  • Patent number: 5552253
    Abstract: A two photoconductive stack photoreceptor has an electrically conductive substrate upon which are two photoconductive stacks with each photoconductive stack sensitive to or accessible to a different wavelength of light. After charging of the photoreceptor, areas of the photoreceptor are exposed to no light beams, a first light beam, a second light beam or both light beams which allows different toners to be deposited on the photoreceptor in response to the remaining areas of charges. This two photoconductive stack photoreceptor produces a color xerographic printing system. The photoreceptor can also have multiple photoconductive stacks.

  • Patent number: 5282010
    Abstract: In an electrophotographic printer, an improved system for stripping copy sheets from a photoreceptor imaging belt which may be adversely life affected by mechanical wrapping stresses from wrapping around small radii supports over time, yet with the copy sheets desirably stripping from the photoreceptor belt at a small radius arcuate sheet stripping area of the photoreceptor belt; by mounting the belt only on large diameter supports which do not wrap the belt in any small radii; and temporarily engaging only during copy sheet printing the inside surface of the belt with a small radius stripping member with sufficient force to only temporarily arcuately slightly deform the photoreceptor belt in a correspondingly small radius so as not to introduce substantial long lasting mechanical wrapping stresses in the belt but to define the desired small radius sheet stripping area.

  • Patent number: 4689291
    Abstract: Monolithic microlenses and microlens arrays are manufactured on opto-electronic devices and other substrates by using sharp edge pedestals to confine the lateral flow of a molten lens material. The lens material wets the upper surfaces of the pedestals, but the pedestal edges confine the flow, so the lens material conforms to the shape of the pedestal surface and assumes a semi-arcuate profile due to its surface tension. Spin coating and photolithographic patterning may be employed to form the pedestals and to deposit the lens material thereon. The lens material is melted after being deposited, so the pedestals advantageously are stabilized to prevent them from deforming at the temperature of the molten lens material.
