Publication number: 20150129125Abstract: Plastic films are prevented from being peeled off from each other at a joining portion. A composite film has superposed external and internal films and is superposed with an additional body. The films and the body are joined with each other to form a first joining portion between the films, and a second joining portion between the internal film and the body. The first joining portion has a first joining width and includes first outer and inner edges. The second joining portion has a second joining width and includes second outer and inner edges. The first or second joining width is adjusted such that the first joining width is less than the second joining width, with the first inner edge formed outwardly of the second inner edge.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 13, 2013Publication date: May 14, 2015Applicant: TOTANI CORPORATIONInventor: Mikio TOTANI

Publication number: 20150123748Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms for providing a tunable RF resonator device. In an embodiment, a patterned layer of an adhesive material is disposed on a side of a panel comprising a substrate and a metal layer. A membrane is aligned between the panel and another panel. A laminate is formed with the first panel, the second panel and the membrane, where an intermediate layer of the laminate includes a first portion comprising a liquid crystal channel, and a second portion comprising adhesive material disposed in interstices of the membrane. In another embodiment, the second portion forms at least part of a boundary to the liquid crystal channel.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 4, 2014Publication date: May 7, 2015Inventors: Ryan A.

Patent number: 9005391Abstract: An embodiment of the inventive method of transfer lamination bonding a first metallized side of a film to a substrate. Then a breakaway coating is applied to a second, non-metallized side of the film after the first metallized side has been bonded to the substrate. The bonded film and substrate are then placed in an oven. The film is then stripped from the substrate leaving metal from the film deposited on the substrate. The application of the breakaway coating is performed as an inline part of the transfer lamination process thereby providing an ease of manufacture presently unknown.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2010Date of Patent: April 14, 2015Assignee: Hazen Paper CompanyInventor: John Hazen

Patent number: 8992714Abstract: A method produces adhesive tapes which are adhesive at least on one side, wherein an adhesive tape web, in which the at least one adhesive side is covered by a first liner, is guided into a cutting device in which a total of N individual adhesive tape strips located next to one another are produced in the machine direction from the adhesive tape web. Every other adhesive tape strip is removed from the first liner and is applied to a second liner in each case having a spacing a between the individual adhesive tape strips. The liners are cut between the adhesive tape strips located on the first liner and on the second liner, and the individual adhesive tapes, together with the liner strips, are wound up in a total of X rolls in a form of an Archimedean spiral.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2011Date of Patent: March 31, 2015Assignee: tesa SEInventors: Michael Tach, Bruce Dirk Ehlers, Markus Gabriel, Christian Fröhlich

Publication number: 20150072097Abstract: Labels having identification tags and tamper evident pattern release layers and methods of producing such labels are disclosed. An example method includes moving a first substrate in a direction. The first substrate has a first side opposite a second side. The first side has a first adhesive and a pattern release layer. The method also includes coupling a third side of a tag to the first side of the first substrate. The tag includes the third side and a fourth side opposite the third side. The method also includes mating transfer tape of a second substrate over the first side and the fourth side. The second substrate includes a liner layer and the transfer tape. The transfer tape is to be positioned immediately adjacent the tag.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 11, 2013Publication date: March 12, 2015Applicant: R. R.

Patent number: 8974620Abstract: A shield that is attachable to a touch sensitive screen is disclosed. The shield may be attached to the touch sensitive screen only at its outer peripheral portion. An air gap is enclosed between the shield and the touch sensitive screen to form a planar air bearing. The shield preferably does not touch the active area of the touch sensitive screen when the user is not touching the shield but only viewing the touch sensitive screen through the shield. This mitigates unwanted optical artifacts such as trapped air bubbles, Newton rings and chromatic interference while maintaining the sensitivity of the touch sensitive screen.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2013Date of Patent: March 10, 2015Assignee: Racing Optics, Inc.Inventors: Stephen S. Wilson, Bart Wilson, Seth Wilson

Patent number: 8974625Abstract: A method for bonding supplemental materials of various shapes to a base textile comprises printing an adhesive material, such as a thermoplastic ink, onto a backing sheet, such as a paper backing. The thermoplastic ink may be printed onto the paper backing using a print head, silk screen, gravure, or any other appropriate printing device capable of printing the ink onto the backing sheet in a desired shape and with a desired thickness. The adhesive material is generally printed in substantially the same shape as the perimeter of the supplemental material to be bonded to the base textile. After the thermoplastic ink is printed onto the backing sheet, the thermoplastic ink is transferred to the base fabric using a bonding process. The backing sheet is then peeled away, and the supplemental material is then bonded to the exposed adhesive material on the base fabric using a subsequent bonding process.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2009Date of Patent: March 10, 2015Assignee: Under Armour, Inc.Inventor: Jason Berns
