Abstract: Pest-repellent pallet slip sheets for preventing or reducing rodent or pest damage to goods placed on pallets or other locations. The pest-repellent pallet slip sheets generally include slip sheets designed for placement on the top portion of a pallet, such that the slip sheet covers substantially the entire pallet. The slip sheets may be treated with repellent substance all over, randomly, or in a pattern such that a specific portion, or all, of the slip sheet is treated with the pest-repellent substance. The pattern may be produced, for example, by feeding slip sheet material past an application device at a given rate of speed, and then intermittently interrupting the application of the pest-repellent substance if an intermittent pattern is desired. A colored dye may be added to the pest-repellent substance to create a visible indication of a pattern or treated area.

Abstract: A dual-purpose concrete cover that includes a construction cover layer, a vapor retardant layer, and a wicking layer. An anti-snag scrim layer may be included under the wicking layer. One or more antimicrobial agents may be included in the wicking layer or other locations within the cover to prevent mold, mildew, bacterial and viral growth. While conventional concrete curing blankets often include a vapor barrier selected to keep the concrete surface wet well past the concrete curing period, the vapor retardant layer is designed to allow the dual-use cover to dry out at about the end of the concrete curing period so that the dual-use cover can remain in place as a construction cover after the curing period. The dual-purpose concrete cover is designed to fully dry prior to removal, which allows it to be reused, whereas conventional concrete curing blankets are typically discarded after a single use.

Abstract: An adhesive assembly can be used to join textile materials together creating a durable wash resistant. An emblem can be removed from a work shirt without leaving glue stains or residue. The shirt may be reused if emblems need to be removed or changed before the life of the garment expires. In various embodiments, a layer of mesh is incorporated into the heat activated glue on the back of the emblem. This mesh does not affect adherence to the garment. The emblem sticks just as well as without the mesh layer and with zero process changes to how the emblem is applied. The mesh allows for the complete removal of the adhesive from the garment when the patch is removed allowing the garment to be used even after the patch is removed.
