20110088580 | System and Method for Producing a High Surface Friction Material with at Least One Predetermined Graphical Image Embedded Therein - The system and method implement a production process that involves embedding one or more predetermined pre-selected graphical images into an image transfer receptive target layer of the novel HSF material that is positioned below at least one image transfer compliant HSF surface layer(s). An alternate embodiment of the present invention provides a system and method, implementable in a self-contained configuration (e.g., kiosk, vending machine, etc.), and/or implementable as an e-commerce platform over a communication network (e.g., as an Internet-based e-Commerce service), that enables each user to purchase, and/or to order, various pre-made or custom-produced inventive HSF material products (e.g., in grip tape form, etc.), having one or more user-selected and/or user-provided graphical images embedded therein. | 04-21-2011 |
