Abstract: A hand-held and mountable Tongs type embossing art tool having two extended arms joined, with their open ends bent towards each other to create teeth-type tips. Media is pressed between the tips manually to form embossing art. For mechanically pressing, first rivet the rotating pressure plate at the joined of the two arms, then fix the embossing tool on the transparent engraving channel block-cum-tongs embossing tool holder having rotating holder strip. Apply pressure by rotating the pressure plate and slide paper between the two tips to create embossing art. Use the engraving template block with stylus of various tip sizes and shapes as in channel shapes like French curve and straight line with variously colored borders printed at the edge of the channels. Where card paper is to be rested upon the desired channel, pressing and sliding the stylus in the groove of the channel, create your own embossed art.

Abstract: A TPMS transmitter (100) fixing structure, comprising a valve stem and a core rod (200) in the middle of the valve stem, the core rod (200) having a connector suitable for connecting to the TPMS transmitter (100), and also comprising a protruding part protruding outward along the radial direction of the valve stem, such that, when the valve stem is mounted on a wheel rim (300) of an automobile, the protruding part is in contact with the wheel rim (300); adding a protruding part to the valve stem can counteract the rotational torque produced by the eccentricity and centrifugal force of the transmitter to forcefully prevent rotation of the transmitter during operation, and limits the mounting direction of the TPMS transmitter, ensuring that the TPMS transmitter is not biased when mounted on the wheel rim, and effectively reducing the risk of the loss of function or reduction in performance of the TPMS transmitter due to biased or backward mounting of the TPMS transmitter.

Abstract: A security device is disclosed that has an image formed upon a substrate. The image has a first printed region and a second different printed region both printed with a same ink formulation of field alignable flakes. At least one of the printed regions has optically variable effects. One of the first and second printed regions at least partially surrounds the other. The second printed region is formed of thin parallel lines and the first printed region has substantially wider lines than are printed in the second printed region. The area density of the ink in a line in the first group of wider lines is greater than the area density of a line in the second group of narrower lines. A surprising effect of this image is that particles or flakes in the ink are field aligned so as to produce a visible kinematic dynamic effect visible in the first region and not visible in the second region when the image is tilted or rotated.
