A composite material with high resistance to impact energy, comprising an expanded polymer selected among polystyrene, polypropylene, copolymer of polyphenylene oxide and polystyrene and mixtures thereof, dispersed in a resin chosen among melaminic resin, phenolic resin and polyurethane resin and mixtures thereof.

An electronic price display system has uniquely addressed electronic shelf labels (ESLs) controlled by a central computer or host. To save power and communications channel bandwidth, subglobal addressing is defined which permits the central computer to address more than one but less than all of the labels. In one application of the addressing protocol the central computer causes the subglobally ad...
