Abstract: Systems and methods for industrial printing, e.g., using drop-on-demand (DOD) inkjet print heads, include, in at least one aspect, a printing device including: a print head including a print engine, including multiple nozzles, and circuitry to selectively eject ink through the multiple nozzles to form an image on a moving substrate, and to purge the ink through the multiple nozzles; and a printhead enclosure having an opening in front of the multiple nozzles to allow the selectively ejected ink to pass through the opening when the selectively ejected ink is ejected toward the moving substrate; wherein the printhead enclosure includes a hole placed away from the multiple nozzles; and wherein the printhead enclosure is configured to direct the ink that is purged through the multiple nozzles along an inside surface of the printhead enclosure to the hole through which the ink flows and exits the printhead enclosure.

Abstract: A wheel assembly includes a wheel having a surface and defining a plurality of slots and a cap having a cap surface. The cap includes a plurality of positioning posts extending from the cap surface, each positioning post including a pillar and a stop fixed to the pillar. The pillar extends farther from the cap surface than the stop. The stop has a distal end. Each pillar is received by one of the slots of the wheel and the distal end of each stop is engaged with the surface of the wheel.

Abstract: Brake rotor apparatus for use with vehicles are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a brake rotor having braking surfaces. The apparatus includes first fins coupled to the brake rotor and disposed between the braking surfaces. The first fins are distributed along a first radius of the brake rotor and extend radially outward. The apparatus includes second fins coupled to the brake rotor and disposed between the braking surfaces. The second fins are distributed along a second radius of the brake rotor smaller than the first radius and adjacent the first fins.

Abstract: A device for mitigation Geomagnetic Induce Currents in the power distribution network is described. It may be connected to the neutral of a star-connected three-phase transformer of the power distribution system to ground without compromising its basic insulation, operation or integrity of the system. It requires a circuit having a surge arrester resistor having an adaptive nonlinear negative volt-ampere which is inserted from the transformer neutral to ground and a ground switch connected to the ground and also connected to the surge arrester. The device has two different current paths: whenever there is no GIC the switch remains closed and current flows from the transformer to the ground via the ground switch. Under Geomagnetic Induce Currents, the ground switch opens, allowing the induced current to flow from the transformer to the ground via the surge arrester.

Abstract: The disclosure describes systems and methods relating generally to filtration. Even more particularly, this disclosure relates to controlling the operation of a pump using filter information. A removable filter can include an electronically readable tag storing filter information. The filter information can be read by a tag reader and rules applied to the filter information to determine whether or how to operate a pump.

Abstract: A device for mitigating Geomagnetically Ground Induced Currents (GIC) flowing from the neutral of a star-connected three-phase power transformer to ground without compromising its basic insulation, operation or integrity. Resistor (R10), of an adaptive non-linear negative volt-ampere characteristic is inserted, from the transformer neutral (N) to ground (G), by opening the ground switch (S1) depending on its DC flow magnitude. Such an insertion to render said induced currents, for any given GMD severity, blocked and inconsequential to the equipment because of (R10) very large resistance prevailing at that condition.

Abstract: A device for reducing Geomagnetically-Induced Currents (GIC) in transformer apparatus of an AC power system that comprises a resistor (R10) in parallel with a protective varistor (V10) forming a passive-circuit arrangement. Such passive-circuit arrangement is connected on one end (N) to the neutral of the transformer and grounded on the other end (G). The combination of these elements produces a conductive path from said neutral to ground resulting in a proper reduction of said GIC currents, while substantially sustaining the neutral-grounding characteristics of said transformer.
