  • Patent number: 11978606
    Abstract: A method includes receiving a first set of operational parameters that correspond to one or more semiconductor devices of a solid-state circuit breaker and sending a first command to the solid-state circuit breaker to turn off the one or more semiconductors in response to the first set of operational parameters exceeding a first set of thresholds. The method includes sending a second command to the solid-state circuit breaker to turn on the one or more semiconductors in response to the first set of operational parameters being equal to or less than the first set of thresholds. The method includes receiving a second set of operational parameters that correspond to one or more electrical properties associated with an operation of the solid-state circuit breaker coupled to a load device and generating a baseline profile representative of the first set of operational parameters and the second operational parameters.

  • Patent number: 7710441
    Abstract: An imaging system comprises a laser source for emitting a beam, a photoconductive surface, a scanning device and a controller. The controller designates at least a first part and a second part of each line of image data, corresponding to a first part and a second part of each associated sweep of the beam. The laser source is modulated based upon the first part of the line of image data during the first part of a first one of the associated sweeps of the beam. The laser source is not modulated according to image data for the second part of the first one of the sweeps. During the first part of a second one of the associated sweeps of the beam, the laser source is not modulated based upon image data. However, the laser source is modulated based upon the second part of the line of image data during the second part of the second one of the sweeps.

  • Patent number: 5502797
    Abstract: Printer (1) receives revised operating code in flash memory (19). To preserve offset adjustment unique to the printer, the values in new operating code are compared with those in the previous code, and new offsets preserving the previous offsets are stored in permanent memory (21). The use of permanent memory is minimized by basing the calculation on changes from start of production.

  • Patent number: 5325166
    Abstract: A printer for fusing images on sheets of at least three width size categories including small, medium, and large is operated by control through a microprocessor assigning -7 to full size sheets, +13 to small size sheets and +17 to envelopes. These are accumulated until the count reaches 127, at which the interpage gap is adjusted based on which of those three categories is being printed and which of the three categories will next be printed. This maximizes throughput without requiring a thicker fuser.
