Patent number: 11850842Abstract: A printing system comprises a print fluid deposition assembly, a media transport device, and an air flow control system. The print fluid deposition assembly comprises a carrier plate and a printhead arranged to eject a print fluid through an opening of the carrier plate to a deposition region. The media transport device holds a print medium against the movable support surface by vacuum suction and transports the print medium through the deposition region. The air flow control system comprises an air supply unit comprising air flow guide structure extending into the opening of the carrier plate between the carrier plate and the printhead to flow air through the opening. The air flow control system controls the air supply unit to selectively flow the air based on a location of a print medium relative to the printhead.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2021Date of Patent: December 26, 2023Assignee: XEROX CORPORATIONInventors: Patrick Jun Howe, John Patrick Baker, Brian M.

Patent number: 11652931Abstract: An MFD is disclosed. For example, the MFD includes a processor and a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a plurality of instructions. The instructions when executed by the processor cause the processor to perform operations that include receiving an email, determining that a user wants to establish a connection based on the email, generating a reply email to the user, wherein the reply email includes an executable file that automatically configures an endpoint device of the user to establish the connection, transmitting the reply email to the user, and establishing the connection to the endpoint device of the user in response to execution of the executable file by the endpoint device of the user.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2021Date of Patent: May 16, 2023Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Timothy P. Foley, Patrick J. Howe, Richard A. Kalb, Glenn Batchelor, Ali R. Dergham

Patent number: 11117774Abstract: A system for controlling curl in sheets passing beneath a camera includes applying a thin layer of high velocity air to a curved baffle positioned beneath the camera. The high velocity air layer, which will have a tendency to follow the curved baffle (Coanda effect), will divert sheets (Bernoulli effect) towards the curved baffle. By positioning the curved baffle along the media paper path and by applying a uniform air stream to it, a lower pressure area will be created. This will flatten the trajectory of the sheets and thereby remove curl before the sheets pass the camera.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2019Date of Patent: September 14, 2021Assignee: XEROX CORPORATIONInventors: Rachel Lynn Tanchak, Erwin Ruiz, Carlos M Terrero, Roberto A Irizarry, Glenn Batchelor, Ali R Dergham

Patent number: 11046544Abstract: An apparatus for controlling cross curl in corners of sheets between in-line transports includes a curved baffle placed between the two transports. A thin layer of high velocity air is applied to the curved baffle only at lead edge corner regions of the sheets. The high velocity air layer, which will have a tendency to follow the curved baffle (Coanda effect), will divert corners of the sheets (Bernoulli effect) towards the curved baffle. By positioning a curved baffle between the two transports and by applying a uniform air stream to it, a lower pressure area will be created. This will flatten the corners of the sheets and ensure passage between downstream baffles and acquisition by a downstream transport.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2019Date of Patent: June 29, 2021Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Roberto A Irizarry, Glenn Batchelor, Rachel Lynn Tanchak, Ali R Dergham, Erwin Ruiz

Patent number: 8862017Abstract: An acoustic cavity conditions the air flowing from a blower to reduce noise in the airflow. The air flowing directly out of the blower exhibits pulses produced by each impeller blade or fan blade. The airflow noise is thereby induced at certain frequencies. Printing operations inside a printer can also occur at specific frequencies. Introducing the airflow directly into certain areas of a printer can result in the noise frequencies and printing frequencies to combine and produce noticeable printing artifacts. An acoustic cavity tuned to dampen the airflow noise can condition the airflow and eradicate the printing artifacts.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2012Date of Patent: October 14, 2014Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Jorge Rodriguez, Glenn Batchelor, Francisco Zirilli, Ali Dergham
