A system and method for manufacturing a strip or label used to place a substantially invisible identifying mark is disclosed. A strip is treated by removing at least one area of a liner element, a film layer and an adhesive layer. Each one of the removed areas is substantially congruent with the other removed areas. A laser or other ablating device is used to remove the areas through vaporization. The strip element is peeled away from the liner element, exposing the adhesive layer. The adhesive layer is thereafter pressed against a substantially flat metal surface. The laminate top coat and the film layer are removed from the object, leaving the adhesive layer in place. The adhesive material is impregnated with a UV sensitive material, but is otherwise invisible.

A label for being applied, by being wrapped around, to an object to be identified, includes a non-adhesive top side including a printing region for receiving a print on the top side and an adhesive bottom side, by which the label is fastened to the object. The label is in the shape of a strip having a length that is greater than a periphery of the object to be labeled. A transparent wrapping tab is arranged adjacently to the printing region in a longitudinal direction of the label. A length of the wrapping tab is at least equal to the periphery of the object to be labeled. The wrapping tab is wrapped on the printing region and covers the printing region when the label has been applied to the object. An RFID transponder is arranged between the top side and the bottom side in the printing region.

An identification tag is described that includes a tab portion having a unique identifier, an anchor portion, and a tether portion connecting the tab portion to the anchor portion. The anchor portion has a permanent pressure sensitive adhesive to secure the tag to one of a patch cable or a port disposed in a patch panel. In an exemplary aspect, the tag portion, anchor portion and the tether portion of the tag are formed as an integral structure. The unique identifier is a two-dimensional code, that is printed as an inversed image to provide improved network security and prevent reading of the unique identifiers by unapproved reading devices.

A method for producing a semi-finished spectacle lens and a semi-finished spectacle lens includes identifying the semi-finished spectacle lens by applying a removable sticker having a unique code to the semi-finished spectacle lens. The semi-finished spectacle lens has an embossed code that is engraved into the semi-finished spectacle lens. The sticker is applied to at least partially cover the embossed code. The sticker can be applied directly onto the semi-finished spectacle lens early in the manufacturing process, for example immediately after molding or injection molding. The sticker can also be applied to the semi-finished spectacle lens before further surface treatment is carried out.

A sensory totem badge capable of transmitting individualized information and includes: a totem badge body attached or sewed onto an object surface; an e-tag, installed to the totem badge body, and including an NFC chip and an NFC coil; and a totem individualized information, stored in the e-tag or a cloud server; such that when a mobile sensing device is near the e-tag of the totem badge body, the implication represented by a totem on the totem badge body, the story behind it, or private words can be read. Therefore, the totem badge body is given with intangible specificity and commemoration to achieve higher value and sense of technology.

A lockout tag having an elongate flag; a fastener proximate one end of the elongate flag; a seam proximate an end opposite the fastener; a warning indicia between the fastener end and the seam end of the elongate flag; and the elongate flag formed of a reflective and fluorescent material. The flag further comprising a pouch for additional information regarding the owner and purpose of the flag.

A printable magnetic label tape including a magnetic first layer and a printable second layer. The printable magnetic label tape includes spaced apart transverse oriented lines of weakness along the length of the label tape. A printable magnetic label, and methods of making.

A computer system generates information describing authenticity and a grade of a collectible scanned by a scanning device. A feature vector is extracted from the information. The feature vector includes a first set of features and a second set of features. The first set of features is matched to authenticity profiles of collectible items. Each authenticity profile characterizes at least one collectible item across multiple features. A confidence score is generated with respect to the authenticity of the collectible based on the authenticity profiles. The second set of features is matched to grade profiles of the collectible items. A grade score describing the grade of the collectible is generated based on the grade profiles. The grade of the collectible is determined based on the grade score. A graphical representation of the grade and the confidence score is transmitted to a display device.

A holder for display content is described. The display holder includes a main section, a first side panel, and a second side panel. The main section provides a base, a back panel, and a front panel. The back panel protrudes from a back edge of the base. The front panel protrudes from a front edge of the. The first side panel is attached to a first edge of the main section and the second side panel is attached to a second edge of the main section. The main section, the first side panel, and the second side panel define a recess for receiving the display content. A plurality of dividers are provided that securely fit the width of the main section receiving the display content.

A mattress age indicating device includes an enclosure and an indicating assembly contained within the enclosure. The age indicating device may be configured to present an indication related to the mattress's age and may be coupled to the mattress or other bedding or seating product.
