A method of forming an embedded electronic component package includes coupling a substrate to a first dielectric layer, strip, or panel, and forming first electrically conductive vias and traces in the first dielectric layer. A cavity is then formed in the first dielectric layer and an electronic component is attached in the cavity. A second dielectric layer, strip, or panel, is then applied to the first dielectric layer, thereby encasing the electronic component in dielectric. Second via apertures are then formed through the second dielectric layer to expose selected electronic component bond pads and/or selected first electrically conductive vias and traces. The second via apertures are then filled with an electrically conductive material to form second electrically conductive vias electrically coupled to selected bond pads and selected first electrically conductive vias and traces.

Compositions, kits, and methods for repairing bonds, for example, disulfide bonds, in hair or on the skin are disclosed. The compositions provide improved conditioning benefit for dry hair or moisturize the skin. The compositions also provide a long lasting moisturized feel and smooth feel to the skin or hair, without feeling greasy. The compositions contain one or more compounds that covalently bind at least two thiol groups in the hair or on the skin. Use of the binding compositions prevents reversion of the repaired bonds to their free thiol state, for at least one week or one month, or more, after a single application of the composition. Improved methods of styling hair, for example permanent hair waving, hair curling, hair coloring or highlighting, and hair straightening, are also provided.

The compositions provide improved conditioning benefit for dry hair or moisturize the skin. The compositions also provide a long lasting moisturized feel and smooth feel to the skin or hair, without feeling greasy. The compositions contain one or more compounds that covalently crosslink at least two thiol groups in the hair or on the skin. Use of the crosslinking compositions prevents reversion of the repaired bonds to their reduced (thiol) state, for at least one week, one month, six months, or one year, after a single application of the composition. Improved methods of styling hair, for example permanent hair waving, hair curling, and hair straightening are also provided.

A gypsum board having glass fiber reinforcement. The glass fiber has sizing promoting bonding with a gypsum matrix. The glass fibers are added to the gypsum matrix cia a non-woven glass fiber mat bonded initially with a dissolvable or reversible binder to maintain the three dimensional architecture of the non-woven glass fiber mat during handling and insertion into a cast wet gypsum slurry forming a gypsum board. Upon insertion in the wet gypsum slurry, the dissolvable bond between the glass fibers in the non-woven glass fiber mat dissolves and allows the sizing coating on the glass fibers to make intimate contact with the gypsum matrix. In case of the reversible bond, the bond adhesive hydrolyzes during the gypsum board drying cycle providing intimate contact between the sizing coated glass fibers and the gypsum matrix. The non-woven glass fiber mats bonded to the gypsum matrix provides improved strength and flexure resistance of the gypsum board.

A ceramic sheet has a burr height on the periphery of the sheet of ±100 μm or less and/or a dimple height on the sheet surface of 100 μm or less, as determined by irradiating the sheet with a laser beam to measure reflected light, and three-dimensionally analyzing the reflected light with a laser optical three-dimensional profiling instrument. This sheet is highly resistant to stacking-induced loads and thermal stresses. Further, when the ceramic sheet includes a zirconia ceramic partially stabilized with 2.8 to 4.5% by mole of yttria and containing 0.1 to 2% by mass of at least one dispersed reinforcing oxide, in which the grain size of the surface of the sheet has an average of 0.1 to 0.4 μm, a maximum of 0.4 to 0.8 μm, and a coefficient of variation of 30% or less, which grain size is determined by scanning electron microscopic observation, the ceramic sheet has satisfactory strength at room temperature and at high temperatures and satisfactory durability of strength at high temperatures. The ceramic sheet is very useful as, for example, a solid-electrolyte film of a solid oxide fuel cell.

A kite in the shape of an aircraft having one or more wings. The number of wings can vary due to novel V-shaped connection members employed together with strut rod members cut to predetermined lengths. The connection members are preformed V-shaped connectors slidably mounted to spar members disposed in open-ended sleeves in the leading and trailing edges of a wing and may be oriented to receive strut members form either above or below the wing, for efficiency manufacturing, ease in assembly, and minimum exposure to breakage during operation, storage and transport. Additional connection members may be added to the spar members to receive strut members connected to additional wings thereby allowing for an airplane kite having one wing, two wings, three wings, or more. Multiple-V connectors may be combined to create hubs for propellers or wheels that rotate when they encounter a front wind. Ram air openings are utilized in the fuselage of the kite to maintain the shape of the fuselage and the angles of wings. Additionally, the wings are equipped with air scoop pockets for added stability and performance under a large spectrum of flying conditions and improved appearance of the wings without requiring spars along the out edges of the wings. Similar ram air openings or air scoop pockets are utilized in the tail fin members for increased stability and flight characteristics, the tail fins receiving air from either within the fuselage or from outside the fuselage, respectively.
