Three-dimensional printing of a porous matrix on a container
This disclosure describes container(s) having an ultraviolet (UV)-cured matrix and methods to create the same. The glass container according to this disclosure has a bottom and a body extending in a direction away from the bottom along a longitudinal axis. The body has a surface having an UV-cured matrix including UV-curable varnish drops arranged in a plurality of layers and having voids existing therebetween to form a porous matrix structure. A method of printing a UV-cured matrix on a glass container is also disclosed that includes identifying a plurality of locations on a body of the container where the UV-cured matrix will be formed, determining a height value of the UV-cured matrix at each location, applying at least one varnish layer to the body according to an assigned grayscale or numeric value at each location, and applying UV light to cure each respective varnish layer.
Glass articles with low-friction coatings
Coated pharmaceutical packages are disclosed. The coated pharmaceutical packages may Include a glass body formed from borosilicate glass that meets Type 1 criteria according to USP <660> or alkali aluminosilicate glass having a Class HGA 1 hydrolytic resistance when tested according to the ISO 720-1985 testing standard. A low-friction coating comprising a polymer may be positioned on a portion of the exterior surface. A coefficient of friction of an abraded area of the portion of the exterior surface with the low-friction coating may be less than 0.7 after exposure to a temperature of 260° C. for 30 minutes and abrasion under a load of at least 10 N and does not have observable damage. A retained strength of the coated glass article in horizontal compression does not decrease by more than 20% after the temperature exposure and the abrasion.
CONTAINER PACKAGING
There is provided a packaging for a container wherein the packaging is formed from a plurality of shell pieces that are hinged together to wrap around the container. When wrapped around the container, a first shell piece is secured to a second shell piece using a two-point locking feature. The shell pieces are formed with a substantially constant wall thickness such that the packaging substantially conforms to the shape of the container. Thus, advantageously, any distinctiveness in the shape of the container is not lost when wrapped by the packaging.
A CONTAINER
The present invention relates to a container comprising a film substrate, wherein the film substrate comprises graphene or derivative thereof and an adhesive. It further describes method for preparing the container comprising steps of preparing a suspension of graphene or derivative thereof in solvent, providing an adhesive layer, coating the adhesive layer with the suspension, and allowing the solvent to evaporate.
VARIABLE REFRIGERANT FLOW SYSTEM WITH ZONE GROUPING
A controller for a building control system includes processors and memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processors, cause the processors to perform operations including identifying zones within a building, analyzing data associated with the zones, and generating zone groupings based on the data associated with the zones. Each of the zone groupings define zone groups and specify which of the zones are grouped together to form each of the zone groups. The operations also include identifying a particular zone grouping from zone groupings based on the data associated with zones and using the particular zone grouping to generate control signals to operate equipment of the building control system to provide heating or cooling to the zones.
Glass articles with mixed polymer and metal oxide coatings
According to one or more embodiments, a pharmaceutical package may include a glass container and a coating. The glass container may include a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. The first surface may be an outer surface of the glass container. The coating may be positioned over at least a portion of the first surface of the glass container. The coating may include one or more polyimide compositions and one or more metal oxide compositions. The one or more polyimide compositions and the one or more metal oxide compositions may be mixed in the coating.
Systems and methods for printing of removable and permanent images on an object
Systems and methods for printing a plurality of images on a substrate include, for each of the plurality of images: determining whether that image is a removable image or a permanent image, identifying, based on the determination, at least one layer to be used for printing that image in addition to a marking material layer that forms the image. The at least one layer may be a pre-coat layer applied under the marking material layer and/or a post-coat layer applied over the marking material layer. The marking material layer and the at least one layer are then printed on the object.
Container covering
The present application describes a sleeve for retaining a container. The sleeve comprising: a front element, a rear element, and a plurality of side elements. The front element comprises a substantially inelastic material forming a pouch. The front element further comprises a top edge and an exterior surface. The top edge defines a front aperture, and the front element further comprises an elastic collar attached to the top edge. The rear element comprises a substantially inelastic material forming a closeable space. The rear element further comprises a zipper and an exterior surface. The zipper is configured to open and close the closeable space. The plurality of side elements comprise an elastic material.
BOTTLE NECK
Bottle collar with a flange, the bottle comprising a body with a side wall and a shoulder arranged between the collar and the side wall, characterized in that the collar of the bottle comprises at least one protuberance, arranged: between the flange and the body, adjacent to the shoulder.
MANUFACTURING METHOD FOR HEAT-SHRINKABLE LABEL
Provided are a heat-shrinkable label and a package each having solvent bonded-portion where solvent penetration-through is not caused even when the film is thin. Provided are particularly a heat-shrinkable label and a package each having solvent bonded-portion gaining a high peel strength stability even when the film is passed through a tubing step made high in speed. A heat-shrinkable label has a tubular shape, in which both end portions of a heat-shrinkable polyvinyl chloride-based film or a heat-shrinkable polystyrene-based film are bonded to each other with a solvent composition. The solvent composition contains at least one organic solvent selected from the group consisting of tetrahydrofuran (THE), methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) and ethyl acetate, and at least one resin selected from the group consisting of polyester, polypropylene and hydrogenated petroleum resin, and the end portion bonded has a peel strength of 2 N/15 mm or more.
