Abstract: A method of on-press development of a lithographic printing plate having an imaged photosensitive (PS) coating by (a) applying an emulsive film of press ink and fountain onto the entire PS coating; (b) transferring all nonimage areas of the inked PS coating and all of the ink film on the nonimage areas of the PS coating from the plate to a blanket roll while the image areas of the PS coating remain on the substrate, wherein the nonimage areas are transferred to the blanket roll in particulate form without dissolution or dispersion in any ink or fountain; and (c) contacting the blanket roll with a paper leader to further transfer all the ink, fountain water, and particles of nonimage PS coating that were transferred to the blanket roll, from the blanket roll to the paper leader.

Abstract: A solvent-soluble, radiation-polymerizable, oleophilic resin coating non-ionically adhered on a hydrophilic substrate can be imagewise exposed to polymerizing radiation and then directly processed by the application of disruptive mechanical forces such as compression or tension to remove the unimaged areas as undissolved particles, using pressurized water and brushing pre-press, or the tack of the ink on-press.

Abstract: On-press development of an imaged printing plate on a plate cylinder, in which ink is applied by an ink form roll, a blanket roll is in contact with the plate, a rubber roll is opposed to the blanket roll, and printable media passes between the blanket roll and the rubber roll. The plate comprises a substrate carrying an imaged coating, in which nonimage areas have cohesion C1, adhesion to the substrate A1, and adhesion to the applied ink A3 and image areas have cohesion C2, adhesion to the substrate A2, and adhesion to the applied ink A4. The ink has cohesion C3 and adhesion A5 to the blanket roll. The nonimage areas have adhesion A6 to the printable medium and the ink has adhesion A7 to the medium. The adhesions and cohesions are such that the blanket roll pulls the ink from the plate and the ink pulls the nonimage areas from the substrate as undissolved particles that are transferred by the blanket with the ink to the printable media.

Abstract: Excellent development of planographic printing plates can be achieved by exposing an imaged, negative working, photopolymerizable coating to a high pressure stream of essentially untreated tap water, whereby the water completely removes only the less cohesive and adhesive (e.g., partially polymerized) regions to the substrate, thereby directly producing a printing plate having an image pattern of highly cohesive and adhesive, oleophilic regions of the coating and hydrophilic regions of the substrate. The coating removal mechanism appears to be due entirely to ablation. The high pressure stream is preferably delivered to the plate through at least one nozzle having a discharge pressure greater than about 200 psi. Each nozzle preferably has a spray pattern that impinges the plate over a substantially rectangular region of the plate, and the nozzle and plate translate relative to each other. The nozzle can reciprocate across the width of a longitudinally transported plate, thereby contacting successive regions of the plate in a rastering fashion.

Abstract: Two waste products, nitrate-rich sewage wastewater and power plant CO2 emissions, are combined and converted into a renewable, biomass energy source, which supplies the fuel to the power plant. The power plant, wastewater treatment facility, and biomass growth unit are preferably located on one site and arranged for convenient transfer of the CO2 and wastewater to the biomass growth unit; harvesting, processing and return of biomass from the growth unit as fuel to the power plant; and discharge of the de-nitrated wastewater into the same body of water used as the heat sink by the power plant, e.g., a lake, river, or sound. The present invention thus provides an integrated approach to minimization of CO2 emissions and nitrate discharge while achieving improved efficiency in the generation and harvesting of the biomass.

Abstract: The invention relates to the application of a uniform film of a fluid to the surface of a flat workpiece as it is being conveyed through a workstation. The invention is specifically directed to the development of lithographic printing plates and comprises the application of the thin film of developer solution to each plate in a controlled manner using a wire-wound coating device and a unique manner of metering and feeding fresh fluid to the wire-wound device. Specifically, the fluid is gently fed onto the wire-wound device by simple volumetric displacement and overflow from the inside of a hollow tube onto the wire and the flow is controlled by sensing the beginning and end of each workpiece or plate. The hollow tube may be the wire-wound component or it may be a tube mounted above the wire-wound component.

Abstract: The invention relates to the development of lithographic printing plates and comprises the application of a thin film of developer solution to each plate in a controlled manner using a jetting printhead which scans the plate to apply the developer solution as the plate is conveyed under the jetting printhead. Sensors and control means activate and deactivate the scanning jetting printhead in response to the presence or absence of a plate. The developer is allowed to dwell on the plate as it is conveyed across a support structure for a sufficient time to allow for percolation into and/or dissolution of the soluble areas of the coating and is then washed off and sent to waste.

Abstract: A coated imageable semiconductor is imaged by heating an area of the coating with an infrared laser and reacting the coating in the heated area with ultraviolet or visible radiation. The coating can be either positive working or negative working. The modulated radiation may either be the ultraviolet/visible radiation or the infrared radiation and the radiation spots are superimposed or the ultraviolet/visible spot may closely trail the infrared spot. The imaging time is reduced since the reaction rate is increased at the elevated temperature.

Abstract: A catalyst structure is formed by forging catalyst support particles from a slurry into the surface of a metal substrate such that the particles protrude from the surface and are permanently fixed into the surface. The forging is accomplished by engaging rollers with the surface as it passes through the slurry to press the particles into the surface. The rollers may be brush rollers, fabric rollers or solid rollers. The particles may be any particles which are capable of having a catalyst deposited thereon and which are hard enough to forge into the metal substrate. The catalyst material is then deposited onto the catalyst support particles.
