Abstract: A multi-layer sheet for use with a three-dimensional printer platform includes an intermediate layer, a polymer receptive coating disposed on one side of the intermediate layer, and a pressure sensitive adhesive disposed on an opposite side of the intermediate layer. The three-dimensional printer includes a platform, a printer head that deposits material to form a product while at least one of the platform and printer head are moved. The multi-layer is sheet disposed on the platform upon which the product is formed with the product formed on the polymer receptive coating, and the pressure sensitive adhesive contacting the platform.

Abstract: A patch for reinforcing a desired area of a garment. The patch comprises a backing substrate and an adhesive layer attached to a side of the backing substrate. At least one edge of the patch is cut in a notched pattern such that the patch has a defined area less than the desired area of the garment. A method for reinforcing a desired area of a garment. A patch is provided comprising a backing substrate and an adhesive layer attached to a side of the backing substrate. The patch is cut such that the patch has a defined area less than the desired area of the garment, and is then applied to the desired area of the garment.

Abstract: A finished high velocity oxy fuel (HVOF) tape used with, for example, during known HVOF processing imparts high temperature silicone pressure sensitive adhesives that provide enhanced adhesion strength to provide a firm adhesion to its own backing and unexpectedly leave no residue upon removal from metals. The novel enhanced tapes are made up of coated or uncoated, woven or non-woven glass cloth and ceramic based fabric laminated to at least one side of a metal-foil using a silicone based laminating adhesive, which is then laminated with another layer of a pre-selected combination of the same materials and coated with a high temperature silicone pressure sensitive adhesive and wound to itself to make a self wound tape or covered adhesive assembly with a release liner to make a laminated sheet for die cut samples, among other things.

Abstract: A tamper indicating closure comprising a base wall and a peripheral skirt having an internal thread adapted to engage the threads of a container wherein a tamper indicating band is provided on the skirt by a plurality of circumferentially spaced bridges. The band includes portions adapted to engage an annular bead on the container. The bridges are formed by using a primary knife having an interrupted cutting edge to produce a circumferential score in the side wall of the closure leaving spaced connectors or bridges followed by using a secondary knife having a continuous cutting edge to provide a continuous external score line and an accurately dimensional radial thickness of the bridges. In a preferred method and apparatus, the closures engage the successive primary and secondary knives and are moved such that the closures roll relative to the knives.
