A reinforcing, baffling, or sealing device for a vehicle structure, the device comprising a carrier, an expandable material applied to the carrier, and openings formed in the carrier. The expandable material is formed of a heat activated material having foamable characteristics. The openings are formed in a repetitive pattern and perpendicular to a horizontal axis of the device. The device is stretched along the horizontal axis.

A method for reinforcing, baffling or sealing a vehicle structure, comprising the steps of providing one or more materials having a horizontal axis, at least one terminating edge, and an initial length, forming openings in the one or more materials, and applying the one or more materials to a location requiring reinforcement, baffling, sealing or any combination thereof.

A method for reinforcing, baffling or sealing a vehicle structure, comprising the steps of providing a material having openings formed within the material so that the material may be stretched to fit a particular vehicle structure.

The present application relates to the producing field of honeycomb cores, and provides an aluminum honeycomb core production method and device, the method comprises: a gumming step: gumming adhesive to aluminum foil layers and then bond the aluminum foil layers to form a double/multi-layer aluminum foil; a pre-gumming step: gumming adhesive to the surface of the double/multi-layer aluminum foil; a cutting step: cutting the double/multi-layer aluminum foil; and a bonding step: bonding a plurality of the aluminum foil strips; and the apparatus is used to produce the aluminum honeycomb core according to the above method; the method can improve the structural strength and of the honeycomb core by applying aluminum foil to the honeycomb, and the apparatus can increase the production efficiency and the product quality of the aluminum honeycomb core.

A processing apparatus equipped with a catalyst-supporting honeycomb structure, which is characterized in that corrugated plate-like glass fiber papers having a functional catalyst supported thereon and flat plate-like glass fiber papers having the same functional catalyst supported thereon are alternately laminated without being bonded to each other, to form a catalyst-supporting honeycomb structure, and this catalyst-supporting honeycomb structure is packed in a casing.

A product made from an extruded sheet or web of material having a non-linear cross-section, and the process of making the product are provided. The extruded web or extrudate is plastically deformed in selected areas and then folded. When folded into the appropriate shape, the extrudate is formed into a product having a plurality of cells. The cells may have one or more openings, allowing access to an interior of the cell and reducing the weight of the product.
