An absorbent pad has: a first, outer layer comprising a permeable or non-permeable film; a second, outer layer comprising a permeable or non-permeable film, placed on a side of the pad opposite the first, outer layer; a third layer disposed between the first layer and the second layer, and comprising a tissue laminate comprising at least a first ply and a second ply, with at least one chemical agent or system fixed in the third layer and being either activated by contact with or soluble in an aqueous liquid, the at least one chemical agent or system being in a predetermined amount distributed substantially uniformly per unit area of the surface area between the at least first ply and second ply: and a fourth layer disposed between the first layer and the second layer and comprising fluff, with or without a chemical agent or system, the third layer being joined to the fourth layer to serve as a substrate for the fourth layer.

A transversely extensible continuous elastic laminates includes a continuous elastic tape sandwiched between two continuous webs, and at least one row of tabs extending transversely outside the two webs, wherein the tabs are made of a non-woven material and have respective micro-hook formations integrally formed in the non-woven material forming the tabs.

A system and methods for manufacturing a dry electrode for an energy storage device are disclosed. The system includes a first dry electrode material delivery system configured to deliver a dry electrode material, a first calendering roll, a second calendering roll, and a controller. The second calendering roll is configured to form a first nip between the first calendering roll and the second calendering roll. The first nip is configured to receive the dry electrode material from the first dry electrode material delivery system, and form a dry electrode film from the dry electrode material. The controller is configured to control a rotational velocity of the second calendering roll to be greater than a rotational velocity of the first calendering roll.

The present invention discloses means and methods for manufacturing a multilayer of liquid crystal dispersion film using releasable supporting films and means and methods for manufacturing a haze-free and low-cost multi liquid crystal-layer PDLC, LCDP, PSLC or polymer network using reliable supporting films.

A process for producing a surface covering with an embossed printed surface is described. A substrate (16) is continuously moved through a production line, and this substrate (16) is first provided, in a printing equipment (12), with a printed pattern and thereafter, in an embossing equipment (14), with an embossed pattern, which is registered with the printed pattern. The printing equipment (12) produces the printed pattern in-line with the production of the embossed pattern. During printing in the printing equipment (12), the printed pattern is stretched or compressed, dynamically responsive to indicators of misalignments between the printed pattern and the embossed pattern, so as to correct or prevent the misalignments. A production line for carrying out this process is also proposed.

A crotch member of a disposable under garment is joined to central portions of a symmetrical ventral member and a symmetrical dorsal member. A crotch side edge of the ventral member includes a recessed line symmetrically recessed toward a waist side edge between a center line and left and right end portions of the ventral member. The recessed line includes bottom portions each closest to the waist side edge located at a position closer to the left and right end portions than the center line. A crotch side edge of the dorsal member include a protruding line symmetrically protruding away from a waist side edge between a centerline and left and right end portions of the dorsal member. The protruding line includes top portions farthest away from the waist side edge located at a position closer to the centerline than the left and right end portions.

A package for delivering a fluid volatile substance includes an impermeable shell that defines a reservoir into which a liquid volatile substance, such as oil, may be at least partially filled. A microporous membrane is placed in covering relation to the reservoir to allow emanation through capillarity of the volatile substance. To absorb any liquid that may seep through microporous membrane during use or storage, an oleophilic layer is heat sealed in covering relation to the microporous membrane. Finally, a foil barrier layer is sealed to the shell in covering relation to the microporous membrane. The foil barrier is releasable and once released will activate the volatile substance contained within the reservoir to transition from its liquid phase to a gaseous phase with the vapors carrying the scent of the volatile substance.

A composite fiber web having superior heat resistance and sound absorption and including a center layer containing a carbon fiber and a heat-resistant layer, and to a method of manufacturing the same. The method of the present invention can exhibit a fast manufacturing speed through a melt-blowing process that will generate economic benefits. The composite fiber web includes a composite layer and individual layers with various fiber diameters resulting in a superior sound absorption rate. The PET fiber included in the heat-resistant layer of the composite layer is an environmentally friendly material with superior heat resistance due to the inclusion of ultrafine fiber. Also, the composite fiber web has superior strength, conductivity, and electromagnetic shielding and deodorization effects, which allows it to be widely utilized for sound absorption materials and in all application fields thereof.

An absorbent pad has: a first, outer layer including a permeable or non-permeable film; a second, outer layer including a permeable or non-permeable film, placed on a side of the pad opposite the first, outer layer; a third layer disposed between the first layer and the second layer, and including a tissue laminate with at least two plies, with at least one chemical agent or system fixed in the third layer and being either activated by contact with or soluble in an aqueous liquid; and a fourth layer disposed between the first layer and the second layer and comprising fluff, with or without a chemical agent or system, the third layer being joined to the fourth layer to serve as a substrate for the fourth layer.
