Abstract: A drying apparatus usable with a printing system includes a housing, a first set of radiative heating elements, a second set of radiative heating elements, and an air handling device. The housing includes a front region and a rear region adjacent to the front region. The front region includes an inlet to receive media. The rear region includes an outlet to pass media there through. The first set of radiative heating elements is disposed within the front region to heat the media. The second set of radiative heating elements is disposed within the rear region to heat the media. The air handling device is disposed across from the second set of radiative heating elements to jet air within the rear region to cool the media prior to the media being passed through the outlet.

Abstract: A printing system including a print engine, a drying module, and a heating module. The print engine applies printing fluid on media. The drying module dries the printing fluid and provides dried printing fluid. The heating module applies thermal energy to the dried printing fluid and transitions the dried printing fluid to a cured printing fluid that has improved durability versus the dried printing fluid.

Abstract: A method of predicting at least one drying parameter for a printing press includes estimating an amount and type of an ink to be deposited on a printing surface, determining at least one of: i) a type of the printing surface, ii) a thickness of the printing surface, and iii) a speed of the printing surface moving through the printing press, and calculating, via a controller associated with the dryer, the at least one drying parameter based at least on: i) the amount and the type of the ink to be deposited on the printing surface; ii) the type of the printing surface, iii) the thickness of the printing surface, and iv) the speed of the printing surface moving through the printing press. Also disclosed herein is a method of determining if the ink established on the printing surface is dry.

Abstract: A method of forming an interface between components having different rates of volumetric expansion includes forming an interface surface of the interface with respect to a center of growth such that slippage occurs at the interface between the components during volumetric expansion.

Abstract: A fuel cell layer includes a substrate, an array of fuel cells each having an anode, a cathode, and an electrolyte disposed on the substrate, conductors electrically coupled to the fuel cell array, a fuel flow channel defined in an anode side of the substrate; and a cathode air flow channel defined in a cathode side of the substrate.
