  • Publication number: 20230024697
    Abstract: A method for establishing and/or maintaining a desired temperature of a material in an intermediate bulk container including the steps of positioning a heating element in at least partial contact with a material container containing the material within the intermediate bulk container; and applying an electrical power source to the heating element, wherein the heating element is at least partially made of a positive temperature coefficient resistant material, the heat from the heating element being largely transferred to the material in the material container.

  • Publication number: 20210259056
    Abstract: A thermal target including a substrate and a positive temperature coefficient heater. The positive temperature coefficient heater includes at least one pattern of conductive ink printed on the substrate. The positive temperature coefficient heater is configured to provide at least one thermal signature. The positive temperature coefficient heater includes at least one Thermal Coefficient of Resistance (TCR) profile which increases at a set temperature to maintain the at least one thermal signature.

  • Publication number: 20210237470
    Abstract: A method for producing a target including halftone printing an ink, by a printer, onto at least one ultraviolet reflective substrate. The method further includes applying at least one overlay material, by at least one overlay device, onto the at least one ultraviolet reflective substrate such that a photorealistic visible image and a photorealistic non-visible image are dually formed on the at least one ultraviolet reflective substrate.

  • Patent number: 10938173
    Abstract: A method for fusing an electrical conductor to a film pad circuit including the steps of: providing an electrically inert substrate having a first surface and an opposing second surface; applying an electrically conductive film to the second surface of the electrically inert substrate; applying an electrically conductive member to the electrically conductive film; placing an electrical conductor on the first surface of the electrically inert substrate; and fusing the electrical conductor to the conductive member.

  • Patent number: 7039302
    Abstract: An electrically heated chemical delivery system including a heat sensitive chemical and an electrical heater adjacent to the heat sensitive chemical. The heater includes a heater element with a first heater side and a second heater side and a flexible printed circuit in electrical contact with both the first heater side and the second heater side. The flexible printed circuit includes at least one fold allowing electrical contact with both the first heater side and the second heater side.

  • Patent number: 4062381
    Abstract: The magazine tip guide of an automatic loom filling winder is subjected to constant pounding by the quill tip support as quills are transferred into the shuttle. Eventually a section is broken out of the magazine tip guide and the replacement of this component and its refitting on the loom winder are costly and time consuming. To avoid the necessity for replacing the entire tip guide, a simple and economical part is installed between the outer side of the tip guide and the rockable quill tip support, and this repair or replacement part has a slot which registers with the slotted portion of the magazine tip guide which has been fractured. The normal operation of the magazine tip guide and quill tip support is not interfered with by the invention.
