Abstract:
In an embodiment, an article includes a transparent layer, wherein the transparent layer has a light transmission of greater than or equal to 3%; and a second layer comprising a composition, wherein the composition comprises an infrared transmissive additive, an infrared reflective additive, or a combination comprising one or both of the foregoing and a thermoplastic polymer, and wherein the composition has a light transmission of less than 30%; wherein the transparent layer has a first transparent layer surface and wherein the second layer is located on at least a portion of the first transparent layer surface and at least a portion of the first transparent layer surface is free of the second layer.
Abstract:
A cross-car beam, includes a plastic beam body 22, defining a first end 24 and a second end 26 spaced from the first end 24 along a first direction D1, such that the plastic beam body 22 is elongate in the first direction D1. The plastic beam body 22 further defines a cross-sectional shape 28 along, a plane P1 that is normal to the first direction D1. The cross-car beam 20, may further include a metallic beam body 42 configured to be coupled to the plastic beam body 22. The metallic beam body 42 defining a first end 44 and a second end 46 spaced from the first end 44 along a direction, for example the first direction D1 when the metallic bean body 42 is coupled to the plastic beam body 22, such that the metallic beam body 42 is elongate in the first direction D1.
Abstract:
A bulkhead (110) for separating an engine compartment (112) and a passenger compartment (114) including a support structure (320) including at least one reinforcement member (324) and a body (322) supported by the reinforcement member (324), a thermally insulative component (330) supported by the support structure (320), and an acoustic resonator (370) defining a plurality of openings that extend along a first direction from the thermally insulative component (330) toward the first resonator side and terminate at a location between the first resonator side and the second resonator side. The acoustic resonator (370) includes a plurality of cells that each defines a respective first open volume that is in fluid communication with at least one of the plurality of openings.
