Appl. No.:

9/047960

Inventors:

Shahriar Alam - Chandler AZ
Thomas A. Hunter - Scottsdale AZ
Michael J. Valle - Mesa AZ

Assignee:

McDonnell Douglas Helicopter Company - Mesa AZ

International Classification:

B32B 312

US Classification:

428158

Abstract:

An R-foam having a surface with an electrically resistive ink layer that is continuous and an electrically conductive ink layer that is in a predetermined pattern. The resulting surface is thereby electrically modified to have a predetermined resistive taper across it according to a predetermined resistivity curve. The method of manufacturing the R-foam involves printing the ink layers to the surface in a predetermined pattern that results in the predetermined resistivity curve. The ink layers may be applied using silk screening, stamping, and ink jet printing techniques.

International Classification:

E04D 100

US Classification:

52519

Abstract:

A plastic sheet exterior finishing panel is provided which includes an inner layer of foamed plastic material and an outer layer of non-foamed plastic material joined to the inner layer and defining a facing surface formed to convey a desired aesthetic effect. At least the outer layer includes at least one organic, cellulosic additive for enabling the facing surface to be painted or stained. The panel may also be supported by at least one rigid support spine disposed at least along a portion of the length of the sheet. The support spine may be formed integrally with the panel. Alternatively, the support spine may be formed as a separate material having a flexural modulus which is greater than the flexural modulus of the thermoplastic sheet so as to stiffen the panel during handling, installation and use; the separate support spine is fastened or bonded to the rear of the panel, or coextruded.
