This application claims the benefit of Provisional Application No. 60/203,926 filed May 12, 2000.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to sound control systems and more particularly to the acoustical performance of faced ceiling systems.
2. Background Information
In modern structures, such as residential or commercial buildings, an important issue for a designer to consider is the adequacy of sound absorption in interior rooms. Sound absorption can be defined as the total energy of incident sound minus that of reflected sound, and the amount of sound absorption provided by elements in a room (such as carpeting, furniture, etc.) can greatly affect an occupant's acoustic comfort level. For example, in a room or space that allows excessive echo or reverberation (i.e., persistence of sound after the sound source has stopped producing sound), speech comprehension can be difficult if not impossible.
The ability of a material or system for absorbing sound can be expressed in units of Noise Reduction Coefficient or NRC, as described by the American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM), where a system of 0.90 NRC has about 90% absorbing ability of an ideal absorber, for example. NRC ratings are calculated for a system by averaging determined sound absorption coefficients specified at ⅓ octave band center frequencies of 250, 500, 1000, and 2500 Hz.
Reverberation time is a unit for measuring echo in a space and indicates the period of time required for a sound level to decrease 60 decibels after the sound source has stopped. The amount of sound absorption necessary for a particular space depends, of course, on the primary uses of the space. For spaces where a reduction in reverberation time is critical (such as large meeting rooms, dining areas, auditoriums, or teleconferencing rooms), sound absorption areas and locations are adjusted to achieve the reverberation time that suits the room use by strategically distributing prescribed sound absorbing panels and tiles over the walls, ceiling, and possibly the floor. Such a treatment enhances intelligibility and sound diffusion in the room and, in many cases, the use of sound absorbing panels optimized for sound absorption in the speech frequencies (around 250 to 2,000 Hz), can provide a satisfactory reverberation time and preserve necessary signal-to-noise ratios without amplification.
For spaces where factors other than sound control dominate the design, such as rooms in an office building, ceiling tiles are typically utilized as the only major sound absorbing elements. While these conventional tiles possess some sound absorbing ability (e.g., an NRC rating of 0.55), designers are sometimes forced to use further acoustical insulation in the forms of batting installed above ceiling tiles or additional ceiling and/or wall sound panels to reduce distracting noises associated with human conversation and office equipment, and to increase employee privacy and productivity. Unfortunately, these methods are expensive, attach additional bulk to a structure's design, and require time-consuming and accurate installation.
Ceiling tiles are typically covered on their interior side (i.e., the side facing occupants of a room) with a facing material that has the sole purpose of making the tiles aesthetically pleasing or at least unobtrusive. To date, such facing material has not been addressed as an important element of an acoustical system.
A method of superimposing a facing sheet with a substrate to augment the acoustical properties of the substrate is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,824,973 (Haines et al.), hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. The Haines patent, however, requires a complicated and particularized determination of each substrate's optimized value of acoustic resistance ratio, where a facing material of a calculated air flow resistance is only superimposed on a substrate if it is determined that the substrate has an insufficient air flow resistance to optimize the value of the acoustic resistance ratio.
Accordingly, the present invention is directed to a simple and inexpensive ceiling system that improves upon existing ceiling tiles designs to improve broadband acoustical performance in the form of absorption.
According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a system for improved sound absorption is provided, including a substrate of porous insulation material and of a first air flow resistance, and a facing material attached to the substrate and of a second air flow resistance, wherein a total system resistance is a combination of the first and second air flow resistances, and wherein the total system resistance and the second air flow resistance are of relatively low values.
The current design recommends a low (in terms of typical practice), rather than high facing flow resistance. In addition, this current invention indicates specific ranges of flow resistances for each system element and the frequency range these elements effect.
Other objects and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description of preferred embodiments, when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings wherein like elements have been represented by like reference numerals and wherein:
The thickness D2 of substrate 102 can be of a conventional value, such as one inch, or can alternatively be larger or smaller. The thickness D3 of facing material can be as thin as around 0.010 inches, or can alternatively be larger or smaller.
Facing material 104 can be adhered to one major side of substrate 102 by, for example, adhesive bonding or thermal bonding. Facing material 104 can alternatively be secured to or maintained in place on substrate 102 by other means, including but not limited to, mechanical fasteners adhering, bonding, or otherwise securing the facing material 104 to substrate 102 along the edges or sides of substrate 102 or by otherwise directly or indirectly securing facing material 104 to substrate 102. As another alternative, substrate 102 may be manufacture along with facing material 104 as a single laminate structure. Facing material 104 can also be attached to both major sides of substrate 102 (for example, a second facing material can be attached on the opposite side of facing material 104).
Placement of tile system 100 in a structure (such as a commercial building) can be in a conventional fashion, for example, suspended in a grid below floor assemblies at a distance of around 402 mm to create an air plenum for acoustical purposes. Because the size of tile system 100 does not differ from conventional ceiling tiles (or differs only slightly), the installation of tile system 100 does not require any additional steps or training. Tile system 100 can alternatively be positioned in any other conventional or other configuration.
