Abstract: A printable structure is configured to create a temporary bind as one half of a hook and loop connection with another half of the hook and loop connection. The printable structure includes a substrate, an adhesive layer, and a print-receptive topcoat. The substrate has two opposing surfaces including a fastening surface that is one of a hook fastening surface and a loop fastening surface of the hook and loop connection and including a textured surface that is textured with surface relief in a direction parallel to a direction of thickness of the printable structure. The adhesive layer is coupled to the textured surface of the substrate. The print-receptive topcoat is coupled to the adhesive layer on a side opposite the substrate. The adhesive layer fills in the surface relief such that there are no un-filled gaps beneath the print-receptive topcoat to level the print-receptive topcoat.

Abstract: A printable hook and loop engaging structure is configured to create a temporary bind as one half of a hook and loop connection with another half of the hook and loop connection. The printable structure includes a substrate and a print-receptive topcoat coupled to the substrate. The substrate includes a fastening surface that is one of a hook fastening surface and a loop fastening surface of the hook and loop connection. The print-receptive topcoat is opposite from the fastening surface of the substrate.

Abstract: A photoluminescent wall marker includes an elongated base having an upper edge and a lower edge. The lower edge of the base is integral with an upper edge of a photoluminescent panel. The upper edge of the photoluminescent panel is integral with the base lower edge and defined by a fold line extending longitudinally between the base and the photoluminescent panel. The base and photoluminescent panel are flexible in a transverse direction allowing the wall marker to be stored in roll form in an unassembled configuration.

Abstract: A RFID label suitable for use on a metal support surface. In one embodiment, the RFID label includes a substrate having a downwardly extending integral leg. RFID circuitry is disposed on the substrate adjacent to the leg which spaces the RFID circuitry from the support surface to reduce interference from the support surface.

Abstract: A shock indicator comprising: A. A base; B. A peg affixed to the base; and C. An indicating weight comprising a peg opening and a gap, the weight attached to the peg at the peg opening such that the weight cannot detach from the peg in the absence of experiencing a shock of at least a predetermined level of force. The indicator may further comprise (i) a spacer in combination with the base to form a cavity in which the indicating weight is located, and (ii) a transparent cover extending over the cavity and in contact with the spacer and peg. In one embodiment the shock indicator is multi-directional while in another embodiment, the shock indicator is unidirectional.

Abstract: A structural component for use in constructing a basement wall has two confronting panels of thermoplastic material joined together to form a closed chamber filled with a rigid structural foam. The width of the chamber is spanned by a plurality of indentations formed in the confronting panels and which are fused to one another to inhibit movement of the panels toward and away from one another. At the opposite sides of the component are joint-forming members which react with similar members of an adjacent component to secure the adjacent components to one another to form an upright wall section.

Abstract: An identification marker or tag for wires and other elongated objects is described. In one embodiment, the marker has a generally elongated shape, e.g., an elongated oval, and comprises a surface for bearing indicia and two holes, one hole located near each end of the marker. Each hole is connected to an edge of the marker by a slot or cut that is adapted for ease of clipping the marker onto a wire. The marker is dimensioned in length and width to display text in the font size desired to maximize legibility.
