Patent number: 11338604Abstract: A print medium can include a cellulose-based paper substrate with a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. The first surface can be treated with an electrically charged treatment layer. An ink-absorbing layer can be positioned on the electrically charged treatment layer. The ink-absorbing layer can include a polymeric binder and surface-activated fumed silica particles. The surface-activated fumed silica particles can include fumed silica particles that are surface-activated with charged multivalent aluminum salt and organosilane reagent. In further detail, an ink-receiving layer can be positioned on the ink-absorbing layer. The ink-receiving layer can include amorphous silica particles, alumina particles, or a combination thereof.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2019Date of Patent: May 24, 2022Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Christine E. Steichen, Xulong Fu, Xiaoqi Zhou, Adam Weisman

Publication number: 20210237428Abstract: The present disclosure is drawn to methods of embossing print media, printing systems, and printers. In one example, a method of embossing a print medium can include printing an enhancing fluid on a coated print medium to form a printed area. The enhancing fluid can include a colorless radiation absorbing agent capable of converting radiation having a wavelength from 200 nm to 400 nm to heat. A colored ink can also be printed on the print medium to form a visible image. The print medium can include a print substrate and an expanding coating layer on the print substrate. The expanding coating layer can include a thermal expansion agent having a minimum expansion temperature. The coated print medium can be irradiated with radiation having a wavelength from 200 nm to 400 nm to selectively heat the printed area and expand the thermal expansion agent in the printed area.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 15, 2018Publication date: August 5, 2021Applicant: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Adam WEISMAN, Beverly CHOU, Or BRANDSTEIN

The coated print medium can include a print substrate and an expanding coating layer on the print substrate. The expanding coating layer can include a thermal expansion agent having a minimum expansion temperature. The method can further include heating the coated print medium using a heater such that the printed area and unprinted area reach a first temperature from 5° C. to 90° C. below the minimum expansion temperature. The coated print medium can be irradiated with radiation having a wavelength from 200 nm to 400 nm to selectively heat the print area and expand the thermal expansion agent in the printed area.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 15, 2018Publication date: May 6, 2021Applicant: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Adam Weisman, Beverly CHOU, Or BRANDSTEIN

Publication number: 20210115269Abstract: The present disclosure is drawn to radiation embossable coated print media. In one example, a radiation embossable coated print medium can include a print substrate, an expanding coating layer on the print substrate, and an ink receiving layer on the expanding coating layer. The expanding coating layer can include a flexible polymer binder and temperature responsive thermoplastic beads in the flexible polymeric binder. The temperature responsive thermoplastic beads can include a propellant encapsulated in a thermoplastic polymer shell.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 15, 2018Publication date: April 22, 2021Applicant: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Beverly Chou, Adam WEISMAN, Or BRANDSTEIN

Patent number: 10137293Abstract: A medical stopcock which allows easier switching operation of plural branch-tubes. The main body of the stopcock comprises a chamber part with a nearly spherical inner surface, and an upstream branch-tube, a downstream branch-tube and a merge-branch-tube all extending from the chamber part. A valve body of the stopcock comprises a nearly spherical valve main body and a rod-shaped operating part with a guide hole linking the inner surface of the chamber part to the outside. In operation, the rod-shaped operating part is moved along the guide hole through the use of the horizontal flow passages and the vertical flow passage to allow the predetermined branch-tubes out of the upstream branch-tube, the downstream branch-tube and the merge-branch-tube to communicate with one another or to shut-off the communication.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2015Date of Patent: November 27, 2018Assignee: Board of Supervisors of Louisiana State University and Agricultural and Mechanical CollegeInventors: Alireza Hamidian Jahromi, David Hilton Ballard, Jeffery Adam Weisman, Horacio Ruben Vincent D'Agostino
