Abstract: A system for monitoring an inkjet printing device and predicting failures or maintenance needs. The system includes one or more memory devices; a print analysis engine stored in the one or more memory devices to monitor the print output from the inkjet printing device, operation of the inkjet printing device, or any combination thereof; and one or more processor devices to perform actions, including: monitoring print output from the inkjet printing device, operation of the inkjet printing device, or any combination thereof; based on the monitoring, predicting a failure or maintenance need of the inkjet printing device; based on the prediction, suggesting or performing maintenance on the inkjet printing device to address the predicted failure or maintenance need; and, after maintenance has been performed, monitoring the print output, operation of the printing device, or any combination thereof to determine whether the predicted failure or maintenance need has been resolved.

Abstract: This invention relates to both process and tooling for machining exemplary Hamilton Sundstrand 7111 and 7121 aircraft propeller blade taper bores, or equivalent to comply with government and or industry standards or specifications for such refurbishment. The tooling and process invented are an Improvement over previous and current taper bore machining methods in improved repeatability and cost effectiveness, as this machining method can quickly and repeatedly machine propeller blades to meet fit, form, and function requirements. The process makes use of a specially constructed horizontal mill, specially constructed blade-holding fixture, specially constructed probing system, specially constructed reamers, and specially constructed air gauges. A blade holding fixture assembly including a base plate, a blade holding fixture and a blade alignment fixture hold an aircraft propeller blade in a horizontal milling machine for refurbishment of the taper bores.

Abstract: A method for adjusting a modifiable printing parameter of each of a plurality of printing elements of a printing device includes printing a plurality of test charts for each of the printing elements at different values of the modifiable printing parameter; measuring a variance of a printing density for each of the test charts; analyzing the measured variances for each of the printing elements; individually selecting a value of the modifiable printing parameter for each of the printing elements based on the analysis; and applying the selected value of the modifiable printing parameter for each of the printing elements to the printing device. Software density compensation can be applied to further reduce the variance of the printing density.

Abstract: A substrate loading device having a frame, a cassette support, and a user interface. The frame is connected to a substrate processing apparatus. The frame has a transport opening through which substrates are transported between the device and processing apparatus. The cassette support is connected to the frame for holding at least one substrate holding cassette. The user interface is arranged for inputting information, and is mounted to the frame so that the user interface is integral with the frame.

Abstract: A heating system for heating a substrate. The heating system may include a susceptor, where the susceptor has a substrate support surface. The heating system may further include a heat transfer layer, disposed on the substrate support surface, where the heat transfer layer comprising an array of aligned carbon nanotubes.

Abstract: A method of assessing a calibration of a printing device includes obtaining at least one test sample using the printing device; sending a request with user information to a calibration service provider for an analysis of the printing device, where the user information includes the at least one test sample or at least one test image of the at least one test sample; analyzing, by the calibration service provider, the user information and preparing a report including an estimate of improved print quality for a new calibration; and sending the report based on the analysis to the user. The method can also include determining whether to request the new calibration and, if so, requesting, receiving, and installing the new calibration. If not, the report may include one or more remedial actions that can be performed on the printing device.

Abstract: A corn cob harvesting machine includes a tractor, cob harvester, and trailer that together lift, clean, and separate corn cobs from a corn harvester combine chaff windrow. The cob harvester has a floating cob lift immediately adjacent to and through various skirts engaging the earth that is supported by and floats with respect to a support frame. The floating cob lift has a rotary paddle that lifts and throws cobs into the first cross draft separator. The first cross draft separator has a blower that generates a vacuum within the floating cob lift. An adjustable flap intermediate between rotary paddle and blower deflects cobs and other heavier matter out of the air stream, while lighter matter is removed. A first cross draft separator removes chaff, a rock trap separates rocks, and a second cross draft separator removes additional chaff. A discharge conveyor transfers cleaned corn cobs to the trailer.

Abstract: The inside wall of a fuel tank, and a sub-component are provided with locking means in the form of complementary formations that allow the sub-component to be coupled to the inside surface of the fuel tank wall. Interlocking of the complementary formations is achieved by moving the sub-component towards the wall providing angular movement to the sub-component relative to the fuel tank. A biasing structure imparts a tension between the sub-component and the fuel tank.

The movable lifting portion includes a plurality of lifting arms coupled to a plurality of lift pins. A plurality of force sensing elements are associated with respective ones of the plurality of lifting arms and the plurality of lift pins. A controller receives signals from the plurality of force sensing elements, correlates the signals to respective forces applied to said plurality of lift pins. The correlated forces may indicate to the controller that an error condition exists, such as a stuck wafer, a broken wafer, a mis-positioned wafer, or a mechanical malfunction.
