Abstract: A multilayer film for use in making packaging. The film includes a first layer including a heat resistant polymer, a second layer including adhesive and a material configured to form a dead fold, and a third layer including a sealable polymer.

Abstract: An intervertebral disc prosthesis comprises a superior endplate, an inferior endplate, and an intermediate core positioned between the endplates. The core comprises a central disc portion and a radial flange. The central disc portion of the core is defined by a superior bearing surface and inferior bearing surface. The radial flange of the core includes a first portion that extends radially outward from the central disc portion of the core. The radial flange also includes a second portion that extends axially from the first portion of the flange. The second portion of the flange extends a substantially greater distance toward the inferior endplate than toward the superior endplate. In one embodiment, the second portion of the flange extends completely to the inferior endplate and engages the inferior endplate when the inferior endplate is in a neutral position relative to the core.

Abstract: A method for preparing an overlaid composite product comprises treating a web comprising a functional barrier on one face of the web with a binding agent; placing the treated web directly adjacent an unconsolidated substrate wherein the unconsolidated substrate comprises an uncured first resin; and concurrently consolidating the unconsolidated substrate and curing the binding agent and first resin thereby bonding the web to the substrate without addition of a separate adhesive. An overlaid composite product produced by this method is described. An overlaid composite product can be, e.g., a paper laminated oriented strand board.

Abstract: Smearing of indicia (30,36) or deterioration of a label may be eliminated in a label form that provides protection for the imaging (30,36) in a construction that includes a sheet of transparent face stock (12), a layer of transparent pressure sensitive adhesive (14) on one side of the face stock sheet (12) and a sheet of transparent release liner (10) releasably adhered to the one side of the face stock sheet (12) by the adhesive (14). A die cut (18) is located in the release liner sheet (10) and defines a first removable frame section (20) and a second label defining section (22). The first section (20) surrounds the second section (22) so that when removed, a pattern of the adhesive (14) will be exposed. Reverse image printing (30) is disposed on the release liner second section (22).
