  • Patent number: 11941073
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to systems, methods, and computer-readable media for selectively identifying candidate keywords for a target domain, generating keyword clusters based on the candidate keywords, and implementing the candidate keywords within published online content. In particular, systems disclosed herein generate or otherwise obtain access to a collection of keywords and value metrics descriptive of a profile of the keywords with respect to a target domain. The systems can selectively identify candidate keywords having unique value to a domain and generate keyword clusters including the keywords and associated terms. The systems described herein can further implement the keyword clusters within a structure of published content items that are linked or otherwise associated with the target domain.

  • Patent number: 10719026
    Abstract: An imaging device prints in color and monochromatically, such as black-only. It has a plurality of photoconductive drums, one each for black toner and at least one colored toner. The drums contact and rotate with an intermediate transfer member (ITM) to transfer images at a first transfer. During black-only imaging, the photoconductive drum for the black toner rotates with the ITM at process speed while the drum for the at least one colored toner rotates at less than process speed, often substantially less. The technique reduces consumption of colored toner during black-only imaging and minimizes charge build-up on the drum for the colored toner.

  • Patent number: 10684577
    Abstract: An imaging device has first image transfer from photoconductive drums to an intermediate transfer member (ITM) and second image transfer from the ITM to media. Transfer rolls oppose the drums from an opposite side of the ITM and electrically ground to a frame of the imaging device by mechanical connection. The rolls may be laterally offset from the drums. The ITM has relatively low surface and volume resistivity. An imaging subassembly may include the frame, the ITM, and the transfer rolls grounded to the frame.

  • Patent number: 10149762
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are implants and methods for filling voids in a cranium of a patient. A craniofacial implant that may be used for filling such voids may include at least first and second components each having outer and inner surfaces, the outer and inner surfaces being curved in an inferior to posterior direction and a medial to lateral direction. The first component includes a flange extending outwardly from a medial side surface thereof and the second component includes a recessed portion extending inwardly from a medial side surface thereof. The first and second components are preferably engageable to one another such that the medial side surfaces of the first and second components are adjacent one another and the flange of the first component is housed within the recessed portion of the second component.

  • Publication number: 20170212439
    Abstract: A toner composition and a method of making a toner composition wherein toner particles having an average size range of 1-25 ?m may be mixed with an extra particulate additives including large silica particles having a primary particle size in the range of 60 nm to 120 nm, medium fumed silica particles having a primary particle size in the range of 30 nm to 60 nm, antimony oxide doped tin oxide (Sb2O5 doped SnO2) coated titania conductive additive and acicular titania oxide. Optionally small silica having a primary particle size in the range of 2 nm to 20 nm may be mixed with the medium silica, large silica, titania conductive additive and the acicular titania oxide. This use of this particular set of titania and silica extra particulate additives in the toner generates less waste toner, increasing toner usage efficiency and significantly reduces toner consumption without impacting image quality and charge characteristics.

  • Patent number: 9501001
    Abstract: A device for transferring images from an image donating member to an image receiving medium comprises a substrate, at least two electrodes disposed on the substrate, and at least one layer of coating disposed on the substrate having an outer surface for forming a nip region with the image donating member. The at least two electrodes are controllable to produce an electric field and control a position thereof at the nip region to allow transfer of an image from the image donating member to the image receiving medium in an image transfer operation.
