  • Patent number: 8659278
    Abstract: A switching regulator (2-5) supplies a controllable stable average current to a load (1), such as series-connected light emitting diodes. A regulator controller (2) includes a hysteretic comparator (12, 30) which controls a switch in the form of a transistor (15) for switching current into an inductor (3). The comparator (12) has upper and lower thresholds. A first circuit comprising a fast current monitor (6) supplies a first signal to the comparator representing the instantaneous current in the inductor (3). A second circuit (36, 37, 41, and 42) supplies a second signal to the comparator representing an error between a desired regulator output and an actual regulator output.

  • Publication number: 20130077112
    Abstract: As set forth herein, methods and systems for automatic grouping of individual print jobs into a common job at a multifunction device. Received jobs stored in a job processing queue are analyzed to determine the filenames, submission times, and other related identification data. Those jobs sharing a common naming convention, submission time interval, or other common identifiers, are automatically grouped into a single, common job. Upon login, the user is able to approve or disapprove the grouping. For an approved grouping, the user is able to select finishing options via the user interface of the multifunction device to be applied to the common job. The common job, in which the finishing options have been propagated through each formerly individual job, is then output as if it were a single job by the multifunction device.

  • Publication number: 20120311905
    Abstract: A creased and perforated printable sheet is used with methods to produce framed printed pictures. The sheet comprises a flat sheet of media having a first side, a second side opposite the first side, and sheet edges between the first side and the second side. Perforations and creases are included within the first side and the second side of the sheet of media, and, when folded, produce a three-dimensional effect. The creases and the perforations define a picture region on the first side of the sheet of media and picture frame regions on the second side of the sheet of media. The picture region and the picture frame regions comprise surfaces having a material composition and texture that accepts and maintains marking material applied by printing devices. The perforations also define removable discard regions and tab slots. The removable discard regions are positioned only between the picture frame regions and the sheet edges.
