| 20100275794 | Material Marking System and Method Incorporating an HMI Device - A system that allows a material to be marked while still on the CNC tooling table and allows an operator to input marking information just prior to, or even during, the tooling cycle. The present invention comprises a sequence controller associated with a computer readable medium and adapted for communication with the CNC controller. An HMI device and a marker controller are also connected with the sequence controller. A lifter assembly is connected with the sequence controller to raise and lower a marker assembly. The lifter assembly is connected to the gantry of the CNC tooling system with an adaptor block. The present invention provides the advantage of reduced time when compared to marking the part at a separate station remotely located from the CNC system, and allows the operator to input marking information just prior to or during the CNC tooling cycle. | 11-04-2010 |
| 20110072988 | Computerized Card Production Equipment - An apparatus and method for manipulating images is disclosed. In one embodiment according to the invention, a method for manipulating images comprises: displaying for manipulation at a browser-based user interface a graphical representation of at least a portion of an image held at a remote image store; providing an internet communications link coupling the user interface to a remote image processor; transferring information about manipulations applied to the graphical representation between the user interface and the remote image processor; and causing the remote image processor to access the remote image store and apply, to at least a portion of the image held in the store, manipulations emulating those applied to the graphical representation. In another embodiment according to the invention, there is disclosed a method for applying a personalized image to a financial account access means corresponding to a financial account of a customer. The method comprises: associating financial data, corresponding to the financial account of the customer, with a customer image identifier in a financial account association table maintained securely from a user interface; associating the customer image identifier with user image selection data based on user selections made on the user interface in relation to a graphical representation of at least a portion of an original image held in an image store; and applying the personalized image to the financial account access means, the personalized image being based on the user image selection data associated with the customer image identifier. | 03-31-2011 |
| 20110088573 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PRINTING BY CAPILLARY EMBOSSING - A method of printing is disclosed. The method comprises embossing a capillary structure onto a receiving layer, and depositing a liquid material to fill the capillary structure. | 04-21-2011 |
| 20160082759 | Apparatus for Stamping Belts - A device for imprinting a leather belt or other comparable accessory contains a structural body and a longitudinal cavity. The belt is held in place by a central panel, a first rail, and a second rail of the structural body. More specifically, the belt is held stationary in a belt receiving channel which is delineated by a surface of the central panel, the first rail, and the second rail. When the belt is held stationary, the longitudinal cavity is used to imprint a stamp on the belt. In doing so, a stamp body which contains a preferred stamp is positioned in the longitudinal cavity and struck with a mallet or similar device which can produce a considerable force. Since the belt receiving channel is accessible through the longitudinal cavity, the stamp is imprinted on the belt with minimum effort. | 03-24-2016 |
| 20160136944 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR IMPRINTING COLLARS - A pet collar imprinting device includes a housing having a printing assembly and a heating assembly thereon. A pet product motion platform assembly carries the pet product, and a hold down assembly engages the pet product on the platform assembly. A drive mechanism moves the platform assembly to the printing assembly and to the heating assembly. A heating assembly drive mechanism moves the heating assembly toward and away from the pet product. | 05-19-2016 |

| 20110155000 | Apparatus and Method for Making a Smoking Article - An apparatus for making a smoking article, the smoking article having a rod of smoke able material ( | 06-30-2011 |
| 101006000 | Rotary | 2 |
| 20080202362 | Substrate modification techniques for decorative purposes - Instruments for modifying flat substrates to emboss, imprint or cut one or more patterns thereon includes an operative unit for modifying the substrate and structure which positions the substrate relative to the operative unit to enable the unit to interact with the substrate and modify it. Several different combinations of operative units and positioning structure are envisioned with each providing a different form of the substrate. The different combinations may be used together to create a piece of art from individually modified substrates. | 08-28-2008 |
| 20090050001 | Device for the treatment of packaging foils - The invention relates to a device for the treatment of packaging foils, comprising a first embossing unit having at least one embossing roll provided with embossing structures ( | 02-26-2009 |

| 20140216281 | MACHINE AND METHOD FOR MARKING ARTICLES - The present invention relates to a machine for marking articles that includes a marking head applying a marking force on an article along to a first axis; a positioning system positioning the article facing the marking head and generally along a perpendicular second axis; and a support system supporting the article during marking by the marking head. The positioning system comprises at least one carriage-turret for supporting the article. When the article is positioned facing the marking head by the at least one carriage-turret, this carriage-turret has a degree of freedom along a direction parallel to the first axis. The support system and/or the at least one carriage-turret includes backlash means along a direction parallel to a perpendicular third axis, to compensate for the shape defects of the article during application of the marking force. | 08-07-2014 |
