Abstract:
A method of forming electrical devices can include electrophotographically printing a particulate material on a device substrate (25). The particulate material is chosen in composition and printed to form at least a portion of the electrical device. An optional intermediate transfer member (22) can also be used to improve reliability and performance of the process. Dry or liquid electrophotographic methods can be effectively used to form electronic devices on a wide variety of substrates not conventionally available in device fabrication.

A method of plating a substrate including coating a substrate surface, laser-treating a region of the coated surface, and plating the region.
Abstract:
A method for selectively marking a surface of an optical disk (100) includes providing an optical disk (100), wherein the optical disk (100) includes a metal (230, 440), an electrolyte (220, 430) disposed on the metal (230, 440), and a photoconductor (210, 420) disposed on the electrolyte (220, 430), applying a voltage to the optical disk (100), the voltage being associated with a desired anodization color, and selectively applying a laser (540) to the photoconductor (210, 420) to initiate anodization of the metal (230, 440).
Abstract:
Printhead fabrication methods and printheads are described. According to one aspect, a printhead fabrication method includes providing a spacer layer (36) over a plurality of bottom electrodes (10) of a printhead, providing a plurality of top electrodes (26) of the printhead over the spacer layer (36) and the bottom electrodes (10), aligning a plurality of printhead features (38) of the spacer layer (36) with a plurality of printhead features (28, 16) of the top electrodes (26) and the bottom electrodes (10), and bonding the spacer layer (36) with the top electrodes (26) and the bottom electrodes (10) with the printhead features (38) of the spacer layer (36) aligned with the printhead features (28, 16) of the top electrodes (26) and the bottom electrodes (10).
