US Classification:

235/457000, 250/566000

Abstract:

The present invention relates to merchandising components for authenticating products, combinations that include the merchandising component and a product, methods of associating the merchandising component with a product, and methods of utilizing the merchandising component to authenticate a product. More particularly, the merchandising component includes an authentication component capable of producing a two-dimensional, human readable image upon irradiation with electromagnetic radiation. Advantageously, the image produced is unambiguous and capable of being verbally described in an objective manner. The image so produced can be compared with an authentication image, or verbal description thereof, known to be associated with the product in order to reach an authentication determination about the same.

C. , said essentially hydrocarbon resin being generally compatible with said end blocks of said rubbery block copolymer; the proportions of said components (a), (b), and (c) being selected to provide the following pressure-sensitive adhesive and rheological properties: (i) a tensile strength at 500% elongation, determined at 20. degree. -25. degree. C. , of at least 50 pounds per square inch; (ii) a 180. degree. peel resistance, according to PSTC-1, determined at 20. degree. -25. degree. C.

6/247998

Assignee:

H. B. Fuller Company - St. Paul MN

International Classification:

C08L 5302

US Classification:

525 97

Abstract:

A purpose of the disclosed method is to impart gathers and elasticity to a relatively inelastic film, membrane, or web substrate, through elastic banding with a viscoelastic hot melt pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA). Typically, the resulting elastic-banded substrate product (e. g. 40) will be cut into discrete units and formed into garments or body-encircling members such as disposable diapers. One step of the preferred method involves extruding a ribbon or band (13 or 113) comprising a viscoelastic hot melt PSA, which PSA has unusually high cohesion, stretchiness, and elasticity without excessive loss of adhesive bonding strength. (The viscoelastic behavior of the PSA is believed to be determined, at least in part, by the relative size of its crystalline domains and its rubbery domains and the glass transition temperatures and softening points of its components. ) A second step of the preferred method involves bringing the band of hot melt (13 or 113) into adherent contact with a surface of a moving continuous substrate (22 or 32 or 132). A typical substrate would be the polyolefin film used in the manufacture of disposable diapers.

International Classification:

G06K 900

US Classification:

US Classification:

Abstract:

It has been found that a layered recording disc having an inexpensive core layer and high quality recording groove-accepting outer layers can be made in a relatively simple manner through an application of the technique known as coextrusion, wherein a common die, e. g. a coextrusion die (10) having a die orifice (11) for a plurality of streams (13, 23, and 33) provides a multilayer coextrudate (60) having a plurality of layers (64, 74, and 84). The coextrudate (60) can be cut into segments (60a) with a suitable cutting means (20). The coextrudate segments can be substantially of record thickness with a circular periphery. Alternatively, coextrudate segments (60b) can be much thicker than a record and much smaller in surface area. In either case, segments can be compression molded into discs (100) having the desired profile and/or grooves.
