20100086753	FOILED ARTICLES AND METHODS OF MAKING SAME - A foiled article and methods of making the foiled article. The foiled article includes a substrate with one or more foiled areas on one or both surfaces of the substrate. The foiled areas are formed by applying a predetermined pattern of toner or ink to the substrate, and bonding a foil material to the patterned areas by the application of heat. The foiled areas can then be printed to create a multi-colored foil, images, or text thereon. The foiled areas can be simultaneously printed with the non-foiled areas. The digital patterning of the toner or ink, as well as the optional digital printing of the foiled areas allow for variable images without the expenditure for stamping dies and printing plates, such that a short-run product can be produced at lower cost with faster turn around times than traditional foiling processes.	04-08-2010

20090273108	METHOD FOR DETERMINING SINTERING SHRINKAGE OF A PRE-SINTERED BODY - A method for determining a sintering shrinkage of a pre-sintered body. The method includes providing a green preform with at least one design feature. The green-preform is pre-sintered to form a white body. At least one change in the at least one design feature with the pre-sintering is recorded. An expected sintering shrinkage to a dense-sintered component is determined using the recorded change.	11-05-2009
