A procedure is presented for making a continuous tape of at least one metallic material of malleable/ductile metallic materials. The process includes passing a continuous strip of the metallic material between a rigid cylinder and a presser in elastically compressible material, held adherent to the rigid cylinder and at the same time subjecting the continuous tape, in at least a portion of its passage between the rigid roller and the presser and a reduction in the speed of its surface in contact with the presser with respect to the speed of its surface in contact with the rigid cylinder the surfaces of the outgoing tape being always parallel to each other and the final width of the tape corresponding to the initial width.

A sheet processing device includes a conveyor, a rotator, a separator, and control circuitry. The conveyor conveys a two-ply sheet in which two sheets are overlapped and bonded together at a portion of the two-ply sheet. The rotator winds the two-ply sheet. The control circuitry causes the conveyor to convey the two-ply sheet in a winding direction to wind the two-ply sheet around the rotator such that a sagging space is created in the two-ply sheet, and causes the separator to insert into the sagging space to separate the two-ply sheet into two sheets. The control circuitry causes the conveyor to convey the two-ply sheet in a direction opposite the winding direction before an insertion of the separator into the sagging space.

In an embodiment, a process for synchronized embossing of an extensible printed film or of a laminate product including an extensible printed film is disclosed. The process includes pre-heating the film; possible coupling of the pre-heated film with a substrate; passage of the film or of the laminate between an engraved embossing cylinder; and a pressing counter-cylinder, in which the extensible film is subjected to a controlled elongation, in the longitudinal direction only, during the pre-heating step, during which the film is in a thermoplastic state, and said controlled elongation is such as to synchronize the decoration printed on the film with the position of the embossing cylinder.

A method to generate a non-woven fabric includes prearranging at least one thread guide arranged to guide at least one textile thread, prearranging moving means for actuating the thread guide according to at least one degree of freedom, prearranging at least one rigid support and handling each thread guide by the moving means for arranging at least one first portion of each textile thread along at least one first trajectory _1 on each rigid support. Each thread guide is handled by the moving means for arranging at least one second portion of each textile thread along at least one second trajectory _2 on each rigid support. Each second trajectory _2 overlaps with each first trajectory _1 at least at one intersection point P_i, joining each second portion of each textile thread with each first portion of each textile thread at each intersection point P_i.

A method of producing a long polarizer by which a polarizer serving as a final product that can achieve the multi-functionalization and high-functionalization of an electronic device, such as an image display apparatus, and that is free of any variation in quality can be produced at low cost and with high productivity. A method of producing a long polarizer having non-polarization portions according to an embodiment of the present invention includes; laminating, on one surface of a long polarizer, a long surface protective film having through-holes arranged in a lengthwise direction and/or a widthwise direction at predetermined intervals to form a long polarizing film laminate; partially decoloring the polarizer through the through-holes of the surface protective film to form the non-polarization portions; and removing the surface protective film.

A method of making a breathable, elastic film laminate comprising the steps of stretching an elastic film in a first direction, spot welding at least one nonwoven web to the film while it is stretched, and stretching the film laminate in a second direction to create apertures in the film. Articles derived from the method are also described.

A label for use on store shelves in a retail environment. The label include adhesive strips applied to a bottom surface of each label and a top laminate layer with a release coating applied to the top surface of each label.

A method of applying labels to a store shelf in a retail environment. The method includes applying labels with adhesive strips applied to a bottom surface of each label and a top laminate layer with a release coating applied to the top surface of each label. The labels in the pad are sequenced according to a store's planogram.

The described technology generally relates to a method of manufacturing a display device and a manufacturing apparatus for the same. In one aspect, the method includes placing a carrier, in which a display panel is formed, into a film attachment portion such that the carrier is pulled onto a carrier adsorption surface of a first stage. The method also includes attaching a first protection film onto a first surface of the display panel in the film attachment portion, wherein the first surface is located opposite to a second surface of the display panel that faces the carrier. The method also includes first transferring the first stage to a carrier separation portion, separating the display panel from the carrier, and second transferring the display panel to a second stage such that the attached protection film is pulled onto a second film adsorption surface of the second stage.

A method for continuously manufacturing an optical display panel includes feeding a carrier film 12 on which an optical film 13 is placed with a pressure-sensitive adhesive interposed therebetween, peeling off the optical film 13 from the carrier film 12 by using a folding-back part 40a to inwardly fold back the carrier film 12 being fed, taking up the carrier film 12 from which the optical film 13 is peeled off, feeding an optical cell P and bonding the optical film 13, which is peeled off from the carrier film 12, to the optical cell P with the pressure-sensitive adhesive interposed therebetween, and reducing a difference between a first tension on the carrier film 12 located upstream of the folding-back part 40a and a second tension on the carrier film 12 located downstream of the folding-back part while reducing one of the first and second tensions before the bonding step.
