A flexible packaging laminate has built-in opening/reclose and tam per-evidence features by forming the laminate from an outer structure joined in face-to-face relation to an inner structure. Score lines are formed in both structures to enable an opening to be formed through the laminate by lifting a flap or the like out of the plane of the laminate. The score line through the outer structure defines a larger opening than the score line through the inner structure, such that a marginal region of the outer structure extends beyond the edge of the opening portion of the inner structure. A pressure-sensitive adhesive is used to re-adhere the marginal region to an underlying surface of the inner structure adjacent the opening through the laminate. The outer score line includes at least one tab positioned within a heat seal region of the laminate.

A method for preparing a patterned substrate includes selectively etching any one segment block of a self-assembled block copolymer from a laminate having a substrate; wherein a block copolymer membrane is formed on the substrate and the substrate contains the self-assembled block copolymer. According to the method, the self-assembled pattern of the block copolymer can be efficiently and accurately transferred on the substrate to prepare a patterened substate.

The present invention provides an information processing apparatus including a processing unit configured to perform a process of outputting information indicating a contact state between a mold and a composition on a substrate, wherein the processing unit obtains a plurality of points representing a contour shape of a portion where the mold and the composition on the substrate are in contact with each other while at least one process of a contact process and a mold releasing process is performed, and outputs the information indicating the contact state based on the plurality of points.

An imprint method provided herein includes the steps of: adding a soluble material to a master mold; solidifying the soluble material to form a soluble mold having a mold pattern; adhering a dissociable tape to the soluble mold to separate the soluble mold from the master mold; placing the soluble mold onto a polymer layer of a workpiece for imprint; applying a high temperature and a pressure to the soluble mold to allow the polymer layer having an imprint pattern corresponding to the mold pattern and solidification, and to dissociate the tape; and providing a solvent to dissolve the soluble mold to obtain an imprint workpiece having the imprint pattern.

An imprint apparatus includes an ejection device which ejects ejection material and a substrate stage which moves a substrate in a first direction and a second direction intersecting with the first direction. The imprint apparatus causes the ejection device to eject ejection material to the substrate while moving the substrate stage. At the time of ejecting ejection material to a second field adjacent to a first field in succession to an ejection to the first field in the first direction, the ejection device accepts an ejection start signal for the second field and determines an ejection start timing in the second field before ejection operation in the first field is completed.

A position detection apparatus comprises an obtaining unit that obtains an image of a moiré that occurs due to first and second diffraction gratings overlapping; and a processor configured to perform a periodic analysis of a luminance distribution of the obtained image of the moiré, obtain a phase measurement value of the luminance distribution, and obtain a relative positioning between the first and second diffraction gratings, wherein the processor determines a phase shift amount for making the obtained phase measurement value be a value outside of a predetermined range including a discontinuous part of the phase, and performs a phase shift to shift the obtained phase measurement value by the determined phase shift amount, and obtains the relative positioning based on the phase-shifted phase measurement value.

An imprint apparatus that transfers a pattern of a mold to an imprint material on a substrate, includes: a mold having a pattern region in which the pattern is formed; a substrate holding unit having a substrate mounting surface on which the substrate is mounted; a driving unit configured to drive the mold and press the mold against the substrate coated with an imprint material at three or more positions; and a control unit configured to control a pressing force of the driving unit based on a distance in an XY plane parallel to the substrate mounting surface between the driving unit and a top portion of a convex shape of at least one of the mold and the substrate deformed by the deformation mechanism.

The invention relates to a belt roller system for applying a surface structure in a floor panel or wall panel, said system comprising at least one upper endless belt and at least one lower endless belt, wherein each belt is rotatable around at least two pulleys, and at least one drive unit for rotating the upper endless belt and/or the lower endless belt. At least part of the upper endless belt comprises a surface structure and/or at least part of the lower endless belt comprises a surface structure. The upper endless belt and the lower endless belt are positioned substantially parallel to each other such that a panel can be transported between the upper endless belt and the lower endless belt such that the surface structure of the upper endless belt and/or the surface structure of the lower endless belt is transferred into the panel upon transport of the panel between said upper endless belt and said lower endless belt.
