The present invention relates to the field of magnetic assemblies and processes for producing optical effect layers (OELs) comprising magnetically oriented non-spherical magnetic or magnetizable pigment particles on a substrate. In particular, the present invention relates to magnetic assemblies processes for producing said OELs as anti-counterfeit means on security documents or security articles or for decorative purposes.

A curing device comprises a first elliptic cylindrical reflector and a second elliptic cylindrical reflector, the first elliptic cylindrical reflector and the second elliptic cylindrical reflector arranged to have a co-located focus, and a light source located at a second focus of the first elliptic cylindrical reflector, wherein light emitted from the light source is reflected to the co-located focus from the first elliptic cylindrical reflector and retro-reflected to the co-located focus from the second elliptic cylindrical reflector.

A multi-curing apparatus includes an actuator, a first chamber including a first energy source head, a second chamber including a second energy source head, a first driver including a first rotation transmission gear gear-engaged with the actuator, and a first driving gear gear-engaged with the first chamber. The apparatus further includes a second driver including a second rotation transmission gear gear-engaged with the actuator, and a second driving gear gear-engaged with the second chamber. The apparatus aligns a position of the first chamber with reference to a position of the second chamber while the first rotation transmission gear, the second rotation transmission gear, and the second driving gear are fixed.

A set including a plug connectable LED and a packaged photocurable composition. It relates also to methods for applying that article. The photocurable composition includes cyanoacrylate monomers and/or acrylate monomers, and a visible light photoinitiator system. The plug connectable LED, when connected to a host mobile device including a rechargeable battery, allows energisation of the LED so that it can be used as a convenient light source to cure the photocurable composition. The set itself does not comprise a battery or, batteries. The set is a versatile consumer product in the field of adhesives, fillers, sealants and coatings.

The present invention provides a method for printing energy-curable ink and coating compositions that have good adhesion to substrates, good print quality, solvent and scratch resistance, and low potential for migration of uncured monomers. The method comprises the steps of printing the ink or coating onto a substrate; partially curing the printed ink or coating by irradiating with UV energy; optionally printing and partially UV curing additional ink layers printed on the first layer; and completing curing via exposure to electron beam radiation, wherein the EB cure dose is greater than or equal to 20 kGy, and the accelerating voltage is greater than or equal to 70 keV.

The present disclosure provides a method for producing a multifunctional implantable structure, the method having: preparing an implantable base; coating a polymer layer on the base, wherein the polymer layer is partially curable; curing the polymer layer such that the polymer layer has cured and non-cured portions; and dry-etching the polymer layer to remove the non-cured portion thereof, to allow the polymer layer to have a nano-turf structure having pores defined therein.
