  • Patent number: 9820387
    Abstract: A process for printing a metal wire pattern on a substrate, including: printing a first salt solution including a metal ion that will undergo a reduction half-reaction; printing a second salt solution containing an oxidizing agent that will undergo an oxidation half-reaction in contact with the first salt solution, resulting in the reduction of the metal ions of the first salt solution; and allowing the first and second salt solutions to react by a galvanic reaction, causing reduced metal ions of the first salt solution to precipitate as a solid, on the substrate.

  • Patent number: 9584551
    Abstract: A system that releases a Session Initiation Protocol (“SIP”) user from a serving function on an Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem (“IMS”) network receives a REGISTER refresh from a registered user equipment (“UE”). In response to the REGISTER refresh, the system sends a server assignment request to a home subscriber server (“HSS”) that clears the name of the Serving Call Session Control Function (“S-CSCF”) assigned for the registered user. The system then sends a gateway timeout or server timeout that would trigger the UE to send an initial REGISTER request.

  • Patent number: 9413670
    Abstract: An Interrogating Call Session Control Function (“I-CSCF”) server load balances Session Initiation Protocol (“SIP”) users over an Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem (“IMS”) network. The I-CSCF server establishes a Diameter connection between a first Serving Call Session Control Function (“S-CSCF”) server and receives a dynamically adjusted capacity and a status information from the first S-CSCF server. The I-CSCF server further receives from user equipment a request to initiate a SIP communication session over the IMS network.

  • Patent number: 9286564
    Abstract: Apparatuses and methods are provided for providing a printed radio frequency identification (RFID) tag assembly. In one exemplary embodiment, the RFID tag assembly includes a substrate including a top surface, and a receiving layer, comprising a plurality of receiving pads having conductive properties, located on the top surface of the substrate. The RFID tag assembly may further include a chip located on the top surface of the substrate. In addition, the RFID tag assembly may include an antenna printed on the receiving layer and bonded to the receiving layer using at least one of a wedge bonding technique and a ball bonding technique. The antenna may include at least one of copper, aluminum, palladium-covered copper, and aluminum-covered copper wire or ribbon.

  • Publication number: 20150145920
    Abstract: An indirect printing process for printing a gel ink. The process comprises providing a gel ink composition in an inkjet printing apparatus. Droplets of gel ink are ejected in an imagewise pattern onto an intermediate transfer member wherein each ink droplet forms a substantially circular image on the transfer member. The ink droplets are gelled and dried or solidified to form a substantially dry ink pattern on the intermediate transfer member. The substantially dry ink pattern is transferred from the intermediate transfer member to a final substrate.

  • Patent number: 8815394
    Abstract: Encapsulated nanoscale particles of organic pigments include a polymer-based encapsulating material, and one or more nanoscale organic pigment particles encapsulated by the polymer-based encapsulating material. Such encapsulated nanoscale particles of organic pigments can be made by providing nanosized organic pigment particles comprised of surface-associated sterically bulky stabilizer compounds; providing a copolymer material comprising organic pigment-affinic functional groups and non pigment affinic monomer units; associating the nanoscale organic pigment particles with the copolymer material so as to effect a deposited layer or shell of the copolymer material around said nanoscale organic pigment particles, thereby producing an encapsulated nanoscale organic pigment particle; and optionally further reinforcing the encapsulated nanosized organic pigment particle with one or more surface treatments.
