A potable ergonomic computer workstation is disclosed which will permit a disabled individual to operate a computer in a convenient and comfortable fashion from a bed, wheelchair, any chair or standing. The workstation is potable and includes a variety of adjustable support elements which may hold and support computer components including the keyboard, screen, mouse and pad, as well as the computer itself. Other electronic elements, such as a printer, fax machine, copier, television etc. may be employed with the workstation as well. The workstation includes a plurality of articulating arm elements which may be adjusted to a such a configuration to permit a standing, bed borne, or wheelchair borne individual to be able to utilize the computer from a standing position, bed or wheelchair. The articulating arm elements are supposed by a central shaft member which in turn is supposed by a base. The central shaft member has a hollow center to hold various electrical wires (ie: fiber optic, analogous digital, video and audio) for the electronic devices. The base includes a plurality of wheels to permit the workstation to be easily moved about. The wheels include braking elements which may be locked to secure the workstation in position. The workstation may include paper securing means, lighting means and may be utilized by individuals who are not disabled.

This disclosure relates to an electrophotographic copying process suitable for use in a multiple copying system. The process is characterized by use of an electrophotographic medium comprising photosensitive organic compounds which are either (1) insulating prior to irradiation and substantially permanently conductive subsequent to irradiation or (2) conductive prior to irradiation and substantially permanently insulating subsequent to irradiation. The process comprises the steps of exposing the electrophotographic medium to a pattern of activating radiation to produce a latent image with a conductivity pattern that is irreversible and permanently altered and externally applying an electrical charge at any suitable time thereby forming an electrostatic pattern which can be developed by any of the known electrophotographic developing techniques. By consecutively repeating the steps of charging and developing, an indefinite number of prints can be made which are comparable in image quality and density to the original with a single step of exposure to the pattern of activating radiation. Consequently, a multiple copy system results which is substantially faster than conventional electrophotographic systems due to elimination of a requirement for repeated exposure of the electrophotographic medium to a source of activating radiation for each copy.
