A tag anchor comprises an elastic loop having opposed outer and inner surfaces and an elastic anchor that extends radially from the elastic loop. The anchor includes a shank that extends from one of the outer and inner surfaces and a pair of opposed arms that extend laterally from the shank toward the elastic loop and which are sized to not contact one of the surfaces when deflected toward the shank. The anchor further includes a crown that extends radially from the shank.

Indicia elements are added to telecommunications components to identify the source of the telecommunications component. Indicia elements can include at least one of a logo, a specific color (e.g. a color different from a non-indicative base color of the telecommunications component), text information, a barcode, a QR code, and a RFID tag. The indicia elements can aid in identifying or tracing network connections, identifying types of connectors and/or cables, labeling the network connections, and identifying a network operator in a multi-network environment.

Devices for identification and marking of electrical cables and apparatuses in an industrial cabinet include a plate on which is present a bidimensional code, wherein the code presents a possible number of combinations equal to at least 10.sup.6. A system for the identification and marking of electric cable in industrial cabinets includes a set of devices; an apparatus capable of reading the bidimensional codes; and a processor capable of exchanging data with the reading apparatus, and wherein the electrical scheme of the industrial cabinet is charged. A method for identification and marking of electrical cables and apparatuses in an industrial cabinet making use of the above defined system includes installing a device a cable apparatus reading the bidimensional code using the reading apparatus; associating the bidimensional code to an alpha-numeric code defined in the electrical scheme.

A system of visual and non-visual marks for pipes and couplings which allows users to group the pipes and couplings by type, size, end configurations and composition with a series of symbols, including colors, shapes, swirls, patterns. The symbols are applied to the pipes and couplings by printing, etching, painting, applying stickers, and or molding. The non-visual mark utilize the magnetic and radio reflective nature of the marks to allow remote identification of the plumbing pipes and couplings after being buried.

The invention proposes a decoration device for a system for distributing a fluid product, including a fret, capable of being arranged around a neck of a reservoir, and capable of hiding distribution means, the device also including a decorative strip arranged around an outer face of a peripheral wall of the fret. The decoration device is characterized in that it includes means for axially blocking the strip with respect to the fret, and in that it includes means for rotationally blocking the strip with respect to the fret, the device having no adhesive means between the strip and the outer face of the peripheral wall.

Indicia elements are added to telecommunications components to identify the source of the telecommunications component. Indicia elements can include at least one of a logo, a specific color (e.g. a color different from a non-indicative base color of the telecommunications component), text information, a barcode, a QR code, and a RFID tag. The indicia elements can aid in identifying or tracing network connections, identifying types of connectors and/or cables, labeling the network connections, and identifying a network operator in a multi-network environment.

A self-laminating rotating cable marker label is constructed of a transparent film having a first adhesive area, an adhesive-free smooth area, and a second adhesive area. A print-on area forms one side of the transparent film, the print-on area adapted to receive indicia identifying the cable about which the marker label is applied. A perforation extends across the transparent film providing a line of separation of the transparent film. When wrapped around a cable, the second adhesive area overlies the print-on area such that the cable identifying indicia is visible through the transparent second adhesive area. As the transparent film is wrapped around the cable, the first adhesive area adheres to the cable. The remainder of the transparent film is rotated, breaking the perforation, whereby the smooth area of the film in contact with the cable provides smooth rotation of the label around the cable.

A composition for producing a laser-inscribable identification tag for attachment to an assembly to be identified includes: a polymeric plastic; and a filler. The filler comprises graphene particles, barium particles, and/or barium sulfate particles. In an embodiment, the polymeric plastic includes polypropylene, polyethylene, PVC, TPU, TPE, TPV, PP/PA, polyketone, PA, ABS, PET, and/or PMMA.

A method for applying labels to a cable or conduit with a known circumference, the method including supplying at least one label, wherein the at least one label has a known label height, the label height is greater than the known circumference of the cable or conduit, and the label has a bottom, middle, and top portions, providing at least one tamping device, tamping the middle portion of the at least one label to the cable or conduit with the at least one tamping device, wherein the middle portion of the at least one label adheres to the cable or conduit, providing a guide shoe assembly, pressing the top portion of the at least one label against the cable or conduit with the guide shoe assembly, and pressing the bottom portion of the at least one label against the cable or conduit with the guide shoe assembly, wherein the top portion of the at least one label and the bottom portion of the at least one label overlap after pressed onto the cable or conduit. Further, wherein the step of providing a guide shoe assembly includes providing at least one guide shoe connected to a support mount and providing a rounding member.

A label for being applied, by being wrapped around, to an object to be identified, includes a non-adhesive top side including a printing region for receiving a print on the top side and an adhesive bottom side, by which the label is fastened to the object. The label is in the shape of a strip having a length that is greater than a periphery of the object to be labeled. A transparent wrapping tab is arranged adjacently to the printing region in a longitudinal direction of the label. A length of the wrapping tab is at least equal to the periphery of the object to be labeled. The wrapping tab is wrapped on the printing region and covers the printing region when the label has been applied to the object. An RFID transponder is arranged between the top side and the bottom side in the printing region.
