When the ware is fired, or re fired in the case of twice fired ware, the colours fuse into the glaze and so the decoration becomes durable.

Unreferenced date February 2007 In mould decoration , a special type of plastic molding decorative moulding , is used for decorating plastic surfaces with color and or with an abrasion resistant coat. Principle A carrier foil is placed inside the opened mould. It carries the dried paint layers which are to be transferred to the plastic part, with the paint facing the gate. After filling with plastic the paint adheres to the plastic, and is removed from the carrier when opening the mould. For the next cycle the carrier foil is advanced, positioning the next area to be transferred. Mould construction The mould must be constructed so that the back side of the carrier foil rests against a flat wall. The plastic foil can be bent slightly, but the more it is bent, the greater the risk of wrinkles. The filling only takes place on the other side, the side the of carrier with the material to be transferred. The part has to stay on the side of the gate ejectors on gate side . The tips of the ejectors are usually bent slightly to ensure the parts stick to them Carrier foil feeder To place the carrier quickly in the mould, the carrier foil is wound on a coil . The full supply roll is above the mould, and the take up roll beneath. Usually the foil feeder is attached to the moving side of the mould, to enable demoulding when opening the mould. Cleaning of the parts Remnants from the paint flakes must be removed from the parts. This is usually done by rotating brushes.

Image USBChristmasTree.JPG right thumb 250px A USB powered decorative Christmas tree A USB decoration is a decorative device that uses the Universal Serial Bus USB connector for electrical power, and sometimes the protocol, on a computer or other host. In addition, some lightweight devices e.g. a small lamp on a gooseneck stalk use the USB connector itself for mechanical support. History Decorative computer peripheral s have been around for a long time in the days of CPU front panel s, computer hackers would sometimes use them for entertaining or amusing Blinkenlights displays. Today, USB powered decorations are the most prominently seen examples, since the popularity of Universal Serial Bus USB lets them operate on most modern computers. USB Interface mainarticle Universal Serial Bus Many USB decorations do not use the communications features of the USB bus, or fully comply with USB standard power discipline. This can interfere with the purposes for which the USB bus was designed, especially if the device suddenly attempts to draw the full 500 Ampere mA of power nominally available. The default power consumption is only 100mA, which should not impact the computer s Power supply PSU if a device is suddenly connected without identifying itself first. A newly connected device is supposed to then use the USB protocol to communicate a request for more DC power, if needed. Often, several decorations are connected to a single USB hub , which is limited to 400mA if it has no external power connection and is drawing all its power from a host computer . With each device drawing 100mA, it is therefore only possible to run four low power decorations. If instead a USB hub has an external power adapter , it may be able to support much higher power loads. In many cases, the powered hub may not even need to be connected to a computer host, but can serve as a stand alone power source ... modifications of ordinary designs, with most or all of the power used for the main function, not for the decoration ... more details
