  • Patent number: 10261445
    Abstract: Examples of printing devices are described. Such printing devices may include an end cap having an engaging portion and a hook portion, a roller, and a latch unit to hold the roller in contact with the end cap when the latch unit is in a closed position. The latch unit may include a latch having a protrusion to engage with the engaging portion of the end cap, and a spring attached to the end cap and to the latch. In one example, the hook portion of the end cap is to hold the latch in a closed position in counteraction to a force provided by the spring under a tension.

  • Patent number: 10209845
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention generally provide an input device with display screens that periodically update (refresh) the screen by selectively driving electrodes corresponding to pixels in a display line. In addition to updating the display, the input device may perform capacitive sensing using the display screen as a touch area. To do this, the input device uses common electrodes for both updating the display and performing capacitive sensing, and interleaves periods of capacitive sensing between periods of updating the display lines (and pixels) based on a display frame. To avoid noise and mitigate interference during capacitive sensing, the input device may change the capacitive frame rate relative to the display frame rate based on measurements of interference. The changed capacitive frame rate may result in re-timed periods of capacitive sensing based on each display frame.

  • Patent number: 10120300
    Abstract: An example binary ink developer (BID) assembly includes a housing, a developer roller, a squeegee roller, and a guard member. The developer roller receives ink and transfers a portion of the ink to a photoconductive member. The squeegee roller rotates and regulates a film thickness of ink on the developer roller. The squeegee roller includes a curved circumference. The guard member includes a conforming end disposed across from the squeegee roller. Further, the conforming end has a concave shape corresponding to a portion of the curved circumference of the squeegee roller.

  • Patent number: 10073550
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention generally provide a processing system for a display device integrated with a capacitive sensing device. The processing system includes a driver module having driver circuitry and coupled to a sub-pixel with a first source line and a first common electrode. The driver module is configured to simultaneously update the sub-pixel by driving the first source line with a first voltage, and drive the first common electrode for capacitive sensing by modulating the first common electrode between a second voltage and a third voltage. The processing system further includes a receiver module coupled to a plurality of receiver electrodes. The receiver module is configured to receive resulting signals from the receiver electrodes while the first common electrode is modulated between the second voltage and the third voltage. The processing system further includes a determination module configured to determine positional information based on the resulting signals.
