A connector and labeling forming method thereof is provided. The method includes: a laser engraving device generating a laser beam, and controlling the laser beam to engrave a label on a labeling part of a metal shell of a connector. The connector includes a metal shell and a label. The metal shell has a labeling part and the label is engraved on the labeling part by a laser beam. As such, the invention can engrave the label on the labeling part of the metal shell of the connector by using the laser engraving technology to replace the traditional self-adhesive label, thereby being able to solve all the problems caused by the self-adhesive label.

The invention relates to a method for applying a marking on an object according to image data, wherein the image data comprises pixels with first pixel values and pixels with second pixel values, and wherein the marking to be produced comprises several cells, each cell corresponding to one pixel of the image data, in which at least one light beam is emitted with light emitting means; a deflection direction of scanning means for deflecting the light beam is scanned over the object; when the deflection direction points at a cell corresponding to a pixel with a first pixel value, the light emitting means are activated to produce a mark in that cell; and; when the deflection direction points at a cell corresponding to a pixel with a second pixel value, the light emitting means are deactivated to leave that cell blank. The method is characterized in that the deflection direction is altered in a meander pattern for cells that correspond to pixels with first pixel values, and in a straight movement for cells that correspond to pixels with second pixel values. The invention further relates to a marking apparatus for applying a marking on an object.

A ceramic green sheet including a plurality of substrate forming regions. A barcode or a two-dimensional code is drawn in a portion of the ceramic green sheet. The barcode or the two-dimensional code is obtained by encoding one or more of the following information. Information relating to raw materials used when the ceramic green sheet is produced, information relating to molding conditions of the ceramic green sheet, information relating to a release agent used when a plurality of the ceramic green sheets are stacked, or a serial number.

An automatic desktop personalization device, for security booklet documents, includes a camera, an inkjet printing module, a laser marking module, a chip encoding module, and a transport mechanism. The inkjet printing module includes a printing head and is configured to print within a printing zone. The laser marking module is configured to mark within a marking zone. The transport mechanism is configured to automatically transport a security booklet document along a Y-axis linear direction, from an entrance to an exit, through printing positions and a marking position. The entrance and the exit are the same. The printing head is movable alongside an X-axis linear direction that is perpendicular to the Y-axis linear direction. The inkjet printing module includes the transport mechanism. The laser marking head is adjacent an inkjet printing bridge, such that the marking zone and the printing zone are at least partly combined.

A container includes: a container body; a cap to seal the container body; an identification code on a top surface of the cap; and multiple concaves on the container body. The multiple concaves on the container body forms a first image having a first area, the identification code on the cap forms a second image having a second area smaller than the first area, the container body has a first diffuse reflectance difference between the first image and a portion excluding the first image, and the identification code has a second diffuse reflectance difference between a code portion and a background portion excluding the code portion in the second image. The second diffuse reflectance difference is larger than the first diffuse reflectance difference.

The present disclosure provides a method and control apparatus for burning an address code of LED lamp beads, and relates to the technical field of LEDs. The method for burning the address code of the LED lamp beads described by the present disclosure is applied to a burner and includes: generating, by the burner, an optical signal; and sending the optical signal to the LED lamp beads such that the LED lamp beads sense the optical signal, convert the optical signal into an address code and store the address code. The present disclosure makes use of a light sensing effect of the LED lamp beads, sends the optical signal to the LED lamp beads through the burner such that the LED lamp beads generate an address code according to the optical signal, and burn the address code into the LED lamp beads.

In accordance with one aspect, the present disclosure is directed to methods, systems and machine readable media including computer programs to track information for an article of manufacture. An illustrative method includes providing a blank tag for the article of manufacture, and forming a marked tag from the blank tag by forming at least one character on the blank tag using a light source, such as a laser. The at least one character can be encoded with information relating to the article of manufacture.

A barcoded end facet printed photonic chip includes: an optically transparent direct laser writing substrate including a transverse waveguide writing surface to receive a direct write laser light for off-axis direct write laser printing and a facet surface to receive the direct write laser light for on-axis direct write laser printing of a barcode-guided direct laser written optical coupling on the facet surface; a waveguide disposed in the optically transparent direct laser writing substrate and in optical communication with the facet surface; and an optically visible bulk impregnated barcode disposed in the optically transparent direct laser writing substrate arranged proximate to the waveguide and in optical communication with the facet surface.

A card-marking system is provided for personalizing plastic cards such as chip cards or identity cards by laser marking. A corresponding method for automated detection of an optimized setting includes a vision sub-system setting process for setting a vision sub-system of the card marking system and a subsequent marking sub-system setting process for setting a marking sub-system of the card-marking system. The card-marking system is designed to carry out the above method fully or semi-automatedly and to this end can include a corresponding computer program controlling the method.
