The present invention relates to a label stock produced from a substrate utilizing adhesive and liner materials and having a plurality of security features on the rear side of the substrate made using specialized inks and various authentication features for different applications.

A method of manufacturing sheeting is provided, the method including the steps of forming multiple recesses in a symmetrical repeat pattern on a sheet of material, extruding a molten material to form an upper outside wall and a lower outside wall, interposing the formed sheet between the upper outside wall and the lower outside wall, and fixing the interposed sheet to the upper outside wall and the lower outside wall. Also provided is sheeting having an upper outside wall and a lower outside wall and an interposed sheet fixed between the outside walls. The interposed sheet includes multiple recesses in a symmetrical repeat pattern, where the upper and lower outside walls are, or the interposed sheet is, manufactured from a material which includes a polymeric material.

Laminated glass for vehicle includes a region with a breaking stress measured by a method described in ISO 1288-5 (2016) of 100 MPa or more and 600 MPa or less. A percentage of the region is greater than or equal to 90% of a see-through region.

A method of fabricating a composite material, the method comprises the steps of a) providing a first layer of a fibre reinforced polymer, preferably a thermoset FRP, b) providing an array of thermoplastic islands across at least a proportion of a major surface of the first layer, c) providing a second layer of a fibre reinforced polymer, preferably a thermoset FRP, d) laying the second layer over at least some of the islands, and e) securing the first and second layers together. There is also disclosed a composite which comprises a first layer of a fibre reinforced polymer and a second layer of a fibre reinforced polymer, between which is an intervening layer comprising an array of thermoplastic islands.

A substrate bonding method which enables forming a precision fine space using a method that is simpler and easier than conventional methods; and a laminated body production method that uses the substrate bonding method. This substrate bonding method includes disposing a first substrate on a photoresist pattern formed on a support film so as to bring the first substrate into contact with a surface of the photoresist pattern located on the side opposite to the support film, and pressure-bonding the support film, the photoresist pattern, and the first substrate; releasing the bonded support film after the pressure-bonding; and disposing a second substrate on the photoresist pattern so as to bring the second substrate into contact with the surface of the photoresist pattern located on the side opposite to the first substrate, and pressure-bonding the first substrate, the photoresist pattern, and the second substrate.

A display device includes a cover window including a curved portion, and a panel member laminated on the cover window. A method of manufacturing a display device includes mounting a cover window including a curved portion on a first jig including a curved portion, mounting a panel member on a second jig that conforms to a surface of the first jig, and laminating the cover window to the panel member by moving a first one of the first jig or the second jig to a first other one of the first jig or the second jig. An apparatus for manufacturing a display device includes a first jig including a mount surface that is partially curved to conform to a surface of a cover window, a second jig including a surface conforming to the mount surface and configured to contact a panel member, and a driving unit.

A method of forming a flexible packaging film includes providing a first web including a polymer sealant layer, the first web having a first major surface and a second major surface opposite the first major surface. A second web including a polymer outer layer is provided, the second web having a third major surface and a fourth major surface opposite the third major surface. An adhesive layer is applied to the second major surface and the first web is laminated to the third major surface. Prior to laminating the first web to the second web, one or more slits are formed in the second web.
