Provided is a process for producing an automotive glass with a member in a highly efficient and space-saving manner. The process for producing an automotive glass with a member comprises bonding together an adhesion surface of an adherend and an adhesion surface of an automotive glass using an adhesive, and then curing the adhesive using a superheated steam generator, thereby attaching the adherend to the automotive glass; wherein the superheated steam generator comprises (1) a boiler part for generating steam, (2) a superheating unit for superheating the steam generated in the boiler part, and (3) a superheated steam vessel equipped internally with one or more heaters and one or more superheated steam outlets for discharging the superheated steam supplied from the superheating unit; and wherein the step of curing the adhesive is performed by covering the adherend placed on the automotive glass with the superheated steam vessel, spraying the superheated steam from the one or more superheated steam outlets to the adherend, and then spraying dry gas.

The laminate of the present disclosure includes multiple glass ceramic layers each containing quartz and a glass that contains SiO.sub.2, B.sub.2O.sub.3, Al.sub.2O.sub.3, and M.sub.2O, where M is an alkali metal. The B concentration of a surface layer portion of the laminate is lower than the B concentration of an inner layer portion of the laminate.

A method for producing a panel including a core and a decorative surface layer is disclosed. The method includes the step of applying a dry powder layer on the core. The method includes the step of applying steam on a dry powder layer on the core. Thereafter heat and pressure are applied to the powder layer in order to bond the powder together.

A composite fiber web having superior heat resistance and sound absorption and including a center layer containing a carbon fiber and a heat-resistant layer, and to a method of manufacturing the same. The method of the present invention can exhibit a fast manufacturing speed through a melt-blowing process that will generate economic benefits. The composite fiber web includes a composite layer and individual layers with various fiber diameters resulting in a superior sound absorption rate. The PET fiber included in the heat-resistant layer of the composite layer is an environmentally friendly material with superior heat resistance due to the inclusion of ultrafine fiber. Also, the composite fiber web has superior strength, conductivity, and electromagnetic shielding and deodorization effects, which allows it to be widely utilized for sound absorption materials and in all application fields thereof.

A tool for fixing a protective textile sleeve about an elongate member contained therein and method of use thereof is provided. The tool includes a clamp assembly having opposed clamp members attached to one another for pivotal movement relative to one another between an open state and a closed state. The clamp members have clamping surfaces, wherein at least one of the clamping surfaces has at least one outlet. A fluid source is arranged in fluid communication with the at least one outlet, and a heat source is configured to heat fluid from the fluid source to create steam. The steam is dispensed outwardly from the at least one outlet to cause an adhesive on the sleeve to become activated to bond with an adjacent abutting surface.
