Abstract: PCT No. PCT/AU90/00330 Sec. 371 Date Apr. 8, 1992 Sec. 102(e) Date Apr. 8, 1992 PCT Filed Aug. 3, 1990 PCT Pub. No. WO91/01799 PCT Pub. Date Feb. 21, 1991.The specification discloses a process for heating solid particulate materials. The process comprises entraining the solid particulate materials in a gas to form a stream of gas containing entrained particles and containing this stream with a stream of hot gases. The contact between the two streams is performed in such a manner that at least a portion of the solid particulate material is heated rapidly and the heated and unheated particles enter flow patterns in which contact between the particles and with interior surfaces of contact chamber is minimized. A heating and treatment chamber for applying the process to the treatment of solid particulate materials is disclosed. The specification also discloses a molten bath reactor combined with the chamber for heating and treating solid particulate materials. Hot off gases from the molten bath reactor can be passed through the chamber and treated particulate material from the chamber can be inserted in the molten bath reactor or partially recycled through the chamber.

Abstract: A method for preparing a transparency involves application of hot melt ink to a transparent substrate to form a three-dimensional pattern with subsequent heating of the hot melt image above its melting point to change the configuration of the upper surface. In the embodiment described in the specification, a hot melt ink image on a substrate is treated in a continuous manner by moving it along a platen having a heating zone to melt drops of hot melt ink and cause them to spread on the substrate. The platen has a flat central portion and curved portions at each end with curvatures sufficient to prevent formation of cockle. At the output end of the heating zone, the substrate is moved continuously into a quenching zone where a cooling platen cools the substrate by thermal contact at a rapid rate to prevent crystallization or frosting of the hot melt ink image. After the quenching zone, the substrate is moved along a surface having a reverse curvature with respect to the curved portions of the heating platen to eliminate residual curvature of the substrate resulting from the curved portions of the heating platen.

Abstract: An apparatus for developing an image on a photoconductive surface (34,44). The apparatus includes a first roller (36) positioned adjacent to the photoconductive surface (34). Negatively charged toner is supplied to the surface of the first roller (36) where the toner electrostatically adheres, either in a uniform layer or a variable layer, to the surface of the first roller. The negatively charged toner electrostatically adhered to the surface of the first roller (36) is then transferred to the photoconductive surface (44). The apparatus may also include a second roller (38) held at a positive charge relative to the first roller (36) for electrostatically transferring toner from the second roller to the first roller. Alternately, the positive charge on the second roller relative to the first roller may be produced by placing a negative charge on the first roller or by placing a negative charge on the second roller and a more negative charge on the second roller. By placing a negative charge on the second roller, the toner will also be negatively charged before transfer to the first roller. <IMAGE>
