Abstract:
A method and ink composition for development of an electrostatic latent image with liquid developer is disclosed. The liquid developer has a viscosity suitable for convenient application to an imaged surface in the development of latent electrostatic images and has improved conductivity resulting from incorporating conductivity control agents in the form of quaternary ammonium compounds which are soluble in the carrier of the ink composition. The conductive ink composition comprises a coloring agent, optionally a binder and a dispersing agent, a carrier and a quaternary ammonium compound soluble in the liquid carrier.
Abstract:
A transparency is disclosed, which is suitable for use in a multicolored xerographic reproduction process comprising a transparent, thermoplastic film sheet having at least one surface coated with a material selected from the group of nonvolatile amine compounds. The coated transparency, when used in a multicolored electrostatic copying process improves adhesion of the multicolored image thereon and permits reproduction of colors and color densities in said image which correspond well to the copied multicolored original.
Abstract:
An electrostatographic developer mixture comprising finely divided toner particles electrostatically clinging to the surface of larger carrier beads, each of the carrier beads comprising a core particle surrounded by a thin outer layer of a poly(p-xylylene) polymer. Imaging processes of developing electrostatic latent images with the developer mixture are also disclosed.
Abstract:
A transparency is disclosed, which is suitable for use in a multicolored xerographic reproduction process comprising a transparent, thermoplastic film sheet having at least one surface coated with a material selected from the group of long chain aliphatic hydrocarbons. The coated transparency, when used in a multicolored electrostatic copying process improves adhesion of the multicolored image thereon and permits reproduction of colors and color densities in said image which correspond well to the multicolored original copied.

Abstract:
A transparency is disclosed, which is suitable for use in a multicolored xerographic reproduction process comprising a transparent, thermoplastic film sheet having at least one surface coated with a long chain aliphatic ester. The ester coated transparency, when used in a multicolored electrostatic copying process improves adhesion of the multicolored image thereon and permits reproduction of colors and color densities in said image which correspond to the multicolored original.
Abstract:
A transparency is disclosed, which is suitable for use in a multicolored xerographic reproduction process comprising a transparent, thermoplastic film sheet having at least one surface treated with organic amine compounds or salts thereof. The treated transparency, when used in a multicolored electrostatic copying process improves adhesion of the multicolored image thereon and permits reproduction of colors and color densities in said image which correspond well enough to the multicolored original copied.
Abstract:
A storable self-aligning towing assembly which allows universal pivoting about three axes between a towing vehicle and a towed vehicle. The towing assembly is self-supporting. A hitching member is releasably attached to a towing vehicle at a first end of the hitching member; a first yoke member is pivotally attached to a second end of the hitching member such that the first yoke member pivots about a first axis which is generally horizontal and is normal an extended longitudinal axis of the hitching member; a second yoke member is connected to the first yoke member such that the second yoke member is free to rotate with respect to the first yoke member about an axis that is generally parallel to an extended longitudinal axis of the hitching member; a towed vehicle attachment means is releasably attached at a first end to a towed vehicle; the towed vehicle attachment means is pivotally attached to the second yoke member such that the second yoke member pivots with respect to the towed vehicle attachment means about a second axis which is generally vertical and is normal to the extended longitudinal axis of the hitching member. The configuration allows the towing assembly to pivot from a towing position to a storage position on the rear of the towing vehicle. A latching mechanism secures the self-aligning towing assembly in the storage position on the rear of the towing vehicle. The self-aligning towing assembly may be further converted into a shipping position.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for monitoring towed vehicles, such as trailers and the like, which are not visible in a rear view mirror of a tow vehicle. The method consists of, firstly, attaching markers to a towed vehicle such that the markers are visible on each side of a towing vehicle to which the towed vehicle is coupled. Secondly, projections are attached to each side of the towing vehicle. The projections are positioned on each side of the towing vehicle so that the projections are in respective linear alignment with the markers when viewed from respective side mounted rear view mirrors of the towing vehicle. When the markers cease to be in linear alignment with the projections during driving, the driver of the towing vehicle is alerted that there has been an alteration in the positioning of the towed vehicle relative to the towing vehicle, thereby indicating a problem requiring a stoppage of the vehicles.
Abstract:
Various objects may be maintained in their original condition or protected from further damage by physical, chemical, and biological forces by applying thereto thin, continuous, impervious coatings of vapor-deposited poly(p-xylylene) polymer or derivatives thereof. By the invention, it is possible to protect paintings, photographs, documents, articles of sculpture, silver objects, coins, fishing hooks and lures, marine fittings and hardware, batteries, fuel cells, automotive parts, water pollution control devices, logic circuits, electrical components, electric motors and parts, light bulbs, ammunitions, fireworks, glass items, decorative items, timepieces, and decorative wrought iron grillwork.
