1. A method for the production of a multimatrix (32) of rubber which can be used for the simultaneous manufacture of a plurality of identical decorative elements of resin, in particular ornaments (10), comprising the stages of:
preparing a metal matrix (12) which reproduces in positive form the shape of at least one ornament (10),
providing the metal matrix (12) with lateral walls (14) in such a manner as to form a first hollow vessel, the bottom of which is constituted by the metal matrix (12),
pouring into the first vessel a rubber (16) in the fluid state and leaving it to harden to give a hardened rubber matrix (18) which reproduces in negative form the shape of the at least one ornament (10), this operation being repeated until a plurality of matrices (18) of hardened rubber is obtained,
putting together the matrices (18) of hardened rubber in a side-by-side arrangement to give a composite rubber structure (20) having several identical figures,
providing the composite structure (20) with lateral walls (22) in such a manner as to form a second hollow vessel, the bottom of which is constituted by the composite structure (20),
pouring a resin (24) into the second vessel and leaving it to harden to give an intermediate multimatrix (26) which reproduces in positive form the shape of a plurality of ornaments (10),
providing the intermediate multimatrix (26) with lateral walls (28) in such a manner as to form a third hollow vessel, the bottom of which is constituted by the intermediate multimatrix (26), and
pouring into the third vessel a rubber (30) in the fluid state and leaving it to harden to give a rubber multimatrix (32) having several identical figures (34), each of which reproduces in negative form the shape of a single ornament (10).
2. A method according to claim 1, wherein the metal matrix (12) reproduces in positive form the shape of a single ornament (10).
3. A method according to claim 1, wherein said intermediate multimatrix (26) is hardened at a temperature of from 45 to 50\xb0 C. for a period of time of from 10 to 12 hours.
4. A method according to claim 1, wherein said rubber (16, 30) has anti-adhesive properties and is free from additives, such as oils or plasticisers, capable of migrating.
5. A method for the simultaneous manufacture of a plurality of identical decorative articles of resin, in particular ornaments (10), comprising the stages of:
preparing a multimatrix (32) of hardened rubber having several identical figures (34), each of which reproduces in negative form the shape of a single ornament (10),
pouring a resin (36) into each figure (34) and leaving it to harden, and
demoulding the hardened resin (36) from each figure to give a plurality of identical ornaments (10).
6. A method according to claim 5, which provides for covering the surface of the figures (34), before pouring the resin (36), with a coating capable of adhering to the decorative resin (36), in order to obtain a covering of the outer surface of the ornaments (10).
7. A method according to either claim 5, which provides that, when the resin (36) has hardened, a bi-adhesive sheet is applied to the back of the ornaments (10).
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
1. A implemented method for analyzing the current status of at least two of a plurality of data elements from local or remote data-sources and converting each said status to one of a common set of symbols that convey the urgency with which said user should examine said data element, consisting of:
(a) the initial establishment by said user of a plurality of at least two mutually exclusive ranges for each said data element to be analyzed,
(b) the examination of at least two said data elements in different formats on said systems by an interactive digital device of said user on a schedule determined by said user,
(c) the characterization of said status of each said data element as falling within one of said previously established ranges,
(d) the conversion of said characterization of each said status into one of a common set of text, graphic, audio or video symbols designed to indicate the urgency with which said user should examine said data element,
(e) the presentation of said symbols on the screen of said interactive digital device,
whereby said user is able to regularly monitor said status of at least two of said plurality of data elements in different formats from different said systems on said screen of said interactive digital device.
2. The method of claim 1 wherein said data element is part of said local or remote data source in text, data, audio, video, or other digital format.
3. The method of claim 1 wherein said data source is a web page, digital data file, online text file, database, audio or video data stream, biometric reading, or the output of a digital measurement device.
4. The method of claim 1 wherein said analysis and characterization of each said data element is performed by one of a plurality of interchangeable software modules designed for said data element.
5. The method of claim 1 wherein said interactive digital device is selected from one of a desktop or notebook computer, a tablet, mobile device, wearable digital device, entertainment system, onboard information system for cars, boats and planes, or other digital information system.
