Abstract: A system and method for making nanoparticles. The system includes a first cathode including a first metal tube associated with a first end and a second end, a first anode including a second metal tube associated with a third end and a fourth end, and a first container including a first gas inlet. The first end and the third end are located inside the first container. The first end and the third end are separated by a first gap, the first metal tube is configured to allow a first gas to flow from the second end to the first end, and the first container is configured to allow a second gas to flow from the first gas inlet into the second metal tube through at least a first part of the first gap.

Abstract: A nanoparticle for emitting or absorbing light, and a system and method for making thereof. A nanoparticle for emitting or absorbing light includes a nanoparticle core including a core material and a nanoparticle surface passivated by at least a passivating material.

Abstract: A method for printing comprises the steps of feeding a multi-layer compound sheet into a dual-simplex printer, printing on each side of the multi-layer compound sheet, and separating the layers of the multi-layer compound sheet to produce at; least two sheets having with printed material on one side. The multi-layer sheets comprise a first layer and second layer bonded to the first layer with pressure sensitive adhesive.

Abstract: A fuser roll for fusing toner (12) onto paper (10) in electrophotographic printers and copiers is made of a hollow metal tube (14) provided with a coating (18), of about 60 to 90 wt % polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) and about 10 to 40 wt % polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). Up to about 40 wt % of a filler may be added to the total composition. The fuser roll coated with the PPS-PTFE composition of the invention results in improved fusing of the toner, providing a matt finish of the fused toner on paper, improved uniformity of print quality, longer wear of the fuser roll, and reduced toner smear. The PPS-PTFE roll produces better toner fusing with both rough and smooth papers, and performs better at the same fuser roll temperature of 190.degree. C. than PTFE fuser rolls.
