A wipe structure of stitch bonded construction incorporating at least one inner layer of cellulose tissue disposed in sandwiched relation between a first discontinuous cover layer of spunbonded polypropylene fleece and a second discontinuous cover layer of spunbonded polypropylene fleece such that the inner layer, the first discontinuous cover layer and the second discontinuous cover layer form a stacked composite and a plurality of stitching yarns extending in stitched relation through the stacked composite.

A layered thermal insulation system generally conformable to three-dimensioned surfaces of heat-producing elements in need of insulation is described. The system comprises: i) an inner high temperature resistant insulation layer; ii) an outer high temperature resistant insulation layer adjacent the inner high temperature resistant insulation layer; and, iii) a first reflection layer and a second reflection layer. Each of said reflection layers is formed of a material selected from a group consisting of metal foils and are provided with a plurality of dimples and/or protrusions. The first reflection layer is adjacent the inner high temperature insulation layer such that, in use, an opposing surface thereof is in close proximity to said surfaces of said element to be insulated. The second reflection layer is adjacent to the outer high temperature insulation layer such that, in use, an opposing surface thereof comprises an exposed surface having a lower temperature than said surfaces of said element.

A vehicle interior member includes: a first core material; a first skin forming a first rim part in which at least a part of the peripheral edge part is folded back to the back surface side of the first core material to sandwich a peripheral edge part of the first core material; a second core material; a second skin forming a second rim part in which at least a part of the peripheral edge part is folded back to the back surface side of the second core material to sandwich a peripheral edge part of the second core material; and a stitch part that stitches the first rim part, the peripheral edge part of the first core material sandwiched by the first rim part, the second rim part, and the peripheral edge part of the second core material sandwiched by the second rim part.

A multilayer particle shield for a spacecraft includes an inboard exterior layer configured to be disposed proximal to the spacecraft, an outboard exterior layer configured to be disposed distal from the spacecraft and at least one interior layer disposed between the inboard exterior layer and the outboard exterior layer, wherein the interior layer includes a semi-rigid, porous, compressible spacer.

Disclosed is a sludge three-dimensional electroosmosis drainage reinforcing method based on a novel electric geotextile complex, and belongs to the field of soft soil foundation reinforcement. A novel electric geotextile complex is adopted, and a designed multidirectional three-dimensional continuous electroosmosis drainage method is adopted to perform rapid drainage reinforcement treatment on sludge, wherein the electric geotextile complex is prepared by combining fibers and conductive materials with a flexible drainage plate and has the effects of electric conductive, drainage, corrosion resistance and reinforcement. The proposed drainage method can realize the electroosmotic drainage in vertical and horizontal directions. Through layer by layer electroosmosis from bottom to top, the consolidation drainage effect of sludge in the lower layer can be enhanced by the increasing loading pressure from the upper sludge. After the vertical electroosmosis is completed, the method of exchange electrode is used to conduct horizontal electroosmosis in opposite direction.

Methods for forming a composite by combining a perforated face layer and a backing scrim to make a material having sufficient airflow, tear strength and aesthetic features applicable to seating.

Beads may be stitched to a substrate layer and then fused to form structures including foam midsoles, foam pads, and other foam structures. Beads may be embroidered to multiple substrate layers and then folded or stacked together to form a preform used in a mold to form a midsole.

A finished floor assembly covers a floor area of an aircraft and includes a subfloor, a padding assembly, and a finish flooring layer. Noise radiates from the subfloor due to vibrations transmitted by an aircraft structure. The padding assembly attenuates the noise and includes a first pad layer, a second pad layer, and a plurality of discontinuous couplings. The first pad layer abuts the subfloor. The second pad layer is adjacent to the first pad layer. The plurality of discontinuous couplings are laterally separated from each other along the floor area by void portions. The discontinuous couplings secure the first pad layer to the second pad layer and the first pad layer and the second pad layer are in contact at the void portions. The finish flooring layer disposed overtop the padding assembly.
