Abstract: Retroreflective articles comprise a substrate and a bar code provided on the substrate. The bar code comprises at least one human-readable information which provides framing information and a machine-readable information which provides variable information. The human-readable information is visible under a first condition and invisible under a second condition, and the machine-readable information is invisible under the first condition and visible under the second condition.

Abstract: Las fibras poliméricas se forman con capas alternadas concéntricas de diferentes materiales poliméricos. Los pares de capas tienen grosores transversales seleccionados para reflejar la luz en una longitud de onda visible seleccionada. Una dimension transversal del nucleo es al menos diez veces el promedio de los grosores seleccionados de las capas alternadas. Algunos artículos formados por las fibras se forman uniendo una fibra con otra; el color de las fibras en el punto de union es diferente de los colores de las fibras en cualquier otro lugar. Las fibras pueden deformarse para cambiar sus propiedades de color estirando la seccion transversal de la fibra polimérica a lo largo del primer eje transversal. En algunas realizaciones, las fibras son sensibles a la polarizacion.

Abstract: A polarizer is formed with an arrangement of polymer fibers substantially parallel within a polymer matrix. The polymer fibers are formed of at least first and second polymer materials. At least one of the polymer matrix and the first and second polymer materials is birefringent, and provides a birefringent interface with the adjacent material. Light is reflected and/or scattered at the birefringent interfaces with sensitivity to the polarization of the light. In some embodiments, the polymer fibers are formed as composite fibers, having a plurality of scattering polymer fibers disposed within a filler to form the composite fiber. In other embodiments, the polymer fiber is a multilayered polymer fiber. The polymer fibers may be arranged within the polymer matrix as part of a fiber weave.

Abstract: Polymer fibers are formed with concentric alternating layers of different polymer materials. The layers pairs have cross-sectional thicknesses selected for reflecting light at a selected visible wavelength. A cross-sectional dimension of the core is at least ten times an average of the selected thicknesses of the alternating layers. Some articles formed by the fibers are formed by attaching one fiber to another: the color of the fibers at the point of attachment is different from the colors of the fibers elsewhere. The fibers may be deformed to change its color properties by elongating the cross-section of the polymer fiber along a first cross-sectional axis. In some embodiments, the fibers are polarization sensitive.

Abstract: A detection article including at least one fluid control film layer having at least one microstructured major surface with a plurality of microchannels therein. The microchannels configured for uninterrupted fluid flow of a fluid sample throughout the article. The film layer including an acquisition zone wherein portions of the plurality of microchannels draw the fluid sample into the plurality of microchannels through openings in the microchannels at least by spontaneous fluid transport. The film layer also including a detection zone in uninterrupted fluid communication with the acquisition zone along the microchannels with the detection zone including at least one detection element that facilitates detection of a characteristic of the fluid sample within at least one microchannel of the detection zone. The detection article may be formed from a plurality of film layers that are stacked to form a three-dimensional article. The detection zone may include a plurality of detection elements, which may be all the same, may be all different or may have some different and some the same. In addition, the detection elements may be variations of the same element. The detection elements may include hardware devices, assay reagents and/or sample purification materials.

Abstract: Microneedle devices and methods of manufacturing the microneedle devices. The microneedle devices include microneedles protruding from a substrate, with the microneedles piercing a cover placed over the substrate surface from which the microneedles protrude. The cover and the microneedle substrate together define a capillary volume in fluid communication with the base of each microneedle. One manner of using microneedle arrays of the present invention is in methods involving the penetration of skin to deliver medicaments or other substances and/or extract blood or tissue. Manufacturing methods may include simultaneous application of pressure and ultrasonic energy when piercing the cover with the microneedles.

Abstract: La presente invencion se refiere a un elemento optico (100) formado por co-extrusion para tener un arreglo de fibras difusoras polimericas (104) dentro de una matriz polimerica (102). Las fibras difusoras se situan sustancialmente paralelas a un primer eje. Las fibras difusoras se arreglan en posiciones a traves de la seccion transversal de la matriz polimerica para difundir la luz transversalmente incidente sobre el elemento optico en una direccion sustancialmente ortogonal al primer eje. Las posiciones de las fibras difusoras a traves de la seccion transversal del elemento optico pueden ser seleccionadas para formar una estructura de cristal fotonico de dos dimensiones para la luz transversalmente incidente en el elemento optico.
