Disperse dye inks are used in the inkjet textile printing of polyester fabrics. We aimed at developing a black disperse dye ink consisting of yellow, magenta, and cyan dyes that met the exacting requirements of safety, image durability, and storage stability. One difficulty we met was dye particles tending to aggregate/agglomerate, leading to sedimentation and the threat of head clogging and/or...

In energy constrained Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), network lifetime is considered as one of the most important metrics from the design point of view. In our paper, we have addressed the impact of a disperse node on network lifetime and have proposed a new design approach, Lifetime Enhancement for Disperse Networks (LEDN) to reduce its effect on a two tiered WSN. A mathematical analysis has a...
