  • Patent number: 12027023
    Abstract: A touchless modular containment system for delivering one or more articles to a person includes a modular frame that defines a plurality of discrete cubbies. Each cubby has a front door that is coupled to the modular frame and includes a sliding drawer assembly for controllably delivering the one or more articles to the person. The sliding drawer assembly has a base tray that is secured to the modular frame. The sliding drawer assembly has a movable traveler assembly that defines a top surface of the sliding drawer assembly and moves between a fully extended position and a fully retracted position. A front of the traveler assembly is positioned relative to and adjacent the front door such that forward driving of the traveler assembly toward the fully extended position opens the front door by the traveler assembly urging the front door open without any interaction between the person and the front door.

  • Patent number: 8959811
    Abstract: A sign holder for supporting electrified sign inserts that may vary in width, comprises a base having a groove into which the sign insert can be placed. In the preferred embodiment, two or more gaskets are positioned in the groove with each gasket including a resilient section adapted to engage the sign insert so as to retain the sign insert securely in place within the groove. Each of the gaskets also includes an electrical conductor, such as an electrical wire, which may be embedded in the gasket, in a position where it makes electrical contact with the electrical terminals on the sign insert.

  • Patent number: 7069854
    Abstract: An improved method and system for cleaning a cylinder of a printing press. One method involves soaking a strip of cleaning fabric on a press with a low volatility organic compound solvent. Excess solvent, if any, is removed to place the strip of cleaning fabric in functional equilibrium with the solvent. The cleaning fabric is then used to clean a cylinder. Alternatively, the strip of cleaning fabric is soaked on site by contacting the strip of cleaning fabric with the solvent and wrapping the strip of cleaning fabric into a cleaning fabric supply roll. The cleaning fabric is then brought in engagement with a printing press having a cylinder to be cleaned without disposing a sleeve around the fabric roll and without substantially disturbing the distribution of the solvent in the fabric roll and detrimentally affecting the cleaning ability of the fabric.

  • Patent number: 7040729
    Abstract: Systems and methods for delivering ink by controlling a pressure of the ink. A vacuum or partial vacuum is maintained at an ink reservoir that supplies ink to one or more print heads. As the temperature of the inks or of the printing system changes, the pressure of the ink experiences a corresponding change. The printing system is equipped with temperature sensors to detect the temperature of the ink, the print heads, or the printing system. The temperature data is processed and an adjustment is made to the partial vacuum maintained on the ink reservoir to accommodate changes in temperature. The temperatures are repeatedly sampled to ensure that the pressure of the partial vacuum is properly maintained for current temperatures.

  • Publication number: 20040189769
    Abstract: A printing system for drying ink deposited upon a printable medium. The system including at least one print head for directing ink onto the medium as the print head moves over the printable medium. Moving with the print head is at least one halogen lamp that generates electromagnetic radiation having a sufficient wavelength to penetrate the ink. The at least one halogen lamp may irradiate the printable medium and/or the platen, with one or both of the printable medium and the platen aiding with drying the ink deposited upon the printable medium.

  • Patent number: 6739716
    Abstract: Systems and methods for curing inks with radiation. An apparatus includes a housing that includes a pair of reflectors and/or two separate lamps of different power that direct ultraviolet radiation onto the inks being cured. The pre-cure reflector only reflects a portion of the radiation such that the inks are not fully cured. The pre-cure reflector causes the inks to change or thicken slightly such that they do not move on the media or merge with other inks while still retaining a liquid or wet nature. All colors of ink can then be placed in a single layer before the cure reflector fully cures the UV inks by reflecting sufficient UV radiation onto the single layer of UV ink.

  • Patent number: 6705711
    Abstract: A printing system includes a printing device fluidly communicating with a main ink reservoir and a vacuum pump. The main ink reservoir refills one or more reservoirs mounted within the printing device when the ink contained therein falls below a defined tolerance level. The vacuum pump varies a level of a vacuum or partial vacuum within the reservoir to maintain a pressure level at one or more nozzles of one or more print heads mounted in the printing device. Variations in the level of the vacuum or partial vacuum can be based upon the desired pressure at the nozzles, the particular volume or level of ink stored within the reservoir, and the type of ink stored within the reservoir. Through creating the vacuum or partial vacuum, the inks stored within the reservoir are degassed before being delivered to the print head.
