A package film is provided for attaching to a base member to define a package. The package film construction includes a top layer having a top surface and a bottom surface. A removable adhesive is provided having a defined pattern applied below the bottom surface. A polyethylene (PE) emulsion layer is provide that covers at least a portion of the adhesive pattern, with the PE emulsion layer being heat sealable to the base member.

A 3D object according to the invention involves substrate layers infiltrated by a hardened material. The 3D object may be fabricated by a method comprising the following steps: Flatten a substrate layer. Position powder on all or part of a substrate layer. Repeat this step for the remaining substrate layers. Stack the substrate layers. Transform the powder into a substance that flows and subsequently hardens into the hardened material. The hardened material solidifies in a spatial pattern that infiltrates positive regions in the substrate layers and does not infiltrate negative regions in the substrate layers. In a preferred embodiment, the substrate is carbon fiber and excess substrate is removed by abrasion. Flattening a substrate layer involves reducing planar inconsistencies or imperfections, and comprises applying heat to each substrate layer, cooling the substrate layers, and optionally applying tension and/or pressure to the heated and cooled substrate layers.

The present disclosure is directed to light converter assemblies with enhanced heat dissipation. A light converter assembly may comprise a confinement material applied to at least a first substrate and a phosphor material also deposited on the first substrate so as to be surrounded by the confinement material. The first substrate may be hermetically sealed to a second substrate using the confinement material so that the phosphor material is confined between the substrates and protected from atmospheric contamination. The substrates may comprise, for example, sapphire to allow for light beam transmission and heat conductance. Confinement materials that may be employed to seal the first substrate to the second substrate may include, for example, silicon or a metal (e.g., silver, copper, aluminum, etc.) The phosphor material may comprise, for example, at least one quantum dot material.

A thermal transfer sheet includes a transfer layer on a substrate. The transfer layer has one or more layers. The critical shearing stress of the transfer layer is within the range of 0.910.sup.8 N/m.sup.2-210.sup.8 N/m.sup.2. The transfer layer has a release force of 7.510.sup.2 N/cm or less, while the transfer layer is continuously transferred onto a transfer receiving article by use of a thermal printer under conditions including an applied energy of 0.127 mJ/dot and a conveying speed for the thermal transfer sheet of 84.6 mm/sec. The transfer layer transferred onto the transfer receiving article is released from the thermal transfer sheet at a release angle of 50.

A colouring structure comprising: a substrate, and a colouring layer disposed on at least a part of the substrate; the substrate and the colouring layer are made from different materials and have different water absorption properties, the colouring structure comprises a plurality of colouring areas and at least one separating area, wherein the colouring area is at least partially defined by the separating area. The colouring structure allows the user to easily grasp the pattern engraved on the colouring structure, which can rapidly absorb the liquid such as ink added to the surface thereof and effectively slow the horizontal diffusion of the liquid added to the colouring layer. For liquids with high water content, the high water absorption of the colouring structure avoids or effectively reduces accidents caused by the use of high-water-content liquids, such as liquid leakage, and liquid spillage and dirtying clothes or body parts over large areas.

A transferable film includes a carrier layer and an intermediate film portion. The carrier layer is configured to receive one or more additional layers and to be releasable from the one or more additional layers temporally proximate to an application of the transferable film to an object. The intermediate film portion includes a readable conductive image portion and is configured for application thereto of an adhesive layer. The intermediate film portion is configured to be interposed between the carrier layer and the adhesive layer, and the adhesive layer configured to adhere to the object for the application of the transferable film to the object.

A flexible connector system for connecting a patient to a piece of medical monitoring equipment. The system has sensors that are applied to the body. A ribbon connector interconnects the sensors to a monitoring machine. The ribbon connector has a plurality of conductive leads printed upon a dielectric flexible substrate in a conductive ink. The ribbon connector has a first section and a second section, wherein the first section is solid and the section is divided into a plurality of strips. Each of the strips supports one of the conductive leads and terminates with one of said plurality of sensors.

A single-cup brew lid material comprises: a compostable printed layer; and a compostable layer that is sealable to PLA single-cup brew containers.

A heat transfer label assembly comprises a carrier, a release layer overlying a first side of the carrier, and a primer overlying the release layer such that the release layer is disposed between the carrier and the primer. The primer may comprise at least one polyacrylic acid polymer.
