Moisture activated invisible stencil technology is created by applying a moisture blocking agent in accordance with an artwork is applied to a base substrate. The base substrate is preferably fabricated of a moisture absorbing material. When the object is subjected to moisture, moisture wets to the exposed portion of the base substrate and is repelled in the areas where the moisture blocking agent is applied thereon. The wetted portion of the base substrate changes in shade or color to expose the concealed image. The moisture activated invisible stencil technology can be applied for simple aesthetic applications or advanced for applications to identify wet objects. The advanced applications can include warnings for wet roadways, pool decks, umbrellas, etc.

A camouflage system includes a layer of an adhesion promoter so paint will adhere to the surface of an article and a first layer of paint applied to the surface on top of the adhesion promoter. A second layer of paint of a different color is applied to a portion of the first layer of paint. The second layer of paint may be in the form of a design, symbol, brand, logo, mark, and/or name. A multi-color layer is then applied to the surface of the article over the layers of paint. The multi-color layer may be a camouflage ink pattern. A clear coat may be applied over the multi-color layer. The multi-color layer affects the visual appearance of the second layer of paint. The second layer of paint may be visible at one viewing angle and may be less visible or non-visible at a different viewing angle.

Incrementally forming three-dimensional structure from receiver

Номер: US20140116604A1
Автор: Donald Saul Rimai, II Roland R. Schindler
Принадлежит: Individual

A method for forming a three-dimensional structure includes depositing a first pattern of toner onto a receiver to form spaced-apart stacks of toner particles that extend above the receiver. The receiver is bent and part of it is brought into contact with the deposited toner. The toner is fused to bind two portions of the receiver together with a selected spacing between them. Fusing includes progressively wrapping the receiver around a rotatable support starting at an entry point defined with respect to the support while softening the toner at the entry point. More toner is then deposited on the first surface, at least part of a surface of the receiver in a fourth portion of the receiver is brought into contact with the toner, and the toner is fused. This is repeated to form the three-dimensional structure.

A method for creating a tamper-evident label is described. Embodiments of the method or process typically include four steps. In a first step, an ultraviolet cured ink mask can be printed onto a substrate by an inkjet printer. In a second step, once the printing is done and the mask has been formed, the substrate can be anodized in a weakened anodizing bath. In a third step, the ultraviolet cured ink can be removed from the substrate leaving a portion of the substrate unanodized. To remove the ultraviolet cured ink, the substrate can be heated to an elevated temperature and a cleaning solution and/or solvent can be applied to the ultraviolet cured ink mask. In a fourth step, the substrate can be anodized for a second time.

A method for disposing material includes positioning a donor film including a donor material at a predefined distance from an acceptor substrate, the donor film facing toward the acceptor substrate. One or more pulses of laser radiation are directed to impinge on the donor film at a given location so as to induce formation of a protrusion made from the donor material. A distal tip of the protrusion touches the acceptor substrate and disposes thereon while the protrusion is still in contact with the donor film. A spot of the donor material is formed on the acceptor substrate by increasing a separation between the donor film and the acceptor substrate so as to detach the distal tip of the protrusion from the donor film.
