Abstract: Letterpress and offset photopolymer printing plates are disclosed having relatively thin water developable photopolymer layers, which, after being developed, have ink-repulsive, non-image areas. Adhesive layers are provided in the disclosed printing plates that are interposed between an ink-repulsive coating contained in the printing plate substrate and the water-developable photopolymer, and provide a balance between satisfactory adhesive and ink-repulsive properties in the resulting plate.

Abstract: Laminate sheet materials having outer fabric layers and an intermediate non-woven fiberfill layer are provided, which are particularly suitable for use in making molded, one-piece, bra cups. The sheet materials are uniformly pre-shrunk, and include fabric outer layers that are securely rather than lightly bonded to an intermediate fiberfill layer by amounts of adhesive that substantially penetrate the intermediate layer.

Abstract: A process is provided for making laminate sheet materials, having outer fabric layers and an intermediate non-woven fiberfill layer, which are particularly suitable for use in making molded, one-piece, bra cups. The process involves the application of an adhesive to the intermediate fiberfill layer through a reverse roll technique and the subsequent curing and partial shrinking of the individual layers of the laminate structure through the application of uniform and constant pressure and heat before molding.

Abstract: A trimming potentiometer having a resistive member and a rotatable member attached to a wiper in contact with the resistive member for varying the position of the wiper thereon, wherein the rotatable member has a peripherally toothed portion and the non-rotatable part of the potentiometer is formed with a plurality of structures defining pivot points for a rotatable adjusting tool, each of the pivot points being spaced from the peripherally toothed portion of the rotatable member by less than the radius of this portion, whereby a toothed adjusting tool can be engaged with any one of the structures and with the toothed portion of the rotatable member for adjustment of the rotatable member by rotation of the tool, the structures being positioned to define different adjustment directions for the tool.

Abstract: A method for recording, at the point of sale, data arising from credit card transactions, makes use of a novel apparatus disclosed in a co-pending Application, entitled APPARATUS FOR RECORDING AND PROCESSING CREDIT TRANSACTION DATA, Ser. No. 132,050. More particularly, the method involves simultaneously recording credit transaction data on both a customer credit receipt and on a single line of data paper. The data paper is advanced after each sale, thereby producing a line by line description of each individual credit transaction. Since the data paper is capable of direct input to a computer, for conversion to separate customer statements, it reduces the amount of manual and machine handling of billing information.
