Abstract: According to an example, a method to wind media in an output roller downstream a media advance engine comprises advancing a medium for a determined medium length, collecting a first portion of the determined medium length at a first speed by rotating the output roller in a winding direction, and collecting a second portion of the determined medium length by rotating the output roller in a winding direction at a second speed, wherein the first speed is greater than the second speed.

Abstract: A system and method for displaying a step by step interactive video includes a computing system having a processor, a memory, and a user interface. The user interface at least a display and a selector. The processor produces a video on the display of a routine having a plurality of moves. The video is segmented into a plurality of segments each having a plurality of frames of a different move of the plurality of moves. The processor further plays the plurality of frames of one of the plurality of segments and then pauses on one of the plurality of frames displaying a completed move each time the selector is activated.

Abstract: In one example in accordance with the present disclosure a device to detect media being wound around a wheel is described. The device includes a reel that collects the media and a movable arm pivotally coupled to the reel to provide tension to the media being wound around the reel. The device also includes a controller that detects media is being wound around the reel by 1) determining an angular position of the movable arm and 2) calculating, based on the angular position of the movable arm, when an output of a motor that rotates the reel is non-zero.

Abstract: Example techniques for the voice control of a printer unit are disclosed. A method includes receiving a vocal communication. The vocal communication is parsed into a text string. The text string is matched to a word having a predefined meaning. The word is converted into a printer command and the printer command is sent to the printer unit.

Abstract: Calibrating a media drive, comprising advancing media with a media drive while detecting media advances within the printer, determining an error in the media advances, and calibrating the media drive so as to at least partly compensate for the determined error.

Abstract: A method of assisting in handling a print medium on a spindle, said spindle being operatively connected with a motor, said method comprising the following steps: rotating said spindle by an outside force in a first direction when handling the print medium, said rotation generating an electromotive force in said motor in a second direction, opposite to said first direction; and causing the motor to apply a torque in said first direction, said torque being proportional to the electromotive force generated in the second direction by the rotation of the spindle.

Abstract: Moto-Auto Visor is an automobile windshield visor that is placed on the dashboard and stuck by 2 suction cups. Moto-Auto Visor helps protect the interior of the vehicle from the Sun's Ultraviolet rays and also keeps it cooler. Moto-Auto Visor is also beneficial to Handicapped Individuals that can't easily remove and install a Sunshade. Moto-Auto Visor opens and closes its shade with Rods connected to the center console, which move in a circular up and down motion. Moto-Auto Visor in its Center Console has a compartment that can store a monetary expressway device and other belongings. Moto-Auto Visor has 3 Variations called Super Deluxe, Deluxe, and Basic. The Super Deluxe can be made to operate by either of 3 ways. First, by on off switch powered by direct or alternating current, secondly by an auxiliary remote control device and third manual. the Deluxe can be made to operate by either of 2 ways, on off switch and manually. While the Basic on manually.

Abstract: An indication is received of a vacuum source level measured by a vacuum sensor in a printing device. The vacuum level is associated with a pulse-width modulation (PWM) level for a PWM controller. The measured vacuum level is compared to an expected vacuum level. The PWM level of the PWM controller is adjusted in view of the comparison to achieve a virtual PWM level.

Abstract: A media transport method includes transporting media along a media transport path by a plurality of rollers, for each of the rollers, determining a respective estimated length of advancement of the media based on at least an amount of rotation of the respective roller, and comparing the respective estimated length of advancement of the media determined for each of the rollers with each other.