Unlike the Haines patent, an exemplary embodiment of the present invention recommends a low (in terms of typical practice), rather than high, facing flow resistance. In addition, an exemplary embodiment of the present invention indicates specific ranges of flow resistances for each system element and the frequency range these elements effect. The acoustical performance of tile system 100 can be separated into three frequency regions of interest controlled by two different physical parameters: total system air flow resistance (or simply total system resistance) and the air flow resistance of facing material 104, both measured in units of meters-kilograms-second (MKS) Rayls. Rayls can also be expressed as the drag coefficient of air through a material or system. The total system resistance of tile system 100 is the combined resistances of substrate 102 and facing material 104.
The total system resistance controls the low frequency region, from around 100 to 400 Hz. This is due to the fact that the wavelengths in this region are much greater (e.g., by four times or more) than the total tile thickness D1 and therefore see tile system 100 as a lumped, resistive element. The second region is the high frequency range of around 1250 to 8000 Hz. Within this region, the resistance of facing material 104 controls the performance. Here, the thickness of tile system 100 is large with respect to the wavelength (e.g., greater than � wavelength or more), and the sound wave accordingly perceives tile system 100 as multiple discrete elements (i.e., substrate 102 and facing material 104). The third and final zone is the transition zone of middle frequencies from around 400 to 1250 Hz where the performance is effected by both parameters.
To design for better acoustical performance using the ideas presented herein, an optimal tile system 100 would have a very low total resistance relative to what is currently used. For example, a relatively low total system resistance can be around between 900 to 1300 MKS Rayls. An optimal system would also have a facing material 104 with a very low resistance relative to what is currently used. For example, a relatively low facer resistance can range from around 100 to 500 MKS Rayls.
The NRC results of both analytical models should be adjusted up by 0.10 to represent measured test data for an equivalent ceiling system. Accordingly, the sample designated Improved System has an NRC of 0.839 (0.95 test result), while the Optimized System example has an NRC of 0.931 (1.05 test result), both of which offer acoustical performances higher than a conventional ceiling tile system. Indeed, further tests have verified these experimental results.
In this way, with total system resistances and facer air flow resistances of relatively low values, the exemplary embodiments of the present invention provide a simple and cost effective ceiling tile system for sound absorption, without requiring numerous additional calculations, or difficult manufacturing techniques.
It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the present invention can be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics thereof. The presently disclosed embodiments are therefore considered in all respects to be illustrative and not restricted. The scope of the invention is indicated by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description and all changes that come within the meaning and range and equivalence thereof are intended to be embraced therein.

Hollingsworth: Success is in the details
I once was a 5-foot-9 shooting guard playing travel ball in small, hot gyms across the country. I clearly remember parents in the bleachers yelling, the unique AAU team names and the concession booths selling hotdogs and Red Vines. Walking into the gyms, I would look up in the stands to see all the college coaches decked out in their school gear of crisp polos and cool T-shirts. Trying so hard not to let my nerves make me turn ball over on a 3-on-0 fast break, it was difficult to keep my composure with the pressure of the game, making me sweat through my jersey.
I quickly learned it's the little details that matter the most. Never hung my head, always gave high-five to my teammates and cheered loud while sitting on the bench. Fast-forward 10 years later, and I'm now the one in the bleachers wearing a bright red polo having players trying to impress me.
It was new experience for me to sit with the other college coaches and watch games during the recent fall evaluation period. After the meet and greet of a smile, hug, or head nod, it was time to catch up with old friends, former teammates or coaches and establish new contacts. As I spent the day evaluating players, I was constantly entertained by the athleticism and explosion that comes with youth -- the sweet baby jump shots, tight handles or sticky defense. I'm truly amazed by the way the game has evolved with players running fast as Usain Bolt and jumping high like Nate Robinson.
For a moment, I flash back to my good, old AAU days wishing someone had pulled me aside and spit some words of wisdom my way to better prepare me for this first round of the recruiting process.
Student first, athlete second. Get your grades on point. You can be the best razzle-dazzle point guard or a dominant post player dunking, but if you don't have the grades, you will never set foot on the court. Play smart and invest the same amount of effort in the classroom as you invest in the gym.
Play the game because you LOVE it. Don't play because your mom and dad dragged you on a three-hour road trip to the middle of nowhere to fulfill their lost dreams. Play basketball because you get chills up your spine for an assist or a burst of contagious energy on an And1 tape. Coaches can tell if you're a true "baller."
College coaches look at more than just you on the court. We watch how you treat your parents. Are you the one yelling at Mom for buying the wrong Gatorade, or telling Dad to shut up in the stands? We watch the body language on the bench. Are you slouching, pouting, frowning or standing up and high-fiving your teammate when they sub out? Basketball is just a piece of the recruiting process. We're always watching.
