  • Publication number: 20100285249
    Abstract: A label including a base film having a front side and a reverse side, and an adhesive layer on the reverse side of the base film. The base film is a co-extruded multilayered film including at least two layers, which are made of different materials and are formed such that the base film formed by the layers has asymmetry. Alternatively, the base film is a multilayered film including at least two layers laminated together, which layers are oriented in different degrees of orientation in at least one direction of the layer. The pressure-sensitive label structures are used for wash-off pressure-sensitive labels for reusable bottles or other containers.

  • Publication number: 20100242326
    Abstract: A filmic label including a face material having a front side, a reverse side and an adhesive layer including pressure sensitive adhesive on the reverse side of the face material. The face material includes at least one surface layer on at least one side of at least one central layer. The at least one central layer includes cavities that have been initiated at initiation sites by stretching the face material in a longitudinal direction and in a cross direction. The cavities have been expanded in a thickness direction of the face material by allowing a gaseous substance to have an effect on the at least one central layer. Also a method for forming a plastic film for a filmic label.

  • Patent number: 7682871
    Abstract: A method for forming a joint. A module is introduced including a paper or plastic substrate, an integrated circuit on a chip mounted on the substrate and in electrical contact with contact areas of the module being located on the surface of the substrate. A web is introduced including one circuitry pattern after another provided with contact areas of the circuitry pattern. Settable isotropically conductive adhesive is dispensed on the contact areas of the circuitry pattern. The contact areas of the module are attached to the contact areas of the circuitry pattern by the isotropically conductive adhesive. The isotropically conductive adhesive is cured at the ambient atmospheric pressure. Settable nonconductive adhesive is dispensed at the side of the module in such a manner that the adhesive is sucked underneath the module by capillary forces. The nonconductive adhesive is cured at the ambient atmospheric pressure.

  • Publication number: 20090021377
    Abstract: A tag including a substrate bordered by an outer edge and an inner circular edge. The substrate has a face side and a reverse side. An arrangement includes an antenna and an integrated circuit on a chip on the reverse side of the substrate. The integrated circuit on the chip is electrically connected to the antenna. An adhesive on the reverse side of the substrate covers the arrangement. A part of the arrangement has a greater adhesion to the adhesive than to the substrate. First cuts extend radially from the inner circular edge. Second cuts extend parallel to the first cuts from the outer edge. A region without cuts between the first cuts and the second cuts.

  • Publication number: 20080316129
    Abstract: Tuning an antenna circuit that includes an inductance of a resonance circuit, and a component having a component impedance. The antenna circuit includes multiple connection areas for connecting the component to the antenna circuit. At least two of the multiple of connection areas are part of the resonance circuit. The tuning can be performed by selecting at least one connection area for the component among the at least two of the multiple connection areas.

  • Patent number: 7469126
    Abstract: An RFID transponder is disclosed in which predetermined conductive portions will be removed from the transponder should the transponder be removed from a first object to which it is attached. The transponder has a first response to applied RF before the predetermined portions are removed and a second response after such removal. An RF detector can be used to scan objects with transponders to detect the first or the second response and thereby determine when a transponder has been moved.

  • Publication number: 20080209862
    Abstract: A method for fastening a paper product roll entity to a pallet by continuous plastic foil. The pallet has a cross direction and a longitudinal direction. A first sequence is repeated at least once. The first sequence includes wrapping the paper product roll entity such that a first continuous foil unwound from a foil head travels over the paper product roll entity and under the pallet, and moving in a cross direction a head of the foil or the pallet having the paper product roll entity on its substantially horizontal plane. After the first sequence, a second sequence is repeated at least once. The second sequence includes wrapping a second continuous foil spirally around the paper product roll entity.

  • Publication number: 20070141287
    Abstract: A label laminate and a method for manufacturing a label laminate. The laminate includes a first label material layer and a second label material. The method includes forming a pattern in which adhesive areas and non-adhesive areas alternate on the face side of the first label material layer and on the face side of the second label material layer. The adhesive areas on the first label material layer are aligned with the non-adhesive areas on the second label material layer and the non-adhesive areas on the first label material layer are aligned with the adhesive areas on the second label material layer. The face sides of two label material layers are attached to each other. The adhesive areas are formed by a screening method. The non-adhesive areas have a surface energy, which is at least 25 dynes.
