  • Patent number: 11527177
    Abstract: Tamper-evident features for containers. A tamper-evident film is target printed onto a sheet material that is thermoformable. The sheet is thermoformed into a container base or lid having a desired shape, such that the tamper-evident film is positioned in a desired area. A container lid is disposed on the container base, and heat sealed to a rim or edge of the container base. The heat sealing activates an adhesive of the tamper-evident film, and when the container lid is removed or separated from the container base, a first portion of the tamper-evident film remains on the container lid and a second portion remains on the container base. The separation of the tamper-evident film provides an indication of tampering.

  • Patent number: 11524792
    Abstract: A surface liner member includes an external wall which is provided with multiple holes, a spacer structure, and tubes which are respectively associated with the holes in the external wall. The surface liner member is intended to be applied to a base surface in order to reduce, by acoustic absorption, an acoustic wave reflected on this base surface. The acoustic absorption efficiency is improved, particularly for frequencies below 500 Hz, by varying the shape of the holes in the external wall such that the ratio of the hole perimeter to the hole area varies. Such a surface liner member may be adapted to form a surface portion of an aircraft engine nacelle, or of a leading edge of an aircraft wing.
