Abstract: A printer prints label data on a self-adhesive label that has a tabbed backing to produce a printed label on the tabbed backing. Also, a label feeder is positioned relative to the printer to transport the printed label on the tabbed backing away from the printer. A label applicator is positioned, relative to the feeder, to remove the printed label on the tabbed backing from the feeder. The tabbed backing includes a first section, covering an adhesive area of the printed label, and a tab extending from the first section. The label applicator includes a holder, that is shaped to grasp the tab of the tabbed backing, and a moveable element that is configured to remove the printed label from the tabbed backing and affix the adhesive area of the printed label to an item.
Abstract: A document processing system produces a digital representation of an original image by determining a background level for white space of the original image. Using the background level, the system identifies pixels not belonging to the white space. The system generates a binary image of the original image based from the identified pixels. The system then identifies image content surrounded by the white space in the original image using the binary image. Next, the system generates a block for each image content and extracts each block from the original image. After processing each block, the system reapplies the processed blocks to a blank canvas to generate the digital representation.
Abstract: A temperature sensitive ink composition including a metal oxide nanoparticle; a binder; a solvent; an optional dispersant; and an optional surfactant; wherein the ink composition is a thermistor ink that exhibits a change in resistance which is dependent on temperature. A process for preparing the ink composition. A process including depositing the ink composition onto a substrate to form deposited features; and optionally, heating the deposited features on the substrate to form temperature sensitive features on the substrate, wherein depositing can include ink jet printing or aerosol jet printing.
