20160121546 | Methods and apparatus for hygromorphic shape control - A composite film includes a substrate that is not responsive to relative humidity, and also one or more layers of hygromorphic material. The hygromorphic material expands in response to an increase in relative humidity and contracts in response to a decrease in relative humidity. In some cases, the composite film is bi-layer or tri-layer. The composite films are fabricated such that they undergo a desired bending pattern in response to changes in relative humidity. In some cases, these bending patterns are combinations of two bending primitives: a smooth curve and a sharply angled curve. These two primitives are combined to create a variety of shape transformations including 1D linear transformation, 2D surface expansion and contraction, 2.5D texture change and 3D folding. Any type of hygromorphic material may be employed, including living gram positive and gram negative bacterial cells, yeast cells, plant cells, mammalian cells, cell debris, or hydrogel. | 05-05-2016 |

20160136926 | Non-Weft Cloth, Manufacturing Method Therefor, And Non-Weft Cloth Product - The invention relates to a non-weft cloth, a manufacturing method thereof and a non-weft cloth product. The method comprises: crisscross compounding and laminating multiple ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene thin films at certain angles into a whole to obtain the non-weft cloth; and as macromolecular straight chain structures in the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene thin films are uniformly distributed, the probability of causing damages to the interior of the thin films in the manufacturing process of the non-weft cloth is relatively low, the defects of breaking, distortion, intertwining, knotting, non-uniform arrangement and the like can be avoided, when the non-weft cloth prepared on the basis of the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene thin films is subject to external force impact, the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene thin films are stressed as a whole, and force-bearing points can be diffused to force-bearing surfaces rapidly to effectively transfer energy, thereby improving the strength of the non-weft cloth and improving the bulletproof performance and other protection performances thereof. | 05-19-2016 |
