A film attaching jig (III) is used in a method for fabricating a lens array to attach a pressure-sensitive adhesive optical film (D) onto an adhesion area (i) and has: (1) a main body having a first end face in a z-direction being an end face to be directed to a film-containing base plate (II) and a lens array main unit (I); (2) a film holding projection that is provided on the first end face and protrudes in parallel to the z-direction toward the film-containing base plate (II) and the lens array main unit (I), the film holding projection having a holding area (iii) at its front end face for temporarily holding the pressure-sensitive adhesive optical film (D); and (3) a pair of pins or holes disposed on the first end face in parallel to the z-direction, and provided at opposite positions over the film holding projection.

A method and apparatus for forming a composite part. An apparatus comprises a tooling plate, a tab co-bonded with the tooling plate, and a group of alignment features associated with the tab. The tooling plate is configured for use with a tool to form a composite part. The group of alignment features is configured to position the tooling plate with respect to the tool used to form the composite part.

A method for producing a composite multi-layered absorbent article. At least two of the layers include a colored region.

Methods of making adhesive articles providing air egress by supplying a route for the air to flow out from under the construction are described. One method includes providing a release liner comprising a moldable layer having a release surface and a back surface; applying a first pattern of a first non-adhesive material to a first portion of the release surface; applying a second pattern of a second non-adhesive material to a second portion of the release surface, wherein the second pattern partially overlaps the first pattern; embedding at least one of the first or second non-adhesive materials into the moldable layer; and transferring an adhesive layer having a front and back surface and end edges onto the release liner, wherein the front surface of the adhesive layer is adhered to the release surface of the release liner.

An apparatus for medical diagnosis and/or treatment is provides. The apparatus includes a flexible substrate forming an inflatable body and a plurality of sensing elements disposed on the flexible substrate. The plurality of sensing elements are disposed about the inflatable body such that the sensing elements are disposed at areas of minimal curvature of the inflatable body in a deflated state.
