Carl F. Groner has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 4471039
    Abstract: Photoconductive elements comprising a support, a .beta.-phase indium phthalocyanine charge generation layer and a charge transport layer have excellent photosensitivity in the infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 22, 1982
    Date of Patent: September 11, 1984
    Assignee: Eastman Kodak Company
    Inventors: Paul M. Borsenberger, Michael T. Regan, Carl F. Groner
  • Patent number: 4130359
    Abstract: Electrophoretic migration imaging apparatus and method of the type using electrophotosensitive pigment particles are improved, e.g., as to image density and background, by providing an enlarged migration environment for the imaged electrode. In one embodiment the non-imaged electrode and pigment dispersion thereon are moved predeterminedly, in direction and rate, so as to supplant non-imaged electrode surface and dispersion presented to imaged electrode portions during each successive imaging sequence.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 9, 1977
    Date of Patent: December 19, 1978
    Assignee: Eastman Kodak Company
    Inventor: Carl F. Groner
  • Patent number: 4032226
    Abstract: An electrophoretic migration imaging process, apparatus, and materials useful therein are disclosed. Electrically photosensitive particles, at least some of which bear a positive polarity electrostatic charge, are disposed between two spaced electrodes. One of the electrodes has the surface thereof adjacent to the electrically photosensitive particles bearing a uniform layer containing an amount of a dark charge exchange material sufficient to provide a net change in charge polarity with at least a portion of said positive polarity particles upon electrical contact therewith in the presence of an electric field and in the absence of activating radiation. Imaging is accomplished byA. disposing the electrically photosensitive particles between the spaced electrodes, andB. substantially simultaneously1.
