This invention provides magnetite particles containing a silicon component inside and also a silicon component exposed on the surface of each particle, which are improved in the properties of electrical resistance, remanent magnetization, and fluidity in a well-balanced way and suited for use principally as powdery material for magnetic toner for electrostatic copying and as black pigment powder for coating materials; and also relates to a process for producing the particles.


1. Magnetite particles containing a silicon and/or silicon oxide compound in the interior thereof and also a silicon and/or silicon oxide compound exposed on the surface thereof, said silicon and/or silicon oxide compound on the surface being in an amount of from 0.1 to 2.0% by weight in terms of silicon with respect to the total amount of each of said magnetite particles and the ratio of the amount of the exposed silicon and/or silicon oxide compound to the total amount of said silicon and/or silicon oxide compound in each of said magnetite particles in terms of silicon, being in the range of 0.05 to 0.7, each of said magnetite particles having a shape of a sphere with a maximum diameter and a minimum diameter which satisfy the following relationships: (maximum diameter)/(minimum diameter)=1.00-1.1.

Printing toner. :D
 
Am I to infer that you've found a prospective source for the "iron-rich spherules?"

Interesting if true.
 
I am guessing in two 110 storey OFFICE BUILDINGS, there was a little print toner.

just a guess though.

OH it gets better some of the main tenets were banks, specify magnetic toner for printing checks. IT is standard all banks use it.

Why do I need MICR (magnetic) toner? Can’t I save money by printing my checks with “regular” toner?
Although you can physically print checks with “regular” toner instead of MICR toner, there are several important issues to consider before doing so.
Banks, clearing houses, and other financial institutions read checks in one of two ways – optically, or magnetically (and sometimes both ways). Some people believe that because “their bank” reads checks optically, they can therefore print them with standard toner without repercussions. The problem is, there is no way to guarantee that every check is processed by the bank on which it was drawn – in fact, there are usually several financial institutions involved, and chances are, at least one of them is a “magnetic-read-only” institution. This means that although your checks may make it through the system some of the time, sooner or later they will be slowed down because they have to be manually read, or in some cases, the bank will simply return them as unreadable.


The industry standard for printing checks calls for MICR toner, and for good reason: if someone were to attempt to duplicate a check on a copier, the toner on the copy would be “regular” toner, not MICR. Using MICR toner makes it much more difficult to photocopy a check, and that much easier to spot a fraudulent copy if one should be created.


Finally, there is the issue of “Due Diligence”. Due Diligence simply means that you have done your part to try to deter fraud. The industry standard for Due Diligence is a minimum of 3 security features, with at least one being overt (visible to the naked eye), one being covert (invisible to the naked eye), one being anti-alteration (making it difficult to change the information on the check), and one being anti-duplication (making it difficult to photocopy). Businesses who do not exercise Due Diligence leave themselves vulnerable to fraud, and, perhaps more importantly, pave the way for the bank to place the responsibility on the business for the lost funds. In short, if you don’t practice Due Diligence, the bank is not likely to cover any losses that result from fraud, on the simple grounds that you did not take sufficient measures to prevent it from happening. Assuming you’ve taken the trouble to practice Due Diligence, it really makes no sense to then print your checks with non-MICR (regular) toner and leave yourself exposed in that way. If you’ve incorporated ample security features into your checks and have printed them with MICR toner, you stand a much better chance of being compensated by the bank should any type of fraud take place.

So, the answer to the question is this: No, you don’t HAVE to use MICR toner to print your laser checks. HOWEVER, if you want them to be processed quickly, and if you want to protect yourself from fraud, we highly recommend that you use MICR toner to print your checks.

So basically, all of S. Jones groundbreaking evidence could easily be explained through electronics and printing toner...

Why am I not surprised.

[stifling laughter] Does this mean that the towers were brought down by LASER PRINTERS? :p
 
Hmm, and I suppose we're not talking about a few boxes of the one-liter-sized bottles of toner I'm familiar with for a small office copier. Those high-speed high-volume check-printing beasts must use the stuff by the barrel.

Spherical toner particles. I never thought of that. I see the patent, but is such a product in common use?

(By the way, I've never heard of banks printing checks. That's usually done by a printer, using magnetic ink.)
 
what is really sad, is that S. Jones claims to be a legit scientist, yet as most scientists will tell you, part of what you do is look at other reasonable, and more likely causes, of your evidence, before you proclaim something out in left field as the answer...

HAHAHAHA!!!... OOPS, Sorry....

I am guessing banks would use the same to print money orders, other documents of money exchange, etc...

Yes, that is it.
How many checks would have been stored with the other document in the buildings do not forget it is used on checks not IF the checks burn what happens to the micro particles, even government payroll check use it.

I really wanted to send this to Apollo20 first, however my email server is messed up keeps returning the mail with an error statement.
 
Regarding checks and security: Why couldn't a company have a "Go to www.thecheckisalie.com, enter the check number and the hash value here (3asj24kl3k!4) and it will verify the payee and amount of the check and whether it's been cashed yet" printed on their checks?
 
Just a thought...if there were document processing machines such as check encoders and sorters, there is another supply item that would be present in large quantities: MICR ribbons. All checks, when processed, have extra fields printed on the bottom line (routing numbers, amounts) by proof encoding machines. In a large proof department there may be hundreds of these machines processing thousands of documents each on any given day. MICR ribbons would have to be in stock in large quantities. MICR ribbons are essentially nothing more than a thin plastic ribbon coated with magnetic media. Burn the plastic away and all that is left is an ash rich in MICR magnetic media.
Like I said, just a thought....:rolleyes:
 
I must admit that I didn't laugh, but that's basically because I pretty much didn't get it at all.
