Abstract: A gas blow shaped air cushion with multiple cells is disclosed. Wherein the air cushion is formed by gas blowing shaping, the gas blow shaped air cushion with multiple cells is formed by an air cushion with a plurality of independent cells. Each two cells are retained with a proper gap, by which as the air cushion is compressed due to movement, each of the cells has a proper space for elastic deformation. The gas blow shaped air cushion has a width thinner than that made by prior art mold injection and thus the weight of an air cushion is reduced and the air cushion becomes more useful.

Abstract: A method for splicing an improved strength tape having longitudinally extended strands comprises the trimming or patterning of the strands of the respective ends that are to be joined so that the ends can be mated together in a meshing arrangement. The two ends are placed in a splicing tray. An adhesive film is interposed between the two ends and the splice tray is closed. The splice tray is placed in a compression molding press which applies a predetermined time-temperature-pressure treatment profile which cures the adhesive film. The resulting splice has essentially the same physical dimensions of the strength tape, and similar stiffness characteristics to that of the strength tape. Further, the strength of the splice is more than sufficient for use in a communication cable. Because the complete splice process can be completed in less than 4 to 5 minutes, the splice can be performed on-line with the use of a strength tape accumulator.

Abstract: As tape drawer rollers are driven for intermittent rotation, a continuous tape is intermittently fed along a tape traveling path with a leading end portion of the tape inserted through a ring at a tape folding section. When the continuous tape has been fed by a predetermined length, the feeding of the tape is stopped and then the lower end portion of the tape inserted through the ring is bent about the ring by a first bending member. Then a cutting device severs a predetermined length of tape strip off the continuous tape, whereupon the an upper half of the severed tape strip is bent about the ring by a second bending member, thus providing a folded tape strip having a laminate portion. Finally the folded tape strip is discharged out of a machine after part of its laminate portion is fused by a fusing device.

Abstract: A cordierite honeycomb body is produced by forming a cordierite material including kaoline into a honeycomb shape and sintering it. The kaoline included in the cordierite material is at least partly composed of kaolinite having a Hinckley crystallinity index of 0.5 or more thereby having a less amorphous phase portion in a kaolinite particle. Therefore, when the cordierite material is sintered, the number of micropores generated in the cordierite is decreased due to the less amorphous phase portion in the kaolinite particles. As a result, density of the cordierite is increased without increasing a C.T.E. thereof. Thus, the cordierite honeycomb body has sufficient strength even when thickness of a cell wall thereof is decreased.

Abstract: An acoustic liner is made by placing a raw adhesive septum between a pair of opposite honeycomb cores, and curing the septum to integrally bond the cores thereto.

Abstract: Heavy density honeycomb structures which include alternating layers of primary corrugated sheets and bisector sheets which are bonded together. The primary corrugated sheets are offset so that the bisector sheets are bonded to the corrugated sheet nodes so that the upper and lower bonding locations on each bisector sheet are displaced from each other. This displacement provides flexibility regions in the bisector sheets which enhance the formability of the heavy density honeycomb. The displaced node configuration is useful for enhancing thermal formability of both metallic and non-metallic honeycomb structures. The offset configuration is used with both substantially flat bisector sheets and corrugated bisector sheets.

Abstract: A method of attaching a flexible plastic film having electronic circuit traces to a rigid plastic substrate. The film and substrate are made from different incompatible plastic materials that do not bond to one another and have different CTE. The use of different or incompatible materials is useful where the properties of the backing structure and film are selected to achieve different results. For example, the flexible film may be selected from a material that provides a high melting point to withstand soldering while the backing material is selected from a low-cost and light weight plastic material that has a lower melting point. The film has conductive traces on at least one surface thereof and a backing surface. A heat activated adhesive is applied to the backing surface. The film is placed within an open injection mold and the mold is closed. A hot plastic resin is injected into the mold adjacent the adhesive.
