Title: Inking arrangement for printing machines
Inventor: OKAMURA YUICHI
IPC: B41F31/00
Filed: 1990-02-07
Abstract: An inking arrangement for printing machines in which ink is supplied to the plate surface by means of ink form rollers (5). The inking arrangement comprises a roller train constituted of a plurality of rollers (2,3,4,5) each having its surface layer made of a single non-metallic material (S) or a mixed material containing a non-metallic material as a base material (T), the rollers (2,3,4,5) being successively arranged in contact with or in close proximity to each other. Thus, it is possible to obtain an excellent ink transfer condition and hence possible to prevent occurrence of the roller stripping phenomenon, which is likely to occur in an offset printing process, for example.

Title: Structured surface light extraction overlay and illumination system
Inventor: APPELDORN ROGER H
IPC: F21S2/00
Filed: 1996-07-02
Abstract: A light extraction overlay for extracting light from a desired location on a light guide includes a substantially optically transparent substrate which has a base surface and a structured surface opposite the base surface. The structured surface includes optical elements which have optically smooth surfaces disposed at an angle relative to the base surface. Preferably, the optical elements are coated with a specularly reflective material. The optical elements may be separated by substantially planar portions of the structured surface. In use, the base surface is optically coupled with a portion of a surface of a light guide such that light may be transmitted from the optical fiber into the substrate. Light rays which strike a planar portion of the structured surface are reflected back into the fiber at an angle which is greater than the critical angle necessary for continued propagation in the light guide and, accordingly, continue to propagate along the optical fiber. Light rays which strike an optical element are reflected into the fiber at an angle less than the critical angle angle necessary for continued propagation in the light guide and, accordingly, are transmitted from the surface of the light guide.

Title: Novel natural resin formulations
Inventor: FREEL BARRY
IPC: C08H8/00
Filed: 2000-07-28
Abstract: This invention is directed to a method of preparing a natural resin by liquefying wood, bark, forest residues, wood industry residues, or other biomass using rapid destructive distillation (fast pyrolysis). Fast pyrolysis produces both vapors and char from biomass, and following removal of the char from the product vapors, a liquid pitch product is recovered and processed by distillation, evaporation, or a combination thereof, in order to obtain a natural resin which may be in either liquid or solid form. The natural resin comprises a total phenolic content from about 30% to about 80% (w/w), and is a highly-reactive ligninic compound that has been found to be suitable for use within resin formulations without requiring any further extraction or fractionation procedures. Resins comprising up to 60% natural resin have been prepared and tested in board production and found to exhibit similar properties associated with commercially available resins. The natural resin may substitute for phenol, or for both phenol and formaldehyde within phenol-containing resins. Similarly, the natural resin can replace a substantial part of the components within urea-containing resins.

Title: Driving scheme and electronic circuitry for the lcd electrooptical switching element
Inventor: PIRS JANEZ
IPC: G02F1/133
Filed: 1999-10-25
Abstract: The invention relates to the problem of the driving of the LCD electrooptic-switching element ( 1 ) with alternating, square-wave electric signals, the amplitude of witch can vary between different voltage levels in correspondence with the actual functioning state of the LCD electrooptic-switching element. The polarity changes of the electric driving signals is controlled by the integrator ( 9 ), integrating the difference of the electric potentials on the driving electrodes ( 2, 3 ) of the LCD electrooptic-switching element, in such a way that the value of time integral of the driving electric field is always kept within a selected interval. Besides this the time dependence of the electric driving signals can be optionally modified so that with every change of the polarity of the electric driving signals, the potentials on both driving electrodes get the same value for a time, which is significantly shorter than the switching time of the LCD electrooptic switching element.
