  • Publication number: 20200223173
    Abstract: A mesh material for fabricating hunting blinds, tents, and other similar flexible structures. The material is durable, water-resistant, and partially light-transmissive such that persons or objects inside or behind the structures are not easily seen from outside the structures. The material is also semi-permeable to air flow for ventilation purposes. The mesh material is fabricated from an interwoven polyester fabric that is coated with acrylic and a mixture of silicone and ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA). Patterns and/or colors are printed on both sides of the fabric with a heat transfer paper printing process to provide a desired level of light transmissivity.

    Abstract: In some aspects, the inventive subject matter contemplates providing a substrate; providing a biomaterial to be affixed to the substrate; and subjecting the substrate and biomaterial to reactive species from a plasma generated by an atmospheric plasma apparatus until the biomaterial affixes to the substrate. The biomaterial may be silk or wool polypeptide. The biomaterial is deposited as a monomeric film on the surface of the substrate before the substrate is subjected to the reactive species of the plasma. Once the substrate with the film of biomaterial is subjected to the reactive species, the reactive species facilitates the polymerization of the film as a coating on the underlying portion of substrate. The resulting coated substrates are novel constructs that have improved attributes based on the biomaterial selected for use. For example, silk proteins may be used improve the hand or strength of textile materials.

    Abstract: Methods for replication and lift-off of micro/nano structures in single or multilayer thin films from a master substrate at wafer scale. The methods utilize polymeric materials with low-elastomeric properties to enhance the mechanical strength of the thin films during the replication and liftoff process from a master substrate, wherein the flexible polymer can have stand alone integrity. The master substrate can contain a surface relief which has a desired pattern to be replicated.

  • Publication number: 20200223218
    Abstract: A sheet-fed printing press has a feeder, a deliverer and at least one sheet guiding cylinder which is arranged between the feeder and the deliverer. The sheet-fed printing press also is a gripper system and is assigned to a digital printing device. A first sheet guiding device receives sheets from the sheet guiding cylinder. The object of the sheet-fed printing press is to provide such a sheet-fed printing press which can be used in a relatively variable manner and by way of which, in particular, a relatively great spectrum of different products can be produced. This object is accomplished by virtue of the fact that the first sheet guiding device is configured for the selective transfer of the sheet to a second sheet guiding device, which transfers the sheets to the sheet guiding cylinder, or for the transfer to the deliverer.
