An acoustic structure presenting a front surface and a back surface is provided. The acoustic structure includes a support layer comprising the back surface, a honeycomb core comprising a thickness defined between a back and a front, and a plurality of walls that define a plurality of honeycomb cells, wherein the plurality of honeycomb cells extend through the thickness of the honeycomb core opening out toward at least the front, and wherein the back of the honeycomb core is affixed to the support layer, a mesh layer affixed to the front of the honeycomb core, and a knit fabric layer affixed to the mesh layer and conforming to the front surface of the acoustic structure.

A multi-layered composite insulation material includes a first and second outer layers having one or more of para-aramid, meta-aramid, flame-retarded modacrylic, or pre-oxidized polyacrylonitrile fibers; and an inner layer disposed between the first and second outer layers having one or more of polyacrylonitrile fibers or ceramic fibers. The inner and outer layers are bonded via needle punching, thermal bonding, or stitch bonding. The outer layers further include flame-retardant rayon fibers and a woven or knit fabric having continuous high-temperature glass, silica, or ceramic filaments.

A wind turbine component, the wind turbine component comprising a laminate of layers with an outer side and an inner side, wherein the outer side faces an exterior of the wind turbine component and the inner side faces an interior of the wind turbine component, the laminate of layers being configured to reflect a radar wave impinging the outer side of the laminate of layers, wherein a reflection loss of the reflected radar wave is below a threshold at a frequency, the laminate of layers comprising: an attenuating layer comprising reinforcing fiberglass or reinforcing carbon fibers, a polymer matrix, and radar absorbing particles; a reflective layer arranged on the inner side of the attenuating layer, the reflective layer being configured to reflect a transmitted portion of the radar wave, the transmitted portion of the radar wave being a portion of the radar wave that has passed through the attenuating layer.

A lightweight reinforced mesh, such as a surgical mesh, suitable for use in various applications, including breast reconstruction, cosmetic breast surgery, mastopexy, breast augmentation, breast reduction, soft tissue reconstruction, hernia repair, tissue plication reinforcement, tissue support and repair, tendon support and repair, tissue engineering, and procedures or other applications requiring additional soft tissue strength or thickness. In addition, disclosed is a use of such a mesh for tissue engineering, regardless of the surgical application. In particular, the present disclosure relates to a surgical mesh capable of providing enhanced support while maintaining flexibility, low density, and absorbable characteristics. Further the present disclosure, focuses on reducing the material burden of a scaffold while increasing void space to facilitate tissue ingrowth.

The disclosed garments are designed to address the need for thin, lightweight garments that adequately conceal undergarments and imperfections when in use. Particularly, the garments can conceal the garment’s construction, skin imperfections such as cellulite or tattoos, or the color of undergarments despite having a light-colored outer appearance. Methods of making the garments and the concealing material are also disclosed herein.

This disclosure relates generally to a mop head cover which may comprise an outer an outer cover comprising one or more layers of a fiber material and configured to retain a mop head within the outer cover via a retaining perimeter; and a pad comprising one or more layers, and completely enclosed and integrated within an interior of the outer cover between the outer cover and the mop head. The mop head may be disposable or may be re-usable. The mop head may be sterile. This disclosure also relates generally to a method of using a mop head cover.

An article comprises core of filler material, and a quilted textile enclosing the core wherein the textile comprises a first fabric having a cover factor between 70% and 95% and a tensile strength of at least 600 N/5 cm, the first fabric being a woven or knit fabric that is in contact with the core material, a second fabric bonded to the first fabric by an adhesive, the second fabric being a plush fabric, located on the side of the first fabric remote from the core, a first quilting yarn on the outer surface of the textile having a tenacity of at least 45 cN/tex and an elongation at break no greater than 10%, a second quilting yarn on the inner surface of the textile having a tenacity of at least 15 cN/tex and an elongation at break greater than 10%.

A knitted or woven fabric with moisture management function is described that includes an inner layer having a first yarn that is semi-hydrophilic with a first moisture regain, and an outer layer having a second yarn that is hydrophilic with a second moisture regain greater than the first moisture regain of the first yarn. The fabric has a moisture regain gradient between the inner layer and the outer layer that acts to pull moisture through the inner layer in contact with the wearer’s skin and out through the outer layer. In one embodiment, the second yarn is a combination of a core bi-component yarn and at least one outer sheath yarn surrounding the core bi-component yarn.

A multi-piece floor arrangement and assembly forms a floor covering that includes a top, or upper, rug portion and bottom, or lower, mat portion, and pocketed corner areas in each corner of an underside surface of the rug portion into which corresponding corners of the mat portion are insertable. The pocketed corner areas secure the rug portion with the mat portion when both are placed on an underlying surface while enabling a flow of air between the rug portion and the mat portion. The mat portion includes multiple interlocking sections that help to maintain the floor covering in a uniform planar shape and provide an aesthetically-pleasing appearance when placed on an underlying surface. The multi-piece arrangement and assembly does not move relative to that surface, yet does not require either a cumbersome installation or removal process.

A bedding includes: a cushion layer which is formed with a filament three-dimensional bonded member and which is breathable; a breathable water-repellent layer which is provided on the upper side of the cushion layer and which is breathable and water-repellent; and a breathable water-retentive layer which is provided on the upper side of the breathable water-repellent layer and which is water-retentive and is breathable during water retention.
