  • Patent number: 5725986
    Abstract: An imaging process including providing an electrophotographic imaging member including a substrate, a charge generating layer and a charge transport layer including a small molecule hole transporting diarylamine, a small molecule hole transporting tritolyl amine and a film forming binder, depositing a uniform electrostatic charge on the imaging member with a corona generating device to which power is being supplied, the corona generating device comprising at least one bare metal wire adjacent to and spaced from the imaging member, exposing the imaging member with activating radiation in image configuration to form an electrostatic latent image, developing the latent image with marking particles to form a toner image, transfering the toner image to a receiving member, repeating the depositing, exposing, developing, transfering steps, resting the imaging member for at least 15 minutes under the corona generating device while the power to the corona generating device is removed and while the corona generating de

  • Patent number: 4609605
    Abstract: An electrophotographic imaging member is disclosed consisting essentially of a supporting substrate, a charge transport layer substantially free of arsenic and tellurium and consisting essentially of selenium and a halogen selected from the group consisting of from about 4 parts per million by weight to about 13 parts per million by weight of chlorine and from about 8 parts per million by weight to about 25 parts per million by weight of iodine and a photoconductive charge generator layer comprising selenium, from about 5 percent to about 20 percent by weight tellurium, from about 0.1 percent to about 4 percent by weight arsenic, and a halogen selected from the group consisting of up to about 70 parts per million by weight of chlorine and up to about 140 parts per million by weight of iodine, one surface of the charge generator layer being in operative electrical contact with the charge transport layer and the other surface of the charge generator layer being exposed to the ambient atmosphere.

  • Patent number: 4037298
    Abstract: A method of producing a hard roll capacitor includes winding on a core a capacitor roll using heat shrinkable synthetic resin strips some of which are metallized while maintaining tension on the strips above about 200 grams per inch of strip width per mil thickness. The roll is then subjected to temperature sufficient to shrink the strips on the roll after which the roll is placed in a casing and its ends are covered with a dielectric liquid. The process results in a capacitor with only a narrow margin section of the roll at the edges being wetted by the dielectric liquid.
