Abstract: A system of automatically naming an electronic document may include a scanning device. The system may receive a physical document that is to be converted into an electronic document, perform optical character recognition on at least a portion of the physical document to identify one or more terms that are present in the physical document, and store the identified terms in the data store associated with the scanning device. The system may receive input from a user that includes one or more first characters and corresponds to a title of the electronic document. The system may identify one or more terms from the data store that correspond to the one or more first characters by querying the data store using the received input, and cause the identified terms to be displayed to the user via a display device of the scanning device as suggested document names for the electronic document.

Abstract: A system and method is provided for determining the location of one or more biased transfer rolls relative to associated photoreceptors in a printer. The one or more biased transfer rolls can be moved into contact with an intermediate transfer surface bringing the surface into contact with associated photoreceptors to form a closed biased transfer roll image transfer nip for transferring an image from the photoreceptor to the intermediate transfer surface. The open or closed condition of the biased transfer roll image transfer nip is determined by applying a constant current to the biased transfer roll and evaluating a voltage at the biased transfer roll. The open or closed condition of different image transfer nips can be determined in a similar manner. A plurality of biased transfer rolls can be ganged together for simultaneous movement with respect to associated photoreceptors to form a plurality of image transfer nips, the open and closed condition which can also be determined.

Abstract: In a thermoelectric module consisting of p- and n-conducting thermoelectric material pieces which are alternately connected to one another via electrically conductive contacts, the thermoelectric module (19) is thermally conductively connected to a micro heat exchanger (13) which comprises a plurality of continuous channels having a diameter of at most 1 mm, through which a fluid heat exchanger medium can flow.

Abstract: A segment and heater fuser roll is disposed for a printing device including a plurality of heating elements in a preselected order relative to a voltage return. A plurality of voltage taps are disposed for applying selected power to ones of the plurality of heater elements. The heater elements vary in power density per unit length.

Abstract: An apparatus applies a charge to an imaging member, such as a photoreceptor in a xerographic printer. A shield is disposed to be operatively interposed between a non-imaging portion of the imaging member and a portion of the corona member, the shield being at least partially conductive, and in one embodiment, grounded. The shield prevents the accumulation of stray toner particles.

Abstract: A semiconductor package for power transistors of the LDMOS type has a metallic substrate with a die mounted directly thereon, lead frame insulators mounted thereon adjacent the die and a plurality of leads mounted on the insulators and electrically coupled to the die by bond wires. The substrate includes a body having opposite surfaces comprising pure copper layers, and with the body interior being at least partially comprised of a copper/diamond composite so as to act as a heat spreader and provide improved heat removal and low thermal expansion, as well as an electrical connection for the die. The body may be entirely comprised of a copper/diamond composite, or it may be comprised of a copper/tungsten composite having a copper/diamond composite insert therein. The copper/diamond composite is comprised of diamond particles within a copper matrix.

Abstract: A small and durable antenna for use with radio and microwave communications is formed as a helical conductor contained in a multilayered non-ferrite ceramic chip. The dielectric constant of the ceramic is selected to match the antenna to its operating frequency, which may be in the range of 0.5 to 10.0 Gigahertz. A process for making such antennas is also disclosed. The antenna may be used in portable terminals and other devices requiring small, durable and inexpensive antennae.
