  • Publication number: 20160342225
    Abstract: One example of a mobile Imaging device includes a single ion source, a ground connector, and an interface. The single ion source is to erase and write to an electronic paper display by depositing charges onto an imaging surface of the electronic paper display as the imaging device and the electronic paper display are moved relative to each other. The electronic paper display includes a ground return path. The ground connector maintains an electrical connection to the ground return path as the imaging device and the electronic paper display are moved relative to each other during erasing or writing to the electronic paper display. The interface is for transferring data between the imaging device and a computing devise.

  • Patent number: 9488927
    Abstract: A printing system (30, 40, 40?, 50, 50?) includes at least one ejector coupled to a reservoir (38) that is configured to contain a printing composition including a hydrocarbon having at least one unsaturated bond. The hydrocarbon is configured to at least one of polymerize or crosslink in the presence of a reactive species. The at least one ejector is configured to eject the printing composition onto a surface (34, 36, 10). The system (30, 40, 40?, 50, 50?) further includes a corona generator (32, 32?, 32?, 32??) configured to generate the reactive species in situ. The corona generator (32, 32?, 32?, 32??) is positioned with respect to the reservoir (38) such that the reactive species is exposed to the printing composition after the printing composition has been ejected onto the surface (34, 36, 10). The polymerizing and/or the cross-linking of the hydrocarbon is configured to form a polymer matrix (12) from the ejected printing composition.

  • Patent number: 9304415
    Abstract: A coating system includes a leveling element and a dispenser assembly. The leveling element extends generally transverse to a substrate advance orientation and is releasably engageable against a substrate support. The dispenser assembly includes an array of side-by-side independent liquid dispensers and an air pressure assembly to supply a common air pressure to each dispenser to cause pressurized dispensing of a coating liquid from each dispenser onto a substrate on the substrate support. The liquid dispensing occurs at least during relative movement between the dispenser assembly and the substrate support and during the relative movement, the leveling element is actuated to uniformize the coating liquid on the substrate.