A-plus for Attitude. Get your attitude in check. Leave that trash-talking-potty-mouth-throwing-the-ball-hard-at-the-refs-slouching-in-your-seat-player at home. We don't have time for knuckleheads.
Run back on defense. One of the easiest ways a coach can tell if you have a case of laziness is by the way you run back on defense. Are you walking, jogging or sprinting your butt back? Please don't be the player who walks back on defense as your player scores a fast-break layup. Embarrassing.
In the end, just play, don't think. I can tell you all the tricks and trades of performing well, but if you if you're thinking too much, it will mess you up. If you only remember one thing, just remember to have FUN.

Oktoberfest in Dubai
The best places to get your fix of the German hop festival Discuss this article
- Picture 1 of 2
The annual Oktoberfest hop festival originated in Munich, Germany, in 1810, when festivities were held to celebrate the wedding of Princess Therese of Saxony-Hildburghausen to Crown Prince Ludwig (later King Ludwig I). In Germany the annual celebrations take place over a period of 16 to 18 days, and usually run from late September to the first weekend in October, although in Dubai things kick off a little later. With the biggest and best-known of Dubai's Oktoberfest celebrations opening on Wednesday September 12 at the Grand Hyatt and Dubai Cricket Stadium, we take a closer look at these two, plus four more spots to get your fix of bratwurst and Bavarian brews. Prost!
Grand Oktoberfest
Now in its fifth year, the Grand Hyatt's hop festival will take place in an air-conditioned tent decked out in the authentic Bavarian style. Though there are no drinks deals, there are four different types of German hops available, as well as all manner of Bavarian dishes – there will also be a Friday brunch (alcohol must be bought separately) on October 14, 21 and 28 from 12.30pm until 4.30pm. At last year's celebrations, 3,468 Nuernberger bratwurst, 822 Municher sausages and 800 pretzels were consumed, and more than 9,000 litres of hops were sold. In 2010 the brunches were fully booked within days, and a total of 6,000 guests visited the tent – in fact, 33 per cent more hops were consumed per head at the Grand Hyatt's Oktoberfest than at the original celebration in Munich.
This year, oompah band Die Kirchdorfer will be flying in from Munich's Hacker Tent to provide tunes every night. The hotel is expecting to cater for more than 8,000 guests during the period, so book early for brunch – there will also be a laides' and mothers' night every Tuesday, with deals for women. Expect a party atmosphere with plenty of people in fancy dress.
Free entry. Sat-Wed 7pm-1am; Thu 7pm-3am; Fri 12.30pm-4.30pm, 7pm-3am. October 12-29. Grand Hyatt Dubai, Oud Metha (04 317 2271)
Oktoberfest-Wiesn Party
On Friday October 7, The German Emirates Club and The Els Club will host what they claim is the biggest Oktoberfest in the Middle East at Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai Sports City. Set up in tents like the original Munich festival, the event will have a capacity of up to 5,000 revellers, and will host all manner of activities. Expect a bouncy castle, bucking bronco, face painting and a football competition during the day. In the evening, the Oktoberfest-Wiesn Party kicks off with live music from Bavarian band Bayern Express, while German DJ Sabrina Terrance will play a mix of Bavarian sounds and hits to get everyone on the dancefloor. There will be competitions for the best dirndl (a traditional Bavarian dress) and yodelling, so dig out your outfit and get practising.

There were many Mexicans loitering right outside where our door was. It felt unsafe and that we were being watched.
The guy receiving me at 2:30 am through the security window called to make sure I got to the room. I bet he was surprised I made it there! Seriously!
Bedding was minimal, furniture broken, bathroom old old old. Place was shabby and didn't feel safe.
I liked how quiet it was
How they made us checkout a whole day before the original printed checkout date on the receipt from when i first made the reservation.. i really am highly upset at the situation because me and my family had to sit outside in the rainfall with luggage. SMH
everything was in good order and nothing looked worn or worn out.
Just a little short on simple amematies, like facial tissues, ice bucket, in room coffee. Very firm materesses, too firm.
The hotel stay was conveniently located. Easy access, close to freeway. Numerous food establishments within walking distance.
The only downfall we experienced, the heating/ air unit did not work. The staff did offer to exchange room or bring in a fan. We opted for fan.
effective cleaness and changing of sheets and towels
Clean, comfortable bed, friendly and very helpful staff
The beds @ Best Western are always the best...
Everything was good as expected for Best Western.
Good location by the mall.
That bed was so hard!
Although I reserved a non-smoking room, someone had clearly smoked in the room. The front desk staff only offered to have someone come an spray the odor away. It still reeked. The carpet felt very dirty and there was a hockey team staying in the hotel so it was very loud with hockey team and PARENTS AT 2AM!!
good location
dirty, everything is cheap, the room not cleaned.
