Xerox Researchers Hit Patent Milestones in 2012

His current work includes solid ink delivery; ink delivery system modeling and ink melt performance optimization.

Naveen Chopra

Patent Milestone: 75

Chopra is a senior research scientist at XRCC and recently obtained his 75th patent for a radiation-curable gel ink composition with reduced liquid separation. 

He is now involved in the design, synthesis, formulation and testing of robust solid ink, UV curable gel ink, and transient documents.

Gabriel Iftime

Patent Milestone: 75

Iftime is a senior research scientist at XRCC who specializes in developing applications for smart materials.

Iftime is passionate about proof of concept and prototype demonstration as well as developing intellectual property strategy for new materials technologies.

Karen Moffat

Patent Milestone: 75

Moffat is area manager of the analytical services and characterization group at XRCC and also acts as industry-university contract liaison manager. She currently holds 94 patents, and her 75th describes the design of light magenta emulsion aggregation toners that produce images with excellent color fidelity.

Her current projects include working with Emulsion Aggregation (EA) toner, focusing on both the design and implementation.

Bob Street

Patent Milestone: 75

Street is a senior research fellow at Palo Alto Research Center (PARC), a Xerox Company. One of his recent patents addresses a three-dimensional curved sensor or display backplane for devices that need to conform to a specific shape. It describes a method to address a pixel array that is fabricated on a flat substrate and then cut and bent into a three dimensional shape enabling future applications such as shaped electronics for a car dashboard display.

His current projects include work on organic solar cells and thin film transistor backplanes.
