  • Patent number: 9682540
    Abstract: The current invention utilizes an extrusion coating method as a key step in a series of multilayer construction processes to make a laminate for graphic application. The extrusion coated layer performs as a strengthening layer to provide mechanical properties for the construction, while an ink receptive coating layer delivers high quality printability performance. High gloss can be achieved through the use of a PET carrier.

  • Publication number: 20170116890
    Abstract: A label sheet assembly and method is disclosed for improving the process of feeding label sheets through a printer. The label sheet assembly may include a facestock layer and a liner sheet. The facestock layer may include an adhesive layer along at least a portion of a first side and include a label surface along at least a portion of the second side opposite the adhesive layer. The facestock layer may include at least one cut line that defines at least one label within the facestock layer while the remaining portions of the facestock layer may be a matrix portion. The matrix portion may include at least one discontinuous cut line spaced from the cut line that defines at least one label wherein the discontinuous cut line may create a zone of decreased bending stiffness along the label sheet assembly.

  • Patent number: 9429084
    Abstract: Systems and methods for increasing hybrid driveline efficiency are disclosed. In one example, an efficient engine operating region is defined within an engine operating domain based on an engine's brake specific fuel consumption. The systems and methods may increase an amount of time a hybrid driveline operates at more efficient operating conditions.

  • Publication number: 20160247420
    Abstract: A labeling assembly is shown and described herein. A labeling assembly for laminating labels may include a label sheet, a laminating sheet and an alignment member. The alignment member may allow folding of the label sheet and laminating sheet. The label sheet may include a facestock sheet and a liner sheet. Labels may be pre-cut in the facestock sheet. The laminating sheet may include a laminae film sheet and a liner sheet. Protective covers may be pre-cut in the liner sheet and laminae overlays may be pre-cut in the laminae film sheet. The protective covers may be removed to expose an adhesive portion of the laminae overlay. The label sheet and the laminating sheet may be folded onto each other at the alignment member. The laminae overlay may adhere to the label to form a removable laminated label.

  • Publication number: 20160243958
    Abstract: A hybrid vehicle includes a fraction battery, a powertrain coupled to the battery, and a controller or a battery management system having a controller. The controller is programmed to set a state of charge (SOC) target for the battery according to losses associated with the powertrain and an angle of inclination of the vehicle. The controller is programmed to respond to a SOC of the battery and a speed of the vehicle. When the SOC is greater than the target and the speed is greater than a threshold the controller is programmed to discharge the battery to achieve the target.

  • Publication number: 20160107785
    Abstract: A stackable container as shown and described herein. The stackable container may include an outer container having a bottom panel, a pair of opposite side walls and an end wall that extend from the bottom panel respectively. Said bottom panel may have at least one slot. A plurality of locking tabs may extend downward through said slots and a top panel may extend from the end wall wherein the top panel may be adapted to be pivoted between an open position and a closed position a front panel may extend from the bottom panel may be adapted pivot between an open position and a closed position. An inner container may be configured to be slidingly received within the outer container when the front panel is in the open position.
