The invention concerns a device for aligning at least along one edge several stacked sheets into a book, while maintaining the serial order of sheets, said device comprising an editing table, having on one of its sides, a front stop for aligning the edges of the sheets. When the bin is stocked from a case bearing a case code, the case code is associated with the shelf code. This transport strip is reduced in its material thickness after at least a portion of the production andor processing process by deformation between the fixed positions of adjacent contact elements on the strip, so that the spacing between the fixed positions of adjacent contact elements is increased. Further, a process of treating a compound for use as a thermal interface orand an EMI shield is disclosed. A third stage above the rotational stage is moveable in a first linear direction, and the fourth stage above the third stage is positionable in a second linear direction orthogonal to the first direction.
