Adhesive Outermost Layer Patents (Class 428/343)
  • Patent number: 12258502
    Abstract: An antimicrobial metallized thin film is provided that can be quickly and easily attached to surfaces of objects. This film includes a polymer substrate onto which a metallized layer is formed. The metallized layer comprises an exposed antimicrobial metal physical contact surface. Ions from this physical contact surface destroy the viral coating and ribonucleic acid of contacting viruses rendering the viruses inactive and noninfectious. The film can be attached via an adhesive layer disposed between and in contact with the polymer substrate and the communal surface. This arrangement allows the film to economically refurbish communal surfaces with a film overlay rather than completely replacing communal surfaces with antimicrobial materials. The film mitigates the likelihood of viruses such as coronaviruses, noroviruses, rhinoviruses, and the like from spreading due to contact with the refurbished communal surfaces.

The non-adhesive side can be configured to receive printing such as machine-readable codes. The labels typically have multiple layers which can be configured for various tasks. For example, one layer can be configured as an irreversible void material that generates indicia upon receiving a certain tension associated with removal from a surface. Another layer may be configured to ease the removal of the label from a surface while another generates deformations under tension. The indicia, deformations, and machine-readable code printed on the non-adhesive side can be configured such that when activated, the indicia render the machine-readable code unreadable via machine.

  • Patent number: 11540048
    Abstract: A microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) device comprises a diaphragm assembly and a force feedback system. The diaphragm assembly includes a first diaphragm and a second diaphragm facing the first diaphragm, with a low pressure region being defined therebetween. The diaphragm assembly further includes a first plurality of electrodes, a second plurality of electrodes, and a third plurality of electrodes. A solid dielectric is spaced between the first and second diaphragms and includes a plurality of apertures. Each electrode of the first, second, and third pluralities of electrodes is disposed at least partially within an aperture of the plurality of apertures. The force feedback system receives output from the diaphragm assembly and produces a feedback voltage that is applied to the diaphragm assembly to produce an electrostatic force on the diaphragm assembly that counters a low-frequency pressure across the diaphragm assembly.
