Abstract: A decalcamania or pressure-sensitive dry transfer is described in which at least
one design indicium is supported on a temporary carrier sheet from which it is
releasable by manipulation of the carrier sheet. The indicium carries a pressure-sensitive
adhesive coating, the tack level of which is substantially reduced by the

Abstract: An upwardly facing rotating abrasive wheel assembly has
a foam pad topped by abrasive paper. The abrasive wheel assembly
is removably mounted in a motor-driven cup. The abrasive wheel
assembly can be changed to change the grade of abrasive paper or to
renew the abrasive paper. The ROM disc to be repaired is downwardly
facing and is rotatably mounted on a ROM disc carrier. The ROM
disc carrier is lowered until the ROM disc is in face-to-face
abrading relationship with the upwardly facing abrasive wheel
assembly. The interengagement rotates the ROM disc so that even
abrasion of the ROM disc protective layer is achieved. After a
short run with the coarse abrasive, a fine abrasive is substituted
to provide a finished surface. If desired, the surface can be
buffed with a sheep's wool pad substituted for the abrasive wheel
assembly. Proper repair is quickly and easily achieved.

Abstract: Machine-readable data is digitally watermarked into banknotes. Such
watermarking can be optically sensed and detected by various devices. In response,
such devices can intervene to prevent banknote reproduction. This arrangement
addresses various problems, e.g., the use of digital image editing tools to circumvent
prior art banknote anti-copy systems. In some embodiments, visible structures
characteristic of banknotes are also detected (e.g. by pattern recognition analysis of
image data), and reproduction can be halted if either the visible structures or the digital
watermark data are detected. In other embodiments, automatic teller machines that
accept, as well as dispense, banknotes can check for the presence of digitally
watermarked data to help confirm the authenticity of banknotes. In other embodiments,
scanners, printers and photocopiers can be provided with digital watermarking
capabilities so that image data, or printed output, produced by such devices includes
digital watermark data, permitting subsequent identification of the particular device
used. The digital watermarking can be effected by making slight alterations to ink
color, density, etc., or by texturing the microtopology of the banknote surface. Some
embodiments effect the watermarking by modulating the width or placement of
component lines that form line art imagery on the banknote.

tissue or toweling includes a pair of movable shuttles
which can be moved together to provide a bridge for
conveying the units over an opening and which can be

shuttles are moved to an upstream position, the
shuttles bridge the opening, and units can be moved
over the shuttles and over the opening. When a trim
piece or selected unit is positioned just upstream of
the downstream shuttle, the downstream shuttle is
moved in a downstream direction away from the upstream
shuttle to provide a gap between the shuttles so that
the trim piece or selected unit falls through the gap
and the opening. The upstream shuttle can then be

shuttle to close the gap.
