| 428044000 | TWO DIMENSIONALLY SECTIONAL LAYER | 63 |
| 20080213529 | System and Method for Floor Covering Installation - Connectors for joining adjacent modular floor covering units. Embodiments of the connectors include a film and an adhesive layer coated on one side of the film. The connectors can have a conductive component that allows electrical continuity to be maintained between adjacent tiles. In yet another embodiment, the connectors can be equipped as radio frequency identification tags by including radio frequency transponders. To install tiles using the connectors, a first tile is placed on the floor and a connector is positioned so that the adhesive layer faces upward and does not contact the floor. The connector is typically positioned so that only a portion of the adhesive layer adheres to the underside of the tile, leaving the remainder of the connector extending from the underside of the tile. One or more tiles are then positioned adjacent the first tile so that a portion of the connector adheres to the adjacent tiles. In this way, the connectors span adjacent tile edges. The tiles are assembled on an underlying flooring surface without the need to attach them to the floor surface. Rather, the tiles are linked to each other with the connectors, so that the tiles create a floor covering that “floats” on the underlying floor surface. Additionally, the tiles need not be installed directly on the floor surface. Rather, an underlayment, such as a film or cushion or cushion composite, may be positioned on the floor surface prior to the installation of tiles. | 09-04-2008 |

| 20150140252 | VARIABLE INTERLAYER LAMINATE PANELS AND METHODS OF FORMING THE SAME - A variable interlayer laminate panel can include resin material derived from other resin panels, enabling use of waste trimmings from the manufacture of the other resin panels. Implementations therefore enable manufacturers to produce high-fashion but waste conscious resin panels that have a high degree of recycled content. In one implementation, a manufacturer forms a laminate panel by positioning a plurality of independent resin portions over a first resin substrate, and then by positioning a second resin substrate over the resin portions. The resin portions comprise embedded decorative elements, and at least two different resin portions comprise different types of decorative elements. The manufacturer then forms the laminate panel through the application of pressure and heat. The resulting panel has a variable interlayer formed from the independent resin portions. The laminate panel is usable as part of a panel system. | 05-21-2015 |

| 20090136702 | LAMINATED ARMOR HAVING A NON-PLANAR INTERFACE DESIGN TO MITIGATE STRESS AND SHOCK WAVES - The invention is directed to an armor laminate, transparent or non-transparent, comprising a plurality of layers, said laminate having at least one non-planar interface between at least two adjacent layers laminate. In transparent armor embodiments the laminate is a transparent laminate in which each transparent layer is individually selected from the group consisting of transparent glass, glass-ceramics, polymer and crystalline materials. In non-transparent armor laminates the individual layers are typically non-transparent layers such as non-transparent glass-ceramics, aluminum, titanium, steel, and metal alloys. The non-planar interface surfaces according to the invention can be of any non-planar shape. Examples of such shapes, without limitation, include concave/convex, zigzag or sinusoidal shapes. | 05-28-2009 |
| 20110206888 | Composite Ceramic Structure and Method of Making the Same - A composite ceramic structure such as, for example, a PZT ceramic structure including, in one embodiment, a plurality of ceramic elements encapsulated in a layer of epoxy material. Each of the ceramic elements includes opposed first and second ends terminating in opposed respective top and bottom surfaces of the composite ceramic structure. A layer of conductive material on the top surface of the composite ceramic structure covers only the respective first ends of the ceramic elements to isolate the same from each other. A layer of conductive material covers the entire bottom surface of the composite ceramic structure to ground the opposed second ends of the plurality of ceramic elements to each other. A method of making the composite ceramic structure described above is also disclosed. | 08-25-2011 |
| 20110293874 | HYBRID SUBSTRATE AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE SAME - The hybrid substrate of the present invention comprises a ceramic substrate assembly composed of a plurality of ceramic substrates, insulating resin layers disposed respectively on both surfaces of the ceramic substrate assembly such that they are opposed to each other, each of the insulating resin layers being made at least of a reinforcing material and a resin, and a metal layer disposed on each of the insulating resin layers. In particular, the hybrid substrate of the present invention comprises the plurality of ceramic substrates which are in the form of a tile arrangement along the same plane positioned between the opposed insulating resin layers. | 12-01-2011 |
