  • Patent number: 5342724
    Abstract: Polymeric electrophotographic toner and developer compositions are produced by methods including conventional as well as limited coalescence manufacturing techniques. The compositions are prepared by heating a diacid and a diol under conditions effective to form a chain transfer polyester, wherein either the diacid or the diol contain a disulfide moiety. The polyester is reacted with one or more vinyl monomers to form a block copolymer having polyester blocks linked to polyvinyl blocks by sulfide groups previously constituting the disulfide moiety. The block copolymer is reduced to a particulate form to a size suitable for use as an electrophotographic toner by conventional methods, evaporation limited coalescence, and suspension limited coalescence.

  • Patent number: 5209430
    Abstract: A system for improving yaw control at low speeds consists of one strake placed on the upper portion of the fuselage facing the retreating rotor blade and another strake placed on the lower portion of the fuselage facing the advancing rotor blade. These strakes spoil the airflow on the helicopter tail boom during hover, low speed flight and right or left sidewards flight so that less side thrust is required from the tail rotor.
