  • Magnetic developer compositions
    Patent number: 4526851
    Abstract: Magnetic developer compositions contain ferrous carbon. The ferrous carbon is a fibrous, particulate carbonaceous material comprising carbon fibers and a ferrous group metal component, where the ferrous group metal component is dispersed throughout the carbon fibers as nodules that are initmately associated with and at least partially bonded to the carbon fibers. The ferrous carbons can be used in monocomponent developers, and also in the toner and carrier used for dual component developers.

  • Apparatus for thermal deposition of metal
    Patent number: 4046100
    Abstract: In a method and an apparatus for depositing metal on a surface of an article, the surface of the article is heated to a state of incipient fusion. During the heating, a light beam is directed at the surface and the light reflectivity of the surface is detected. At the time of incipient fusion, an electrical control signal is created from the light reflections. Metal is deposited on the surface of the article after incipient fusion thereof and control of the deposit of the metal is effected in response to the electrical control signal.
