Abstract: Methods for forming a composite by combining a perforated face layer and a backing scrim to make a material having sufficient airflow, tear strength and aesthetic features applicable to seating.

Abstract: A method of advertisement filtering including receiving advertisements from a multiple of access controls; filtering the received advertisements based on a credential on the mobile device; comparing the filtered received advertisements and determining a user intent to access a particular access control in response to the comparing and to a destination intent.

Abstract: A PU printing method and system including a textile component; and a rotary screen device component. More specifically, the system can include: a source of PU material; a rotary screen containing a squeegee blade or magnetic roller that is connected to the PU material source; means to carry the textile in proximity to the rotary screen and in position to receive a print; and a source of pressure, hydrodynamic or magnetic, to force the PU through the rotary screen and onto the textile.

Abstract: A composite material formed by combining a polyurethane material with an unclickable foam layer and a scrim layer through roll and flat form technology. The composite material is embossed to form pillowlike chambers or cells delineated by a network of emboss pattern lines formed by the bonding between these layers.

Abstract: A dissolved gas flotation pressure reduction nozzle (60) comprises: an integrally molded plastics component (61) comprising a discharge spout (62), an impingement plate (64) and one or more fins (66) extending from the impingement plate (64) in the radially outwards and downstream directions; and a control plate (75) upstream of the impingement plate (64).

Abstract: A dissolved gas flotation apparatus (10) comprises: —a flotation tank (18) having an upstream contact zone by a baffle (9) from a downstream clarification zone; —one or more pressure reduction nozzles (28) arranged to discharge into the contact zone of the flotation tank (18); —a flow-straightening arrangement including two or more plate-like barriers (104) in the contact zone of the flotation tank (18), wherein: each barrier (104) has walls, the walls of the barriers (104) together defining flow paths in a desired direction; and each barrier (104) provides a barrier to horizontal flow perpendicular to the desired flow direction.

Abstract: A dissolved gas flotation apparatus (10) comprises: —a flotation tank (18); —one or more pressure reduction nozzles (28) arranged to discharge into the flotation tank (18); —an underflow exit baffle (19) defining the upper part of an exit channel (70) from the flotation tank (18); and —a plurality of flow-contacting members (44) arranged within the flotation tank exit channel. The flow-contacting members (44) may include one or more of vanes; bubble-forming members; bubble-capturing members; bubble-coalescing members; turbulence-introducing members; flow-redirecting members; pressure-increasing or pressure-decreasing members; members which introduce a pressure difference in the flow; and velocity-increasing or velocity-decreasing members.

Abstract: Stand alone structure for the sole purpose of collecting rainwater. Four radial arms attached to a trunk support a tarp. Rain falling on the tarp falls into four funnels at the four ends of the tarp. These funnels feed into piping and then in turn into a water tank. Water is then accessible from the valve of the tank.

Abstract: A fluidizing mat has an upper, micro-perforated sheet and a lower gas impermeable sheet. The upper and lower sheets are maintained in spaced apart superimposed relationship by a plurality of spaced-apart load bearing means, e.g. encapsulated air bubbles, which define a plurality of passageways that extend in different directions over substantially the full area of the fluidizing mat and intersect with each other to form a single continuous chamber between the upper and lower sheets.

Abstract: A blister fabric of a knit or woven construction may be needle punched to produce internal connections of filaments or fibers from yarns extending into, and/or between, the yarns of an adjacent layer. Interconnections of fibers among separate layers are produced by needles which enter a first layer and then carry fibers from the first layer to a second adjacent layer within the blister of the fabric. Such interconnected fibers which bridge or span multiple layers in the fabric serve to strengthen the blister fabric, making the fabric more resistant to abrasive forces.
