A magnetic erasable writable material for large format applications is disclosed, and includes a cast polyvinylchloride film with a mount surface opposite an etched receiver surface. Also incorporated is a transparent polyester film that has a marking side with a first predetermined hardness and an opposite seal side, laminated to the receiver surface. The marking side includes a clear superstrate that has a second predetermined hardness and applied to the marking side of the polyester film to lower its surface energy. The receiver surface is treated to have a surface energy adjusted to enable improved adherence of printed and preformed graphic elements, which are encapsulated when laminated between the PET film and receiver surface. The superstrate includes a perfluoropolyether, a polyurethane, an acrylated polyurethane, and/or an acrylate resin to harden the material.

Articles are described comprising a substrate and a hardcoat layer disposed on the substrate. The hardcoat layer comprises the hydrolyzed and condensed reaction product of a composition comprising: i) first hydrophobic silane monomer(s) having the formula R.sup.1Si(OR).sub.3 wherein R and R.sup.1 is methyl or ethyl; ii) optional second silane monomer(s) having the formula (R.sup.2).sub.4-mSi(OR).sub.m or Si(OR).sub.4, wherein R, R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are organic groups with the proviso that R.sup.1 is not methyl or ethyl and m ranges from 1 to 3. The hardcoat layer N may further comprises 10 to 30 wt. % silica nanoparticles. A surface layer comprising a hydrophilic silane may be disposed on the hardcoat layer. Also described is a method of using an article having a rewritable surface, hardcoat coating compositions, and methods of making hardcoat compositions and articles.

A phosphorescence and liquid toy comprising a pad having a first substrate and a second substrate wherein a first coating is applied to the first substrate. A second coating applied to the first coating and the first substrate wherein the second substrate is attached to the back side of the first substrate. The first coating having a liquid reactive material and the second coating having a phosphorescent reactive material. A pen having a cylindrical tube terminating in a tip on one end and opening on the other end creating a refillable reservoir wherein the reservoir is filled with liquid and a cap is removably attached to the opening.

Coating compositions useable to form markable-erasable coatings and surfaces on a wide range of substrates are disclosed. The coating compositions generally include a first silane monomer, and one or both of a second silane monomer and a metal oxide. The compositions may include 40-100 wt. % of the one or more silane monomers and up to 60 wt. % of the metal oxide based on the total solids weight in the coating composition, and an acid catalyst and a sufficient amount of water to form hydrolysates of the silane monomers. The first silane monomer may include a trialkoxy functional silane, and the second silane monomer may include a tetraalkoxy silane. The coating composition may be provided as a two-component system that does not cure to form a hardened coating until the two components are mixed. Articles coated with the coating, and methods of forming markable-erasable articles are also disclosed.

A marker board system having a dark colored, low hardness, low surface energy solid silicone sheet to wet to a vertically oriented high surface energy substrate on a smooth, flat back-side of the solid silicone sheet. A front-side of the solid silicone sheet is able to be written upon by brightly colored marker ink. The brightly colored marker ink is able to be easily erased from the front-side of the solid silicone sheet after being written upon the front-side of the solid silicone sheet.

The table with a porcelain-enameled steel tabletop provides a magnetic, erasable writing surface directly on the tabletop. The tabletop is defined by opposed upper and lower surfaces and a peripheral side edge, and is formed from porcelain-enameled steel. The porcelain-enameled steel may include a steel layer, having opposed upper and lower surfaces, and a porcelain layer enameled on the upper surface of the steel layer. The porcelain layer defines the upper surface of the tabletop, providing the magnetic, erasable writing surface. At least one leg is secured to the lower surface of the tabletop and extends downwardly therefrom. A protective strip may be secured to, and cover, the peripheral side edge of the tabletop. The protective strip may further be secured to, and cover, a portion of the upper surface of the tabletop and a portion of the lower surface of the tabletop.

Applications of solid wetting adhesives are described. The Applications include a splash guard, a marker board system, a system to vertically support an item of interest, double side adhesive tape and a cornered mounting piece.

Dry erase articles are described comprising a writable surface layer comprising a cured hardcoat composition comprising the reaction product of certain low surface energy compound(s). In one embodiment, the compound(s) comprise a C18-C36 hydrocarbon group and an ethylenically unsaturated group. In another embodiment, a mixture of compounds is utilized, the mixture comprising first compounds comprising a C18-C36 hydrocarbon group and an ethylenically unsaturated group and second compounds comprising a C8-C17 hydrocarbon group and an ethylenically unsaturated group, wherein the first and second compound are present at a weight ratio of 3:2 to 4:1.

An evidence ecosystem that includes a capture system that detects physical properties in the environment around the capture system and captures data related to the physical properties. The capture system analyzes the captured data in accordance with patterns to detect characteristics and patterns in the captured data. Upon detecting a characteristic or a pattern, the capture system records the identified data and alignment data that identifies the location of the identified data in the captured data. The capture system sends the captured data, identified data, and alignment data to an evidence management system for use in generating reports and producing redacted copies of the captured data for distribution or presentation.
