Abstract: Examples associated with template generation are disclosed. One example includes identifying a set of edges of a set of labels from an image of a sheet of labels. Members of the set of labels in an unused state are also identified. A printing template is generated for the sheet of labels based on the edges of the set of labels and based on which members of the set of labels are in an in-used state.

Abstract: A multilayer interlayer containing a specified ionomer skin layer and an acoustic damping intermediate layer, and laminate containing such interlayer are provided, wherein the laminate has a desirable combination of sound insulating, flexural strength and optical properties suitable for use in transportation and architectural end uses.

Abstract: Provided herein is a translucent white polymer composition suitable for use as a safety glass interlayer. The translucent white polymer composition comprises a pigment and a polymeric resin that comprises an ionomer of an ethylene acid copolymer. Alumina (Al2O3) and alumina trihydrate (Al(OH)3; “ATH”) are preferred pigments. The translucent white polymer composition is useful in various molded articles. The translucent white polymer composition is particularly useful as an interlayer in glass laminates, including safety glass laminates and structural glass laminates. Further provided herein are methods of making the translucent white polymer composition, the articles and the glass laminates.

Abstract: Provided herein are interlayer sheets formed of an acid copolymer composition, which comprises an acid copolymer resin or an ionomer that is the neutralized product of the acid copolymer resin. The acid copolymer resin comprises copolymerized units of an ?-olefin having 2 to 10 carbon atoms; about 10 to about 25 wt % of copolymerized units of a first ?,?-ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid having 3 to 10 carbon atoms; and about 15 to about 30 wt % of copolymerized units of a derivative of a second ?,?-ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid having 3 to 10 carbon atoms. In addition, the acid copolymer resin has a melt flow rate of about 1 to about 400 g/10 min. Light weight safety laminates comprising these interlayer sheets are characterized by good strength and superior acoustic damping, due to the properties of the acid copolymer composition.

Abstract: Provided herein is relatively thick ionomeric sheeting that can be taken up into a roll and supplied in continuous form. Also provided herein are methods of manufacturing rolls of relatively thick, continuous ionomeric sheeting. Further provided herein are methods of producing glass laminates, wherein the relatively thick ionomeric sheeting is not conditioned to reduce curvature prior to stacking the pre-press assembly. These continuous rolls eliminate costly cutting and stacking steps in ionomeric sheeting that is intended for use as interlayers in laminated structures, for example safety glass and photovoltaic cells.

Abstract: A slurry containing microfiber and micropowders, and a process for making such a slurry, are provided. The slurry containing microfibers and micropowders is more stable and easier to process, and the micropowder is less likely to separate out of the slurry or agglomerate in comparison to a slurry containing only micropowder.

Abstract: Polyester compositions comprising microfibers are disclosed. The compositions are made by contacting microfibers with polymerizable components, such as monomers, suitable for making polyesters, and polymerizing the polymerizable components. The microfibers can be provided in the form of a slurry. The microfibers provide improved properties to the polyesters for use in making molded parts, films and fibers.

Abstract: Filaments of ethylene terephthalate polyester copolymers that contain a lithium salt of a glycollate of 5-sulfo-isophthalic acid provide improvements over commercially-available basic-dyeable polyester filaments.

Abstract: A process is provided for preparing basic-dyeable polyester polymer, and shaped articles therefrom, such as fibers, films and bottles, involving using the metal sulfonate salt of a glycollate of isophthalic acid as a polymerization catalyst in making ethylene terephthalate polyester copolymers. This reduces or even avoids the need to add a conventional polymerization catalyst, such as antimony trioxide, especially when making polyesters delustered with titanium dioxide.

Abstract: The invention provides novel polyesters, fibers and films, nonwovens from the fibers and disposable products of the polyesters such as diapers. The products are degradable under the conditions typically existing in waste composting processes, have low ingredient costs and yet provide strength and toughness properties adequate for end uses such as in disposable diapers. The polyesters are based upon polyethylene terphthalate copolymerized with a cycloaliphatic diacid, preferably hexahydroterephthalic acid, and containing alkali metal or alkaline earth metal sulfo groups, such as a metal 5-sulfoisophthalic acid derivative.
