  • Patent number: 10392524
    Abstract: Disclosed are compositions, such as inkjet inks, for jetting onto a ceramic substrate, and associated methods and systems. The compositions comprise a pigment compound that is configured to be jetted on a ceramic substrate during a ceramic inkjet process to impart a color effect to the ceramic substrate, and a reduction agent which, when exposed to a firing temperature, reacts with the pigment compound to cause a reduction reaction. In some embodiments, the pigment compound comprises jettable copper particles, which can cause the fired composition to take on a red or oxblood color, which can be used for decoration.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 20, 2017
    Date of Patent: August 27, 2019
    Assignee: ELECTRONICS FOR IMAGING, INC.

  • Publication number: 20170002219
    Abstract: Disclosed are compositions, such as inkjet inks or glazes, for jetting onto a ceramic substrate, and associated methods and systems. The compositions are configured to produce a blister relief effect, wherein the incorporation of inkjet technology provides precise control over the location and degree of blistering. The enhanced compositions are configured to form gas bubbles when exposed to the elevated temperatures of a firing cycle, wherein the formed gas is trapped within the glaze, causing an expansion or blistering of the glaze, which results in a raised relief.

  • Patent number: 5078890
    Abstract: Pollution removal is carried out using particles of felt made of hydrophobic mineral fibers, in which the felts used, which have been preliminarily compressed for storage and transport and after an unbinding operation, undergo pneumatic transport sufficiently forceful to allow them to regain their original density, said pneumatic transport being used simultaneously to spread the particles on the surface of the water to be treated.
