  • Patent number: 7799407
    Abstract: There is provided a bank structure which partitions off a pattern formation region in which a functional liquid is to be disposed and flow. The pattern formation region includes a first pattern formation region, and a second pattern formation region which is continuously connected to the first pattern formation region and which has a larger width than the first pattern formation region. The second pattern formation region is provided with at least one partition bank which partitions off the second pattern formation region to regulate the flow direction of the functional liquid. A partition width substantially orthogonal to the flow direction of the functional liquid which is regulated by the partition bank is less than ±20% of the width of the first pattern formation region.

  • Patent number: 7763344
    Abstract: A self laminating wristband separable from a multi-ply page form has a plurality of separated imaging areas, with one larger imaging area for receiving printed data corresponding to the wearer such as his name, i.d. number, etc., with one or more second imaging areas adapted to receive either printed information or markers which may be adhered thereto. The separated imaging areas are aligned along the length of the wristband so that the gap between them acts as a natural hinge point which allows the imaging areas to lie flatter against the wearer's wrist.