We checked in and got in our room to find a filthy room, dirty covers, roaches, broken sink and tape holding the lock on the door together. This happened in the first 10 minutes, we asked for our money back and was denied. DO NOT STAY HERE!
Everything about this hotel was horrible, from the condition of the room to the nasty attitude of the hotel staff. If you want to pay to stay in dirty, bug infested room you have found your hotel.
Facilities is fairly new and well kept. Staff was nice.
Entire 3rd floor smelled due to a number of smoking allowed rooms. They don't provide shampoo in the bathrooms. They have soap, and the kitchen has dish washing detergent, but they don't carry shampoo. Had to walk to the nearest convenience/liquor store to buy shampoo at midnight to get by. Strange.
Over all great stay
Beds could be a little softer
The staff was exceptional, we felt taken care of right after we booked and checked on our reservations via phone. Great breakfast area very inviting and the food was good too. Would stay here again. Thanks.
Clean, felt like a newer hotel and the location..
My Wife had a lot of things, close by to do while I was Working, Everyone in Suisun City Very Friendly, Bring your Fishing Pole, They Catch Salmon 300 Feet away from hotel, Pet Frindly
More than what we expected. Great customer service. Nice rooms. Large bathrooms. I would stay here again
The breakfast coukd have been better. Besides that, no complaints
Perfect location next to the highway and just a few minutes from downtown Benicia. The included breakfast was perfect, and very popular as the room was packed both mornings I went. Front Desk was polite, cheerful, and accomodating.
Thin ceiling -- I could easily hear the guests' feet clumping above me everytime they moved around the room. This actually woke me up a couple of times.
It was close to where I needed to go as I didn't rent a vehcle this time.
The entire room had stuff(gross splatered)all over the walls, doors, pictures, not to mention the carpet looked like it hadn't been clean in over a decade. I had to use towels to walk on as my socks got filthy dirty the first day. Parties too on 2nd flr.
Staff was really nice
Towels were not very clean and bathroom needed more care
just what you need if you are looking for a place to sleep, nothing fancy or you will have to check at the Marriott. So it does the job, sleeping and resting.
no iron, wireless is so so
Room was clean and beautiful. Beds had feather beds, down comforter, down pillows. Beautiful marble bathroom had robes and and all amenities. Very generous with towels. Breakfast from wonderful bakery next door was included and they pour you a glass of wine on check-in. Rooms had coffee maker, and they deliver water and chocolate later in the day. Walking distance to all of downtown restaurants, etc. Free wifi & parking. It was just perfect.
nothing! It couldn't have been a better experience
The people are supper nice
Food , there is no small store. Room service is non existent 2 hrs min Plan to travel for food and bring a small stash in case you need a snack. Breakfast is cold and takes 30 min even if you are the only one in the restaurant
That we could only stay one night! :-(
Here's why:
We're not the seller
At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.

BRIEF SUMMARY AND GENERAL STATEMENT OF THE INVENTION It is among the objects of the present invention to provide a novel method of making decorative plaques, particularly with a protective surfacing sheet and a supporting body of an injection molded plastic material, which may be accomplished by injection molding machinery without special handling or special laminating procedures.
'Another object is to provide a novel injection molded plaque which will have a protective surface and an injection molded body combined together as part of an injection molding procedure.
Still further objects and advantages will appear in the more detailed description set forth below, it being understood, however, that this more detailed description is given by Way of illustration and explanation only and not by way of limitation, since various changes therein may be madejby those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention.
In accomplishing the above objects, it has been found most satisfactory to form a facing material which is desirably a sheet of polyethylene terephthalate, such as Du Ponts Mylar, which has been suitably surfaced and backed so as to both withstand the injection molding pressure and also to conform to a desired molded shape which will be held after the molding operation has been completed.
It is necessary that the injection molding pressure be .spread over the face ofthe plaque to be produced without rupture or breaking of the facing sheet at any point.
Although'Mylar is preferred because of its strength and durability, it is also possible to use suitably coated or impregnated woven or knitted fabrics or other plastic sheeting, such as polyvinyl chloride, polyolefins, ABS,
and the like. Preferably the facing sheet laminate meludes athin layer of a varnish which may vary from 1 to 5 mils, which will tend to hold the conformation of the sheet when it is forced into deep corners or around sharp projections.
In such cases the tendency of the sheet to return to its original form might result in separation of the sheet from the injection molded backing and the loss of the faithful reproduction of the recess which has been cut into the mold located in the female injection molding platen.
The preferred surfacing consists of a transparent, relatively durable, not readily abradable thermoplastic varnish of the nature of acrylic varnishes.
Desirably the undersurface of the Mylar sheet is provided with a very thin layer of vacuum deposited metal vapor which is of adhesive character. Although aluminum is preferred, and a variety of metallic effects may be obtained by tinting the Mylar, it is also possible to use silver, gold or other materials of this nature, the Mylar being preferably transparent.
