  • FIXING DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS
    Publication number: 20220317607
    Abstract: A temperature detection section is disposed opposite to a heater so as to be out of contact with the heater, and detects a temperature of the heating element. A spacer is disposed so that the heater and the temperature detection section are out of contact with each other. The spacer includes a separator that separates the temperature detection section from the heater and that has a gap through which the heat is transferred from the heater to the temperature detection section and that melts upon the temperature of the heating element increasing to a specific temperature or higher. The separator after melting fills the gap.

  • SHEET FEEDING APPARATUS AND IMAGE FORMING SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20220321722
    Abstract: A sheet feeding apparatus includes a control unit. After finishing feeding the sheet, if the sheet detection unit does not detect the sheet when the lift plate is positioned at the sheet feeding position, the control unit sets the waiting position to a lowest position. Further, if the sheet detection unit detects the sheet and if the remaining amount detection unit detects that the remaining amount of the sheets is a predetermined amount or less, the control unit sets the waiting position to a height position between the sheet feeding position and the lowest position. Further, if the sheet detection unit detects the sheet and if the remaining amount detection unit detects that the remaining amount of the sheets is more than the predetermined amount, the control unit sets the waiting position to the lowest position.

    Abstract: A color printing system includes a color management server and one or more printing devices. The color management server manages color printing resources among the printing devices. A test chart is printed at a printing device and used to capture calibration measurement data. Calibration settings are defined for the calibration measurement data. A tone reproduction curve (TRC) is generated based on the calibration measurement data and the calibration settings. The TRC is stored with the TRC settings and calibration measurement data to be used at a printing device. Various operations are performed between different TRCs. The TRC settings are edited and the TRC associated with the measurement data is updated or regenerated to reflect the edited settings. More than one TRC is updated with the new settings if it uses the measurement data.

    Abstract: A technology is described for a transportation management service. In one example, parameters can be received for transporting a load from an origin location to a destination location. In response, carriers that have available capacity to transport the load can be identified based on the parameters. Meta tags included in a strategic capacity profile defining a strategy for transporting the load can be retrieved. The strategy may be defined by the meta tags, which describe carrier attributes used to select a carrier to transport the load. The meta tags can be used to identify a set of carriers that have attributes that correspond to the meta tags and who are eligible to transport the load based on the parameters. The carrier data for the set of carriers can be provided to a user to allow a selection of one or more carriers to send tenders.
