Patent number: 9898939Abstract: The invention relates to a method for providing a tire with an informative label. The method comprises supporting a tire, supplying a banding material to the tire and wrapping it in a loop around a part of the tire, holding the banding material at the neck of said loop, and connecting opposed areas of the banding material at said neck to form a label wrap. The invention further relates to an apparatus for carrying out the method and to a tire provided with the label. The informative label is easily removed by a mechanic and shows an improved processability and printability. The informative label further does not leave any adhesive or other residuals on a tire.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2013Date of Patent: February 20, 2018Assignee: Apollo Tyres Global R&D B.V.Inventors: Marcus Hendrikus Maria Wielens, Andre Douma, Sytze Attema, Bart Snijders, Christi Houwers

Patent number: 7023525Abstract: An imaging apparatus according to one embodiment of the invention includes a programmable patterning structure configured to pattern a projection beam of radiation according to a desired pattern. The programmable patterning structure includes a plurality of separate patterning sub-elements, each sub-element being configured to generate a patterned sub-beam. At least one of the separate patterning sub-elements is configured to generate a patterned sub-beam whose cross-section contains regions of different intensities. The imaging apparatus also includes a combining structure configured to combine the plurality of patterned sub-beams into a single patterned image, and a projection system configured to project the patterned image onto a target portion of a substrate.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2004Date of Patent: April 4, 2006Assignee: ASML Netherlands B.V.Inventors: Arno Jan Bleeker, Pieter Willem Herman De Jager, Jason Douglas Hintersteiner, Borgert Kruizinga, Matthew Eugene McCarthy, Mark Oskotsky, Lev Ryzhikov, Lev Sakin, Stanislav Smirnov, Bart Snijders, Karel Diederick Van Der Mast, Huibert Visser

Patent number: 5841575Abstract: Telescope comprising two or more reflecting elements, wherein a light beam impinging on a first reflecting element leaves through a second reflecting element, in which the shape of the reflecting surface of the second reflecting element is concave. The shape of the reflecting surface of the first reflecting element is concave. An entrance pupil is arranged in the light path in front of the first reflecting element and the first reflecting element images the entrance pupil nearly in the focus of the second reflecting element.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 1996Date of Patent: November 24, 1998Assignee: Nederlandse Organisatie Voor Toegepast-Natuurwetenschappelijk Onderzoek (TNO)Inventors: Huib Visser, Bart Snijders

Patent number: 5621219Abstract: A device for determining from one or more different directions the geometrical pattern of a mark being randomly shaped in three dimensions and being embedded in a transparent material and securely fixed to an object. A radiation source is designed to emit radiation to a matrix of radiation detectors. The object is placed with the mark in the path of the radiation for projecting a silhouette of the mark onto the matrix of radiation detectors by the radiation sources.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 1995Date of Patent: April 15, 1997Assignee: Unicate B.V.Inventors: Rudolf L. van Renesse, Teunis Tel, Bart Snijders
