The present invention relates to construction foil (1), with a multilayer layer structure (3) comprising a carrier layer (2) and a textile layer (11), wherein an electronic unit (4) comprising at least one moisture sensor (6) is printed on the outer side (13) of the carrier layer (2), wherein the textile layer (11) is water-permeable, preferably water-absorbent, wherein the electronic unit (4) is provided between the carrier layer (2) and the textile layer (11), and wherein the moisture sensor (6) is in direct contact with the textile layer (11), in particular is arranged on the textile layer (11).

A vehicle exterior part includes a decoration body including a layer structure formed by laminating layers in a front-rear direction, and includes a heater sheet including a transparent sheet base and a heater wire. The decoration body includes a transparent resin layer at a frontmost part of the decoration body and a decorative layer located rearward from the transparent resin layer. The transparent resin layer includes a general portion and an outer edge. A front surface of the general portion includes a general surface. The outer edge includes a bend surface that is curved or angular to a larger extent than the general surface. The sheet base includes a body located in front of the transparent resin layer and an extension extending from a periphery of the body. The body and a portion of the heater wire arranged on the body are located in front of only the general surface.

A self-adherent wall decoration has a body and two adhesive strips. The body is flexible and has a wear layer, a vinyl print layer, a waterproof core layer, and an underlayment layer. The wear layer is composed of poly(vinyl chloride), acrylate copolymer, dioctyl terephthalate, organotin thermal stabilizers, etc. The vinyl print layer is formed on the wear layer, and is composed of poly(vinyl chloride), acrylate copolymer, etc. The waterproof core layer is formed on the vinyl print layer, and is composed of poly(vinyl chloride), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer, etc. The underlayment layer is a poly(vinyl chloride) film, and is formed on the waterproof core layer. The two adhesive strips are adhered to a side of the underlayment layer of the body away from the waterproof core layer, wherein each one of the two adhesive strips is located near a respective one of two parallel sides of the body.

A method for manufacturing a composite part by laying up courses of composite tape using an automated tape layup (ATL) machine onto a conductive flexible facesheet laid flat on a flat surface, and then transferring the facesheet with the composite material thereon to a curved tooling surface for attachment of substructures and curing into the composite part. The method may also include applying insulation below the facesheet and above the composite material, then heating the conductive facesheet to cure the composite tape and fuse the composite tape to the substructures without heating the tooling surface or any other items used to compress and cure the composite material into the composite part. Heating of the facesheet may be performed using joule heat provided by a single turn transformer inducing current to a plurality of conductive wires attached at opposing ends to the facesheet.

Aspects herein are directed to an article of apparel having a vent opening formed by overlapping the edges of a first panel and a second panel. A plurality of discrete overlay film structures are applied to the second panel adjacent to the vent opening. When the article of apparel is exposed to an external stimulus, the film structures undergo a reversible increase in dimension in at least the z-direction which cause the second panel of material to undergo a reversible decrease in dimension in the direction of a longitudinal axis of the vent opening thereby causing the vent opening to dynamically transition from a closed state to an open state.
