A method of duplicating texture and pattern of a natural material using a low temperature embossing process is provided. More particularly, in the method of duplicating texture and pattern of a natural material using a low temperature embossing process, a polymer resin having low glass transition temperature is coated on a surface of the natural material and then low temperature embossing process is performed thereon at a specific temperature and a specific pressure to duplicate a distinct texture and a fine pattern of the natural material as they are, thereby improving luxurious and aesthetic properties and achieving a large area and mass production, such that it may be applied to interior and exterior materials of a car, a case of a cellular phone and a laptop, home appliances, or the like.

A blow molded monolayer article. The article has a hollow body defined by a wall. The wall has one or more regions comprising a first composition and one or more regions formed by a second composition.

This invention relates to a stand for supporting hay bales above the ground. The inventive hay stand The device is formed in the shape of an rectangular prism or cuboid from an inert plastic, closed-cell, polyurethane structural foam that will not allow water or air to move through it. The devices are constructed by pouring the structural foam material into forms that are constructed to yield the desired shape. The structural foam has two chemicals that are mixed and then poured into the form. The foam then heats and rises to take on the shape of the interior of the form. Once the foam is fully cured, the forms are removed, and the device is ready for use. Hay stands constructed in accordance with the present invention are useful for protecting hay bales from spoilage due to ground moisture.

Medicated starch-based powder formulations are packaged to ensure the medication remains stable for a desired shelf life. The medicated starch-based powder formulation may be packaged in a sealed container so as to maintain medicament functionality for at least one year. The container may be fabricated and/or lined with a low permeability coefficient and sealed with a foil heat induction seal liner. The container may be treated with a media to alter the surface properties of the container to increase the integrity of the container. The medicated starch-based powder formulation may include cornstarch and menthol.

A hollow fiber membrane is formed by embedding a braid having a spiral open weave of monofilaments only, to avoid a whiskering problem. The open weave is characterized by contiguous, circumferential, rhomboid-shaped areas of polymer film separated by monofilaments. When the braid is supported on a plasticized PVA cable having a scalloped periphery, the braid can be infiltrated with membrane polymer which, when coagulated, embeds the braid positioning it around the lumen. The embedded spiral weave, free of any circumferentially constricting monofilament, allows the membrane to be biaxially distensible. The membrane has give not only in the axial or longitudinal direction but also in the radial direction. Give in the radial direction permits soiled membranes to be backwashed under higher pressure than in a comparable braid which is not radially distensible.

A non-slip cold-resistant loop mat and a manufacturing method therefor. The non-slip cold-resistant loop mat includes a non-slip mesh layer (1) and a loop layer arranged on the non-slip mesh layer (1); the loop layer includes a flat loop base layer, and a plurality of vertical filaments (2) and a plurality of arched loops (3) erected on the loop base layer; both the vertical filaments (2) and the arched loops (3) are provided with particles (4); the non-slip mesh layer (1) is of a porous structure; upper ends of the vertical filaments (2) extend upwards; the arched loops (3) are vertically arranged; and the particles (4) are fixed on the vertical filaments (2) and the arched loops (3) in an adhesive manner. The influence of the temperature on the overall hardness of the loop mat is small, and the anti-slip performance of the loop mat is improved.
