The mounting assembly includes a bottom panel and a mounting panel extending inside the groove and attached to the frame and the bottom panel. The mounting assembly also includes a plurality of T-nuts extending through the mounting panel inside a plurality of the holes of the bottom panel. The T-nuts ate adapted to receive a plurality of mounting bolts extending from the surface to facilitate the attachment of the frame to the surface.
Ink jet printer production techniques
Techniques for operating a printer are provided. In an example, the printer can include a print head a cure light and a controller. The controller can be configured to move the print head relative to a print media to print a given image, to move the cure light relative to the print media at a cure speed in response to the cure light passing over a printed portion of the given image to cure the ink of the given image, and to move the cure light at an index speed in response to the cure light passing over a non-printed portion of the given image, wherein the index speed is greater than the cure speed.
ENERGY CURABLE INKS AND COATINGS WITH PEROXIDES
The present invention provides an improved method for curing multi-layer constructs of energy curable (EC) inks and coatings with actinic radiation. In the method, one or more layers of EC inks and/or coatings comprising materials that can crosslink or polymerize when exposured to actinic radiation, e.g., monomers, oligomers or polymers, are applied to a substrate, which EC inks and coatings contain little or no photoinitiators. This is followed by applying one or more layers of non-EC inks and/or coatings, which comprise one or more organic peroxides but no readily polymerizable components, over the top of the layers of energy curable inks and/or coatings; and exposing the layers to actinic radiation.
FORCE SENSOR CONTROLLED CONDUCTIVE HEATING ELEMENTS
Described herein are methods for forming resistive heaters and force sensing elements on a flexible substrate, and devices that include these elements to provide a force responsive conductive heater, such as a seat heater in a vehicle. The methods include printing a conductive ink on a flexible substrate that is heated to 30° C. to 90° C. before and/or during the printing process and curing the substrate to produce a conductive pattern thereon. The conductive inks generally include a particle-free metal-complex composition formulated from at least one metal complex and a solvent, and optionally, a conductive filler material.
METHOD AND DEVICE FOR CURING A COATING, AND LAMINATE OBTAINED THEREWITH
