In addition, densified reinforcing regions can be provided outside areas where the tear line curves or switches directions. Perforations or cuts in the tear line may extend continuously around the corner of the tear line to assist tearing around the corner.

Abstract: A process for printing a two-sided visual display for attachment to a window, screen or object is provided which can be identically viewed from either side of the support surface. The carrier sheet is of the electrostatic adhesion type which clings to the support surface without glue or other adhesives. The display is formed by being printed on one side of the flexible transparent carrier sheet with quick drying inks having the final desired color. The inks are applied directly to the carrier sheet without overlap or underlayment. Each color segment can be overprinted in order to emphasize and enhance the color of the individual sections. A cover sheet can be applied to the display to facilitate handling and storage. The final product when in place can be visibly observed from either side with equal clarity and appearance.

Abstract: Laminated composites including methods for the preparation thereof comprising forming in combination in a mold at least one layer of a rigid polyisocyanurate by reacting in said mold a reaction mixture of an organic di- or polyisocyanate and a cyclic alkylene carbonate in the presence of a soluble adduct amine-carbonate catalyst, and at least one layer of material selected from metal, plastic, cellulose, glass and ceramic or combinations thereof.

Abstract: An IC card has a laminated card body in which an IC module is housed. The card body is formed by lamination of a plurality of sheets, at least the sheet which contacts the bottom surface of the IC module being made of a synthetic paper having good flexing resistance. The remaining sheets are made of a rigid polyvinyl chloride. The card body is formed by conventional laminating processes.

Abstract: Automobile protective side-molding (renamed Power Ridges for this application) can be retrofitted onto wave riding vehicles to improve rider control and maximum speed. They do this by redirecting a portion of the fluid flow causing generation of forces which hold the vehicle down and increase its forward thrust.

Abstract: A multilayered ceramic (MLC) substrate having embedded and exposed conductors suitable for mounting and interconnecting a plurality of electronic devices exterior thereof. The horizontal planar conductors comprise substantially a plurality of solid, non-porous, homogeneous metal patterns, whereas the vertical interplanar connection conductors are substantially porous metal conductors that are formed by methods such as screening. The process to form the MLC substrate involves forming a pattern of solid, nonporous conductors to a backing sheet having a release layer, then transferring the pattern to a ceramic green sheet. Zero X-Y shrinkage sintering processes allow the MLC substrate and solid metal conductors to be densified without distortion of the solid metal patterns or the ceramic.

Abstract: An element of insulating material, particularly for heat and/or sound insulation of buildings and for mounting between supports, has a body including a plurality of supports, has a body including a plurality of separate parts which are formed by at least one continuous beveled cut and shaped so that they are displaceable relative to one another during mounting and can be clamped between supporting elements.

Abstract: A composite wood panel of improved edge swell characteristics is provided by applying stabilizing additive to the exposed surface of a layup of wood particles (wafers) from which the panel is to be formed by consolidation as the layup is being produced. The additive is applied only in selected areas one adjacent each side edge of the layup so that the resultant product has in effect stabilizing additive through the thickness of the resultant panel at each side edge. Preferably the additive will be applied as stripes at spaced depths through the layup and these stripes will extend inwardly from each side edge a distance sufficient to stabilize the panel against edge swelling. The preferred additive is an isocyanate type resin adhesive.

Abstract: An optical disc in which distortion due to temperature change is inhibited has a magnetic positioning disc 3 of specified diameter mounted at the center of the disc substrate 1 having an information recording layer 2 on a specified radial area. The positioning disc is bonded to the disc substrate by an element(s) made of a material whose thermal expansion coefficient is almost equivalent to that of the disc substrate.

Abstract: A transdermal drug delivery device includes a plurality of adhesive laminae containing the drug to be transdermally administered which laminae are separated by alternating interlaminar layers within the device and extending in stacked configuration from a contact adhesive for adhering the device to the epidermis of a user. Modulated migration of molecules of the drug serially from and through the interlaminar layers to and through the contact adhesive results from the continous physical equilibration of the drug between the multiple alternating interlaminar layers and adhesive lamine which, when stacked, provide a relatively constant rate of dermal diffusion to the skin surface (dermis) for an extended period. Discharge of the drug other than through the contact adhesive is precluded by an impermeable backing layer. Side sealing may be necessary in some instances. The drug contained in this type of device may exist in either an equilibrated or constrained physical-chemical state.

Abstract: In greenhouses and other stuctures an excessive amount of sunlight on a hot day may cause overheating or may cause uneven lighting. A sheet is provided which is normally transparent but which becomes white and light-reflective at a predetermined temperature to help keep the structure cooled or help keep its lighting at a constant level. This color is reversible so that the sheet becomes transparent when the temperature falls. In one embodiment, the sheet consists of a unitary transparent plastic resin structure formed with elongated cells which are filled with a thick and viscous gel containing poly (vinyl methyl ether) or other suitable "cloud point" material. The gel helps prevent loss of water through the cell walls and prevents gaps which may occur from migration over repeated cycles of precipitation of the cloud point material, i.e., it helps keep the mixture homogeneous.

Abstract: An artificial fingernail or toenail which can provide the illusion of length, movement, depth and even three-dimensionalism through the use of a moire pattern.

Abstract: A process for producing a laminated panel core made of stainless steel includes the step of preparing a core of the laminated panel by subjecting stainless steel foils to repeated outward and inward foldings in a constant mode in one direction to make a plurality of multi-layered folded sheets of stainless steel. An adhesive is applied to a portion of the surfaces of the folded sheets and a desired number of the multi-layered sheets are laminated. The adhesive causes the sheets to adhere to one another in the areas of application of the adhesive. The laminate is sliced in a plane perpendicular to the plane generally defined by each of the multi-layered sheets into an appropriate small thickness and is extended and deformed in a plane parallel to the plane in which the laminate is sliced and in the direction of lamination of the sheets. A multi-layered sheet for use in a process for forming laminated panels and a stainless steel foil core for use in a laminated panel are also disclosed.
