Authentication systems and related methods are described which enable consumers to conveniently determine whether an article is an authentic or legitimate article, as opposed to a counterfeit or imitation article. The systems and methods utilize electronic tags incorporated into the article and/or its packaging, and appropriately configured mobile devices such as a smart phone.

Consumer authentication systems and methods

A method and apparatus are provided for die cutting label stock comprising a facestock, an adhesive and optionally a liner to form labels where a liner of the linered pressure sensitive adhesive label stock may be a thin or ultrathin liner.

Apparatus and process for cutting adhesive labels

A label applicator system is described comprising one or more, and preferably two, assemblies of rollers and belts. The assemblies are arranged relative to one another such that at least a portion of the belts of each assembly are aligned with one another to define an article receiving lane. The assemblies are arranged and configured such that the lane extends in a zig- zag path, a relatively straight path, and/or an arcuate path. Selection of the lane geometry along with appropriate control of belt velocities enable high rates of applying labels to articles and particularly containers having compound curves.

Label applicator belt system

An RFID webstock containing a relatively high pitch-density array of semiconductive chips is provided and joined to a web bearing relatively widely spaced antennas in a continuous process. The RFID webstock is separated or cut into individual chip sections, with the spacing of the chips being increased as the RFID webstock is die cut. The individual chips on the sections are then joined to corresponding antennas to form an RFID inlay stock. This process is conducive to high speed roll-to-roll production of RFID tag and label roll stock.

RFID label technique

An apparatus and method for removing matrix material from a web of cut adhesive backed labels. A matrix stripping apparatus comprises a rotating cylinder for receiving a web of cut adhesive labels, a source for applying an electrostatic charge to the web of cut adhesive labels, and a separation member to facilitate separation of the matrix from a web comprising cut labels and a release liner. Applying an electrostatic charge to the web assists in holding the web against the rotating cylinder and relieves tension in the separation and removal of the matrix material.

Methods of treating and or preventing substance abuse/dependence, and alcohol abuse/dependence in particular. Combinations of medications are also disclosed.

Combinations of dopamine D2 receptor blockade with norepinephrine reuptake inhibition and with norepinephrine alpha 2 receptor blockade

A system for tracking files at a site having a plurality of locations includes a plurality of antenna arrays and a plurality of files. Each of the antenna arrays generates an energizing field and is disposed at or near one of the locations. Each of the files includes a body including a pair of covers and a transponder assembly. The transponder assembly may include a substrate, an antenna disposed on one of the sides of the substrate, a circuit coupled to the antenna and having an identifier code, and an adhesive layer disposed on the other the side of the substrate. The transponder assembly may be attached to one of the covers by the adhesive. The identifier code is unique for each of the files. In operation, each of the transponder assemblies is activated by the energizing field of one of the antenna arrays when moved within an operative distance thereof. An activated transponder assembly responsively transmits a signal indicative of the identifier code. A reader in communication with the antenna arrays receives the signal from the activated transponder assembly. An administrator may be provided in communication with the reader for receiving information from the reader indicative of the location of the file associated with the transponder assembly transmitting the signal. Accordingly, each of the files of the system may be tracked as the files are moved throughout a site.

Trackable files and systems for using the same

A stamp product is described which is self-adhesive and adheres to a release liner. The product is imprinted with stamp graphics and perforated about the periphery of the graphics and through the liner to define each stamp. The liner is cut opposite each stamp making each stamp accessible by tearing both liner and stamp at the perforations or by removal of the liner at each stamp and then tearing the stamp at the perforations.

Self-adhesive stamp construction

There is provided a postage stamp construction formed of a plurality of postage stamps adhered to a currency sized release liner by an ooze resistant pressure sensitive adhesive which construction coated with a polymeric coating of the face of the stamp and the undersurface of the release liner and dispensable from an automatic teller machine.
