As described above, one or more aspects of the present disclosure provide articles having structural color, and methods of making articles having structural color.

Multilayer articles that include electrical circuits are prepared by the adhesive transfer of electrical circuit elements to the surface of an adhesive. A number of different methodologies are used, with all of the methodologies including the use of simple layers of circuit-forming material on a releasing substrate and structuring to generate circuit elements which can be transferred to an adhesive surface. In some methodologies, a structured releasing substrate is used to selectively transfer circuit-forming material, either from protrusions on the releasing substrate or from depressions on the releasing substrate. In other methodologies, an unstructured releasing substrate is used and either embossed to form a structured releasing substrate or contacted with a structured adhesive layer to selectively transfer circuit-forming material.

A method for processing a surface (2) of a workpiece (1) is disclosed. Besides, a device for performing the method is disclosed.

A braille printing device includes a device body; a linear actuator with an actuator body and an actuator hammer; a liquid ejection unit, including a liquid container a resin piston, and a dispensing tube; a slidable connector with a groove; a vertical stop; a trigger switch; a slide stop member; a slide holder plate including a slide holder back portion, a slide stop member, and first and second sliding rails; and a control unit, such that the braille printing device deposits spherical domes of printing fluid on a printing substrate to form a braille text.

A method is provided for manufacturing panels having a substrate and a decorative top layer that may include a printed motif and a transparent or translucent protective layer formed there above. The method may involve providing the substrate. A finishing layer may be applied for forming a portion of the protective layer. Recesses may be formed at a surface of the finishing layer. Forming the recesses may involve applying a surface structure-altering agent that is colored.

A metallic sheet with deposited structured images and method for manufacture (MSDIMM) that includes a substrate, at least one structural feature, and a metal layer. The structural feature is at least one cavity on the substrate's upper surface, or at least one material object that extends outward from the substrate's upper surface. The metal layer is deposited, either by sputtering or atomic deposition, onto the substrate's upper surface, and, as the metal layer is deposited, the metal layer interfaces with and follows the dimensions of the structural feature(s), thereby creating a visible image at the location(s) of the structural feature(s). The visible image can be any image, and is preferably either an artistic image, a textual image, or an authentication image. The MDSIMM can be used for a variety of purposes, and is especially effective as a form of exonumia or currency.

A sign manufacturing system includes a printing base, a printing panel with a top layer, pressure sensitive adhesive and a transparent bottom layer, a bridge component, a sliding assembly, including an assembly body, a cutting laser, a liquid ejection unit, a curing laser, and a control unit, such that the cutting laser cuts out characters in the top layer without affecting the bottom layer, and such that the liquid ejection unit deposits spherical domes of printing fluid on exposed surface of the transparent bottom layer to form a braille text.

A method for manufacturing a housing, comprising: laminating a first deposition layer on a preform; laminating an intermediate layer on the first deposition layer; laminating a second deposition layer on the intermediate layer; applying a color paint layer on the second deposition layer; delaminating at least some of the color paint layer and the second deposition layer to form at least one delaminated area; and forming a printing layer in the delaminated area, wherein the first deposition layer is visible through at least some areas of the printing layer.

A string art ornament has a patterned mold and at least one string. The patterned mold has a contour line portion and multiple string holes arranged along the contour line portion. The at least one string is mounted through the string holes of the patterned mold. Each of the at least one string extends from one of the string holes to the other string hole continuously. A user does not have to form the outline of the pattern with pins. Therefore, making the string art ornament of the present invention is safe and convenient. Furthermore, in addition to being hung on a wall for decoration, the string art ornament can be worn around a neck of the user like a necklace or connected to a pack or a mobile phone like a charm.
