Decorative patches and methods of using decorative patches are described herein. Contemplated methods can provide non-pharmacological analgesia to a patient having a cast after a medical procedure. Contemplated decorative patches can comprise a first material layer and a second adhesive layer. In some aspects, the first material layer can comprise a napped fabric material. In some aspects, the second adhesive layer can comprise a zinc-oxide containing adhesive. In some aspects, the first material layer and the second adhesive layer can compose a moleskin adhesive such as those used for blisters.

A tag for marking a defective portion of an electrode for a secondary battery and a manufacturing method thereof are provided. More specifically, the tag for marking a defective portion of an electrode is simply attached to a place recognized as having a defect in an electrode for a secondary battery produced by an automation process. So, the tag for marking a defective portion of an electrode for a secondary battery is formed as release paper applied with color contrasted with the color of the tag for marking is laminated so that a light sensor installed in an automatic tag feeder identifies the release paper and the tag for marking without an error to automatically supply the tag for marking when supplying the tag for marking a defective portion of an electrode by the automatic tag feeder.

Coextruded acrylic foils made from impact-modified polyalkyl (meth)acrylates and laser engravable labels containing these foils. The coextruded acrylic foils are designed for labelling by a laser and contain a contrast layer having at least one inorganic filler and an engraving layer arranged on the contrast layer and having at least one colourant.

A wireless communication tape, dispenser of the same and methods of usage of the wireless tape and the dispenser in asset tracking applications are disclosed. The wireless communication tape can be manufactured in an ultrathin form factor by laminating a stack of layers to impart functionality to the wireless communication tape. Methods of use and operation of the wireless communication tape are disclosed to save battery resources of the communication tape. The wireless communication tape may be used to form shipping labels that are printed in a printer and that include a 5G and Bluetooth communication capability to track a location of a package. Examples of 5G wireless protocols include the LPWAN protocols of NB-IoT and LTE-M.

The present invention relates to a planar sealing element for application to a substrate, comprising a backing layer and at least one, preferably several, functional layer(s), wherein the at least one functional layer is a color display layer, wherein the sealing element furthermore has an adhesive layer for attachment to the substrate, wherein the at least one functional layer is arranged between the backing layer and adhesive layer, wherein the backing layer has a surface texture and/or the backing layer furthermore has an adhesion-controlling layer as a further functional layer so that the backing layer is at least partially detachable from the at least one functional layer in order to change the sealing element from a first state to a second state, wherein the second state is not transferrable to the first state, wherein the sealing element in the second state comprises a peeled-off layer, comprising at least the at least partially detached backing layer, and a residue, comprising at least parts of the adhesive layer and at least parts of the at least one color display layer, and wherein the backing layer is made of a translucent or transparent plastic, wherein, according to the invention, it is provided that the backing layer has nanostructures and/or microstructures on at least one of its surfaces, wherein the peeled-off layer has, in at least one area in which no or only small portions of the at least one color display layer adhere when the peeled-off layer is congruently arranged on the residue, a different color appearance than the same area of the backing layer in the first state, in any viewing direction onto the backing layer.

A method as well as a device for producing a component part (1), wherein a label (2) with a flexible layer structure comprising a carrier layer (23) and a further layer (22) and/or one or more electrical and/or electronic and/or optical and/or optoelectronic components (261) is received by a label receiver (20), wherein a carrier (3) is received by a carrier receiver (30), wherein a flowable adhesive (4) is applied to the label (2) and/or the carrier (3) in one or more defined first shapes and a defined relative movement (45) of the label receiver (20) and the carrier receiver (30) is carried out, wherein the adhesive (4) is arranged between the label (2) and the carrier (3), with the result that one or more adhesive layers (41) are obtained, and wherein an at least partial curing and/or crosslinking of the one or more adhesive layers is then carried out.
