A method of making a lightweight thermal shield that includes obtaining a mold having a shaped support screen with a molding surface configured to allow the passage of air and moisture therethrough, and with the mold being adapted for drawing a vacuum from behind the support screen. The method also includes applying a wet insulation material onto the molding surface of the support screen and drawing a vacuum to withdraw moisture through the support screen and consolidate a layer of insulation material on top the molding surface. The method further includes removing the consolidated layer of insulation material from off the molding surface, installing the consolidated layer of insulation material into an outer shell layer, and drying the consolidated layer of insulation material within the outer shell layer to form a lightweight core insulation layer.

The invention relates to a container precursor comprising a wall, wherein the wall a) surrounds an interior region, and b) comprises a first wall region and a second wall region; wherein the first wall region comprises a first layer sequence comprising a first wall layer, a second wall layer and a third wall layer as overlying layers from the interior region outwards; wherein, in the first wall region, a second carrier layer is characterised by a smaller layer thickness than a first carrier layer, or a third carrier layer, or both; wherein the second wall region comprises a second layer sequence comprising first wall layer, a second wall layer and a third wall layer as overlying layers from the interior region outwards; wherein, in the second wall region, the second wall layer is connected to the third wall layer; wherein, in the second wall region, the third carrier layer is characterised by a larger layer thickness than the first carrier layer, or the third carrier layer, or both. Further, the invention relates to a process for manufacturing a container precursor, a container precursor obtainable through this process, a closed container, a process for manufacturing a closed container, a closed container obtainable through this process, a use of the aforementioned container precursor, and a further use of the aforementioned container precursor.

An adhesive article that remains securely bonded to a substrate until a stimuli is applied. The article may be embodied as an adhesive tape, a bandage, or as other articles. The stimuli may be a change in temperature or application of a reduction that causes a structure within the article to break, creak, or otherwise disrupt to expose the adhesive to a solvent, such as via a difference in Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (CTE) or by exposing the article to a glass transition temperature.

A vibration isolation apparatus 1 includes: a laminated elastic body 8 in which elastic layers 3 and rigid layers 7 are alternately laminated and a circularly columnar body 14 which is constituted by damping bodies 12 press-fitted in a circularly columnar hollow portion 11 of the laminated elastic body 8, wherein each of the damping bodies 12 contains a thermally conductive filler, a graphite, and a thermosetting resin.

A flexible innerduct structure having a first margin region, a second margin region, and a middle region, where the middle region is located between the first and second margin regions. The innerduct structure contains at least two flexible, longitudinal chambers, with each chamber being designed for enveloping at least one cable. The flexible innerduct structure contains at least one strip-shaped textile, each strip containing a first side and a second edge and extending in the longitudinal direction. All first and second edges of the strips are located in the middle region and each strip-shaped textile extends outwards from the middle region, folds about a fold axis located in either the first or second margin region and returns to the middle region. At least one strip extends from the first to the second margin region and the strips are attached together in the middle region.
