The present invention is directed to enhancing the aesthetic appearance of surfaces by the contact application of a nonwoven fabric having a three-dimensional image imparted therein. The three-dimensional image of the nonwoven fabric induces a topical modification in either the actual or perceived texture of a surface when the imaged nonwoven fabric is applied to, then removed from, the surface. The imaged nonwoven fabric disclosed herein exhibits low linting qualities thereby reducing the potential of fiber contamination of the treated surface and is sufficiently durable that the sample can be used and rinsed clean a plurality of times, markedly increasing the working life-span.

The present invention contemplates a method of forming a textile laminate or composite fabric from a plurality of woven fabric layers, with the method contemplating use of a three-dimensional image transfer device to facilitate efficient and commercially viable use of the method. Herein is disclosed a method of forming an imaged textile laminate or composite compound fabric, the fabric having a first textile fabric layer comprising a plurality of interwoven warp and weft yarns and at least one other textile fabric layer, the lamination of the fabric layers and imaging of the construct occurring on a three-dimensional image transfer device. The image transfer device has a foraminous, image-forming surface comprising a regular pattern of three-dimensional surface elements.

A filter element for use in a reverse osmosis, nano-filtration, membranes and spacers membrane-bioreactor, forward osmosis, or other filtration system, includes a permeate carrier substrate having a wrapped core tube. The permeate carrier includes a series of spaced ribs. The ribs are formed by application of yarns, strings or resinous or polymeric materials to a membrane substrate. The ribs define channels for passage of a liquid or gas permeate therealong. The permeate is received at the core tube which has one or more elongated flow recesses therealong to facilitate collection of the permeate.
