  • Patent number: 11966640
    Abstract: A method for controlling a printer includes receiving a set of first variables for the printer, determining, using a machine-learning program, one or more second variables based on the set of first variables, and controlling a printer to perform a print job based on the set of first variables and the one or more second variables. The first and second variables may correspond to different types of printer settings. The machine-learning program may determine the second variables using a classifier model that may prevent partial curing or drying, print media deformation and/or other defects.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 22, 2022
    Date of Patent: April 23, 2024

  • Patent number: 11510843
    Abstract: Walkers capable of adapting to surrounding environments, including stairs, curbs, sidewalks, and other surface or ground obstacles that have adjacent uneven surfaces. The walkers include a frame assembly having back legs, front legs, and a handlebar fixedly coupled to the back legs. Intermediate members respectively couple the front legs to the back legs and are configured for selective vertical adjustment of vertical positions of the front legs relative to the back legs and relative to at least a first surface engaged by lower ends of the back legs. After selective vertical adjustment of the vertical positions of the front legs, the front and back legs of the walker are capable of engaging and supporting the walker on the first surface engaged by the lower ends of the back legs and engaging and supporting the walker on at least a second surface engaged by lower ends of the front legs.
