Abstract: The present invention provides a method for forming a black electrode by performing sintering at a temperature in the range of 500-600° C. after applying a lead-free black conductive composition to a substrate. The aforementioned black electrode comprises a binder comprising a crystallized glass component. The aforementioned black conductive composition comprises conductive particles of black RuO2, lead-free black ruthenium-based polyoxide, and mixtures thereof in an amount of 4-30 wt %, based on the total weight of the composition, a lead-free non-conductive black oxide in an amount of 0-30 wt %, based on the total weight of the composition, and a lead-free bismuth-based glass binder in an amount of 10-50 wt %, based on the total weight of the composition.

Abstract: A document trimming apparatus includes a document trimming mechanism and a document positioning mechanism. The document trimming mechanism includes a trimmer clamp for holding a document made up of a stack of sheets while being trimmed and a knife for trimming an edge of the stack of sheets. The document positioning mechanism includes a transport holder for securely holding the stack of sheets during transport and further includes a carrier movably supporting the transport holder for translational and rotational movement relative to the document trimming mechanism. The document positioning mechanism is adapted to position successive edges of the stack of sheets proximate the knife for trimming. The document positioning mechanism includes a first actuator to control rotational movement, a second actuator to control translational movement, and a third actuator to control a side block for initial positioning of the stack on the document positioning mechanism.
