  • Patent number: 12169748
    Abstract: The present disclosure includes in one instance an optical article comprising a data rich plurality of retroreflective elements that are configured in a spatially defined arrangement, where the plurality of retroreflective elements comprise retroreflective elements having at least two different retroreflective properties, and where data rich means information that is readily machine interpretable. The present disclosure also includes a system comprising the previously mentioned optical article, an optical system, and an inference engine for interpreting and classifying the plurality of retroreflective elements wherein the optical system feeds data to the inference engine.

  • Publication number: 20240247171
    Abstract: A multilayer pressure-sensitive adhesive foam tape that includes: a pressure-sensitive adhesive polymeric foam layer having a first major surface and a second major surface, wherein the polymeric foam comprises: a poly(meth)acrylate derived from a (meth)acrylate-based (co)polymer component having a weight-average molecular weight (Mw) no greater than 500,000 g/mol and comprising at least one reactive functional group (X); and an optional additive selected from the group consisting of a density-reducing solid filler, a tackifier, a VOC scavenger, an odor absorber (particularly, activated carbon), a stabilizer, a rheological modifier, a thixotropic compound, and a combination thereof; a first pressure-sensitive adhesive skin layer adjacent the first major surface of the foam layer; and a second pressure-sensitive adhesive skin layer adjacent the second major surface of the foam layer.
