  • Patent number: 7070268
    Abstract: The present invention is drawn to odor-releasing ink-jet inks and methods for releasing odors from printed images. The ink-jet ink includes an ink vehicle; an effective amount of an electro-thermal material dispersed within the ink vehicle; and an effective amount of an odor-releasing additive within the ink vehicle wherein an odorant is releasable from the odor-releasing additive upon substantial activation of the electro-thermal material.

  • Patent number: 6922125
    Abstract: Circuit Elements such as capacitors and inductors are formed from electroconductive material printed on a sheet. By printing lines in electroconductive material on both sides of a sheet, a capacitor is generated with the sheet serving as the capacitor's dielectric. If a series of parallel lines is printed at an angle with respect to a sheet and the sheet is subsequently rolled so that one end of each line engages another line to create a coil and the ends of the coil are connected across a current source, an inductor is created. The inductor can be used with another inductor to form a transformer. If two identical inductor sheets are placed one on top of the other and both are rolled to form concentric inductors, the resultant circuit element has both inductance and capacitance properties.

  • Patent number: 6776438
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a magnetic printing media that is used in a laser or inkjet printer. The magnetic printing media is comprised of at least three layers, including a base layer, at least one magnetic layer, and at least one ink receptive layer. Magnetically encoded information is recorded onto the magnetic layer(s), while text and graphics are printed onto the ink receptive layer(s). In a preferred embodiment, the magnetic printing media is used to verify the authenticity of a document. In an alternate embodiment, the magnetic printing media is used to record additional information that is protected from view and from photocopying.

  • Publication number: 20020075492
    Abstract: PostScript® or TrueType® output font can be printed and displayed with varying colors through-out each character or letter so as to appear to be colorized differently. By manipulating the pixels of a polygon of a glyph that comprises a character or letter, different colors, lines or textures can be assigned to each constituent polygon. When the polygons are re-assembled, the resultant glyph can be made to appear to have different color components, textures or other characteristics.
