  • Patent number: 11688305
    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 liner sheet layer may include at least one surface feature provided along a back side of the liner sheet. In another embodiment, the facestock layer may include at least one surface feature provided along the front of the facestock layer. The surface features may create a zone of increased friction or increase tactile sensitivity along the various surfaces of the label sheet assembly to improve printer processing.

  • Publication number: 20150021841
    Abstract: A beam-supported joining machine, in particular laser transmission welding device, including a beam head for providing a joining beam producing a joining seam between two components, a receiver for mounting the first component, and a clamping mechanism for clamping the components, in particular to clamp components with a joining seam running three-dimensionally. The clamping mechanism has a clamping device adapted to the course of the joining seam to produce a clamping force between the two components at least in the region of the respective joining zone acted upon by the joining beam, wherein a magnetic or magnetisable strip adapted to the course of the joining seam is provided as the clamping device, which strip, at least in the region of the respective joining zone acted upon by the joining beam, applies a clamping force to the components by a control magnet guided with the joining beam due to the magnetic forces acting between the strip and control magnet.

  • Publication number: 20140053928
    Abstract: In a double seat valve (12), two preferably equally identical valve closure members (18, 20), said members being equally rigidly connected to another, and two preferably equally identical valve seats (19, 21) are provided. The first valve closure member (18) is arranged downstream of the first valve seat (19). The second valve closure member (20) is arranged upstream of the valve seat (21). In doing so, a radially interior sealing zone (37) becomes active on the first valve closure member (18). As opposed to this, a radially exterior sealing zone (38) becomes active on the second valve closure member (20).

  • Patent number: 6563113
    Abstract: The invention relates to a novel type of microscope with an illuminating beam which is guided through the magnification power changer with optimized light intensity parallel to the observation beam. The invention specifically relates to a stereo fluorescence microscope comprising a set of quickly replaceable filters in interchangeable filter carriers. The novel design offers good light efficiency on the object. Malfunctions occurring as a result of intrinsic reflections or fluorescence phenomena inside the microscope are avoided.
