A method for adhering a label, lettering, ink, a tattoo, sketch, design or color (“indicia”) to a substrate comprising the steps of: providing an indicia-bearing backing paper; moistening the indicia-bearing backing paper to form a moistened indicia-bearing layer; providing an adhesive layer between the moistened indicia-bearing layer and the substrate; placing the moistened indicia-bearing layer on the adhesive layer; allowing the indicia to become separated from the backing paper, leaving the indicia upon the substrate; and drying on the substrate.

A device for arranging a marking around a prolate object includes: a material interface for receiving a printed product provided by a printer; a printing signal interface for acquiring a control signal indicative of the provision of the printed product; a stop for limiting a longitudinal motion of the prolate object along a longitudinal axis in an end position of the prolate object relative to the device; and at least one actuator for, depending on the control signal indicative of the provision of the printed product, arranging the marking in a circumferentially closed manner on the prolate object using the printed product provided by the printer. The prolate object is arranged in the end position.

Methods and systems are described herein for facilitating installation of cables within datacenters without signals being sent/received from outside the datacenter buildings. In particular, the mechanism for facilitating installation of cables within datacenters may include scanning cable codes (e.g., QR codes, bar codes, near field communication (NFC) codes, radio frequency identification (RFID) codes, etc.) and retrieving path information for scanned cable codes. The mechanism then proceeds to track the installation process by scanning codes located throughout a datacenter to verify that the cable installation is proceeding correctly. In instances where a scanned code does not match a code that is expected, based on an order within the path information, an error message is generated indicating that there may be a problem with the cable installation.

A label applicator guide including a base configured to be attached to an elongated object label applicator, and a controller including a first support extending from the base and a second support extending from the first support such that the first support is configured to be planar with a portion of the wrapping mechanism. The controller is moveably secured to the base through a first knuckle of the controller pivotably connected to a second knuckle of the base, with a pin extending through the first knuckle and second knuckle.

A method for adhering a label, lettering, ink, a tattoo, sketch, design or color (“indicia”) to a substrate comprising the steps of: providing an indicia-bearing backing paper; moistening the indicia-bearing backing paper to form a moistened indicia-bearing layer; providing an adhesive layer between the moistened indicia-bearing layer and the substrate; placing the moistened indicia-bearing layer on the adhesive layer; allowing the indicia to become separated from the backing paper, leaving the indicia upon the substrate; and drying on the substrate.

A device for providing a marking arranged or arrangeable in a circumferentially closed manner around a prolate object includes: a material interface for receiving a printed product output from a printer; a data interface for communicating with the printer for a providing or arranging of the marking as a communication; at least one actuator, using the printed product output from the printer, for arranging the marking on the object in a circumferentially closed manner or to provide the marking for circumferentially closed arrangement according to the communication with the printer via the data interface; and a memory readable by the printer via the data interface, the memory storing operational data of the providing or arranging.

A test tube labeling apparatus including a seating portion for test tubes; a rotation driving unit that rotates the seating portion; a rotatably fixed contact sensor that detects contact with a test tube seated in the seating portion; an angle sensor for measuring rotation angle information of the rotation driving unit; a label attaching device; and a processor, wherein the contact sensor generates a contact signal when the test tube contacts the contact sensor, the angle sensor generates rotation angle information of a rotation angle of the rotation driving unit, the processor receives the rotation angle information, identifies outer diameter information of the test tube, identifies the test tube by comparing the identified outer diameter information with the test tube identification information, identifies the labeling information corresponding to the identified test tube, and controls the labeling apparatus so that a label is attached to the identified test tube.
