Abstract: A device and method for managing a schedule of one or more events in a navigation device of a vehicle. The method includes determining by the navigation device that a predetermined vehicle event has occurred; receiving the schedule by the navigation device based upon the step of determining; and issuing an alert by the navigation device that a scheduled event has passed, is occurring or will occur within a predetermined time.

Abstract: An antijamming device for a printed ticket vending machine having an exit opening for exiting of a printed ticket and a control for controlling feeding of unprinted tickets to a printing mechanism for printing tickets, having a pathway through which printed tickets pass from the printing mechanism to the exit opening, and a sensor in the pathway for sensing when an occlusion occurs at the exit opening to prevent bunching of the printed tickets at the exit opening and stopping feeding of printed tickets to the exit opening.

Abstract: A method of cleaning a cylinder of a printing machine comprises the steps of pressing a cleaning cloth onto the outer peripheral surface of the cylinder while the cylinder is rotating; forwardly feeding the cleaning cloth so as to wipe off contaminant on the outer peripheral surface of the cylinder; and partially feeding backwardly the portion of the cleaning cloth which has been fed forwardly during the preceding cleaning operation, before the next cleaning operation is started, whereby the portion of the cleaning cloth is partially used again for the cleaning in the next cleaning operation.

Abstract: A calendering and brush roller assembly that may be easily integrated into a screen process printing machine and which utilizes a novel vacuum cleaning system in combination with brush rollers which not only removes the agglomerated lithographic powder from the printing stock but also removes the powder from the crush roller assembly to either minimize or entirely obviate the requirement for frequent periodic cleaning of the assembly. The crush roller assembly of the present invention is designed to crush litho printing powder normally used to dry ink. The powder otherwise interferes with coating applied to printed material to provide a durable surface such as on magazine covers and colored posters. If the powder is not either wiped off or crushed before the coating is applied, the result is the formation of bumps of agglomerations which make the coating surface rough and interferes with the desired glossy surface.
