Abstract: A thermoformable nonwoven composite containing a nonwoven layer which contains a plurality of first staple fibers, a plurality of first binder fibers having a first melting point, and a plurality of second binder fibers having a second melting point, wherein the first staple fibers, first binder fibers, and second binder fibers intertwine and cross at crossover points. The difference first melting point and the second melting point differ by at least about 15° C., and at least 95% by weight of all of the fibers in the nonwoven layer are polyester. The thermoformable nonwoven composite also contains a first resin formulation containing a first resin. The first resin is located within the nonwoven and located in at least a portion of the crossover points. The first staple fibers, the first and second binder fibers, and the first resin all contain a polymer from the same chemical class.

Abstract: Certain embodiments described herein provide methods and systems that use metadata placeholders to facilitate the association of metadata with recorded media content. Metadata placeholders, for example, may be created prior to recording content and then used at the time of the recording and editing of the actual content. Metadata placeholders can be used to make useful information, including a director's shot plan and other shot attribute information, available on-location to be used and edited by those present at recording and to facilitate the association of the information with the actual recorded content. One exemplary method involves creating a metadata placeholder for a shot, including information about the shot in the metadata fields of the metadata placeholder, and then storing the placeholder's metadata with the content that is recorded for the shot.
