Abstract: A spray director incorporates structure that generates upstream turbulence for control of spray distribution and spray droplet size. A method of fabricating spray director utilizes a multilayer resist process in conjunction with a multilayer electroforming process.

Abstract: A zero sack volume fluid flow regulator generates upstream turbulence for control of fluid flow, fluid spray distribution and fluid droplet size. The fluid flow regulator includes a seal layer for selectively controlling fluid flow. The seal layer is resiliently movable relative to a base layer to selectively constrict a turbulence inducing intermediate channel within the regulator and selectively control fluid flow. A method of fabricating the fluid flow regulator utilizes a multilayer resist process in conjunction with a multilayer electroforming process.

Abstract: A stapler having an improved anvil to which staples are applied during a driving operation by a driver member for the apparatus. The anvil includes two pivotal ears each of which is formed with a cutting edge which cooperates with a fixed cutting edge arranged to cut the excess portions of staple legs. The length of the portions being cut is in accordance with the number of sheets being stapled, the less the number of sheets, the longer length being cut.

Abstract: A method for color accenting selected portions of a photocopy wherein a photoconductive surface is exposed to a light image of the document being reproduced, the non-selected portions of the resulting latent image are erased prior to developing the image with a given colored toner, and the developed image is transferred to a copy sheet before a subsequent reproduction of the document is performed. During the subsequent reproduction, the non-selected portions of the latent image remain on the photoconductive surface and the selected portions are erased prior to development with a different color than the given colored toner of the non-selected portions of the document and the transfer of the non-selected portions to the same copy sheet that previously received the selected portions.

Abstract: An apparatus in which an original document is housed. The support on which the original document is positioned becomes selectively opaque so as to mask portions of the original document disposed thereon.

Abstract: An apparatus in which an original document is housed. The support on which the original document is positioned becomes selectively opaque so as to mask portions of the original document disposed thereon.

Abstract: This invention relates generally to a method of color reproduction and the apparatus employed therefor. More particularly, the invention concerns a method and apparatus employed in masking an original document so as to create color highlights or a color copy from a black and white or color original.
