International Classification:
B41J 2035
US Classification:
347 21
Abstract:
A device for the transport and/or metering of marking material includes a plurality of phased electrodes, for example formed on a substrate. An electrostatic traveling wave may be generated along the electrodes to sequentially attract particles of marking material, and thereby transport them to a desired location. The electrodes may be formed in a planar structure. A matrix interconnection scheme allows for reduced lead count.

International Classification:
G02F 3/00 H03K 19/20
US Classification:
359108, 326104
Abstract:
Electronic logic gates that operate using N logic state levels, where N is greater than 2, and methods of operating such gates. The electronic logic gates operate according to truth tables. At least two input signals each having a logic state that can range over more than two logic states are provided to the logic gates. The logic gates each provide an output signal that can have one of N logic states. Examples of gates described include NAND/NAND gates having two inputs A and B and NAND/NAND gates having three inputs A, B, and C, where A, B and C can take any of four logic states. Systems using such gates are described, and their operation illustrated. Optical logic gates that operate using N logic state levels are also described.

Assignee:
Xerox Corporation - Stamford CT
International Classification:
B32B 700
US Classification:
428698
Abstract:
An inorganic, top-surface, semiconducting dielectric overcoat, having a selected time constant permits electric field charge and dissipation at a selected rate to facilitate particulate material movement over an underlying electrode grid. The coating may be made from nitrides, oxides or oxy-nitrides of silicon, or amorphous silicon. A planarized, wear resistant, chemically stable surface, and minimized inter-electrode build-up are also provided by the overcoat.

International Classification:
H01L 2358 H01L 2976 H03K 17687
US Classification:
257489
Abstract:
A high current, high voltage transistor which can be easily electrically stacked to extend the voltage range and uses less silicon area than a conventional stacked transistor configuration and a configuration of field plates that provide the greatest breakdown voltages with the highest ohmic values. Also, a star shaped field plate design which provides the greatest breakdown voltages with the highest ohmic values. The field plate is constructed using several concentric rings connected by fingers that are wider at towards the center of the concentric rings and narrower towards the perimeter of the concentric rings.

International Classification:
H01L 2968 H01L 2978 H01L 2940
US Classification:
257329
Abstract:
A vertical transistor which is built in a substrate of a given first carrier type utilizing standard processes but which has a unique layout which facilitates high voltage, high current operation while still conserving space. The transistor is built utilizing a repeatable combination gate/source area that is built in the upper area of the substrate such that the remaining lower portion of the substrate underneath the combination gate/source area is the drain area of the transistor.

Abstract:
A FET which can be formed on a silicon substrate and which can operate in the enhancement mode. The n+ source and drain are centrally located within n-wells which extend under the gate area, and are separated by a distance. By appropriately choosing the distance between n-wells, different threshold voltages can be obtained for several transistors on the same chip.

Abstract:
A development system which includes a flexible donor belt having groups of electrode array near the surface of the belt is disclosed. The Electrode array has group areas in which perform the function of: Loading; Transferring; Developing; Transferring and Unloading. Each electrode array group area is independently addressable and operatively connected to voltage source in order to supply a voltage in the order of. quadrature. 0-1000 volts AC or DC to each group area. The electrodes array group area picks up the toner from the magnetic brush. An electrode array group area connected to the voltage source via phase shifting circuitry such that a traveling wave pattern is established. The electrostatic field forming the traveling wave pattern pushes the charged toner particles about the surface of the donor belt from the magnetic brush to the photoconductive belt where they are transferred to the latent electrostatic images on the belt by an electrode group area which generates a toner cloud in the development zone. Thereafter, toner is moved by an electrode array group area where an electrode group area is bias to unload remaining toner off the belt.
