  • Patent number: 9878896
    Abstract: A meter for measuring the flow rate of fuel in a fuel dispenser comprises a housing with an axial bore extending therethrough and defining an inlet and an outlet. A flow indicating mechanism comprising one or more rotatable components are mounted in the axial bore of the housing and configured to rotate as fuel flows from the inlet to the outlet, wherein each rotation indicates fuel flow. A pulse generating device senses rotation of the rotatable components and generates an output signal indicative of the fuel flow. Finally, a vapor generating device is configured to generate vapor bubbles that flow through the flow indicating mechanism.

  • Publication number: 20150138292
    Abstract: A printing system includes a media transport system configured to transport a web of print media through a printing zone in a transport direction proceeding from an up-web location to a down-web location. A plurality of printheads each at least partially span the print zone along a transverse direction which is generally orthogonal to the transport direction. A media alignment detection system is positioned down-web from the media print zone generates a signal indicative of the alignment of the web of print media along the transverse direction. A transverse adjustment mechanism positioned up-web from the media print zone, the transverse adjustment mechanism is configured to enable the adjustment of the transverse position of the web of print media based upon the signal.
