20080197530 | METHOD FOR FABRICATING A THREE DIMENSIONAL EMBLEM - A method for fabricating a three dimensional emblem is disclosed. An indentation is formed in the back surface of a piece of transparent material. Multiple colors are printed to form a pattern or emblem in the indentation. After printing, the indentation is filled with resin to make the back surface of the piece of transparent material flat. A second indentation is then formed in the filled indentation. When the front surface of the transparent material is viewed, the emblem appears as a three dimensional emblem. Since the emblem is under the front surface of the transparent material, the three dimensional emblem is protected and cannot be inadvertently dislodged from the transparent material. | 08-21-2008 |
20080296799 | Methods and Devices for the Production of Solid Filaments in a Vacuum Chamber - Disclosed are methods for producing a solid filament from a liquid in a vacuum chamber, comprising the following steps: a gas is liquefied in a heat exchanger apparatus to produce the liquid; and the liquid is delivered into the vacuum chamber via a supply duct and through a nozzle. Liquefying of the gas in the heat exchanger apparatus encompasses adjusting a p-T operating point of the liquid at which the liquid is transformed into the solid aggregate state and forms a collimated and stable jet after being discharged from the nozzle into the vacuum chamber. Also disclosed are nozzle arrangements for producing solid filaments in a vacuum. | 12-04-2008 |
20090146336 | Process for making shrink films with embossed optical or holographic devices - The present invention provides a process for manufacturing an embossed shrink film having one or more embossed devices such as optical devices, optical lenses, holographic images, holographic textures, static images, textured patterns, and graphical text. An embossing tool is provided having a raised image corresponding to the embossed device and a film is embossed by extruding the film across the embossing tool to form the embossed devices in the film. The embossed film is tentered, proportionally stretching the embossed devices along with the film. The tentered film is stored for subsequent forming into a sleeve of film that can be placed about a product and shrunk by heating to form a contoured shrink film on the product, the film retaining the embossed devices in proportion to the shrinkage of the film. | 06-11-2009 |
20090243140 | ART INFUSED FILMS AND METHODS FOR MAKING THE SAME - In certain embodiments, a process for producing clear plastic films comprises creating a high resolution digital art file having a rendering of an image, wherein the image has one or more fill areas and one or more borders composed of a series of vector lines, lines, dots, or marks representing cutting paths of various depths or heights. The image from the art file is assigned depths or heights and converted into a relief file, and subsequently engraved into a die such that the die has one or more engraved paths creating a topography mirroring that of the image in the art file or relief file. A film is then extruded with the image from the die being infused into the film as it is extruded. The resulting film includes one or more engraved paths or lines making up the image, the paths or lines having a maximum depths or heights equal to, and/or greater than one third of the thickness of the film. | 10-01-2009 |
20090302492 | In-mold reprint manufacturing system for thin film texture and a method thereof - An in-mold reprint manufacturing system for thin film texture includes a texture reprint device having a first mold and a second mold and an injection molding machine having a foil feeder, a foil feeder rewinder, a cavity moving plate, and a core fastening plate. The first mold and the second mold of the texture reprint device are pressed onto a thin film to generate a texture on the thin film. The foil feeder and the foil feeder rewinder continuously make the thin film with the texture pass through the core fastening plate. The cavity moving plate has a repeated movement to the core fastening plate to produce a product with the texture by the injection molding way. An in-mold reprint manufacturing method for thin film texture is also disclosed. | 12-10-2009 |
20100301514 | Die Assembly And Method Of Extruding Cellular Ceramic Substrates With A Skin - An extrusion apparatus including a die and a mask are provided such that no slots feed directly into the longitudinal skin forming gap between the mask and the die. In a method of forming a die adapted to improve skin uniformity of extruded cellular ceramic substrates a slotted block of die material is provided including central slots adapted to form a cellular matrix of the substrate and peripheral slots located outwardly of the central slots designed to be covered by a skin former mask and adapted to extrude peripheral batch material. An arcuate skin former is cut corresponding to a target shrinkage so as to intersect the slotted block such that skin flow from tangent slots at 90 degree positions of the die is limited to the peripheral batch material. | 12-02-2010 |
20120025413 | METHOD OF MANUFACTURING GRAPHENE - Provided are a method and apparatus of manufacturing high quality large area graphene in large quantities. The method includes placing a supporting belt, on which a catalyst layer is loaded, into a chamber; increasing a temperature of the catalyst layer by injecting a carbon source into the chamber; forming graphene on the catalyst layer by cooling the catalyst layer; and taking out the supporting belt, on which the catalyst layer, on which the graphene is formed, is loaded, from the chamber to an outside, wherein a ratio between a melting point of the supporting belt and a maximum temperature Tmax of the catalyst metal layer that the catalyst layer is heated in the chamber is equal to or less than 0.6. | 02-02-2012 |
20160040319 | GUSSETED ROTARY SPINNERS FOR PRODUCING FIBER FROM MOLTEN MATERIAL - Rotary spinner apparatuses, systems and methods for producing fibers from molten materials are disclosed. Certain exemplary embodiments include substantially net shape single pattern rotary spinner castings that include gussets extending radially inward from a side wall and axially upward form a lower wall to an upper wall. A dispenser may be structured to supply molten material in a downward direction through a hollow interior of the casting to the lower wall. A plenum may be structured to direct elevated temperature gas toward an exterior surface of the casting. | 02-11-2016 |
