Abstract: The present invention is directed towards an acoustical component for vehicle interior that meets the foregoing needs. The component comprises an air impermeable inner covering layer having a sound reflective surface and one or more perforations therein. The perforations permit the passage of sound therethrough. An outer sound absorbing layer is bonded to the inner covering layer for absorbing the sound passing through the perforations in the inner covering layer.

Abstract: Novel imidazoles and novel pyrroles are provided. Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions, methods of making and methods of using the compounds.

Abstract: A power control device and method for a motorcycle. The power control device controls the power of the motorcycle engine in predetermined situations. The power control device controls the power output of the engine while maintaining an optimal air-to-fuel ratio to prevent backfires and misfires during combustion. In one embodiment, the power control device reduces the airflow to the engine by rotating a throttle valve. The amount of fuel delivered to the engine is also reduced corresponding to the position of the throttle valve. By reducing the amount of fuel delivered to the engine based upon the amount of airflow to the engine, the air-to-fuel ratio within the engine remains optimal for combustion. The throttle valve can be rotated by the operator and by the power control device. The position of the throttle plate and corresponding power output of the engine is controlled by the operator until overridden by the power control device.

Abstract: Novel imidazoles are provided. The compounds are useful as HMGCo-A Reductase Inhibitor. Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions of the compounds. Methods of making and methods of using the compounds are also provided.

Abstract: A pleated nonwoven product and method of constructing such a product which is particularly suitable for various automotive applications. The product is formed from a fibrous mat with the fibers within each pleat extending substantially vertically when the mat is in a horizontal orientation. Various products may be formed from the pleated nonwoven mat including automotive carpets and underpads, trim parts, trunk liners, upholstery, engine compartment liners, and sound insulators. Additional embodiments of the invention utilize a split pleated product presenting a unique automotive textile, carpet or other upholstery product and a unitary carpet and underpad product utilizing the pleated product of the invention.

Abstract: An improved acoustical system for inhibiting noise in a motor vehicle. The system comprises an impermeable layer and an underlayment adjacent to the impermeable layer. The underlayment includes a first fibrous layer and a second fibrous layer. The underlayment has an airflow resistance between about 2000 and about 5000 mks Rayls.
