Abstract: The present invention provides liquid toner compositions in which the polymeric binder is chemically grown in the form of copolymeric binder particles dispersed in a liquid carrier. The polymeric binder includes at least one amphipathic copolymer comprising one or more S material portions and one or more D material portions, wherein the S material portion of the copolymer has molecular weight and solubility properties selected to provide a three dimensional gel of controlled rigidity which can be reversibly reduced to a fluid state by application of energy, and wherein the electrophotographic toner composition does not form a film under Photoreceptor Image Formation conditions.. The toners as described herein surprisingly provide compositions that are particularly suitable for electrophotographic processes wherein the transfer of the image from the surface of a photoconductor to an intermediate transfer material or directly to a print medium is carried out without film formation on the photoconductor. Methods of making liquid electrophotographic toner compositions and methods of electrophotographically forming an image on a substrate surface are also disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention provides a color correction process designed for enabling
all the hues in the image properly corrected without leaving any uncorrected range.
The inputted image data represented by the combination of 3 color signals is divided

Abstract: La présente invention concerne des dispositifs permettant de traiter des maladies et des troubles associés au tractus gastro-intestinal, notamment l'estomac, ou au tractus urinogénital. Initialement, le dispositif est dans une forme temporaire pour convenir à une administration par voie orale ou rectale. Après exposition à un stimulus, tel qu'à un changement de température ou de pH, le dispositif se déforme pour adopter une forme permanente qui permet sa fixation mécanique dans l'estomac, l'oesophage, ou l'intestin. Dans un mode de réalisation, le dispositif est utilisé pour réduire le volume de l'estomac, de l'oesophage ou de l'intestin sans perturber le flux sanguin à travers le tractus gastro-intestinal. Ce dispositif peut être utilisé pour aider des patients souffrant d'une surcharge pondérale à perdre du poids et pour délivrer des médicaments permettant de traiter des troubles et des maladies de l'estomac ou de l'intestin. Ces dispositifs sont fabriqués à partir d'une matière polymère sensible aux stimuli, qui est biocompatible et principalement adaptée aux caractéristiques mécaniques et à la géométrie de la zone à laquelle un tel dispositif est appliqué. Dans le mode de réalisation préféré, la matière est un polymère à mémoire de forme. Suivant le type d'application souhaitée, ce polymère peut être biodégradable ou non dégradable.

Abstract: The signals within a packet of transient signals are generated at timings corresponding to a binary pulse sequence having an autocorrelation function which, for all non-zero shifts, has a value which is substantially smaller than the maximum value at zero shift. The times of occurrence of the signals within a packet are such that the minimum gap between adjacent pulses in the corresponding binary pulse sequence exceeds a predetermined value, whereby the autocorrelation function of the binary pulse sequence exhibits a zero value for consecutive relative shifts which do not exceed a predetermined limit. Each transient signal may be a randomly-selected waveform with predetermined characteristics. At least one packet may be based on a composite sequence including a first binary pulse sequence interleaved with a second binary pulse sequence which is a time-reversed replica of the first binary pulse sequence, at least a substantial number of the transient signals corresponding to each binary pulse sequence being distinguishable from those corresponding to the other binary pulse sequence. <IMAGE>
