Abstract: A belt designed for lead acid battery plate pasting that is rendered dimensionally stable and incompressible and is also rendered hydrophobic to allow water handling without absorption and subsequent contamination of lead oxide into the structure.

Abstract: A composite sandwich panel a first facing and a second facing over a core layer, the first and second facings having at least one fiberglass layer between an inner and an outer graphite layer.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention can provide systems and methods for providing an artificial grass system. One embodiment of the invention can provide an artificial grass system with a woven tubular-shaped fabric and tufted artificial turf yarn. For example, the woven tubular-shaped fabric can be made from at least two types of yarn with different shrink characteristics. Various embodiments of the invention can provide improved drainage, shock absorbency, load displacement, and dimensional stability characteristics for an artificial grass or turf system.

Abstract: A shaped sheet usable for the production of slabs made from a material mixture of granulated stone material and/or sand and by a binding resin includes a flat base and a peripheral frame projecting from the base for a predetermined height so as to define a seat of dimensions corresponding in plan to those of the slab to be produced. The structure of the flat base includes a first rubber layer of previously cured rubber forming a first surface which adapted to be in contact with said the material mixture and a second rubber layer of previously cured rubber, a first layer of cloth and a second layer cloth, wherein the said second cloth includes a second outwardly directed surface of the shaped sheet.

Abstract: A multilayer composite body includes thermoplastic layers and layers of natural fibers bound with thermoplastic synthetic material. The composite body has at least one reinforcing layer made of an open-cell fabric of melting fibers. The reinforcing layer is penetrated on one or both sides by the melting thermoplastic synthetic material of adjoining natural-fiber layers and is integrated there for reinforcement. The reinforcing layer can also be disposed in addition or only between natural-fiber and pure thermoplastic layers or between thermoplastic layers. Such a composite body has excellent mechanical properties, in particular with regard to bending stress and impact resistance.

Abstract: Dense, highly stable, high performance ballistic material comprises at least one woven layer of ballistic grade fiber (preferably a stack of such layers) and at least one nonwoven layer of fabric which is entangled with the woven or unidirectional layer by needle felting. The resulting core material does not require assembly of individual woven layers during subsequent manufacture of ballistic articles and exhibits excellent ballistic performance at low areal densities and thicknesses.

Abstract: A cushioning material for forming press includes fiber material layers 31 and 32 superimposed with a bonding material layer 30 interposed, an upper rubber layer 33 positioned on an upper surface of one fiber material layer 31, a lower rubber layer 34 positioned on a lower surface of the other fiber material layer 32, an upper exudation preventing layer 35 positioned on an upper surface of the upper rubber layer 33, and a lower exudation preventing layer 36 positioned on a lower surface of the lower rubber layer 34.

Abstract: A composite is disclosed which is resistant to knife and ice pick stab penetration and is made from a plurality of layers of woven polybenzoxazole or polybenzothiazole fibers, a plurality of ballistic layers, and a plurality of tightly-woven penetration resistant layers.

Abstract: A composite is disclosed which is resistant to knife stab penetration and is made from at least one layer of woven polybenzoxazole or polybenzothiazole fibers and at least one layer of a fiber network of another polymer.

Abstract: It includes two outer sheets of continuous-strand fiberglass fabric and a core of non-woven fiberglass formed by sheets of fiberglass paper, all sheets being impregnated with epoxy resin, and presenting at least one sheet of conducting material, on one or both outer sides; it is characterized in that it incorporates in the non-woven fiberglass core at least one intermediate sheet of fiberglass fabric impregnated with resin.It allows manufacturing of reliable printed circuits, even when using surface-mounted components, while at the same time its cost is relatively low; it is particularly suitable for the field of consumer and semi-professional electronics.

Abstract: A strip for dental plastic retainers or plastic dental prosthesis consisting of at least 4 and at most 8 interconnected layers of endless threads which possess a yarn count of less than 1 tex; the strip possesses a thickness of maximum 500 .mu.m; the endless fibers of a layer (10) consist preferably of colorless glass fibers in which the cross linkage of the resin which beds-in the fibers is simplified by the effects of light. Preferably, each individual layer consists of a strip whose warp threads (11) and weft yarns (12) are combined to a woven strip in the form of a plain fabric weave bond.
