Abstract: An adjustable drapery form structure provides form to the header portion of a drapery panel. The structure has a platform and a form member capable of surrounding an end of the platform. A track, with discrete stops along it, is oriented perpendicularly to that end of the platform. A hanger member that attaches to a drapery rod can be selectively adjusted between track stops. Trimming notches at an end of the form member may be removed to provide additional adjustability to the structure. The drapery panel is fastened to the form member and then the form member is bent longitudinally into a U-shape. The ends of the form member are then connected to the platform by catches, one on each side of the track, which restrain them. The number of structures and distance between them can be adjusted depending upon the width of the drapery panel and desired aesthetic affect.

Abstract: Tagging apparatus associated with applying and reading a tag adapted to store a number. The tag comprising a plurality of substantially identical two dimensional arrays of dots, each array being indicative of the number for improving tag detection; each arrays comprise a plurality of clusters, each cluster representing a predetermined symbol being indicative of a part of the number. An etching apparatus, for creating a pattern of dots, comprising a plurality of laser sources held in a manifold defining any one or more of a vector grid, or array grid. A tagging reading apparatus comprising a lens element being adapted to control focus, zoom and ingress light; an image capture element for obtaining image data; a processor element adapted to apply one or more digital processing functions to the image; the processor element being adapted to calculate code data indicative of the tag number.

Abstract: A tag system uses dots to store a very large binary number and combined with the Digital Image Processing functions to allow for a reliable recovery of the tag code regardless of the orientation of the tag to the reader and without the need for the tag pattern to incorporate any form of fiducial mark.
