Abstract: The present invention pertains to an aqueous inkjet ink comprising anionic self-dispersing pigment with a certain mixture of tetraorganoammonium and alkali metal cations. The inks exhibit greatly extended latency.

Abstract: This invention relates to the preparation of particle dispersions in a media mill using plastic, substantially cubic media to effect particle size reduction and/or dispersion of the particles.

Abstract: The present invention pertains to a radiation-curable inkjet ink and, more particularly, to a radiation-curable inkjet ink comprising a specified polymerizable vehicle that is curable on exposure to radiation such as ultraviolet light.

Abstract: This invention pertains to a method of inkjet printing, in particular to a method of inkjet printing designed for high speed, high quality and high resolution. This invention also pertains to an apparatus to perform the inventive method.

Abstract: The present invention pertains to a radiation-curable white inkjet ink and, more particularly, to a radiation-curable inkjet white ink comprising a specified titanium dioxide with at least two dispersants. The first is an acidic polyester dispersant and the second is an acrylic structured copolymer dispersant. Ink sets containing the white inks are also described.

Abstract: The present invention pertains to an aqueous inkjet ink made from certain aqueous titanium dioxide slurries, and an associated inkjet ink set for inkjet printing. The invention also pertains to a method of inkjet printing with the ink and ink set. The use of the specific titanium dioxide slurries described herein result in inkjet inks having improved stability and better anti-settling performance with less pigment agglomeration and flocculation over time.

Abstract: A holographic optical element (HOE) that includes a deep image hologram and a method for using this HOE as a security device are described. The deep image hologram is viewable with a collimated or at least partially collimated light source having a center wavelength in the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum and a spectral bandwidth, wherein the spectral bandwidth of the collimated or at least partially collimated light source at least partially overlaps the spectral bandwidth of the deep image hologram. The deep image hologram is not viewable (i.e., appears essentially unrecognizable to the human eye) with a diffuse lighting source, such as ordinary room lighting.

Abstract: This invention relates to a process comprising using ionic liquids for preparing poly(tetramethylene) glycol from tetrahydrofuran.

Abstract: Novel compounds of structural formula (I) are disclosed. As modulators of the Cannabinoid-1 (CB1) receptor, these compounds are useful in the treatment, prevention and suppression of diseases mediated by the CB1 receptor. As such, compounds of the present invention are useful as in the treatment, prevention and suppression of psychosis, memory deficits, cognitive disorders, migraine, neuropathy, neuro-inflammatory disorders (e.g., multiple sclerosis, Guillain-Barre syndrome and the inflammatory sequelae of viral encephalitis), cerebral vascular accidents, head trauma, anxiety disorders, stress, epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, and schizophrenia. The compounds are also useful for the treatment of substance abuse disorders, particularly to opiates, alcohol, and nicotine.
