  • FREEZE-DRIED MICROBUBBLES, THEIR USE, AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE SAME
    Publication number: 20240009329
    Abstract: The present invention to freeze-dried monodisperse microbubbles. The invention also relates to a process for preparing said microbubbles using microfluidic techniques. The microbubbles according to the present invention show interesting properties, making them particularly useful in applications that require monodispersity of the microbubbles.

  • Controlling float height of moving substrate over curved plate
    Patent number: 6511708
    Abstract: A system, such as a gap drying system, moves a substrate having a substrate tension over a curved plate at a substrate speed such that the substrate floats over at least a region of substantially constant clearance (H0) between the substrate and the curved plate. H0 is controlled without adjusting the substrate speed and without adjusting the substrate tension.
    Type: Grant

  • Drying system and method for an electrophotographic imaging system
    Patent number: 6047151
    Abstract: A drying system and method for an electrophotographic imaging system employing a gap drying system. The electrophotographic imaging system includes a photoconductor belt. A mechanism moves the photoconductor belt in a first direction along a transport path. A scanner mechanism is positioned along the transport path for scanning a laser beam along the photoconductor belt based on image data to form a latent image of the photoconductor belt. A development station is positioned along the transport path. The development station includes a mechanism for applying a toner to a first major surface of the photoconductor belt, the toner including a carrier liquid. A gap drying system is operably located along the transport path, wherein the gap drying system removes excess carrier liquid from the photoconductor belt. The gap drying system includes a carrier liquid (i.e.
