A method for producing high strength three piece steel can body and cans produced therewith.

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 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.

An apparatus for fabricating an elastic nonwoven material generally includes a first bonding module and a second bonding module. The second bonding module is positionable in close proximity to the first bonding module. At least one of the first bonding module and the second bonding module has a face with a width dimension and a circumferential axis and is rotatable about a rotation axis. The face has a plurality of ridges. The ridges are positioned such that at least two adjacent ridges overlap along the circumferential axis.

A method of making a one-way gas release valve for releasing gas pressure from within a coffee container comprises pre-oiling a relatively narrow dry strap of flexible material and laminating the pre-oiled dry strap between relatively wide ribbons of base and cover material with the dry strap overlying spaced vent patterns in the base material. Alternatively, the base material may be pre-oiled or both the base material and the dry strap may be pre-oiled. The dry strap and base may be made of PET and the cover may be made of mPET. Gas release valves are then die cut from the resulting web with each valve containing a vent pattern. Pre-oiling of the dry strap and/or the base can be accomplished through a roll metered process to insure that the oil is applied in precise amounts and with consistent thickness and coverage. Since the oil is applied during fabrication of the gas release valves, the vent patterns in the base can be configured to function also as a filter to prevent coffee grinds from migrating into the valve.

Provided is a resin-coated metal sheet for a container having a resin layer (A) having a multi-layer structure containing polyester as a main component on an inner-surface side of the container when the metal sheet is formed into the container. The resin layer (A) contains terephthalic acid in an amount of 85 mol % or more, the resin layer (A) has at least two layers including an uppermost resin layer (a1) which comes into contact with contents and contains wax compounds in an amount of 0.10 mass % or more and 2.0 mass % or less with respect to the uppermost resin layer (a1), with respect to a Raman band of 1615 cm.sup.?1 determined by performing Raman spectroscopy on the uppermost resin layer (a1), the maximum value of the peak intensity ratio (I.sub.MD/I.sub.ND) of peak intensity in a longitudinal direction to peak intensity in a thickness direction is 1.0 or more and 4.0 or less, a thickness of the uppermost resin layer (a1) is 0.5 ?m or more and 10 ?m or less, and a thickness of the resin layer (A) excluding the thickness of the uppermost resin layer (a1) is 5 ?m or more and 20 ?m or less.

A carpet tile having a greige good, an adhesive layer, and a secondary backing material. The greige good has a primary backing component and a plurality of fibers attached to the primary backing component. The adhesive layer has an adhesive composition and a reinforcement material that is at least partially embedded within the adhesive composition. The adhesive layer is applied to a back surface of the primary backing component. The secondary backing material is adhered to the primary backing component by contact with a portion of the adhesive composition that flows through the reinforcement material. The reinforcement material and the secondary backing material are co-laminated onto the adhesive composition.

Provided is a prepreg in which gas barrier properties in a case of being molded into a molded product are improved. In the prepreg of the present invention, a thermoplastic resin with which a carbon fiber base material is impregnated, and the thermoplastic resin comprises a vinyl alcohol-based polymer.

A method of manufacturing a coextruded and/or laminated and biaxially oriented composite film and a resulting multilayered film which has improved processability and/or improved recyclability. For this purpose, the method and multilayered film provides a novel combination of the density of various layer components of the composite film and certain manufacturing parameters such as the stretching factors, relaxation factors, relaxation temperatures, and residual stretching factors.

A composite panel configured for use with a flooring assembly of a trailer comprises a wood substrate and a fiber-reinforced coating coupled to a side of the wood substrate, the fiber-reinforced coating comprising a base material with a plurality of reinforcing fibers, wherein the fiber-reinforced coating is coupled to the wood substrate without the use of adhesive.
