20120105555 | FLUID CONTAINER HAVING MIXING CHAMBERS FOR MICRO-FLUID APPLICATIONS - A consumable supply item for an imaging device holds an initial or refillable volume of pigmented ink. Its housing defines an interior and exterior. The interior retains the ink and an exit port supplies it to an imaging device. Users orient the housing to deplete the ink in a direction of gravity toward a bottom surface of the interior en route to the exit port. The ink passes through a mixing chamber having inlet ports arranged to restrict to multiple different heights the entrance of the volume of ink from the interior. As ink draws from various heights into the chamber, sediments in the pigment mix together. The design overcomes settling. It also avoids mechanical stirring and other complex mixing techniques. Further embodiments include chamber shapes, configuration of inlet ports, and construction of the supply item, to name a few. | 05-03-2012 |

20090259068 | REACTION SYSTEMS FOR MAKING N-(PHOSPHONOMETHYL) GLYCINE COMPOUNDS - This invention generally relates to liquid phase oxidation processes for making N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine (also known in the agricultural chemical industry as glyphosate) and related compounds. This invention, for example, particularly relates to processes wherein an N-(phosphonomethyl)iminodiacetic acid (NPMIDA) substrate (i.e., N-(phosphonomethyl)iminodiacetic acid, a salt of N-(phosphonomethyl)iminodiacetic acid, or an ester of N-(phosphonomethyl)iminodiacetic acid) is continuously oxidized to form an N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine product (i.e., N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine, a salt of N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine, or an ester of N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine). This invention also, for example, particularly relates to processes wherein an N-(phosphonomethyl)iminodiacetic acid substrate is oxidized to form an N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine product, which, in turn, is crystallized (at least in part) in an adiabatic crystallizer. | 10-15-2009 |

20100067056 | Automated ink color matching of solids and tones - In the development of custom SPOT color inks, there will be only a single combination of pigments that will produce the correct color for both the solid tones and for one or more halftones intermediate between the full tone and the unprinted substrate. A novel system and method is presented for finding such a combination of colorants without requiring a complex suite of software algorithms. The method includes a search of a library of known colored inks printed onto a specified substrate and printed using specified printing conditions. Each record of such a library can contain, for example, the ink formula, the combination of colorants and resin, the spectral reflectance factor of the ink and substrate, color values (XYZ and CIELAB) of the solid ink color (100% tone) and 10% steps down to 0% (unprinted substrate). In such a database halftones can be specified in units of % (0% to 100%), but can also, for example, be given as 8-bit integers (0 to 255). In exemplary embodiments of the present invention, such a search locates the solid ink color that meets the color requirements and simultaneously meets the color requirements at one or more intermediate halftone steps. The claimed method can thus achieve a printing ink formula that produces a color match to a customer proof at both the solid color and at one or more halftones with ink coverages lying between the unprinted substrate (0% tone) and the fully printed substrate (100% tone). | 03-18-2010 |
