In some embodiments the surface reinforcing component comprises at least one anchoring feature embedded in a structural feature of the helmet, such as a force absorbing element. In other embodiments, the surface reinforcing component comprises fasteners configured to mate with a respective fastener on a shell of the helmet.

Provided are a biodegradable sheet with antiviral properties, a manufacturing method thereof, and the use thereof. The biodegradable sheet comprises: a biodegradable polymer resin consisting of a polylactic acid-based polymer; or a composite degradable polymer resin comprising of a biodegradable resin and a petrochemical resin; and particles of an inorganic antiviral agent or aggregated composite particles of at least two inorganic antiviral agents incorporated into the biodegradable sheet so that the inorganic antiviral agent can be dispersed with a particle size of 100 to 900 nm.

A head-mounted display may include a frame for supporting an electronic display for viewing by an intended user donning the head-mounted display. The frame may include a flange disposed on a perimeter area of the frame and a facial interface configured to abut against an intended user's face wherein the facial interface comprises a foam body and an undercut region in the foam body that is sized and shaped for detachably engaging with the flange of the frame. Various other apparatuses, systems, and methods are also disclosed.

The present invention relates to a molding made of reactive foam, wherein at least one fiber (F) is arranged partially inside the molding, i.e. is surrounded by the reactive foam. The two ends of the respective fiber (F) not surrounded by the reactive foam thus each project from one side of the corresponding molding. The reactive foam is produced by a mold foaming process. The present invention further provides a panel comprising at least one such molding and at least one further layer (S1). The present invention further provides processes for producing the moldings according to the invention from reactive foam/the panels according to the invention and also provides for the use thereof as a rotor blade in wind turbines for example.

A resin sheet is provided that provide both light-weight properties and mechanical strength using a thermoplastic resin with high deflection temperature under load. The resin sheet is formed from a thermoplastic resin, including: a core layer being a foam resin layer; and skin layers located outward of the core layer as determined along the thickness direction, the core and skin layers forming a continuity. The core layer includes a region A1 and regions A2 each located between the region A1 and the associated skin layer. The regions A2 has a lower average porosity than the region A1, said average porosity being lower than 50%. The thermoplastic resin has a deflection temperature under load not lower than 90° C. The resin sheet has a thickness of 1 to 40 mm. Each skin layer has a thickness of 5 to 50% of the thickness of the resin sheet.

A molded seat cushion is adapted for receiving a seat cover by providing an adhesive on either or both of a flexible fastener sheet and a selected area of a molded foam cushion surface, positioning the flexible fastener sheet to cover the selected area, and allowing the adhesive to set to permanently bond the flexible fastener sheet over the selected area of the molded foam cushion surface. The selected area features a three-dimensional contour that the flexible fastener sheet follows as bonded. A related flexible fastener product has a non-woven textile sheet and a resin layer secured to the textile sheet and carrying an array of discrete male touch fastener elements. The resin layer includes multiple parallel strips of resin, each resin strip carrying respective touch fastener elements, with each pair of adjacent strips separated by an exposed lane of the non-woven textile sheet.

A thermoset foam comprises from 0.2 to 4.0 wt. % of at least one aliphatic brominated polyether polyol, from 2.0 to 7.0 wt. % of at least one aromatic brominated polyester polyol, and from 2.0 to 7.5 wt. % of at least one flame retardant comprising organo-phosphate, organo-phosphonate, or organo-phosphite, wherein the ratio of the amount of aliphatic bromine expressed as a percentage of total bromine to the amount of aromatic bromine expressed as a percentage of total bromine is from 10:90 to 50:50.

A portable structure or hunting blind includes a floor railing or frame system for supporting side walls and a roof. The side walls and roof are formed of polyurethane foam. The side walls and roof can be manufactured by applying uncured polyurethane foam over a sheeting material, which is supported by a removable set of forms. The polyurethane foam is then allowed to cure, and once cured the forms are removed. A door and windows and floor decking can then be installed to finish out the hunting blind. The exterior of the polyurethane foam walls and roof can be coated with an elastomer coating for UV protection.

A vehicle seating system may include a seat part having a trim material positioned over a base material. A method for producing the seating system may include configuring an attachment arrangement to have an adhesive material and a non-adhesive material bonded to the adhesive material. The method may also include molding the base material onto the non-adhesive material such that a surface of the adhesive material faces outward away from the base material. The trim material may be disposed over the base material such that a back side of the trim material is adhered to the adhesive material.

A motor vehicle roof shell having a rigid composite component having an inner side facing a vehicle interior, and an acoustic insulation layer disposed on the inner side of the composite component. The panel-type rigid composite component has at least one tray-like recess on its inner side, said recess being filled with an open-pored foam material which forms the acoustic insulation layer and whose surface is flush with a surface of the composite component surrounding the recess. A motor vehicle roof shell motor vehicle having a panel-type rigid composite component having an inner side, which faces the vehicle interior, and an acoustic insulation layer disposed on the inner side of the composite component, wherein the acoustic insulation layer is formed by at least one rigid-foam or semi-rigid-foam plate which is bonded to the inner side of the composite component and compressed that its volume is reduced compared to preassembly state.
