Patent number: 4585362Abstract: In an electronic correcting typewriter, a character correction and replacement system is disclosed for facilitating the task of correcting typed character errors. The typewriter includes a printing and a correcting mechanism operated under electronic control and a correction buffer is associated with the electronic control for storing the last plurality of printed characters. To automatically erase any previously printed character which character has its code stored in the correction buffer and print a new replacement character, the typist locates the carrier opposite the unwanted character and actuates the character key of the desired replacement character. Under control of the electronics, the unwanted character code is recalled from the correction buffer, the correcting mechanism is operated to erase that character and the printing mechanism is operated to print the new character. Operator setting of an overstrike flag provides character overprint capability.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 1984Date of Patent: April 29, 1986Assignee: SCM CorporationInventor: R. William Gray

Patent number: 4585813Abstract: Non-gelled compositions containing hydroxy ester copolymer having carboxyl groups and substantially free of oxirane groups and the method of making them are disclosed which are the esterification reaction product of(A) acidic addition copolymer; and(B) epoxy resin including aromatic polyether containing oxirane groups in which the epoxy resin comprises at least 50% of the total resin solids and contains insufficient oxirane groups to react with all of the carboxyl groups in the copolymer; in which esterification is conducted after treatment of the addition copolymer with amine in an amount sufficient to neutralize at least 5% of the carboxyl group in the copolymer. The resulting composition is neutralized with amine, is self-emulsifiable in water and is useful for coatings, e.g., for cans.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 1983Date of Patent: April 29, 1986Assignee: SCM CorporationInventors: George L.

Patent number: 4579889Abstract: Mechanical stability and coating characteristics of structurally cation-active, film-forming latex, especially useful in electrodeposition coatings can be improved by the addition of small stabilizing amounts of linear cationic amine-modified epoxy resin having tertiary amine functionality and base number in the range of 30-500. Such stabilized latex remain substantially non-agglomerated even after being subjected to pumping and shear. The improved latex and process circumvent the purification steps, i.e. ion exchange and also ultrafiltration, often required treatments to render latex compositions suitable for electrodeposition coatings. The thickness of the film electrodeposited on the metal can be controlled by proper selection of the stabilizer amount and/or system voltage.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 1985Date of Patent: April 1, 1986Assignee: SCM CorporationInventors: Sharon L.

Patent number: 4561793Abstract: In an electronic typewriter, an automatic word correcting system includes a keyboard word erase function key for selectively causing automatic erasure of a word or a series of words. Operation of the word correcting system is based on electronic sensing of "space" or non-print functions and successive recall of consecutively printed characters stored in a print line memory of a control circuit in the typewriter. To erase a previously typed word after other words have been typed, the operator aligns (backspaces) a carrier print point at any print line position occupied by the word. Then a single one touch (depress/release) actuation of the Word Erase Key operates an electronic word erase control that causes the carrier to automatically move to the right to find and then stop the carrier when the subsequent "space" function is electronically sensed in memory.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 1984Date of Patent: December 31, 1985Assignee: SCM CorporationInventor: Raymond A. Blanchard, Jr.

Patent number: 4546184Abstract: The invention relates to a novel fluorinated pre-polymer and novel process steps in producing the same. The pre-polymers are quinoxaline materials derived by reaction of diketone linkage containing perfluoro-compounds with an aromatic diamine. The diketone is produced by oxidatively dechlorinating a polychloroketone which may be a monoketone or a bis-ketone. The polychloroketone is produced by reacting a keto-ylid with a chlorinating agent, e.g., chlorine. The keto-ylid is produced by reacting a phosphorane with an acid halide of a polyoxy-perfluoroalkylene oxide wherein the perfluoro-oxyalkylene group contains two or three carbon atoms, and there are present from two to twenty perfluoro-oxyalkylene units in the oligomer. The quinoxalines, the polychloroketones and the diketones hereof are novel products. Cross-linking may be effected with a free radical generator.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 1983Date of Patent: October 8, 1985Assignee: SCM CorporationInventor: Keith B. Baucom