The Mylar may vary in thickness from /3 to 7 mils and it desirably has a thickness of about /3 to 1 mil. The metal thickness may vary from 1/ to 1/ 1,000 of a mil and in practice is closer to the lower end of the range.
Desirably a double vinyl layer is applied as the backing of the Mylar adhering to the metallized undersurface. For the first layer, vinyl adhesive is applied which consists of a low vinyl chloride or loW vinyl chloride-acetate polymer in low polymeric condition in organic solution, which is brushed or roller coated on the metallized backing face.
The vinyl adhesive backing applied to the metallized undersurface as just described is then covered by a layer of vinyl material acting both as an adhesive and for mechanical strengthening purposes, which may be as thick as the Mylar sheeting and which may have been rolled or calendered on, or may be laminated on. This is the preferred type of backing where the injection molding resin is polyvinyl chloride or polyvinyl chloride-acetate. Where polyethylene or polypropylene is used as the injection molding resin, desirably the adhesive sheeting attached to the undersurface of the Mylar should be of the nature of a polyethylene or polypropylene material, being a relatively soft, low polymerized material.
The injection molded material is desirably forced to the rear of the facing sheet to force it to conform to the recessed face of the mold. Desirably the platen which carries the conduits for the incoming molten plastic which is to be forced into the mold under high pressure first is fed substantially to one side of the mold and then is caused to flow, after an abrupt change of direction, over the face of the mold;
The pressure should be such as to cause the facing material, whether it be Mylar or a woven or knitted fabric or even sheet vinyl plastic, to be stretched and to conform to the recesses and projections which have been formed in the molding cavity. This injection molding preferably takes place at a pressure of about 1,000 to 2,000 pounds per square inch, and at a. temperature of about 325 to 375 F. for a period of 5 to 10 seconds.
The sheet during this injection molding is held between the flush closed faces of the male and female platens and desirably during this operation either recesses are formed in the back of the plaque, or projections are formed for attachment purposes.
Where recesses are formed, these are of such shape and distribution as to take up any excess plastic during any subsequent electronic molding procedures in Which the backing face of the injection molded plaque is caused to flow into said recesses and avoid flow beyond the edges of the plaque, which would disfigure the attachment or would require difficult cleansing of the periphery thereof.
On the other hand where mechanical attachments are to be used, prongs may be provided on the rear of the plaque to receive an attachment nut or resilient spring connection.
Desirably, the injection molded device is left in the mold until its temperature approaches about 200- to 25 0 R, where the junction of the injection molded plastic will have been integrated with the vinyl backing on the Mylar sheeting.
When the platens are separated, the molded plaque may then be removed, attached to extensions of the facing fabric on all sides. These extensions are then cut off so that the body portion of injection molded resin will extend below the facing sheet a substantial distance, varying from to as much as /s of an inch where desired, but preferably about or 4 of an inch.
The purpose of this extension is to prevent the Mylar sheet from ever contacting the base upon which the plaque is mounted during subsequent electronic sealing operations. This extension of the plastic body may be as little as .020 to .040 and even after sealing, with the excess plastic being drawn into the recesses, there will be a spacing of .005 to .010.
Where varnished or impregnated woven or knitted cloth or fabric is substituted for the Mylar or where vinyl or other thermoplastic sheetings are substituted, suitable modifications may be made.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS With the foregoing and other objects in view, the invention consists of the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts as hereinafter more specifically described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein is shown an embodiment of the invention, but it is to be understood that changes, variations and modifications can be resorted to which fall within the scope of the claims hereunto appended.
In the drawings wherein like reference characters denote corresponding parts throughout the several views:
'FIG. 1 is a fragmentary diagrammatic transverse' sectional view of the sheeting material which is used for facing purposes.
FIG. 2 is a diagrammatic transverse sectional view showing the platens of an injection molding machine closed to permit injection of a plastic material to form the body of the plaque.
FIG. 3 is a transverse vertical sectional view similar to FIG. 2 showing the platens separated and the plaque ready to be separated from the mold.
FIG. 4 is a top perspective view upon an enlarged scale as compared to FIGS. 2 and 3 showing the finished plaque.
FIG. 5 is a transverse sectional view upon the line 5- of FIG. 4.
FIG. 6 is a fragmentary transverse sectional view showing an alternative construction, where a mechanical attachment prong is provided; and
FIG. 7 is an alternative fragmentary transverse sectional view showing an edge of the plaque having a somewhat different cross section.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Referring to FIG. 1, there is shown the facing sheet A in the form of a laminate. The various thicknesses may be diiferent from those shown, and the principal thickness consists of the main outer or covering sheet B which is desirably polyethylene terephthalate or Mylar and the main backing sheet C which may be a polyvinyl chloride lamination sheeting or backing.
