Printable electronic features on non-uniform substrate and processes for making same

Abstract: A system and process for compensating for non-uniform surfaces of a substrate when direct printing traces is provided. The system and process provided herein measures the surface of a substrate and can determine whether the surface is substantially flat, rises or falls, or whether a mesa or valley is encountered. Depending on the surface feature (i.e., mesa, valley, falling or rising surface), the direct printing system can change the frequency of the printing timing signal, advance or retard the print timing signal, advance or retard the print data, or make repeated passes over certain areas. In addition, the process disclosed herein can determine whether two, three or all of the aforementioned steps for compensating for non-uniform substrates should be combined to most effectively and efficiently print on the non-uniform surface of the substrate as intended.

Plant growth media and methods

Abstract: Methods of germinating seeds and growing easily transplantable seedlings are disclosed based upon the use of loose pulverulent bed materials the basic ingredient of which consists of a relatively stable form of finely dispersed aqueous liquid the individual droplets of which are enveloped and held within a coating network of smaller, strongly hydrophobic colloidal oxide particles. Methods of producing the basic ingredient are also disclosed as well as preferred proportions of various components and optimized pulverulent bed mixtures.

Charge-modified metal oxide particles

Abstract: The present invention relates to a charge-modified metal oxide and to toner and developer compositions incorporating same. The charge-modified metal oxide includes a metal oxide having a cyclic silazane treated therewith and optionally a second treating agent for imparting hydrophobicity. The charge-modified metal oxide have been found to provide effective free-flow attributes to the toner or developer composition and may further influence the charging characteristics of same.

Soft-focus cosmetic composition comprising fumed alumina

Abstract: A soft-focus cosmetic composition comprising about 3 wt. % or more fumed alumina particles, a method of enhancing the soft-focus effect of a cosmetic composition comprising combining the cosmetic composition with about 3 wt. % or more fumed alumina particles, and a method for disguising skin imperfections, which method comprises applying a cosmetic composition to the skin, wherein the cosmetic composition comprises about 3 wt. % or more fumed alumina particles.
