Abstract: A label has a face sheet and below the face sheet a layer of cold flow adhesive. The margin of the face sheet lies outwardly beyond the margin of the cold flow adhesive, thus creating a peripheral region that is initially devoid of cold flow adhesive. Preferably, an undersurface of the face sheet has on it a firm adhesive, to one broad surface of which a polymer film is adhered, the cold flow adhesive being adhered to the other broad surface of the film. The web is formed by applying a strip of transfer adhesive to a release agent on the extended liner, die cutting the adhesive strip to form adhesive patches and an adhesive matrix surrounding the patches; removing the matrix from the liner, then applying an outer strip over the adhesive patches, with the outer strip being formed of the material for the face sheets, die cutting the outer strip around, but outwardly from, the peripheries of the patches to form face sheets and another matrix. The face sheets are ultimately printed.

Abstract: An animal tag having a keeper portion and a clear plastic case or panel through which a barcode can be read, with a pocket in which a barcode label is sealed. The barcode label has on it a barcode viewable through a wall of the case. The label is preferably self-supporting and may carry an RFID chip.

Abstract: Method and device for treating angina pectoris and preventing tolerance to nitrate drugs which takes into account the frequent need to provide the patient with relief from or prevention of pre-waking or early morning angina.

Abstract: A platen including an annular surface adapted to heat seal a piece of film to the lip of a cup, and a central projection which is hotter than the annular surface to cause greater shrinkage in a central portion than in the surrounding portion of the sealed piece of film. This shrinkage of the central portion and the resultant gathering of the surrounding portion results in a planar central portion of the sealed film with radially projecting ridges and grooves around its periphery. The ridges and grooves draw visual attention to the central portion and features, such as perforations for a straw-hole, located therein.
