A laser-based technique to determine glass thickness employs a pulsed laser to induce an ultrasonic wave between the surfaces of a region of glass, causing the surfaces to move in and out at a characteristic frequency. The surface motion is monitored to determine the characteristic frequency, which is proportional to the thickness of the glass in the region of the ultrasonic wave. The pulsed laser produces a short duration pulse that illuminates a surface of the glass, which is absorbed within the glass to cause a rapid thermal expansion that generates the ultrasonic wave. The surface motion induced by the ultrasonic wave is preferably detected with a laser interferometer system, the output of which is analyzed to determine the surface motions characteristic frequency.

Ink receptive substrates comprise a base layer formed from a water-insoluble thermoplastic polymer, and an ink receptive layer disposed over the base layer. The ink receptive layer is formed from a melt processable blend of a water-soluble polymer and a substantially water-insoluble polymer, and provides an inherently ink receptive surface without further surface treatment. The ink receptive blend comprises in the range of from 20 to 80 percent by weight water-soluble polymer, and in the range of from 20 to 80 percent by weight substantially water-insoluble polymer based on the total weight of the blend. The blend has a melting temperature in the range of from about 100 to 600Â F. Preferred water-soluble polymers include polyvinyl alcohols and polyalkyl oxazolines. Preferred ink receptive substrates of this invention comprise a base layer and ink receptive layer that are formed simultaneously by coextrusion process. Ink receptive substrates of this invention can include the ink receptive layer on one or both surfaces of the base layer, and/or can be constructed in the form of a pressure-sensitive adhesive label, i. e.

The cover of a binder or album is provided with a coating which is receptive to inks which are water based, solvent based or gel based, and which is substantially water-fast after the ink has dried. A coated transparent or translucent sheet may be provided on the front cover of the binder to form a pocket so that visual material inserted in the pocket may be traced, and so that the cover may be personalized. The coating may include finely divided porous particulates and a binder which includes as a component a water soluble polymer. The coating may be applied to backpacks, zippered binders, and pencil pouches, and to the transparent sheet material overlying photographs mounted in a photo album. Personalized writing or designs may be written or drawn onto the coated products using ink pens of virtually any type.

This invention relates to labels. In one embodiment the labels comprise a polymer facestock layer, a nano-porous layer underlying the facestock, and an adhesive layer underlying the nano-porous layer. In another embodiment, the labels comprise a polymer facestock layer, a nano-porous layer underlying the facestock, and a metal layer overlying the facestock or underlying the facestock between the facestock and the nano-porous layer. These labels can be bonded to substrates of glass, plastic, or metal using a water based adhesive which is in contact with the nano-porous layer.
