Electrostatically charged graphic sheets are additionally provided with a preapplied activatable adhesive. Such sheets may be oriented on a display substrate using the electrostatically induced adhesion, and more securely fastened to the display substrate using the activatable adhesive.

Adhesive electrostatic sheets

A viewing device comprising a media having a lineal pattern of alternating transparent and non-transparent regions printed thereon, wherein the non-transparent regions comprise edges having an Edge Roughness greater than about 2 micrometers.

Black line screens and methods of making same

A method and apparatus to improve toner drying on electrostatic printing media is disclosed. A drying apparatus placed between two print stations in a single pass electrostatic printer provides air from two different drying assemblies, one adjacent to one print station and a second adjacent to a second print station.

Method and apparatus to dry media during electrostatic printing

The invention relates to a method of manufacturing a replication master tooling article suitable for manufacturing replicated articles by machining a substrate surface with laser energy to produce a plurality of geometric structures in the substrate, the geometric structures having side surfaces extending from the surface of the substrate into the substrate.

Laser machined replication tooling

This invention discloses a film and a method for forming a film that can be printed directly using electrostatic priming processes, eliminating the need for transfer of electrostatic images from an electrostatic paper to a polymeric film. The film is durable and conformable to a variety of surfaces and optionally has a field of pressure sensitive adhesive thereon for adhering to such variety of surfaces.

Hand-held volleyball training aid

A feminine hygiene pad is provided with a linerless microsphere pressure-sensitive adhesive attachment region for attaching the pad to an undergarment. The pads are stackable without release liners and can be used as a tape to form the liquid barrier backing of the pad.

Feminine hygiene pad

An adhesive laminate structure composed of three layers is provided. A smooth thermoplastic film acts as a release liner without any release coating in combination with an acrylate adhesive and an oil-containing substrate.

Pattern-coated anchorage system for porous film

A conformable drag reduction article is provided having a patterned surface capable of reducing drag resistance by fluid flowing thereover.
