| 81 | Color thermal recording method and color thermal printer | US892227 | 1997-07-14 | US6084624A | 2000-07-04 | Kenji Yamakawa |
| A color thermosensitive recording material includes a support and yellow, magenta and cyan thermosensitive coloring layers formed on the support. The three coloring layers are different in thermal sensitivity. The yellow coloring layer is the farthest from the support and having fixability to ultraviolet rays of a first wavelength range. The magenta coloring layer has fixability to ultraviolet rays of a second wavelength range. To print a full-color image, the recording material is conveyed alternately in advancing and returning directions. In conveying the recording material in the advancing direction for three times, yellow, magenta and cyan images are recorded respectively to the three coloring layers inside a recording area on the recording material by use of a thermal head. A fixer is operated, which selectively applies ultraviolet rays of the first and second wavelength ranges to the recording material being moved past a ray applying region in a printing path, to fix the magenta and cyan color images. While a border between the recording area and a non-recording area is moved past the ray applying region, a shutter is moved together with the recording material, to avoid fixing the magenta and yellow coloring layers in the non-recording area. | ||||||

| 83 | Apparatus for laser-discharge imaging and focusing elements for use therewith | US602881 | 1996-02-16 | US5764274A | 1998-06-09 | John G. Sousa; Richard A. Williams; Mitchell C. Ruda; Josh Foster |
| A focusing assembly includes features that allow numerical aperture to be reduced and optimized by reducing aberrations and ghost reflections and easily controlling stop size, thereby increasing depth-of-focus. The assembly includes a single, bi-aspheric focusing lens that optimizes image quality at a specific off-axis field point. Passage of excessively divergent radiation is prevented by a baffle having a sharp, flared edge that minimizes reflection. A second aperture or baffle can be included to restrict high-divergence radiation emerging from the bi-aspheric focusing lens. All interior surfaces of the focusing assembly are preferably blackened, once again to minimize internal reflections. | ||||||

Also included is an energy source and a resistive heating apparatus. The resistive heating apparatus includes a resistive heating delivery element with a distal tip that delivers ablative energy from a variety of energy sources to the interior coating of the ornament. A motion control device is associated with the resistive heating apparatus. The motion control device provides movement of the resisting heating delivery element distal tip in two or more orthogonal directions in the interior of the ornament. Further, a signal generating apparatus is connected to the motion control device and produces a signal to the motion control device that results in movement of the resistive heating element and its distal tip along the interior coating to produce the desired pattern.

| 86 | Permanent heat activated transfer printing process and composition | US506894 | 1995-07-25 | US5734396A | 1998-03-31 | Nathan S. Hale; Ming Xu |
| An image is printed on a medium by means of a computer driven printer using an ink composition comprising heat activated dye solids, without activating the dye solids during the process of printing onto the medium. The image is transferred from the medium to the object on which the image is to permanently appear by applying sufficient heat and pressure to the medium to activate the dye and transfer the image to the object. The liquid form of the ink composition uses a liquid carrier and an emulsifying enforcing agent which has an affinity for the dye. The emulsifying enforcing agent shields the heat activated dye both prior to, and during, the printing process. | ||||||
