  • Patent number: 12154021
    Abstract: Devices and techniques are generally described for providing a graphical user interface. In some examples, first image data may be sent to a computing device, that when rendered is effective to display a first combination of items disposed together in a first environment and a first selectable control. In some examples, first data may be received indicating a selection of the first selectable control. In various examples, a first computing device may determine first feature data representing the first image data. In some examples, the first computing device may determine second image data using the first feature data. In some examples, the second image data may be sent to a second computing device. The second image data, when rendered, may be effective to display a second combination of items disposed together in a second environment.

  • Patent number: 4445951
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a composite material in which layers of reinforcing filaments are stitched across with filaments of a thermoplastic polymer and then interposed between sheets of the same thermoplastic polymer as that used to stitch across the reinforcing filaments. The resultant stack is then heated under pressure for sufficient time for the thermoplastic polymer to impregnate the reinforcing filaments whereupon the thus formed composite is cooled under compression in order to avoid any distortion thereof.

  • Patent number: 4380523
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a composite material which comprises filaments enclosed in a matrix of a high temperature resistant thermoplastic polymer. The method entails impregnating the filament with a first high temperature resistant thermoplastic polymer in an amount sufficient only to lightly bind the fibres together. The bound fibres are then interposed between sheets of a second thermoplastic polymer and the whole structure subjected to heat and pressure for a time sufficient to ensure impregnation of said second thermoplastic polymer into said filaments and diffusion of the first thermoplastic polymer into the second thermoplastic polymer.
