The sensor unit has at least one sensor which is at least one electrically conductive conductor bar (5) which is transverse with respect to the direction of movement of a magnetic field of the component (1). The relative movement between the magnetic field and the conductor bar (5) produces a voltage at said conductor bar, which voltage can be supplied to evaluation electronics (4).

Abstract: A liquid ejection head includes a first ejection opening group in which a plurality of ejection openings that eject a particular kind of liquid onto a print medium are arranged in a predetermined direction, and a second ejection opening group that is provided along the first ejection opening group to eject the particular kind of liquid onto the print medium. The first ejection opening group is provided upstream of the second ejection opening group with respect to a relative moving direction between the print head and the liquid ejection head. The plurality of ejection openings included in the first ejection opening group are disposed in the predetermined direction in a zigzag shape, and the liquid ejected from the ejection openings adjacent to each other in the predetermined direction come in contact with each other on the print medium.

Abstract: In a transfer station of a toner-based print group, the counter-pressure roller can be arranged offset from the print image roller. For example, a rotation axis of the counter-pressure roller is arranged after a rotation axis of the print image roller in the transport direction. The counter-pressure roller and print image roller can cooperatively create a nip, where the in a runout region of the nip, the contact of the recording medium with the print image roller is ends while the recording medium remains in contact with the counter-pressure roller.

Abstract: In a method to adjust print quality of print images in an electrophoretic digital printer with at least one print group, the print group generates charge images of the print images. The charge images are developed with a developer station into toner images using liquid developer having carrier fluid and toner. The toner images are transfer-printed onto a carrier medium in a transfer station. A first control marking is generated on the recording medium with elements of the first control marking being aligned transverse to a printing direction. A shape of the elements of the first control marking is measured to generate a first measurement signal. The first measurement signal is compared with a predetermined nominal value, and given a difference, an adjustment signal is generated via which an amount of the carrier fluid in the liquid developer is modified so that the first measurement signal approaches the predetermined nominal value.

Abstract: In a method to control a color printer or color copier, a color separation of a first color and a color separation of a second color are applied to a printing substrate to generate a print image. Also, with aid of a printing unit, at least a first control field is printed on the printing substrate. The first control field has a predetermined pattern that includes at least the first color and the second color and is designed such that a color value of the first control field changes depending on a registration error between the first and the second color separations. A reference field is also printed on the printing substrate, a pattern of the reference field being predetermined such that it has a same color value independent of the registration error. The color value of the first control field is measured with a color value sensor. The color value of the reference field is also measured with the color value sensor and a desired color value is determined depending on the color value of the reference field.

Abstract: In an embodiment of the invention, analytical data may be extracted from a business intelligence (BI) system on criteria specified in metadata of a business intelligence query. Once the data is extracted from the BI system, the extracted content may be provided in the context of semantic identifiers. In an embodiment, the semantic identifiers may provide a description of the extracted content associated with the identifier. In one embodiment, the semantic identifiers may be obtained from the criteria specified in the query. In another embodiment, the semantic identifiers may be defined in and obtained from a separate enterprise service repository. In an embodiment, a proposed mapping between query elements and semantic identifiers may be suggested by a processor.

Abstract: In a method to convert color-describing input print data suitable for graphical output with aid of an output apparatus into color-describing output print data, color proportions, defined by the input print data, of at least one region to be inked with at least two color separations, are determined, and a color space value to be generated with aid of the color separations is determined. An association rule is determined to convert the input print data into the output print data while retaining the color space value. A total areal coverage of areal coverages defined by the output print data of the color separations to generate the color space value is reduced relative to areal coverages of the color separations defined by the input print data. The input print data is converted into the output print data with aid of the determined association rule.
