  • Patent number: 6950617
    Abstract: Systems and methods for replacing a spool cover attached to a spool casing of a laser toner cartridge. When installed on the laser toner cartridge, the spool cover covers a spool and seal sensing contacts located above an electrical trace. A method of replacing the spool cover includes separating the spool cover from the spool casing, replacing the electrical trace with a new electrical trace, attaching a pad to a bottom surface of the spool cover, and replacing the spool cover on the spool casing such that the pad forces the seal sensing contacts to come in contact with the electrical trace.

  • Patent number: 6754460
    Abstract: A method of remanufacturing a new style toner cartridge which has a toner cartridge/developer roller/waste bin sub assembly covered by a first and second end cap. The method includes removing the first and second end cap using a cutting tool and template, removing the existing seal from the toner hopper, replacing it with a new seal assembly that connects the toner hopper to the developer roller housing, reattaching the waste bin, and then reattaching the end caps with quick disconnect clips or clamps.

  • Patent number: 5999410
    Abstract: A flexible circuit board includes a plurality of discrete circuits for use with different types of rechargeable battery packs. Conductive traces formed on the circuit board include gaps which cause certain portions of the circuitry to be disconnected from the circuit rendering that portion of the circuit inactive. The process of bridging the gaps by attaching one or more components over the gaps causes the corresponding inactive portion of the circuit to be activated. By selectively activating certain portions of the circuit, a desired result is obtained.
