Abstract: A method of producing a decorative pattern on a plastic card housing an etronic circuit in an injection molding machine, includes the steps of introducing and positioning a film, which has applied on at least one surface thereof a decorative pattern, in an open cavity of the injection molding machine, closing the cavity so that the film is fixed and clamped in position, after the closing of the cavity, inserting an electronic circuit chip through an aperture into the mold cavity, injecting a support composition for the card into the mold cavity, and after termination of the injection process, removing the gate or any excess material from the periphery of the card, opening the mold cavity and removing the decorated card.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for obtaining narrow tolerances of accuracy to pe and size of a rolled product rolled in a wire mill and/or bar mill including at least two sizing stands of high stiffness wherein, with the exception of the last stand, the stands are adjustable under load. The stands cooperate with a device for determining the geometrical data of the rolled product, as well as the relevant rolling operation data. The device is mounted in front of the next-to-last stand for detecting the geometrical data of the rolled product before it enters into the next-to-last stand. The measured values are processed with a sizing model for obtaining a desired exact profile shape in the last roll stand in a computer for forming a signal which is used for adjusting the next-to-last stand.
