Abstract: A thin film SAW device comprises a carrier substrate (CA), a TCF compensating layer (CL), a piezoelectric layer (PL), and an IDT electrode (EL) on top of the piezoelectric layer. A functional layer (FL) is arranged between piezoelectric layer and TCF compensating layer to further reduce the TCF. The material properties of the functional layer match those of the piezoelectric layer in view of acoustic velocity, density and stiffness such that they do not deviate from each other by more than 10% without having piezoelectric effect. The functional layer my be of the same crystalline constitution as the useful piezoelectric layer but without piezoelectric properties.

Abstract: This invention concerns patterned sheets for cleansing and other applications, of porous or absorbent material, in particular of a non-woven material, such as a wipe. It further relates to such a sheet to which a composition has been applied. The invention further concerns the manufacture and use of such products.

Abstract: This invention concerns products for cleansing and other applications, which products comprise an applicator such as a puff (pouf), pad, sponge, foam, mitt, glove, swab, cotton ball or bar, to which a wax dispersion has been applied. The invention further concerns the manufacture and use of such products.
