  • Patent number: 11994205
    Abstract: Systems are provided for an integrated oil shroud and pump oil pickup. In some examples, an assembly may include an oil shroud element configured to enclose a lower portion of at least one rotating gear of a gearbox, and an oil intake element with an oil filter and an oil outlet configured to couple to a pump of an oil recirculating circuit, where the oil intake element is in face-sharing contact with the oil shroud element.

  • Patent number: 10764535
    Abstract: A communication system enables users to select between individuals for tracking during video calls based on remote control input. The communication system establishes a video call session between a local client device and one or more remote client devices. The communication system uses a facial recognition algorithm to detect one or more faces from video data and obtains an identifier to each face. The communication system selects a first identifier. The communication system receives a navigation input from a remote control coupled to the communication system and, based on the input, selects a second identifier. The communication system receives an operation input and applies a center of focus of the video data to a second face corresponding to the second identifier.

  • Patent number: 10377131
    Abstract: A method of multi-color printing in a single pass using a fixed pagewide array of monochrome inkjet printheads. The printheads are aligned with each other in a media feed direction and the method includes the steps of: feeding print media along the media feed direction past a first printhead positioned furthest upstream in the array, a third printhead downstream of the first printhead and a second printhead positioned furthest downstream in the array; printing a yellow ink onto the print media using the first printhead; printing a black ink onto the print media using the third printhead; and printing a cyan or magenta ink onto the print media using the second printhead.

  • Patent number: 9944065
    Abstract: A multi-color printer has an array of monochrome fixed inkjet printheads aligned in a media feed direction. The printer includes: a first printhead positioned furthest upstream relative to the media feed direction; a second printhead positioned furthest downstream relative to the media feed direction; and a third printhead positioned between the first and second printheads. Each printhead is supplied with a respective ink from a multi-color ink set, the first printhead being supplied with a lowest luminance ink of the ink set and the third printhead being supplied with a highest luminance ink of the ink set.

  • Patent number: 9469098
    Abstract: A method of printing from a fixed inkjet printhead having a plurality of ink planes. The method includes the steps of: feeding a print medium past the printhead in a media feed direction, the media feed direction defining relative upstream and downstream sides of the printhead; printing an image onto the print medium, the image being defined by image data; and printing a keep-wet pattern onto the print medium from each ink plane of the printhead, the keep-wet pattern being defined by a plurality of dots printed at a frequency sufficient to maintain hydration of each nozzle in the printhead. A first keep-wet pattern from a first ink plane is printed at a higher frequency than a second keep-wet pattern from a second ink plane, the first ink plane being furthest upstream in the printhead.
