Abstract: A sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to glitter includes a plurality of foil flecks adhered to consumer paper products to provide shine and sparkle and emulate traditional glitter. A consumer paper product, such as a greeting card, and a transfer foil are run through a foil press having a patterned die with a pattern thereon. A plurality of foil flecks are transferred from the foil using the die press and are affixed to the consumer paper product to add sparkle and visual interest.

Abstract: A workpiece referencing system, the system having a workpiece support assembly for supporting a plurality of workpieces, wherein the support assembly includes a support platform and a plurality of support members which are disposed to the support platform, each support member being configured to support an individual workpiece; and a workpiece referencing assembly for referencing the workpieces, as supported by the support assembly, to predetermined positions; wherein the support members each includes a body which includes a support surface which supports a workpiece and a resilient coupling which resiliently couples at least an upper part of the body relative to the support platform, such that the at least part of the body is displaceable relative to the support platform from a first, unbiased position to a second, biased reference position by operation of the referencing assembly, and, when released, the at least part of the body returns to the first, unbiased position.

Abstract: A tooling fixture for supporting a workpiece, comprising: a body including a surface over which a workpiece is in use supported and a plurality of bores therein; a plurality of supporting elements (12) for supporting the workpiece, each slideably disposed in a respective one of the bores such as to be extendable from the surface of the body; at least one fluid reservoir (9) operably in fluid communication with the supporting elements such as to cause sliding of ones of the supporting elements on displacement of the fluid in the at least one fluid reservoir, and fluid control means (53) for displacing the fluid in the at least one reservoir such as to cause the supporting elements to be extended to a supporting position in contact with the workpiece and locking the supporting elements in the supporting position.

Abstract: A tooling fixture for aligning and supporting multiple substrates removed from a carrier for further processing, comprising a plurality of vacuum towers attached to a base for supporting said substrates, and a plurality of tapered pins attached to a secondary base for initially aligning said substrates, lifting them from said carrier, and supporting them until said substrates are supported by said vacuum columns.

Abstract: An adapter for converting an existing under screen cleaning apparatus from one which uses a solvent to a solventless under screen cleaning apparatus. The adapter fits within the vacuum channel and between the blades of a known under screen cleaning apparatus. The adapter extends above the top edges of the blades and provides a top surface with at least three lands and a plurality of slots. An interior hole within the adapter connects the slots with a vacuum outlet of the vacuum channel. Optionally, suction is applied to the slots by pumping air from the vacuum outlet.
