Publication number: 20220048302Abstract: A method of drying print agent is disclosed. The method comprises blowing hot air onto an absorbent printable medium that bears water- and/or solvent-based print agent to reduce the viscosity of the print agent and to promote absorption of at least some water and/or solvent in the print agent by the printable medium; and, subsequent to the blowing of hot air, irradiating the printable medium with ultraviolet radiation to dry the unabsorbed portion of print agent on the printable medium. A printer ink drying apparatus and a print apparatus are also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 30, 2019Publication date: February 17, 2022Applicant: HP SCITEX LTD.Inventors: Alex Veis, Yubai Bi, Eyal Kotik, Amir Hesed

Patent number: 10518566Abstract: Examples described herein include method for calibrating LED modules in a curing engine. The method of calibrating UV curing modules includes receiving an uncured calibration image and initiating a curing operation that includes operating the curing modules according to a plurality of corresponding initial power level settings to apply radiant energy to the uncured calibration image to generate a cured calibration image. The method further includes receiving user input or information about an image characteristic of the cured calibration image from a user. The method then includes analyzing the user input to generate adjustments to the corresponding initial power level settings, and then applying the adjustments to the corresponding initial power level settings to generate a plurality of corresponding adjusted power level settings.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2019Date of Patent: December 31, 2019Assignee: HP SCITEX LTD.Inventors: Eyal Kotik, Alon Levin

Patent number: 7300261Abstract: A gas turbo pump assembly for connection to a port of a vacuum chamber and having high throughput with low vibration. The assembly comprises a turbo pump and a vibration damper. The pump has a pump body with an external surface and a center axis defining a first axial end and a second axial end of the pump. The pump also has a pump inlet port, the inlet port being coupled to the vacuum chamber port disposed at the first axial end of the pump, and an exit port disposed proximate the second axial end of the pump. The assembly vibration damper is structured to enclose a substantial portion of the pump in a nested arrangement.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2003Date of Patent: November 27, 2007Assignee: Applied Materials, Inc.Inventors: Hagay Cafri, Eyal Kotik, Eitan Pinhasi, Igor (Krayvitz) Krivts

Patent number: 6899765Abstract: A process chamber for processing or inspecting a substrate such as a semiconductor wafer and the like includes a internal chamber employing dynamic seals at the interface of relatively moving elements. In one embodiment, the internal chamber has a first element, such as a lid or cover, and a second element, such as the body of the chamber. The first element and the second element meet at the interface. The internal chamber may further include a substrate support, mounted inside the internal chamber, supporting a substrate. A first movement system may produce at least one type of relative movement between the first element and the second element. A second movement system may produce second relative movement between the second element and the substrate support. The resulting structure allows movement of the chamber, while maintaining pressure inside the chamber.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2002Date of Patent: May 31, 2005Assignee: Applied Materials Israel, Ltd.Inventors: Igor Krivts, Eyal Kotik, Eitan Pinhasi, Hagay Cafri
