20110040189 | COLLAPSED MODE OPERABLE CMUT INCLUDING CONTOURED SUBSTRATE - A capacitive ultrasound transducer capable of operation in collapsed mode either with a reduced bias voltage, or with no bias voltage, is provided. The transducer includes a substrate that is contoured so that a middle region of the flexible membrane is collapsed against the substrate in the absence of a bias voltage. A non-collapsible gap may exists between the substrate and peripheral regions of the flexible membrane. The contour of the substrate may be such as to strain the flexible membrane past the point of collapse, or to mechanically interfere with the flexible membrane. The substrate may include a further membrane disposed beneath the flexible membrane, the further membrane being contoured so that the flexible membrane is collapsed against it. The substrate may a support disposed beneath the further membrane to deflect a corresponding portion of the further membrane upward toward the flexible membrane. The support may be a post.

20140260515 | System and Method for Run-Time Hermeticity Detection of a Capped MEMS Device - Determining if a hermetically sealed MEMs device loses hermeticity during operation. In one embodiment, the MEMs device is an accelerometer. A test signal having an associated frequency above an operational frequency range for the accelerometer is provided to the accelerometer at an input during operation of the accelerometer for sensing an acceleration. The output signal of the accelerometer is filtered at least above the operational frequency range of the accelerometer producing a test output signal. The test output signal is then compared to a predetermined threshold to determine if the amplitude of the test output signal differs from the threshold. If the amplitude of the test output signal differs from the predetermined threshold, an error signal is produced indicating that hermeticity of the accelerometer has been lost. | 09-18-2014 |

20110280639 | CURVED PRE-FUSER TRANSPORT TO ENABLE LARGER SHEETS THROUGH A XEROGRAPHIC PRINT ENGINE - A media transport that will fit between a xerographic transfer station and a fuser station is provided by this invention. The purpose of this media transport is to increase the distance that media with an unfused image will travel from transfer to fusing stations thus permitting longer media to be used in the xerographic system without the risk of disturbing the unfused image. A vacuum is positioned internally of the transport that will provide a vacuum force to hold a media sheet to belts that are guided by the top surface of the media transport. The media transport has a configuration with an arced top surface where the arc length of the top surface exceeds the overall width of the transport. | 11-17-2011 |
20120308286 | SIMPLIFIED BELT SEAM SKIP IN CONTINUOUS WEB FEED MACHINES - A system that avoids any stopping or reversing of the web direction in a continuous feed printer, instead maintaining consistent process speed, only requiring a slowing and speeding up of the web to cycle through the PR belt seam. This is done by forming a web loop and then immediately flattening the loop after passage of the seam through the transfer zone that includes two transfer BTR rolls with alternating transfer operations, but simultaneous transfer for short periods. Two vacuum assist rolls, one located between the two bias transfer rolls controls the formation of the web loop. A pair of nip forming rolls upstream of the first transfer station and a second vacuum assist roll downstream of the second transfer station control the size of the loop. | 12-06-2012 |
20130139847 | CLEANING STRUCTURE AND METHOD FOR FRICTION ROLL FEEDERS - With a cleaning system/method, a user places a printing device in a cleaning mode, inserts a cleaning apparatus that includes a cleaning sheet into a paper supply tray of the printing device, and executes a cleaning operation on the printing device. With the system, a set of instructions is stored on a machine-readable medium. The set of instructions causes the printing device to execute a cleaning operation on a feed nip of the printing device. The cleaning sheet cleans the feed roller and the retard roller when it is positioned within the feed nip during the cleaning operation. The set of instructions cause the printing device to move the cleaning sheet into the feed nip and to rotate the feed roller and the retard roller for a predetermined time period, when the printing device is placed into a cleaning mode. | 06-06-2013 |

20110148026 | SYSTEM FOR GUIDING MEDIA IN AN IMAGING APPARATUS - A guiding system for diverting media from an input media path to an output media path in an imaging system eliminates marking and curling of media. The system employs a drive roll, an idling belt carried on one or more idler rolls, and a release roll. The idling belt presses media onto the drive roll, eliminating the relative motion between media and the drive roll and hence avoiding marking. The penetration of the release roll into the drive roll controls curling of media. | 06-23-2011 |
20120251148 | VACUUM DRIVE FOR WEB CONTROL AT PHOTORECEPTOR - Systems and a method for image forming systems to skip over the non-printing photoreceptor area in order to not skip a label position on a continuous print web medium.

The system includes a print cutter, a computer storage device, and a processing device. The print cutter cuts a print according to an image-content dependent cut pattern. The computer storage device stores image component metadata created from image content of an image disposed on the print to be cut. The processing device uses the image component metadata to generate the image-content dependent cut pattern to be used by the print cutter to cut the print. | 01-31-2013 |
20130138234 | MEDIA-BASED SYSTEM FOR FORMING THREE-DIMENSIONAL OBJECTS - Embodiments described herein are directed to generating physical three-dimensional color-accurate objects based on a 3D computer-based color model using printed layers of media. Embodiments can slice a 3D computer-based color model into 3D cross-sectional components, which retain the color information of the model. The 3D cross-sectional segments can be converted into 2D page images and the color information can be included in a plan image corresponding to the cross-sectional segments. Embodiments can print the page images to form cross-sectional prints which can be layered and trimmed to shape the prints into a color accurate physical object that represents the model. | 05-30-2013 |
