Information is stored in an optical element in the form of a glass or plastic body embodied as spectacles lens, spectacles lens blank or spectacles lens semi-finished product. The information in the form of data is stored on or in the glass or plastic body by creating at least one marking with a marking system. The marking can be read by a reading apparatus. The marking system has an interface for reading information individualizing the optical element. The marking is created permanently by the marking system on or in the optical element at a definition point of a local body-specific coordinate system set by two points on or in the optical element. In this body coordinate system, the manufacturer specifies the position of the lens horizontal and/or the far and/or the near and/or the prism reference point.

The present disclosure describes techniques for fabricating a textile article that incorporates bristle-like filaments that protrude away from a surface plane of the textile article. More specifically, a textile article is fabricated from a laminate formed by curing a reinforcement fiber matrix and a resin substrate. The resin substrate may include magnetic particles the react to a magnetic field introduced during the curing process. Prior to cure, the influence of a magnetic field may cause the magnetic particles within the resin substrate to protrude away from a surface plane of the wet laminate, thus causing the resin substrate itself to form bristle-like filaments. The shape and contour of a design (i.e., arrangement of bristle-like filaments) may be functionally controlled by an arrangement of magnets, and/or magnetic particles used to generate the magnet field that manipulates the resin substrate during the curing process.

The present disclosure is drawn to radiation embossable coated print media. In one example, a radiation embossable coated print medium can include a print substrate, an expanding coating layer on the print substrate, and an ink receiving layer on the expanding coating layer. The expanding coating layer can include a flexible polymer binder and temperature responsive thermoplastic beads in the flexible polymeric binder. The temperature responsive thermoplastic beads can include a propellant encapsulated in a thermoplastic polymer shell.

A composite is provided to include an elastomer substrate comprising methyl groups. The composite may also include a layer of glass comprising SiO.sub.2 formed over the elastomer substrate. A method of fabricating the composite is provided. The method may include diffusing an ozone-rich gas into the substrate of an elastomer substrate comprising methyl groups. The method may also include exposing the elastomer substrate to UV radiation for a period of time. The method may further include converting a surface portion of the elastomer substrate into a layer of glass formed over the elastomer substrate.

Various embodiments disclose a molding compound comprising a resin, a filler, and a carbon nano-tube dispersion and methods of forming a package using the molding compound are disclosed. The carbon non-tube dispersion has a number of carbon nano-tubes with surfaces that are chemically modified by a functional group to chemically bridge the surfaces of the carbon nano-tubes and the resin, improving adhesion between the carbon nano-tubes and the resin and reducing agglomeration between various ones of the carbon nano-tubes. The carbon nano-tube dispersion achieves a low average agglomeration size in the molding compound thereby providing desirable electro-mechanical properties and laser marking compatibility. A shallow laser mark may be formed in a mold cap with a maximum depth of less than about 10 microns. Other apparatuses and methods are disclosed.

The present invention relates to a 3-dimensional complex multilayer structure. The 3-dimensional complex multilayer structure includes a first pattern and a second pattern having different thicknesses formed on one or both surfaces of a plate. The first pattern is selected from the group consisting of parallel lines, parallel curves, parallel zigzag lines, and combinations thereof which do not meet each other. The second pattern is not parallel to the first pattern and is selected from the group consisting of parallel lines, parallel curves, parallel zigzag lines, and combinations thereof which do not meet each other. The interfaces between the first pattern and the second pattern form figures selected from the group consisting of polygons, circles, ellipses, and combinations thereof. The figures are repetitively formed on one or both surfaces of the plate. The 3-dimensional complex multilayer structure includes different complex patterns, whereas a conventional device has a kind of simple pattern. The 3-dimensional complex multilayer structure of the present invention can be manufactured by a simple process. Therefore, the 3-dimensional complex multilayer structure of the present invention can find application in various fields, including optical components for displays (e.g., light guide plates, diffusion plates, prisms, and color filters), next generation displays and display devices (e.g., TFTs, OTFTs, oxide TFTs, flexible displays, and transparent displays), next generation 3-dimensional semiconductors, dry adhesion based on the use of fine ciliary structures, micro/nano piezoelectric devices, lighting optical components, and biocell/virus research using micropatterns.
