Abstract: A manufacturing assembly for the creation of laminate constructions includes a calendar device arranged to accept a laminate of three or more layers of material stock, as provided by a matching three or more rolls of the material stock. A sheeting device is arranged downstream from the calendar device for cutting the laminate into predetermined sizes, such that the laminate is kept in a non-rolled, planar orientation subsequent to the laminate exiting the calendar and before the laminate is sheeted by the sheeting device.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products are provided for enabling selective file system access by applications. An application is installed in a computing device. An application manifest associated with the application is received. The application manifest indicates one or more file types that the application is allowed to access. The indicated file type(s) are registered in a location accessible by a broker service. The application is launched as an application process. The application process is isolated in an application container. The application container prevents direct access by the application process to file system data. An access request related to first data of the file system data is received at the broker service from the application process. Access by the application process to the first data is enabled when the broker service determines that a file type of the first data is included in the registered file type(s).

Abstract: A movable material web assembly for use in conditioning a material web comprising a substrate layer and a protective layer covering the substrate layer comprising a first web transportation assembly selectively conveying said material web along an axis of movement via a material web roller; and a stripping roller oriented at an angle to said axis of movement, and is selectively engaged to strip away the protective layer as the material web is communicated along the axis of movement; and the stripping roller selectively strips the protective layer in a direction substantially orthogonal to the axis of movement.

Abstract: A method of transfer lamination involves applying a release coating to a first side of a film, applying an application layer to the first side of the film over the release coating, bonding the first side of the film to a substrate, applying a second coating to a second side of the film while the first side of the film is bonded to the substrate, and removing the film from the substrate leaving the application layer deposited on the substrate and the second coating on the second side of the film.

Abstract: A method for producing a smooth coating on a substrate includes applying a release coating to a first side of a film, applying an application layer to said first side of said film over said release coating, bonding said first side of said film to a first substrate, applying a printable coating to a second side of said film while said first side of said film is bonded to said first substrate, and removing said film from said first substrate leaving said application layer deposited on said first substrate and said printable coating on said second side of said film.

Abstract: The invention relates to a tackifier dispersion comprising a resinous material and an emulsifier, the emulsifier being obtainable by a method comprising providing an ester of one or more fatty acids containing at least two conjugated double bonds, reacting the ester with a dienophile containing an acid or anhydride group, to form an intermediate product A, and, reacting the intermediate product A with one or more polyalkylene glycols. The invention also relates to a method for the production of a tackifier dispersion, its use as a tackifier, and an adhesive composition comprising the tackifier dispersion. The invention further relates to an emulsifier, a method of producing the same and its use for emulsifying resinous materials.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method to prepare dimerized rosins dispersible in water in presence of extremely low level of dimerization acid catalyst. The present invention relates also to its use as a tackifier resin, solid or in water, and ink resin, and an adhesive composition and ink composition comprising the rosin resin.

Abstract: An embodiment of the inventive method of transfer lamination bonding a first metallized side of a film to a substrate. Then a breakaway coating is applied to a second, non-metallized side of the film after the first metallized side has been bonded to the substrate. The bonded film and substrate are then placed in an oven. The film is then stripped from the substrate leaving metal from the film deposited on the substrate. The application of the breakaway coating is performed as an inline part of the transfer lamination process thereby providing an ease of manufacture presently unknown.

Abstract: A method of creating a substrate containing multiple holographic images. The method includes dividing the substrate into a plurality of equally sized print surfaces and placing a holographic image on each of the print surfaces. Wherein the holographic image is placed at substantially the same location on each of the print surfaces.

Abstract: A freeform holographic imaging apparatus includes an imaging table for supporting a substrate, an imaging beam positioned adjacent to the imaging table; and a controller operatively connected to the imaging beam and configured to control a position of the imaging beam with respect to the imaging table. The controller is configured to control the imaging beam to image first and second holographic optical elements on the substrate, wherein each of the first and second holographic optical elements are a single pixel. The first holographic optical element is imaged according to a first parameter set and the second holographic optical element is imaged according to a second parameter set.

Abstract: A method for single-write holographic imaging involves determining a layout of a plurality of holographic images on a substrate, the plurality of holographic images including at least a first holographic image having a first parameter set and a second holographic image having a second parameter set, inputting the parameter sets into a database and controlling an imaging apparatus to image the first and second holographic images on the substrate in a single session to create an integrated holographic pattern.
