The presently disclosed embodiments relate in general to electrophotographic imaging members, such as layered photoreceptor structures, and processes for making and using the same. In the steel plate reinforcing sheet comprising a restricting layer and a resin layer, a curing composition is first prepared by mixing rubber components comprising diene-based rubber and rubber having a vinyl group in its side chain, with a cross-linking agent capable of reacting with these rubber components, and then by kneading the mixture. The fixation assembly retains one or more types of strength members of the optical fiber cable. The encoding of the data stream into the first frames is suspended in response to the request. In some cases, the substrate may be a porous metal, alloy, or non-nickel cermet incorporating one or more of the transition metals Cr, Fe, Cu and Ag, or alloys thereof.
