Edging for materials

A system for applying materials to components generally includes a tool operable for transferring a portion of a material from a supply of the material to a component. The tool may include a resilient material configured for tamping the portion of the material onto the component and imprinting the portion of the material for release and transfer from the supply.

Systems of applying materials to components

Material having edging

Material having edge shape

A system for applying thermal interface materials to components includes a supply of thermal interface material and a die. The die is operable for pushing against and/or removing a portion of the thermal interface material that is between the die and a corresponding one of the components. The portion of the thermal interface material is removed from the supply and applied to the corresponding one of the components.

System for applying interface materials

A delivery roll () for thermal interface components, the roll comprising a carrier tape (), an adhesive layer (), and a plurality of thermal interface components (), wherein the adhesive layer () is arranged on a surface of the carrier tape (); each thermal interface component () comprises a top liner (), a bottom liner () and a thermal interface pad () arranged therebetween; the carrier tape () supports the plurality of thermal interface components () by the adhesive adhering to the bottom liner () of each thermal interface component (); and the plurality of thermal interface components () is arranged in a spaced apart manner along the carrier tape (). The invention also relates to a manufacturing method for a delivery roll.

Delivery roll and method for manufacturing thereof

A system for applying materials to components generally includes a tool operable for transferring a portion of a material from a supply of the material to a component. The tool may include a resilient material configured for tamping the portion of the material onto the component and/or for imprinting the portion of the material for release and transfer from the supply.

Material having an edge shape

A tamper monitoring article and system, and an associated method of making, installing and using the article and system. The article has an elongate body portion. The body portion has a first end portion that adheres to a second end portion, if present, or to a substrate. The article also includes a pathway structure that runs along or throughout the body portion and can conduct energy, such as light or electricity, along its length. A monitor communicates with the pathway structure and detects a change in the energy being conducted thereby. A change in the energy is indicative of a change in a conductive property of the pathway structure caused by, for example, manipulation of the body portion and the pathway structure that is disposed therein or thereon. The monitor can then signal, or respond to a request signal, and provide information that such manipulation has occurred.

Tamper monitoring article, system and method

Livestock identification tag assembly comprising: (a) a heat seal laminate comprising: (i) a facestock having an upper surface and a lower surface; (ii) a heat-activatable adhesive layer having an upper surface and a lower surface, wherein the upper surface of the heat-activatable adhesion layer is adhered to the lower surface of said facestock; (iii) an ink or graphics layer adhered to the lower surface of said heat-activatable layer; and (b) a flexible polymeric substrate; wherein the lower surface of the heat-activatable adhesive of the laminate is adhered to the substrate. In one embodiment, the ink or graphics layer is positioned between said heat-activatable adhesive layer and said facestock.

Livestock security tag assembly

This invention relates to a heat-sealable laminate, comprising: a facestock having an upper surface and a lower surface; a heat-activatable first adhesive layer underlying the lower surface of the facestock; and a second adhesive layer overlying the upper surface of the facestock, with the proviso that the laminate is characterized by the absence of either an adhesion promoting layer or an abrasion-resistant transparent coating layer positioned between the upper surface of the facestock and the second adhesive layer. These heat-sealable laminates may be used in providing pictorial and/or print designs or messages (e.g., labels, decals, etc.) that can be adhered to substrates (e.g., metal, plastic, leather, paper or textile substrates) such as automotive interior surfaces, hard plastic component parts, consumer durable goods, and the like.

Heat-sealable laminate

This invention relates to a thermal transfer laminate, comprising: a facestock comprising a first layer having an upper surface and a lower surface, and a heat-activatable adhesive layer underlying the lower surface of said first layer; an adhesion-promoting layer overlying the upper surface of said first layer; an abrasion-resistant transparent coating layer overlying said adhesion-promoting layer; and another adhesive layer overlying said abrasion-resistant coating layer. In one embodiment, an ink or graphics layer overlies the upper surface of the first layer of the facestock and provides a pictorial design and/or print message. In one embodiment, the laminate is adhered to a carrier sheet. In one embodiment, the laminate is adhered to a substrate such as an automotive interior surface.
