A method for making a layered structure without any defects, including a first support layer, a second support layer, and an adhesive intermediate layer interposed between the first layer and the second layer which is adapted to fix the layers on each other. The intermediate layer embeds operatively at least a three-dimensional macroscopic element being made of crystal glass or precious stones, and the intermediate layer is made of a thermoplastic resin having a melting temperature.

A prepreg includes [A], [B], and [C] described below. The [B] further comprises [B′]; a ratio of a mole number of an active hydrogen contained in [B′] to a mole number of an epoxy group in an epoxy resin contained in [B] is in a range of 0.6 to 1.1 both inclusive; [C] is present on a surface of the prepreg; and [A] that crosses over a boundary surface between a resin region containing [B] and a resin region containing [C] and that is in contact with both resin regions is present: [A] a reinforcing fiber; [B] an epoxy resin composition; an amine compound; and [C] a thermoplastic resin composition.

An object of the present disclosure is to provide a method for manufacturing a multi-layer stack with excellent mechanical strength and thermal insulation properties. A multi-layer stack includes a glass panel unit, an intermediate film, and a transparent plate attached via the intermediate film to the glass panel unit. The glass panel unit includes a first glass panel, a second glass panel, and an evacuated space interposed between the first glass panel and the second glass panel. The method includes assembling the glass panel unit and the transparent plate together via the intermediate film inside an evacuated chamber.

An article of footwear including a sole system, including an upper and the sole system. The sole system includes a knitted component incorporating a one-piece knit outsole. The knit outsole has a ground-facing side, a top side, an inlaid tensile element, and a ground-engaging cleat member protruding from the ground-facing side of the knit outsole. The tensile element may be adjacent a cleat member. The upper is connected at its bottom to the top side of the knit outsole.

An automobile interior trim includes: a resin core member formed to have a predetermined shape; a surface member bonded to a front surface of the resin core member; a plurality of reinforcement ribs provided at a back surface of the resin core member in a width direction of the resin core member; and a recess formed at an upper end surface of each of the reinforcement ribs as means for setting a terminal part of the resin core member as a base point of rupture so that, when a side airbag deploys on the back surface side of the resin core member, the terminal part of the resin core member ruptures by force of the deployment. A slit is formed at the terminal part of the surface member adjacent to the base point of the rupture of the resin core member.

A packaging material comprising a core layer, an outermost layer arranged to face the exterior of a packaging container made of the packaging material, and an innermost layer arranged to face the interior of the packaging container is provided. The outermost layer and the innermost layer are laminated to the core layer. The laminated packaging material further comprises a locally distributed heat sealable material portion arranged on the innermost layer.

A method for producing a panel with integrated conductor tracks and electronic components. The panel includes a panel body, wherein the panel body is in particular a sandwich structure, and a membrane. The membrane is connected to the panel body and has integrated conductor tracks and electronic components. At the beginning of the method, an operation for attaching the conductor tracks and the electronic components to the membrane is provided. The subsequent step includes an operation for connecting the membrane, fitted with the conductor tracks and the electronic components, to the panel body.

A vehicle seat backrest having a body, a cover layer designed to be placed at the back of the body and covering at least a portion of the body, a storage apparatus defining a storage volume over a portion of the cover layer, and a fixation device for attaching the storage apparatus onto the cover layer. The fixation device includes at least one fixation support and at least one pin. The cover layer is overmolded onto the at least one fixation support. The at least one pin mates with the at least one fixation support and the storage apparatus so as to attach the storage apparatus to the cover layer.

Various embodiments of the disclosure are directed towards fenestration assemblies having a first pane; a second pane, the second pane spaced from the first pane; and a third pane configured in spaced relation between the first pane and the second pane, where the third pane is a laminate. In one aspect, the total thickness of the third pane laminate is not greater than 3 mm. In one aspect, the laminate comprises a first glass layer not greater than 1 mm thick and a second glass layer not greater than 1 mm thick, and an interlayer between first and second layers.

A method for perforating a film of plastic material in which the film is perforated whilst it is slid through a perforating device by a plurality of pressurised hot gas jets having a temperature above the melting temperature of the main film, in which the hot gas jets are correlated with the sliding speed of the main film, and in which reinforcing bands obtained from an auxiliary film of plastic material are connected to the perforated main film, making the reinforcing bands adhere between parallel rows of base holes. During perforating, the main film of plastic material is pressed against a perforating template, making the main film of plastic material instantaneously penetrate openings of the perforating template by said hot gas jets. A hot gas perforating device and a suitable apparatus for perforating and stretching a film of plastic material are also provided.
