Abstract: Apparatus, systems, and methods for progressive corrosion detection are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a query generator to query a multiplexer channel to receive an output voltage, the multiplexer channel linked to a fin group of an electrode array, the fin group forming an open circuit in the absence of conductive crystal formation, a quantifier to determine, using a reference voltage, a difference between the reference voltage and the output voltage from the queried multiplexer channel, and a contamination level comparator to identify presence of conductive crystal formation based on the difference between the reference voltage and the output voltage.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes: an interrupting unit that, in case where image formation based on 2D image data is commanded during execution of 3D modeling based on slice data generated by slicing 3D data, suspends output of image formation data for formation of slice images on respective recording media by an image forming apparatus and output of control data that allow a post-processing apparatus to perform, without delay, post-processing of the 3D modeling on the recording media on which slice images have been formed by the image forming apparatus; a changing unit that changes order of execution of formation of remaining slice images of the 3D modeling, a remaining part of the post-processing of the 3D modeling, and image formation based on the 2D image data, according to a prescribed condition; and an output unit as defined herein.

Abstract: A method for determining the temperature of a heat source and an electronic unit, including a printed-circuit board equipped with a sensor and a heat sink, the sensor being connected to the heat sink in a heat-conducting manner.

Abstract: An inexpensive small-sized screen printing machine having low redundancy and high production efficiency and applicable to a dual conveying-type component mounting machine. A pair of substrate supporting tables juxtaposed in a specific direction is provided. Screen printing is alternately performed by a single print executing section in a common area which can be shared by the two substrate supporting tables. In doing so, when one substrate supporting table located at a print position among the pair of substrate supporting tables starts exiting the print position, the other substrate supporting table starts entry to the print position.

Abstract: Systems and methods for imprinting different types of articles of manufacture and for selectively enabling one or more of pre-treatment, processing, and/or post-treatment processes according to the type of article of manufacture to be processed.

Abstract: A system for printing hospital labels and wrist bands having a capture station, wherein a master label is created, and multiple independent label stations, wherein additional labels may be printed based solely on information in the master label, without being connected to a data network.

Abstract: Image data is input through an image data input means, and stored into an image data storage means on a job basis. The volumes of the respective stored jobs are recognized by a job volume recognition means. A processing priority determination means determines an output processing priority order of the stored jobs based on the recognized job volumes. An interrupt can be generated for a priority job even during output processing of another job according to the output processing priority order.

Abstract: A high resolution magnetic printing head comprises a pair of interlaced printed circuit board structures. Each printed circuit board structure comprises a two or three layer assembly in which each layer comprises a flexible printed circuit board having an elongated gap therein with electrically conductive signal lines crossing the gap. On each three layered structure, the signal lines on adjacent circuit boards are substantially parallel where the lines cross the gaps in the printed circuit boards. The two printed circuit board structures are adjacently disposed so that their respective elongated gaps are aligned but so that the conductive signal lines are interlaced. High permeability magnetic material is then deposited between said interleaved signal lines by electrodeposition so as to form magnetic pole pieces between the conductors bridging the elongated gaps.

Abstract: A magnetic printing process and multicopy magnetic printing machine employing this process is disclosed. The machine comprises a magnetizable carrier 2, magnetic recording transducers 8, an applicator 10 for coating a developer product onto the carrier, a device for application of the carrier coated with the said developer product onto a document 12 which is to be printed and finally a device 16 for erasing the magnetized areas. In accordance with the invention, the developer product utilized contains magnetic particles which are formed by grains whose dimensions are of the order of those of the elementary magnetized areas. The imprint on the document is then produced by pressing.

Abstract: A copying apparatus capable of both-side printing comprises automatic feed means, copy medium transport means, change-over guide means shiftable between a first position for one-side printing and a second position for both-side printing, and copy medium stop means for stopping and holding the copy medium at a predetermined position when it has been directed to the automatic feed means by the change-over guide means in its second position.
