  • Publication number: 20100003409
    Abstract: A printing ink for inkjet printing for improving the durability and image quality of an inkjet image comprising: a) a liquid carrier; b) ionic dye molecules with surface charge dissolved in the liquid carrier; and c) plate-like nanoparticles having parallel main surfaces, and minor edge surfaces, dispersed in the liquid carrier, with the main surfaces of the nanoparticles having a same sign of surface charge as the ionic dye molecule. Durability and image quality of an inkjet image is improved using the inventive ink, while also enabling a stable, printable formulation that does not require milling of the ink colorant.

  • Patent number: 7366898
    Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for passing configuration information over a network. In one embodiment, the configuration information is passed between a DHCP server and a DHCP client and includes parameters not formally defined within DHCP. The parameters are therefore encoded into a vendor-specific portion of a DHCP message using at least one triplet comprising a code field, a length field, and a value field. The value field comprises a set of one or more name-value pairs. The code field includes an indication of encryption of the value field. In another embodiment, a fixed-function appliance device is attached to a network, and is booted using boot code and a configuration stored locally to the device. The device then downloads a network configuration, which is compared to the locally stored configuration. If the network configuration is different from the locally stored configuration, the network configuration is stored locally to the device.

  • Publication number: 20080042511
    Abstract: A main element which can be used as a rotor or stator for an electrical machine has a short-circuit ring and radially protruding teeth formed integrally onto the short-circuit ring, which teeth are offset from one another about circumferential angles. To make it possible to press a main element of relatively great axial length of SMC material with the required high material density, the SMC body is subdivided into a plurality of separately manufactured modules, placed against one another in axially aligned fashion, two each of which modules are embodied identically and on being placed against one another are rotated 180° in the plane defined by the module axes. Each separately pressed module, to achieve the required density, has a high aspect ratio, and for pressing the plurality of modules, only two press molds are required.
