Abstract:

A low density polyethylene film layer is extrusion coated on densified bleached kraft paper liner to form a film-coated liner sheet. A facestock sheet is adhered with a layer of hot melt adhesive to the film layer to form a laminate sheet web, which is rolled on a roll. The facestock sheet, the film layer and the adhesive layer together define a laminate feedstock. The roll is transported to and loaded on a press with the liner side up. One (or both) edge(s) of the web is (are) crushed with a calendering die to form thin lead-in edge(s). The web is die cut on the bottom face, up through the laminate facestock, but not through the paper liner, to form the perimeters of a grid of blank business cards or other printable media, with a waste paper frame of the laminate facestock encircling the grid. The web is then die cut from the top through the paper liner and to but not through the laminate facestock, to form liner strips covering the back face of the laminate facestock. According to one preferred embodiment of the invention, alternate ones of the strips are then pulled off of the laminate facestock web.

Abstract:

A method of forming printable media including providing a laminate construction which includes (1) a film coated liner having a film layer on a liner and (2) a facestock adhered with an adhesive layer to the film layer of the film coated liner. The facestock, the film layer and the adhesive layer together form a laminate facestock. The facestock is cut to the liner to form facestock cut lines defining at least in part perimeters of printable media. Areas of the liner cover backsides of the facestock cut lines and thereby hold the printable media together for a printing operation on the printable media in a printer or copier and allow the printed media to be removed from the liner after the printing operation into individual printed media.

US Classification:

705 36R, 705 37

Abstract:

A computer-implemented method for analyzing the relative performance of a business unit includes: receiving financial data about the business unit; determining NOPLAT, revenue, capital charge, and invested capital values for the business unit at a first time and a second time from the financial data; determining at least two data points including a first component indicative of NOPLAT/revenue and a second component indicative of revenue/capital charge for the business unit, the at least two data points indicative of values determined at one of the first time and the second time, respectively; and displaying the at least two data points, a first indicia for each data point indicative of the capital value, a second indicia indicative of a spread percentage, and a third indicia indicative of a relationship between the at least two data points between the first time and the second time.

Abstract:

A method of forming printable media using a laminate sheet construction which includes a film-coated liner sheet and a laminate facestock. A facestock sheet, a film layer and an adhesive layer together form the laminate facestock. The laminate facestock is cut through to the liner sheet to form facestock cut lines defining at least in part perimeters of printable media, such as rectangular business cards. An outer face of the liner sheet is cut through to form liner-sheet cut lines defining a plurality of liner sheet strips on a back side of the laminate facestock. The laminate sheet construction is sheeted into a plurality of sheets, each of the sheets includes a plurality of the printable media and at least one of the liner sheet strips. The sheets are fed through a printer or copier, desired indicia is printed on the media and the printed media then separated from the liner sheet strips of the sheet.

Abstract:

Software encoded on a computer-readable medium when executed performs a method for assessing the performance of a company. The method includes receiving financial data about the company; calculating a Total Economic Profit (TEP) value based in part on the financial data, the TEP value including a current value component and a future value component, determining at least one business component of the company that drives at least one selected from the group comprising the current value component and the future value component, and assessing the at least one business component based in part on at least one selected from the group comprising the TEP value, the current value component, and the future value component. From this data, a Total Return to Shareholders (TRS) value may be calculated with a data processor. The TRS may be decomposed into components and mapped onto a computer-generated display.

International Classification:

US Classification:

705 7, 705 35

Abstract:

A target setting, forecasting, and budgeting method and tools are provided in which targets are selected at a high level of management through a process of strategic planning to select targets based on a combination of value expected to be added and manageability of the candidate targets, including computer simulations of increased cash flow expected to be generated by the target strategies. The strategically planned targets are then flowed down to the various levels of management, budgets are constructed around those target strategies, and the budgets are then consolidated and flowed upward. By defining organizational targets and then aligning those targets with strategic goals from the beginning, the number and scope of iterations of budget adjustments can be reduced.
