Publication number: 20220376612Abstract: There is described a snubber circuit comprising an electronic switch. The circuit includes an impedance network comprising reactive circuit elements to smooth energy transients if the electronic switch is turned off and if the switch is turned on. A resistive element dissipates energy released by at least one of the reactive circuit elements. The resistive element is of a load to be driven using the electronic switch. A power supply unit may include the described snubber circuit.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 7, 2019Publication date: November 24, 2022Inventors: Juan Luis Lopez Rodriguez, Sergio Alejandro Lopez Ramos, Santiago Sanz Ananos, Antonio Rodriguez Avila, Jose Ma.

Patent number: 11318735Abstract: Method and devices for dynamically preventing printing errors caused by a media deformation are disclosed. In one example, a pen to print media space (PPS) distance is measured. A media deformation is identified in response to measuring the PPS distance. A corrective function is identified in response to identifying the media deformation. The corrective function identified is then performed. The proposed method provides for consistent quality across a print.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2018Date of Patent: May 3, 2022Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Santiago Sanz Ananos, Juan Uroz, Eduardo Amela Conesa, Francisco Lopez Moral, Marta Blanch Pinol, Diana Canto Estany

Patent number: 10449722Abstract: A method of fabricating a three dimensional object is provided. A build layer comprising an area of solidified build material and an area of non-solidified build material is formed. The build layer is formed by depositing a layer of non-solidified build material and treating the build material to form the area of solidified build material. The method also involves determining an edge profile for the build layer. Determining the edge profile involves measuring a variation in height of the build layer across a transition between the area of solidified build material and the area of non-solidified build material.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2015Date of Patent: October 22, 2019Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Santiago Sanz Ananos, Isabel Sanz Ananos, Sergi Culubret

Patent number: 10399271Abstract: A method of aligning an agent distributor in an apparatus for generating a three-dimensional object comprises selectively depositing an agent on a layer of build material to form a predetermined alignment pattern (211, 212, 311, 312), and detecting the alignment pattern (211, 212, 311, 312) from a height profile in a surface of the build material, and performing an alignment operation using the detected alignment pattern (211, 212, 311, 312). An alignment pattern (211, 212, 311, 312) may comprise, for example, a series of triangles which are scanned to determine misalignment.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2014Date of Patent: September 3, 2019Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Isabel Sanz Ananos, Sergi Culubret, Santiago Sanz Ananos
