  • Publication number: 20160068717
    Abstract: A multi-layer barrier adhesive is used for the encapsulation of electronic devices, such as organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), photovoltaics, and thin-film transistors. The multi-layer adhesive comprises at least one barrier layer disposed adjacent at least one adhesive layer. In one embodiment the barrier layer is a fluoropolymer. The fluoropolymer is preferably a homopolymer of tetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) or chlorotrifluoroethylene (PCTFE), or their copolymers.

  • Patent number: 7024364
    Abstract: A system, method and computer program product for determining an address of an entity based on a user location are disclosed. An utterance representative of an entity is initially received from a user. The entity associated with the utterance is then recognized using a speech recognition process. Next, a location of the user is determined. A query is performed to identify a plurality of locations associated with the entity. Based on the results of the query and the location of the user, it is ascertained which of the identified locations associated with the entity are in proximity to the location of the user.

  • Publication number: 20050123706
    Abstract: A runnable splice includes a first and second thermal imprintable label stocks adhered to first and second liners and disposed in a manner establishing a splice gap. A third thermal printable paper is disposed over the gap on one side of the runnable splice and a splice tape is provided on an opposite side of the runnable splice.

  • Patent number: 5508247
    Abstract: A linerless thermal label is produced by disposing a thermosensitive layer into a substrate and allowing the thermosensitive layer to dry, said thermosensitive layer comprising a color former causing the thermosensitive layer to remain color stable. A protective layer is applied on top of the thermosensitive layer and exposes the protective layer to a temperature and a time sufficient to dry the protective layer but not cause the thermosensitive layer to a change color. A heat curable silicone mixture is disposed on said protective layer and thereafter cured to form a release layer without causing color change in the thermosensitive layer. A pressure-sensitive adhesive is applied on an opposite side of the substrate which is exposed to a temperature for a time sufficient to dry the pressure-sensitive adhesive without causing color change in the thermosensitive layer, and the substrate is then rolled in a manner causing the pressure-sensitive adhesive to contact the release layer.
