Abstract: A decorative, nonwoven laminate and a method of forming, including a first side of a first nonwoven affixed to one or both of a) a first side of a polymeric sheet or b) a second nonwoven, wherein the first nonwoven exhibits a basis weight of 15 g/m2 to 2500 g/m2 and the second nonwoven exhibits a basis weight of 15 g/m2 to 1200 g/m2; and a colorant deposited on a second side of the first nonwoven. A topical coating may or may not be applied to improve durability of the printed surface layer. The decorative nonwoven laminate may also amount to a single layer of the first nonwoven, which then includes a layer of colorant and a topical coating over the colorant and single nonwoven layer.

Abstract: The invention provides a much improved process for locating underground utilities where a field technician is provided with a device that presents the location of the underground utility in context with the surroundings. The device uses a screen present an image of the underground utility in its proper perspective with respect to the surroundings using data gathered from a number of sources. The data used to create the image includes location data of both the underground utility and the position of the device along with perspective attributes such as traditional compass orientation, perspective relative to the horizon, and any perceivable movement of the device.
