Abstract: A fixation roller for a liquid electrophotographic printer rotates in contact with a transfer roller transferring an image developed on a photoreceptor web to a sheet of paper. The fixation roller includes a body made of metal, an elastic rubber layer formed on the outer circumferential surface of the body, and silicon oil included in the rubber layer to come out to the surface of the rubber layer at a high temperature during printing, thus encompassing the surface of the rubber layer.

Abstract: Apparatus for providing high reception capacity to hand-held or mobile stations using moving satellites in low orbit. The system makes use of one or more geostationary satellites which provide broad band transmission to the users of hand-held or mobile stations. Only the data addressed to hand-held or mobile stations uses the path via the geostationary satellite(s), information coming from the hand-held or mobile stations passing via moving satellites in low orbit. The system enables mobile or hand-held stations to make use of multimedia applications.