These may have a thickness of .001" to .025", with the Mylar being desirably no more than /2 and in many cases A the thickness of the vinyl backing.
In lieu of the Mylar, other sheeting materials may be used. Whether cloth or fabric is utilized, and whether knitted, woven or nonwoven, the fabric is suitably impregnated, varnished or coated to withstand the injection pressure of 1,000 pounds per square inch.
Depending upon the type of plastic which is injection molded to serve as a body for the plaque, the undersheet C is desirably of a material which will integrate or be compatible with the injection molding plastic, whether it be cellulose acetate, styrene, polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene, polypropylene or ABS. Desirably, the backing sheet C is of a related or identical plastic as the one being injection molded, but in a much lower state of polymerization and containing substantially large amounts of solvent and a plasticizer ranging from 10 to 40%.
The facing of surfacing D of the Mylar sheet B may be a tough durable varnish or lacquer which will hold the Mylar sheeting B in conformation to the design of the mold, after the injection molding pressure has been released. Desirably it may be an acrylic varnish of about to 2 mils.
Among the various lacquers that may be employed are acrylic, polyester, epoxy, or polyurethane lacquers. The effect of these lacquers is that when the plaque is kept in the mold until it is cooled to a temperature of from to 250 B, it will retain fine details of the pattern and of the mold, particularly where there may be engraving or striations or delicate finishes which normally would not be retained by the Mylar.
The underface of the Mylar B is desirably coated with a very thin layer E of metal, preferably vacuum deposited aluminum or other suitable inert metals. The metallizing gives a better facing effect to the Mylar sheeting B and it also enables better adhesion to the thin intermediate vinyl adhesive layer F which acts to anchor the vinyl backing C to the Mylar B.
In molding as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, there are provided a female mold or fixed platen G and a movable or male platen H. The mold itself I is suitably formed and mounted in the recess K inside of the frame L.
The recess M, which has been cut and engraved in the central mold element J, is the reverse of the configuration shown at N in the plaque P (see FIG. 4). The laminated cover sheet A of FIG. 1 is first placed across the mold I to cover its recess M and then the jaw H is clamped home with the periphery of the facing sheet A being tightly gripped around the cavity M as indicated in FIG. 2.
The heated and liquid plastic, preferably polyvinyl chloride or other molding plastic whether it be cellulose acetate, styrene, polyethylene or ABS, is forced as indicated by the arrow 21 under high pressure of 1,000 pounds per square inch through the passageway 22 to one side of the cavity M at 23 and it will then be caused to flow at right angles as indicated at 24 through a relatively narrow transverse passage-way 25 in contact with the rear face of the sheeting A until it reaches approximately one-third the way in, as indicated at 26, of the cavity M.
This will result in the sheeting A being stretched and forced into the cavity M under relatively high pressure, so that it will conform itself to the shape of the cavity which is the reverse of the shape indicated in FIG. 4. The front face of plastic body Q will have the general configuration of the mold I, but will be less sharp because of being insulated from the mold by facing sheet A. At the same time, recesses or cavities in the back surface of the plaque are formed by means of projection 27 on the face of movable platen H. Recess 28, of which there may be a number, will serve to take up excess plastic from the body of the plaque when it is subsequently being mounted. The excess material shown at 29 and 30 may be readily removed as may the extensions 31 of the facing sheet beyond the actual molded plaque P.
'In FIG. 3, when the platen H has been withdrawn after the plaque has cooled to, for example, 200 to 225 F., the plaque may be stripped from the cavity M by means of the extension 31 of the cover sheet A. Water circulating devices may be employed in the platens G and H to achieve elfective cooling to even as low as to F.
Referring to theplaque as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the body Q will extend as indicated at 40 below the lower edge 41 of the facing sheet. The recesses 28, 42 and 43 will serve to take up any excess plastic uponelectronic sealing of the plaque P to a mounting surface.
The sharp edges indicated at 44 and the relatively small indentations indicated at 45 as well as the faithfulness of the design as indicated at 46 will be held after the release from the mold, and after the surface varnishing D has cooled, there will be no striation lines around the corners 44, 47 or 48 due to the effect of the surfacing D on the face of the Mylar B.
Furthermore, the plaque will withstand without deformation subsequent electronic sealing. Even when this is completed the amount of excess material as indicated at 40 below the edge of the Mylar facing 41 will separate the edge 41 from the back face Q of the plaque (FIGS. 4 and In FIG. 6 there is shown an extension 50, of which there may be one or more on the back surface 51 of the molded body 52, which may be held by screws or clips to a mounting face. In the alternative form in FIG. 7, the facing sheet R is provided with ridges 53 and recesses 54 formed in the top of the injection molded body S.
The facing will terminate at 55, leaving the plastic body S extending below the edge 55 by an amount indicated at 56. The transverse valleys 57 are designed to take up any excess molten resin upon electronic sealing proce dures.
