Abstract: A retroreflective applique (10) includes a supporting structure (12), a layer of optical lens elements (14), and a reflective material (16). The layer of optical lens elements (14) is partially embedded in the supporting structure (12), and the reflective material (16) is disposed on the embedded portion of the layer of optical lens elements (14). The supporting structure (12) may contain a binder layer (24) and a heat-activatable adhesive layer (26). The binder layer (24) includes a non-filamentary acrylic polymer layer. The use of such a supporting structure (12) eliminates the need for a release liner on the rear surface (20) of the heat-activatable adhesive layer (26), and it also enables a carrier web (28) to be separated from the polymeric supporting structure (12) before the applique (16) is permanently secured to a substrate. The separation step can be accomplished without causing substantial harm to the retroreflective performance of the applique (10).

Title: Removable adhesive tape with controlled sequential release
Inventor: BRIES JAMES L
IPC: C09J7/26
Filed: 1996-07-10
Granted: 2008-04-01
Abstract: Double-sided stretchable adhe-sive tapes are described for use in conventional applications, particularly including the mounting or joining of an object to another surface. An im-provement lies within the ability to control the timing of the debonding of both surfaces so that one adhesive surface releases before the other. The earlier release can be either on the ob-ject side or the surface side, depending on the desired effect. The present in-vention is applicable to all stretchable tape constructions including the use of plastic backing materials and/or elas-tic backing materials and allows such an object to be removed without risk-ing substantial snap-back of the ad-hesive tape or catapulting of the ob-ject. The afrmentioned advantages can be achieved by a double-sided ad-hesive tape having a stretchable back-ing layer, plastic or elastic, and having a lower-adhesion or non-adhesive por-tion of one adhesive surface, so that a corresponding greater adhesion adhe-sive portion of the other side remains more aggressively adhered to a sur-face during stretch removal while the portion of the one adhesive surface is less aggressively adhered or completely released from its surface. A non-adhesive portion may be adhesive-free, or may be an adhesive layer portion which is rendered non- adhesive. A lower-adhesion portion may comprise a low adhesion material, i.e., a weaker adhesive, or may be rendered lower in adhesion by a treatment or coating.

Abstract: A method and system acts to cool matter through the use of a carbon dioxide snow/vapor flow.  The matter is supported in juxtaposition to an outlet for the carbon dioxide snow/vapor and a conductor which exhibits a reference potential state.  To perform the method, a flow of liquid carbon dioxide is subjected to a pressure expansion to create a flow of carbon dioxide snow and vapor. The carbon dioxide snow and vapor then come into contact with a conductive surface and achieves a charge as a result of frictional engagement with the conductive surface.  Thereafter, the carbon dioxide snow/vapor is directed towards the matter to be cooled and the conductor which exhibits a reference potential.  The reference potential state attracts the carbon dioxide snow and aids in contact thereof on the matter being cooled.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un système de surveillance de la circulation de camions et un système conseillant des rampes d'accès pour les véhicules. Le système comprend une série de réseaux de capteurs, notamment une série de réseaux de capteurs électro-acoustiques au-dessus de la route qui est fixée sur une voie de circulation à l'approche d'un danger pour produire des signaux qui indiquent si le véhicule est un automobile ou un camion. S'il s'agit d'un camion, le système enregistre la présence du camion et fournit des signaux qui indiquent la vitesse du camion. On prévoit un processeur doté d'une mémoire pour stocker des données spécifiques au site concernant la géométrie du danger et les signaux qui ont été reçus de la série de réseaux de capteurs électro-acoustiques au-dessus de la route. Un dispositif de feux de circulation est associé à la voie de circulation et placé en aval de la série de réseaux de capteurs électro-acoustiques au-dessus de la route, le dispositif de feux de circulation étant contrôlé par le processeur. Le processeur est sensible aux signaux en provenance de la série de réseaux de capteurs électro-acoustiques au-dessus de la route pour calculer la vitesse réelle du camion et une vitesse sécuritaire maximale pour un tel camion à l'approche de l'obstacle. La vitesse sécuritaire maximale calculée du camion provient des données dimensionnelles spécifiques au site de l'obstacle, au moins à partir de la vitesse initiale du camion, la vitesse sécuritaire maximale calculée étant une vitesse sécuritaire maximale pour que le camion puisse éviter sans danger l'obstacle. Le processeur compare la vitesse réelle calculée du camion avec la vitesse sécuritaire maximale calculée pour le camion. Par la suite, le processeur active automatiquement le dispositif de feux de circulation si la vitesse réelle calculée dépasse la vitesse sécuritaire maximale calculée du camion. Le processeur désactive également le dispositif de feux de circulation si la vitesse réelle calculée du camion ne dépasse plus la vitesse sécuritaire maximale calculée du camion.

Filed: 1997-09-02
Granted: 2004-11-23
Abstract: A reduced cost, scaled down raster image processor (RIP) provides fast real time imaging without the cost and complexity of prior designs. The scaled down RIP can be tailored to accommodate image generation in a particular printing range to efficiently run print bars at a reduced equipment cost. The scaled down RIP utilizes a personality modu le in conjunction with a scaled down controller to provide limited print information to a print engine. The personality module tailors the system for a particular print engine, such as a Moore.RTM. Independent Cartridge Array (MICA) ink jet printer. The personality module i s responsible for requesting and reading raster data to build up the staging RAM. A pair of EEPROMs may be used to control each bar read according to the position and distance from the other. Pixel data is then sent to the service station along with the print bar address. The personality module outputs the sequence of pixel data to the service station for imaging, interfaces the display and keyboard information, and transfers the various offsets to a control ASIC for rehandling the pixel data at the staging RAM.
