  • Patent number: 10105975
    Abstract: A method for producing scratch-off lottery tickets in a high speed printing line is provided, wherein the printing line includes one or more inkjet printing machines that print lottery tickets on a continuously running paper stock. One or more primer layers are applied to a surface of the paper stock in a defined game play area on each lottery ticket. With the inkjet printing machines game play indicia is printed over the primer layers in the game play area on each lottery ticket at a resolution of at least 600 dpi. The running paper stock is conveyed through the inkjet printing machines at a rate of at least 950 ft./min. The ink jet printing machines use a specially formulated dye-based ink.

  • Patent number: 10017300
    Abstract: Flexible containers with product dispensing visibility. The containers may include: a multiple dose product volume; a structural support frame that supports the product volume in a stand-up orientation; a dispenser; and a flow channel in fluid communication with the product volume and the dispenser. The flow channel may be made from flexible materials forming a sealed leg of a gusset. Fluent product may flow from the product volume, through the flow channel, and out the dispenser when the container is externally compressed. The sealed leg of the gusset has a first side and a second side. The first side of the sealed leg of the gusset has opaque decoration that overlays substantially all of the flow channel, and the second side of the sealed leg of the gusset has one or more non-opaque portions that overlay the flow channel.

  • Publication number: 20180135883
    Abstract: The newly discovered, Arc-Flashpoint Technology (AFPT) is the subject of several contemporaneously filed inventions teaching the combining of the properties of ionic plasma with nucleomagnetics as is further disclosed in the Amo Vigen Scrunched Cube Atomic Model (AVSCAM invention). By utilizing dissimilar metals in a special crucible, while a high voltage, low amperage, pulse modulated electrical current is passing between a Cathode part to an Anode part in an aqueous liquid, free floating ions are released in such abundance, that the amount of energy delivered into the system is fully transferred into heat just from the water molecules, by the explosion of the plasma released Hydrogen and Oxygen gasses when the two gasses recombine in the said crucible and ignite to form a controlled explosive reaction that in the process generates a massive amount of heat.

  • Patent number: 9790676
    Abstract: A delayed shutoff device comprises a conduit configured to allow a fluid to flow through, wherein the conduit includes a conduit start and a conduit end. The device further comprises a plug configured to be placed inside the conduit at the conduit start; move inside the conduit from the conduit start toward the conduit end when the fluid flows through the conduit; and reduce the fluid flow upon reaching the conduit end. The device is configured to allow a pass-through quantity of the fluid to pass through the conduit while the plug moves from the conduit start to the conduit end. The conduit end may form a seat, the plug being configured to stop moving upon reaching the seat. The plug may be configured to fit the seat imperfectly, to allow a seepage of the fluid after reaching the seat.
