A wood or engineered wood structural panel, such as, but not limited to, OSB (“oriented strand board”) or plywood, that is both fire-resistant and water resistant. The panel is factory-coated with a product that provides fire resistance. The treatment gives it a Fire-Resistant (FR) performance (for use in a one- or two-hour rated assembly). The panel also is overlaid or coated in a factory setting with a weather/water resistive barrier (WRB). The structural panel thus combines a fire-resistant structural sheathing and WRB product in one integrated panel produced at a factory prior for installation at a job site.

Disclosed are a swab flocking device and a flock blowing and flocking process for a swab. A conveying drag chain transversely penetrates through a flocking box, several swab hangers are arranged on the conveying drag chain at intervals, and the conveying drag chain is connected to a first motor. Several blowers are arranged on an outer side of the conveying drag chain in the flocking box. During flocking, a swab stick is hung on the swab hanger and then is conveyed forwards by the conveying drag chain, and several blowers are configured to blow flocks onto an end head of the swab stick.

[Problem] Upon application or film formation of a particulate matter to/on an object, the particulate matter moving with a speed is heated in a time duration from a suction port for particulate matter to the object, thereby softening or melting at least some of the particulate matter when the particulate matter is applied to the object.

[Solution] A particulate matter is heated by means of induction heating or laser in a time duration from a suction port for particulate matter to an object, so that at least some of the particulate matter is softened or melted at a relatively low temperature on the object in synergy with the collision energy of the particulate matter with the object, thereby enabling the application or film formation of the particulate matter.

The invention provides methods for producing flexible, stretchable, and/or elastic sheets and products having two or more zone having different material features and performance. The products can be comprised of material such as natural elastomers and other synthetic polymers. The method for producing stretchable products by spraying product material of different types over different zones of a workpiece former or conveyor belt.

A process for the large-scale manufacturing vertically standing hybrid nanometer scale structures of different geometries including fractal architecture of nanostructure within a nano/micro structures made of flexible materials, on a flexible substrate including textiles is disclosed. The structures increase the surface area of the substrate. The structures maybe coated with materials that are sensitive to various physical parameters or chemicals such as but not limited to humidity, pressure, atmospheric pressure, and electromagnetic signals originating from biological or non-biological sources, volatile gases and pH. The increased surface area achieved through the disclosed process is intended to improve the sensitivity of the sensors formed by coating of the structure and substrate with a material which can be used to sense physical parameters and chemicals as listed previously. An embodiment with the structures on a textile substrate coated with a conductive, malleable and bio-compatible sensing material for use as a biopotential measurement electrode is provided.

The present invention relates to a process for the spraying of microfibrillated cellulose (MFC), which has a comparatively high solids content, onto a surface, thus forming a stable and homogeneous film coating of MFC on said surface. Therein, the MFC of the comparatively high solids content is subjected to a pressure drop in a nozzle, which pressure drop exerts shear pressure onto the MFC, thus lowering the viscosity during the spraying and coating process.

Provided is a seamless composite roofing system for a gravel built up surface. The system includes a first fluid application flood coat of bentonite emulsion applied over a gravel built up surface at a rate of 15 gallons per 100 square feet and a second fluid application flood coat of bentonite emulsion applied at a rate of 10 gallons per 100 square feet. The second flood coat includes approximately 3 to 6 pounds of chopped reinforced fiberglass per 100 square feet, and is applied over the first flood coat after the first flood coat cures. A fiberglass reinforcement layer with approximately 3 to 6 pounds chopped reinforced fiberglass per 100 square feet is applied over an area surrounding any roof top penetrations, followed by an elastic trowel grade mastic layer. An asphalt primer is then applied over the second flood coat, followed by a reflective Energy Star Rated top coat.