The present invention may be applied to plaques where it is desirable to have a plaque covered by a decorative facing of Mylar, plastic sheeting or fabrics with an integral junction between a body of injection molded plastic and the decorative facing.
The plaque may be attached either by electronic sealing or by mechanical connection.
As many changes could be made in the above injection molded decorative plaques, and many widely different embodiments of this invention could be made without departing from the scope of the claims, it is intended that all matter contained in the above description shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.
What is claimed is:
1. A molded decorative plaque comprising: a plastic body portion having front and back surfaces with the front surface of the body portion contoured to define a decorative configuration; and a facing sheet disposed over the front surface of the body portion and sharply contoured in detail in conformance with the contour of said configuration in greater detail and sharper than the contours of said front surface, said facing sheet being a laminate comprising a plastic outer sheet, a layer of metal bonded to the undersurface of the outer sheet, and an inner plastic backing sheet bonded to the metal, the plastic of said backing sheet being compatible with the plastic of said body portion and integrally bonded with said body portion.
2. A plaque as in claim 1, and a protective layer of varnish on the outer surface of the outer sheet, said varnish layer having the configuration of the front surface of the body portion, but sharply contoured and detailed.
3. A plaque as in claim 2, in which said outer sheet of the laminate is polyethylene terephthalate.
4. A plaque as in claim 1, in which said outer sheet of the laminate is polyethylene terephthalate.

Interment, memorial service, or end-of-life insurance policy are just the same type of insurance plan with minimal protection normally obtained to manage the incurred costs of a person's memorial service. Considering that these plans might range teams it is vital to check out everything to guarantee you get an insurance coverage that is an excellent worth. If you have to look or are considering acquiring funeral insurance, you need to understand the amount of the regular monthly premiums will be, the period or period of the insurance as well as the benefits that will certainly be obtained by the named beneficiary.
Benefits of Funeral Insurance
There are particular advantages right into acquiring a cost-effective funeral insurance coverage. First benefit, due to the fact that you acquire a policy at an earlier date you will certainly pay less. As well as with the price of rising cost of living that recognizes exactly what a funeral is going to cost 10 or 15 years from now! Second benefit, when you get inexpensive funeral insurance, you family members are alleviated of the financial concern, choice production and various other issues that frequently incur with a funeral for a love one. As well as essential you can make setups for your very own funeral service. With all this you have conserved your liked ones the leading 3 decision-making procedures that occur when an individual dies.
Exactly what is Funeral Insurance coverage?
Funeral insurance is just term insurance policy with a policy face value that is smaller sized and also as a result of this will have lesser rates. It is implied to cover funeral/burial/cremation expenditures and also other additional costs. The extra money can offer to your enjoyed ones as a break while of their sorrow. A mourning period could make it tough for relative to go quickly back to dealing and deal with the general health of the rest of the household.

I have to say, This is the BEST dvd/ blu-ray Player I have ever seen !, From the minute I connected this unit (BD-H5900 ) It is Out Standing in every aspect of a DVD player. I cannot detail all of it, just wanted to get this review in for a product I really Like from a Great Company that really Does Make Better Long Lasting High Quality Stuff ! A couple of years ago I would not have said this, too many negative comments from various product reviews, ( I look at ALOT of them ) Samsung had too much going on, were developing too fast, but I really feel that is behind Samsung now. I am not connected to Samsung in any way, other than I am a real happy Customer. And I bought this Refurbished., As soon as the 4k models come out I will be setting things up to upgrade all of my stuff, as much of samsung as I can afford, Thank You

It's too bad, because there's a lot to like about the 5900. The package is nice, simple, compact. Looks well-made. The front-panel display is great. The remote is logically laid out. The UI of the on-screen controls is attractive. I have several Samsung smart TVs and haven't had any problems. That's why I decided to get a Samsung blu-ray player. The problem I'm having with the H5900 is in the apps. First, there's the fact that this model H5900 is supposed to be an upgrade to the F5900, but the apps are more limited and restricted. Instead of Samsung Apps, we apparently have Opera Apps. I don't know if that explains my bad experiences or not. The flickr app can't be used at all. There's no way to log in due to a serious software glitch. You can't even enter your Yahoo username. Sad. In Pandora, I randomly see an alert that Pandora is "unable to connect to network" even though the internet connection is wired and there are no issues with my internet( cable, 30Mbps, lots of devices connected, no other problems reported). Although the music keeps playing, the bogus alert stays on the screen, allowing only one option - to quit the app and go to the Home page. I'd like to continue listening to music and interact with the Pandora app, which appears to be working despite the alert. But "Home" is my only option. It may as well have crashed. Stupid. Also in Pandora, the unit goes into "screen saver" mode. You'd think that any button press would get you out of that mode but, no, the "select" button is processed by the app. Thus, I have inadvertently clicked on thumbs down on tracks I was enjoying, causing the track to be skipped and giving Pandora the exact opposite feedback. There's no way to go back and correct this. Distressing. The Opera speed test app says my downlaod speed is 13Mbps. (It apparently determines this in a millesecond or so.) Meanwhile, on my laptop, wirelessly connected to the same network, the download speed is 30Mbps. Another App fails. The Opera TED app just put up a network-related alert and then crashed, so I'm guessing the wired network connection is really an issue. I'll try wireless and report back here (if they let me edit my review - TBD). I want to like this unit but, so far, the software apps are spoiling the party. I will revise this review upward if I start to find apps that aren't annoying and/or broken.

