Abstract: A card assembly for use with a computer display device. The card assembly includes at least one card and a card holder for holding the card. In addition, the card assembly also includes a mounting unit that is connected to the card holder. This mounting unit rigidly and detachably affixes the card holder to the computer display device.

Abstract: This invention provides a device that enhances a computer user's visual environment by providing a useful and/or aesthetically pleasing frame for the computer display screen. In a preferred embodiment, the screen is removably attached to the bezel of a computer display in a manner that permits substantially the entire display screen to be viewed through an opening in the screen frame.

Abstract: A process for improving the color value of a pigment and for imparting stability to a water-based printing ink containing such pigment which comprises adding a polyester or polyether to the strike tank during the pigment conditioning step; the preferred polyether is methyl hydroxypropyl cellulose and the preferred polyester is benzoic acid-modified trimellitic anhydride polyester.

Abstract: Poly (alkylene oxide) substituted acetoacetanilides of the formula: ##STR1## wherein B comprises a divalent bridging moiety selected from the group consisting of C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkylene, --NHSO.sub.2 --, --O--, --CO--, --COO--, and --NCHO--; X comprises a poly (alkylene oxide) having a number average molecular weight of about 200 to 10,000; R comprises 0 to 4 moieties independently selected from the group consisting of C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkoxy and halogen; and d is an integer of 1 to 3. The poly (alkylene oxide) substituted acetoacetanilides are prepared by reacting a poly (alkylene oxide) monoamine, diamine or triamine with isatoic anhydride followed by acetoacetylation of the resultant aminobenzamide. The substituted acetoacetanilides are useful for preparing improved diarylide pigment compositions which in turn are useful for preparing storage stable printing inks (especially of the publication gravure type).

Abstract: Diarylide pigment compositions useful for preparing storage stable printing inks (especially of the publication gravure type) are prepared using a poly (alkylene oxide) substituted acetoacetanilide together with a typical acetoacetanilide and coupling the mixture of acetoacetanilides with tetrazotized dichlorobenzidine.

Abstract: Monoazo pigments are provided which have improved properties achieved by incorporating certain azomethine compounds. The pigment compositions are prepared by reacting a primary amine-terminated alkylene oxide polymer and an acetoacetanilide to form an azomethine coupler and subsequently preparing the monoazo pigment composition by reacting the desired diazo component and coupling component in the presence of the azomethine coupler so as to form an azomethine composition of matter and the desired pigment.

Abstract: Water-based diarylide pigment compositions containing diarylide pigment modified with water-soluble amines. The pigment compositions are useful in both water-based coating and ink compositions.

Abstract: Disazo pyrazolone pigments are provided which have improved properties achieved by incorporating certain azomethine compounds. The pigment is prepared by reacting a primary amine terminated alkylene oxide polymer and acetoacetanilide or substituted acetoacetanilide to form an azomethine coupler, and subsequently co-reacting the azomethine coupler and a pyrazolone coupler with tetrazotized 3,3'-dichlorobenzidine or tetrazotized o-dianisidine. The pigment is useful in printing ink, plastics and paints.

Abstract: Diarylide pigments modified with alkylene oxide polymers. The modified pigments are useful in both water-based and solvent-based coating and ink compositions.

Abstract: A direct process for the production of a printing ink is carried out in a single vessel and consists essentially of the steps of (1) mixing a pigment slurry with a non-aqueous hydrophobic ink vehicle under agitation and with heating in a mixer equipped with concentrically arranged mixing elements and high-speed impeller blades to transfer the pigment from the aqueous phase to the non-aqueous phase, (2) removing the aqueous phase from the mixer, and (3) adding to the non-aqueous phase in the mixer additional ingredients to produce a press-ready printing ink. The finished ink can then be discharged, for example, through a port in the bottom of the mixer.

Abstract: The flow and handling characteristics of arylide yellow and orange pigment dispersions are improved by incorporating in them a small amount of a rheology modifier that is the product obtained by reacting an arylide yellow or orange pigment with a primary diamine and a glycidyl ether.
