摘要:
A multi-composition stick product (10), such as a lip balm, sun screen, deodorant, or glue stick. The multi-composition stick product (10) including a stick composition (14) molded in the container (12) so as to contact the walls thereof and be advanceable or ejected therefrom. The stick composition (14) includes a first composition and a second composition. The first and second compositions differ in at least one component, such as a medicament, colorant, fragrance, flavorant, sunscreen, preservative, conditioner, moisturizer, emollient, or surfactant. Furthermore the first and second compositions are arranged in a predetermined non-random pattern that is reproducible. Also described is the method and apparatus for manufacturing the multi-composition stick product (10).

An exterior automotive quality paint coat is laminated to the surface of a plastic car body member of panel. A dry paint transfer film is first laminated to a relatively thin semi-rigid thermoformable resinous backing sheet. The backing sheet side of the resulting laminate is then laminated to a relatively thick thermoformable substrate sheet comprising the same or a compatible polymeric material. The two sheets are joined by extruding the thick substrate sheet and using the heat of extrusion to then laminate the thin backing sheet to the thicker extruded substrate sheet. The resulting thick sheet laminate is then thermoformed, preferably by first heating the laminate to a forming temperature, followed by vacuum forming the laminate to a three-dimensional shape of the finished automotive part, such as a facia, ready to put on a vehicle.
摘要:
A system and methods for predicting structural failure of at least a portion of a wall of a fluid containment vessel. The wall has an innermost layer for contact with a fluid contained by the vessel and an outermost layer parallel with the innermost layer. The system includes strain-sensing means within a portion of the wall and surrounded by the at least one reinforcement layer including at least one conductor parallel to the innermost layer of the wall. Changes are sensed in an electrical property associated with the at least one conductor resulting from distortion of the wall of the vessel causing distortion of the at least one conductor.
