Patent number: 6830326Abstract: In a four pen ink jet printer comprising cyan, yellow, magenta, and black inks, a clear liquid is applied to printed ink on a print medium via a fifth pen, thereby fixing the colorants, which in turn improves the durability of the printed ink. The clear fixer fluid comprises at least one organic acid and, optionally, a salt of at least one polymeric acid.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2002Date of Patent: December 14, 2004Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Yi-Hua Tsao, Howard A.

Patent number: 6800672Abstract: Biodegradable, flowable or flexible polymer compositions are described comprising a polymer having the recurring monomeric units shown in formula I: wherein: each of R and R′ is independently straight or branched alkylene, either unsubstituted or substituted with one or more non-interfering substituents; L is a divalent cycloaliphatic group; R″ is selected from the group consisting of H, alkyl, alkoxy, aryl, aryloxy, heterocyclic or heterocycloxy; and n is 5 to 1,000, wherein said biodegradable polymer is biocompatible before and upon biodegradation. In one embodiment, one or more of R, R′ or R″ is a biologically active substance. Amorphous compositions containing a biologically active substance, in addition to the polymer, and methods for controllably releasing biologically active substances using the compositions, are also described.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2001Date of Patent: October 5, 2004Assignees: Guilford Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Johns Hopkins University School of MedicineInventors: Wenbin Dang, Irina Kadiyala, Zhong Zhao, James P.

Patent number: 6740469Abstract: Anti-reflective compositions and methods of using these compositions to form circuits are provided. The compositions comprise a polymer dissolved or dispersed in a solvent system. In a preferred embodiment, the polymers of the composition include recurring units having the formula where X is a light-attenuating moiety, M is a metal, and each R is individually selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyls, aryls, alkoxys, and phenoxys. The resulting compositions are spin bowl compatible (i.e., they do not crosslink prior to the bake stages of the microlithographic processes or during storage at room temperature), are wet developable, and have superior optical properties.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2002Date of Patent: May 25, 2004Assignee: Brewer Science Inc.Inventors: Vandana Krishnamurthy, Charles J.
