摘要:
A marking apparatus is disclosed in which a propellant stream is passed through a channel and directed toward a substrate. Marking material, such as ink, toner, etc., is controllably introduced into the propellant stream and imparted with sufficient kinetic energy thereby to be made incident upon a substrate. At sufficient velocity, and with appropriate marking material, the marking material may be kinetically fused to the substrate. A multiplicity of channels for directing the propellant and marking material allow for high throughput, high resolution marking. Multiple marking materials may be introduced into the channel and mixed therein prior to being made incident on the substrate, or mixed or superimposed on the substrate without registration. One example is a single-pass, full-color printer.

Disclosed is a process for preparing copolymers which comprises, in the order stated: (1) adding monomers containing unsaturated carbon-to-carbon bonds, a first polymerization initiator, a second polymerization initiator, and a solvent to a reaction vessel; (2) purging the resulting solution with an inert gas; (3) sealing the reaction vessel and pressurizing it by addition of an inert gas to a pressure of from about 20 to about 600 kilopascals over ambient atmospheric pressure; (4) maintaining the temperature within the pressurized reaction vessel at a temperature of from about 50 to about 100.degree. C. for a period of from about 60 to about 300 minutes; (5) thereafter maintaining the temperature within the pressurized reaction vessel at a temperature of from about 80 to about 115.degree. C. for a period of from about 30 to about 300 minutes, wherein the temperature in step (5) is higher than the temperature in step (4); and (6) subsequently maintaining the temperature within the pressurized reaction vessel at a temperature of from about 115 to about 160.degree. C. for a period of from about 30 to about 180 minutes, wherein the temperature in step (6) is higher than the temperature in step (5). Polymers prepared according to the process of the present invention can be particularly useful in migration imaging members.

摘要:
The present invention is a novel multiple laser diode structure and method for using such structures to optically isolate the light from the different diodes. The novel structure comprises a submount on which the individual lasing elements are mounted and a back facet monitoring plate coupled to the submount. The back facet monitoring plate comprises a plurality of optically sensitive detectors that monitor the amount of laser light emanating from the back facet. Ideally, one detector should be mounted opposite a back facet for each lasing element. The submount is designed with an isolation bar that optically separates the light from individual lasing elements. The radiation thus detected by each detector emanates from the back facet of a single lasing element. The amount of back facet radiation captured by the detector is proportional to the amount of radiation emanating from the front facet of the lasing element. This information enables the system to individually monitor and subsequently control the spot power of the lasing element in a continuous closed loop fashion.

Disclosed is an image bar for use in an imaging apparatus, comprising a linear light valve array with a plurality of discrete, independently addressable pixel portions activatable between light transmitting, partially transmitting, and non-transmitting wavelengths by selective application of an electrical field. The pixel portions comprise, in the order stated, a first transparent substrate; a transparent electrode in contact with the first transparent substrate; a thin film comprising an electrochromic material in contact with the transparent electrode; a transparent electrolytic material in contact with the thin film; a counterelectrode in contact with the transparent electrolytic material; and a second substrate.

Methods of leveling ink on substrates and apparatuses useful in printing are provided. An exemplary embodiment of the methods includes irradiating ink disposed on a first surface of a porous substrate with radiation emitted by at least one flash lamp. The radiation flash heats the ink to at least a viscosity threshold temperature of the ink to allow the ink to flow laterally on the first surface to produce leveling of the ink. The ink is heated sufficiently rapidly that heat transfer from the ink to the substrate is sufficiently small during the leveling that ink at the substrate interface is cooled to a temperature below the viscosity threshold temperature thereby preventing any significant ink permeation into the substrate from the first surface.

A method of leveling ink that is printed on a substrate includes establishing a thermal gradient across a thickness of the substrate, the thermal gradient characterized in that it is less than a viscosity threshold temperature of the ink across most of the substrate.
