20100038024 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR POSITIONING STRINGERS ON AN AIRCRAFT SKIN, IN PARTICULAR ON A WING SKIN - Until now, an orientation pattern has been projected onto the skin by means of lasers. The stringers provided with an adhesive film are then positioned by hand on the skin and fixed by pressure weights. A precision of ±3 mm is thus achieved.

20160029826 | ANTI-CURLING REINFORCEMENT DEVICE FOR AREA RUG CORNERS - An anti-curling reinforcement device can be applied to corners of a rug, such as an area rug, to prevent the corners from curling. By adhering to the underside of the rug, and not the floor, the anti-curling reinforcement device does not damage the floor as may occur with double-sided carpet tape. The device utilizes a specially designed shape and structure that straightens and reinforces the corner to prevent further curling and possible damage to the rug. The device straightens, reinforces and adds weight to the rug corner to prevent curling, keeping the corner flat, and preventing possible damage to the rug as well as minimizing tripping hazards from curled corners. | 02-04-2016 |
20160039188 | TRANSFER MATERIAL, SUBSTRATE WITH TRANSFER LAYER, TOUCH PANEL, MANUFACTURING METHODS THEREFOR, AND INFORMATION DISPLAY DEVICE - The transfer material includes a temporary support, a release layer, a transfer layer, and a protective film in this order. When the protective film is peeled off from the transfer material, the protective film is peeled off from the transfer layer, and the transfer layer remains on the release layer side. In addition, when the temporary support is peeled off after the transfer layer is transferred to a transfer target substrate which is formed of glass or a film selected from TAC, PET, PC, or COP, the release layer is present on the peeled temporary support side. | 02-11-2016 |
20160039239 | LAMINATING A BOOK COVER - A central strip of the inside surface of the cover of a book, ledger or the like is left exposed from laminating material applied elsewhere to the surface so as to bond better to the stack of pages or to a glue strip binding the left-hand edges of the pages of the book. In a preferred embodiment a central strip is cut from a sheet of laminating material as it is drawn from a roll by a pair of cutters the spacing apart of which is adjustable to be not less than the height of the stack or glue strip. | 02-11-2016 |
20160046116 | LABEL DEVICE - An improved advertising and labeling method comprising forming a substantially planar label, die-cutting a plurality of openings in at least two opposing locations on the label, such that the openings are configured to align with a plurality of openings on a display device and locating a fastening device within at least one of the plurality of openings. | 02-18-2016 |
20160109631 | OPTICAL FILM WITH PRESSURE SENSITIVE ADHESIVE ON BOTH SIDES AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING IMAGE DISPLAY DEVICE USING THEREOF, AND METHOD FOR SUPPRESSING CURL OF OPTICAL FILM WITH PRESSURE SENSITIVE ADHESIVE ON BOTH SIDES - The optical film with a pressure sensitive adhesive on both sides includes a first pressure sensitive adhesive layer having a thickness of 3 μm to 30 μm on first main surface of an optical film, and a second pressure sensitive adhesive layer having a thickness of 50 μm or more on second main surface of the optical film. A first protective sheet and a second protective sheet are releasably attached on the first pressure sensitive adhesive layer and the second pressure sensitive adhesive layer, respectively. The residual stress of the second pressure sensitive adhesive layer S | 04-21-2016 |
20160159651 | METHOD FOR FORMING CARBON NANOTUBE ARRAY AND METHOD FOR FORMING CARBON NANOTUBE STRUCTURE - A method for forming a carbon nanotube array is disclosed. More than one carbon nanotube array is transferred onto an accepting surface of one substitute substrate by sandwiching a liquid medium between the substitute substrate and the plurality of carbon nanotube arrays and solidifying the liquid medium into a solid medium. The solid medium is melt to form the liquid medium again. The carbon nanotube arrays are slid on the accepting surface of the substitute substrate to contact side surfaces with each other to form the carbon nanotube assembling array. A method for forming a carbon nanotube structure, such as a film, is also disclosed. | 06-09-2016 |

20160376476 | SURGICAL GLOVE TAPE - A surgical glove tape comprises an elongate strip of material, an adhesive, and a release liner. In particular, the elongate strip of material is comprised of a combination of cotton and spandex. The elongate strip of material has a first major surface and a second major surface. Moreover, the elongate strip of material is further characterized by a tab section extending from a first end of the elongate strip of material, and a taping section extending from the tab section. The adhesive coats the second major surface of the elongate strip of material within the taping section of the elongate strip of material. The release liner overlies the adhesive. | 12-29-2016 |
20160376893 | METHODS FOR TREATING FIELD OPERATED COMPONENTS - A method for treating a field operated component is disclosed which includes providing the component including a ceramic matrix composite and removing a first portion of the component, forming a first exposed surface on the component. The method further includes providing a second portion including the composite, the second portion having a second exposed surface including a conformation adapted to mate with the first exposed surface. The second portion is positioned in association with the component so as to replace the first portion, and the second portion and the component are joined to form a treated component. Another method is disclosed wherein the component is a turbine component which further includes removing an environmental barrier coating from the component, arranging and conforming the first exposed surface and the second exposed surface to define a joint, and applying an environmental barrier coating to the treated component. | 12-29-2016 |
