US Patent:

6852948, Feb 8, 2005

Filed:

Jun 13, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/880391

Inventors:

Paul Wollcott Harrison - Los Angeles CA, US

Assignee:

TherMark, LLC - Pittsburgh PA

International Classification:

B23K026/00
B05D001/04

US Classification:

21912185, 347224, 427483, 427555, 427556

Abstract:

A method of radiantly marking substrates including metals, plastics, ceramic materials, glazes, glass ceramics, and glasses of any desired form, which comprises electrostatically applying to the material to be marked a variable thickness layer of marking material containing energy absorbing components and/or enhancers, then irradiating said layer with a radiant energy source such as a laser or diode based energy source such that the radiation is directed onto said layer, optionally in accordance with the form of the marking to be applied, preferably using a laser or diode based energy source of a wavelength which is sufficiently absorbed by the marking material so as to create a bonding of the marking material to the surface of the workpiece at the irradiated areas.

Appl. No.:

8/893168

Inventors:

Paul A. Harrison - Roswell GA

International Classification:

A47C 762

US Classification:

2971882

Abstract:

A portable kit of components for mounting a computer accessory, such as a keyboard and operable mouse, to an armless chair. The accessory is removably attached to the chair, and readily transported between home and office, for example. The accessory comprises a saddle consisting of an essentially planar member adapted to rest on the seat of the chair, having a pair of downwardly extending side members, where each side member includes a tube receiving member for slidably receiving a second component. The side members include inwardly directed flanges having fastening positions for temporarily securing the saddle to the chair. Included in the kit of components are a pair of "T" shaped members (the second component) to be slidable received in and removably secured to the tube receiving member Finally, a pair of pivotal arms for removably engaging respective second arms of the "T" shaped member are provided. The remote ends include stands for mounting the computer accessory.

International Classification:

Abstract:

Methods and compositions are disclosed for quickly creating durable surface marks and/or decorations on substrates including metal, glass, ceramic, porcelain, natural and engineered stone, as well as plastics, polymer composites and other organic materials with color, high resolution and high contrast using inkjet technology and laser, NIR diode or UV LED energy. The improved methods and compositions are based on established and emerging sub-micron and nanoparticle technology. Most properties of nanoparticles are size dependent and do not become apparent until the particle size has been reduced to the nanometer scale. Examples of such properties include increased specific surface area, facilitating the absorption and/or scattering of visible light and laser, NIR diode or UV LED energy and the decreased melting point of such materials when their particle size is reduced to the nanometer scale. Improved results such as smoothness and durability are obtained by using nanoparticles of silica, pigments and other materials in such marking processes.

Abstract:

A community trading platform may be provided. The platform may be, for example, an internet-based trading system for non-securitized goods and services. More particularly, the platform may be comprised of methods and systems that are community based, creating virtual communities, collecting their data, displaying the community data, and presenting communication channels and market commands. In this way, the platform of the present disclosure may create a network of cross-matched and complementary communities, interconnecting markets for consummating transactions.
