The second adhesive layer is releasably engaged with the first backing layer and the tape is configured so that the tape can be applied to an article using the first adhesive layer and, after removal from the article, the first backing layer can be removed so that the second backing layer can be applied to the article using the second adhesive layer.

The present invention relates to a labeling element for items, which on a surface thereof is formed with a plurality of pixels with periodic lattice structures, in particular linear lattice structures. Lattice structures with in each case one structural period A and an alignment of the structural elements, which are aligned to one another in particular in a linear parallel manner, at an angle φ with respect to an axis of reference are formed in individual pixels such that when the pixels constituting the labeling element are irradiated with electromagnetic radiation, preferably monochromatic electromagnetic radiation, an image of the labeling element is created on an detector array or a surface, by means of images of at least one order of diffraction of the electromagnetic radiation diffracted by pixels which can be used for identification of the respective labeling element.

The present invention involves the use of a two-step membrane system for gas separations. In this two-step membrane system, the membrane system comprises high selectivity and high permeance membranes. The two-step membrane system includes a first membrane section, a second membrane section and an ejector configured to increase the pressure of a lower permeate using the energy from a higher permeate gas pressure. The process provides increase in product recovery and product purity of the product gases. It can also save the cost compared to the system using compressors and external energy to drive the separation of gases.

An object of the present invention is to provide a flow channel device which hardly generates air bubbles within a flow channel and includes: a base material having a groove; and a coating material which is integrated with the base material so as to cover the groove, in which the difference (θ1−θ2) between a contact angle (θ1) of a portion facing the groove in the coating material with respect to pure water and a contact angle (θ2) of the groove portion of the base material with respect to the pure water is −30° to 30°.

Provided is a surface-treated copper foil excellent in laser processability. The surface-treated copper foil includes a roughened surface formed by subjecting a surface to a roughening treatment, in which when measured using a three-dimensional roughness meter, the roughened surface has a surface skewness Ssk within a range of from −0.300 to less than 0 and an arithmetic mean summit curvature Ssc within a range of from 0.0220 nm.sup.−1 to less than 0.0300 nm.sup.−1.

A supported elastomeric foam (100) includes an elastomeric matrix (102) formed of an elastomer and including a reinforcement region (104) and a foamed region (106). The foamed region includes gas filled cells (108) in the elastomer, and the reinforcement region includes a porous layer (204) having an interconnected network of pores at least partially imbibed with the elastomer. The foam can include an adhesive at a surface of the foam. A compressible seal (802) including a compressible body, which can be elastomeric foam, can also include a pattern of discontinuous adhesive regions about which the compressible body can deform to form a sea. The supported elastomeric foam can form a gas tight seal in an interface when placed under minimal compression.

A heated composite structure and a method for forming a heated composite structure. The structure includes carbon fibers embedded within a thermoplastic matrix. The carbon fibers are connected with first and second electrodes that are configured to be connected with an electric source such that applying current to the electrodes causes current to flow through the embedded carbon fibers to provide resistive heating sufficient to heat the composite structure to impede formation of ice on the composite structure.