By thrillhill
from Undisclosed
Product is great and easy to use, was unsure coming from a DVD player how this product works. No concerns once it was set up and saw the picture with a Blu- ray disk.
excellent BD player
By bumlbee
from ladson, SC
it has all the features anyone would need from playing your favorite DVD to watching Netflex and more. mirroring with my smart phone was quick and easy. the only thing that i have a problem with but is no big thing is that the buttons are on the top of the player and not the front but that's is why you have a remote.
this product is great for the price
By BrownsMan
from ohio
Nice for the price good picture, works well with my samsung tv.
Good Value for a basic player.
By HonokaaJohn
from Hawaii, USA
This unit functions well, and us a good value, but nothing special. It is not quite as fast as it claims to be, but is faster than others. Seems like Samsung started from scratch, and missed a few basics, like no clock. The top of the cabinet is a very funny place to put invisible controls that don't work well, and are hard to see. The remote is huge and clunky. Sure would be nice to be able to control my non-Samsung TV with the latest and greatest remote.
Just what I needed
By Fisherman59
This player has given great performance. Was easy to setup and communicate with my new Samsung LED Smart TV. Great for the price.

Yes morddwyd, and Jock1e's post referenced the RSPB page which also show it as a ground feeder. I was just speaking from personal experience having regularly witnessed them feeding on our "lawn".

Not sure what your point is.
As the first one to quote it as a ground feeder I simply quoted my reference.
There are many handbooks, by the RSPB, BTO and others but the Popular Handbook, and its parent the five volume "Handbook of British Birds" (five volume handbook!) published, also by Witherby, in 1940, have, arguably, never really been bettered, and are still regarded by many in the scientific community as the definitive source.
However, we are moving a bit away from Fieldfares and Redwings, neither of which I have yet seen this year, except as large flocks of generic "thrushes" crossing the east coast!

In my usual rambling way I was trying to say sorry and that you were correct as was Jock1e who beat both of us to it by linking to the RSPB website that clearly describes the green woodpecker as a ground feeder.
As for fieldfares I have never seen one at this current house although my wife insists that she has and the only redwing I have seen here was unfortunately a dead one caught by a neighbour's cat.

Leon County Schools elections (2014)

Leon County Schools
Leon County, Florida ballot measures
Local ballot measures, Florida
Three seats on the Leon County School Board were up for general election on August 26, 2014. Incumbent Forrest Van Camp was defeated by challenger Alva Swafford Striplin for the District 1 seat. Fellow board members Maggie Lewis-Butler and Georgia "Joy" Bowen won re-election without opposition in Districts 3 and 5, respectively.
About the district
- See also: Leon County Schools, Florida
Leon County outperformed the rest of Florida in terms of higher education achievement in 2012. The United States Census Bureau found that 43.5 percent of Leon County residents aged 25 years and older had attained a bachelor's degree compared to 26.2 percent for Florida as a whole. The median household income in Leon County was $45,915 compared to $47,309 for the state of Florida. The poverty rate in Leon County was 22.8 percent compared to 15.6 percent for the entire state.[1]
Note: The United States Census Bureau considers "Hispanic or Latino" to be a place of origin, not a race. Therefore, the Census allows citizens to report both their race and that they are from a "Hispanic or Latino" place of origin simultaneously. As a result, the percentages in each column of the racial demographics table will exceed 100 percent. Each column will add up to 100 percent after removing the "Hispanic or Latino" place of origin percentages, although rounding by the Census Bureau may make the total one- or two-tenths off from being exactly 100 percent.[4] This Ballotpedia page provides a more detailed explanation of how the Census Bureau handles race and ethnicity in its surveys.
Method of board member selection
The Leon County School Board consists of five members elected to four-year terms. Each member represents a specific geographic district. There was a general election on August 26, 2014 and the runoff election took place on November 4, 2014 if no candidate received 50 percent or more of the general election vote.
Candidates for the school board filed for the election by June 20, 2014. The county's elections office hosted early voting for the general election at various locations from August 16, 2014, to August 23, 2014. The early voting window for the runoff election ran from October 25, 2014, to November 1, 2014. The last day to request a mailed absentee ballot in the general election was August 20, 2014.[5]
