A grid and method of manufacturing the grid and skin assembly is also described. The method includes a water jet cutting procedure and glueless joint formation due to differing thermal expansion characteristics of the grid and skin.

Disclosed herein is a device and method for evacuating patients during medical emergencies. The device is an evacuation blanket comprised of a cover and a carrier. The cover includes a number of inventive elements supporting an improved method of evacuating patients and matching those patients to the blanket used for their evacuation after the patient has been evacuated to a destination and separated from the blanket.

The present invention relates to a floor panel 10, in particular for the outdoor area or wet areas, with a carrier plate 11 having a front face and rear face, wherein the carrier plate 11 is provided on its front face with a décor and/or protective layer 16. For drainage of liquids and in particular of water, on the rear face of the carrier plate 11 drainage protrusions 22, 24, 26, 32 are applied.

The invention is directed to a packaging film (2) comprising: a top layer (4) with at least one aperture (4.1); a bottom layer (8) adhered to the top layer (4); a tear layer (6) adhered to the bottom layer (8) and extending along the at least one aperture (4.1) so that upon traction on the tear layer, said layer tears the bottom layer (8) through the aperture(s) (4.1). The tear layer (6) extends beyond the at least one aperture (4.1), between the top layer (4) and the bottom layer (8), preferably longitudinally in two opposite directions. The invention also relates to a condom wrapping with such a film and to the manufacturing method for such a film.
