  • Patent number: 11915620
    Abstract: Provided is an anti-static and high-heat resistant label sheet comprising a film, metallic interlayer, and adhesive. The metallic interlayer comprises pigments that are smoother, have a rounded edge, and result in a more homogenous thickness with minimal to no surface defects, which allow for increased reflectivity and vibrancy of the pigments and label sheet. The pigments are also aligned as to form channels within the metallic interlayer for dispersing and preventing buildup of static electricity. The label sheet may further comprise a printable top coat, primer coating, a colored coating, and a liner layer. The printed label sheets may be used for asset tracking and security labeling, such as barcoding products and inventory. The metallic color and reflectivity of the label sheets, and the die-cut labels thereon, may enable readability of the barcodes with a handheld scanner up to 24 inches distance.

  • Patent number: 11760069
    Abstract: Systems and methods for using, configuring, and manufacturing self-obscuring tamper-evident labels can include producing labels that have adhesive and non-adhesive sides. The non-adhesive side can be configured to receive printing such as machine-readable codes. The labels typically have multiple layers which can be configured for various tasks. For example, one layer can be configured as an irreversible void material that generates indicia upon receiving a certain tension associated with removal from a surface. Another layer may be configured to ease the removal of the label from a surface while another generates deformations under tension. The indicia, deformations, and machine-readable code printed on the non-adhesive side can be configured such that when activated, the indicia render the machine-readable code unreadable via machine.

  • Patent number: 11137298
    Abstract: An all-fabric iontronic supercapacitive pressure sensing device utilizing a novel iontronic nanofabric as the sensing element is disclosed. The sensing device can be applied in several various wearable health and biomedical applications on complex body topologies. As an alternative to conventional flexible sensors, the all-fabric iontronic pressure sensor provides an ultrahigh device sensitivity with a single Pascale resolution. The device also allows rapid mechanical responses (in the milliseconds range) for high-frequency biomechanical signals, e.g., blood pressure pulses and body movements. The fabrication process for the device is low-cost highly compatible with existing industrial manufacturing processes.

  • Patent number: 11138913
    Abstract: The present invention provides a static display along with manufacturing processes of the said static display. The static display comprises two or three distorted images adapted on a corrugated sheet in the form of segments in such a way that only one or two images are distinctly visible at a predetermined angle at a time due to optical illusion created as the spaces of the corrugations are not visible when the display of the present invention is viewed at the predetermined angle.
