Composite Relief Image Printing Elements

US Patent:
6472121, Oct 29, 2002
Filed:
Aug 6, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/922826
Inventors:
Edward Murphy - Douglasville GA
David Recchia - Smyrna GA
Daniel Rosen - Acworth GA
Assignee:
MacDermid Graphic Arts, Inc. - Atlanta GA
International Classification:
G03F 7095
US Classification:
4302731
Abstract:
High-quality composite printing elements are prepared without the need for precise registration of constituent photocurable elements by disposing at least one photocurable element, and preferably a plurality of photocurable elements, upon a surface of a printing element in approximate register and then transferring a computer-generated negative onto a surface of the elements.

Method For Preparing Relief Image Printing Plates

US Patent:
5147761, Sep 15, 1992
Filed:
Jun 11, 1990
Appl. No.:
7/535819
Inventors:
Forrest A. Wessells - Deltona FL
Edward T. Murphy - Douglasville GA
Steven A. Tambornini - Atlanta GA
Assignee:
W. R. Grace & Co.-Conn. - New York NY
International Classification:
G03F 700
US Classification:
430306
Abstract:
A method is provided for producing relief images having improved image fidelity and resolution. The method comprises positioning an image bearing negative transparency closely adjacent and substantially parallel to a layer of a photocurable material; positioning on the other side of the negative from the photocurable material and in substantially parallel relationship thereto at least one louver having a plurality of open cells, each cell extending through the louver along an axis perpendicular to the negative and having reflective side surfaces contoured to reflect and redirect rays of radiant energy incident thereon to a direction more normal to the negative surface; and passing radiant energy which is capable of curing the photocurable material through the louver and the negative and onto and through the photocurable material for a time sufficient to form a latent relief image in the photocurable material. The present invention is further directed to an apparatus for producing a latent relief image using the above method. The apparatus comprises, in sequence, a planar support for the photocurable layer, a negative in substantially parallel relation to the support, at least one louver which is positioned parallel in its major plane to the negative, and, immediately adjacent to the louver, a radiation source for irradiating the photocurable layer through the louver and the negative and effecting curing thereof.

Inkjet Composite Stereographic Printing Plate And Method For Producing Such Printing Plate

US Patent:
2008005, Mar 6, 2008
Filed:
Jul 31, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/888105
Inventors:
Edward T. Murphy - Douglasville GA, US
Thomas O. Gavin - Fairfield NJ, US
International Classification:
B41N 1/12, G03F 7/26
US Classification:
101395, 430306
Abstract:
A method of making a relief image printing plate by means of application of successive layers of polymer on a composite structure using inkjets. Relief depth (Need explanation in description of invention) is able to be minimized by building required press undercut thickness by applying the inkjetted polymer on the surface of a pre-manufactured composite structure of at least two layers; one an elastic polymeric material and one providing dimensional stability. An article—a relief image printing plate made by means of application of successive layers of polymer on a composite structure using inkjets in which a compressible layer is between the print layer and a dimensionally stable layer.

Patient Positioning Device

US Patent:
6986181, Jan 17, 2006
Filed:
Feb 21, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/080071
Inventors:
Stephen P. Murphy - Westfield MA, US
Edward T. Murphy - Douglasville GA, US
George W. Murphy - Franklin MA, US
Assignee:
GES Company - Douglasville GA
International Classification:
A47C 20/02
US Classification:
5648, 5624
Abstract:
The patient positioning device of this invention relates to an apparatus used to assist a patient into a supine position and additionally through which traction is applied to the spine, such as physical therapy and chiropractic treatment. The patient positioning device is preferably a stand alone portable device that can be readily transported and adapted to almost any horizontal surface, such as a treatment table. A primary application of the leg support of this invention is in raising and supporting a patient's lower legs during before, during, and after traction is applied to a patient. The device includes a lower support frame, vertical supports, and a leg support coupled to a top frame. The patient positioning device may also have a motor which powers the leg support to rotate from a lowered position, in which a patient's lower legs rest on the leg support, to an elevated position in which a patient's lower legs are elevated. Once in the elevated position, traction can be applied to the lower back preferably with a cable and a board that is placed across the front of a patient's thighs.

Printing Blanket With Lateral Stability

US Patent:
4981750, Jan 1, 1991
Filed:
Jan 23, 1989
Appl. No.:
7/299704
Inventors:
Edward T. Murphy - Douglasville GA
Dennis D. O'Rell - Boxborough MA
Assignee:
W. R. Grace & Co.-Conn. - Lexington MA
International Classification:
B32B 700
US Classification:
428220
Abstract:
A printing blanket having excellent lateral stability comprised of a carcass formed of one or more layers of woven fabric with low machine direction elongation characteristics, a nonwoven fabric attached to an upper surface of the lower most woven fabric layer, a compressible layer secured to the upper surface of the carcass and an ink transfer layer imposed upon the upper surface of the compressible layer. The blanket having a carcass containing a nonwoven layer comprised of continuous or discontinuous filaments, displays excellent cross machine direction elongation stability.
