Publication number: 20230311478Abstract: Some embodiments relate to printing system is described that has an intermediate transfer member (ITM) in the form of a seamed endless belt for transporting an ink image from an image forming station, at which an ink image is deposited on ITM, to an impression station, where the ink image is transferred onto a printing substrate. Two drive members are provided for movement in synchronism with one another. Rotation of the drive members during installation of a new ITM serves to thread the strip through the printing system by pulling the strip from its leading end. Alternatively or additionally, indirect printing system comprising the ITM and an image forming station at which droplets of ink are applied to the ITM to form ink images thereon is disclosed. One or more blowing mechanisms (e.g. associated with the image forming station) are disclosed herein.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 20, 2023Publication date: October 5, 2023Inventors: AHARON SHMAISER, SAGI MOSKOVICH, Zohar GOLDENSTEIN, MATAN BAR-ON, YIFTACH KATZIR, HAGGAI KARLINSKI, ALON SIMAN-TOV, YEHOSHUA SHEINMAN, DANIEL ALKHANATI, ELAD PUR BUCHRAY

Patent number: 10703094Abstract: A printing system is described that has an intermediate transfer member in the form of a seamed endless belt for transporting an ink image from an image forming station, at which an ink image is deposited on the intermediate transfer member, to an impression station, where the ink image is transferred onto a printing substrate. The belt has along its edges formations of a greater thickness than the belt. The formations are received in channels to guide the belt and maintain the belt under lateral tension. Two drive members are provided, each located within a respective one of the channels. The two drive members are connected for movement in synchronism with one another and each has a respective laterally projecting gripper shaped for form locking engagement with the formations on a leading end of a strip from which the intermediate transfer member is to be formed.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2019Date of Patent: July 7, 2020Assignee: LANDA CORPORATION LTD.Inventors: Aharon Shmaiser, Sagi Moskovich, Zohar Goldenstein, Matan Bar-On, Yiftach Katzir

Patent number: 9530605Abstract: A system for generating pulses of charged particles, comprising a high intensity pulsed laser emitting laser pulses which, when impacting a target, generate pulses of charged particles. The particles passes through an electromagnet energized by a low inductance current feed incorporating a light activated switch to turn the energizing current on and off. Part of the light of the laser pulse is directed onto the light activated switch, such that the magnetic field is optically synchronized with the generated pulses of charged particles. This enables energizing the magnet only during passage of the pulses, such that it is lighter and more energy efficient than prior art systems using CW electromagnets. Synchronization also enables selection of charged particles having a predetermined range of particle energy, by timing activation of the magnetic field such that it diverts onto a selected beam path only the particles having the predetermined range of energies.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2013Date of Patent: December 27, 2016Assignee: HIL APPLIED MEDICAL LTD.Inventors: Eyal Gad Nahum, Shmuel Eisenmann, Arie Zigler, Sagi Brink-Danan, Yiftach Katzir
