Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for predictively tracking expected print jobs. The system comprises a memory that identifies categories of print jobs, and that stores rules that indicate how often print jobs will be received at a presentation system. The system also comprises a control unit operable to identify a rule for a category of print jobs, to analyze the rule to generate a predicted schedule of print jobs expected for receipt at the presentation system, and to determine whether expected print jobs have been received at the presentation system in accordance with the schedule. The control unit is further operable to generate an alert if an expected print job has not been received at the presentation system in accordance with the schedule.

Abstract: A calibration device for a radiometer includes an integrating cavity and a honeycomb blackbody mounted to the integrating cavity. A plurality of emitters are mounted to the exterior rim of the integrating cavity for transmitting narrow band wavelengths of light into and out of the integrating cavity. A controller, selectively, activates one or more emitters to radiate a single narrow band wavelength of light during an ON period and turn OFF during another period. A plurality of reference detectors are also mounted to the exterior rim of the integrating cavity for measuring the intensity of each narrow band radiation outputted from the integrating cavity. The reference detectors are effective in determining changes in intensity output by each of the narrow band emitters from the integrating cavity. The measured changes in intensity outputted by the emitters are used to calibrate the radiometer with the changes traced back to a NIST standard.

Abstract: Systems and methods for an Automated Document Factory (ADF) system configured to print a web in a 4-up format and to handle the web with 2-up post-print equipment. One embodiment is an apparatus that includes a post-print system. The post-print system receives a web of media printed in an N-up format where N is three or more. The post-print system includes a cutting unit that cuts the web along a length to form segments. A first segment includes documents printed in a 2-up format. The post-print system also includes a 2-up handler that receives the first segment, reads an instruction printed on the first segment that includes handling information for the documents printed on the first segment, and processes the documents printed on the first segment based on the handling information.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for enhancing postal discounts. The system receives multiple print jobs, each print job assigned for printing at a different printing system. Each print job comprises mail pieces that correspond with capabilities of the assigned printing system. The system identifies mail pieces of the print jobs that have delivery addresses that are not confirmed by a mailing address database (“non-automated mail pieces”), and extracts non-automated mail pieces that may be produced at printing systems having different capabilities. Further, the system determines a threshold number of non-automated mail pieces to reach a bulk postal discount for a print job, and redistributes the extracted mail pieces across the print jobs based upon the threshold to increase the number of print jobs that reach the bulk postal discount.

Abstract: A closures mechanism for a door actuated during a fire, which causes the door to automatically close. The present invention provides a hinge with opposing hinge plates comprising a door leaf and a frame leaf each pivotal around a hinge pin and spring. A hinge spring nub is anchored within a channel having a fusible block that prevents the spring nub and tension from traveling the channel. At a predetermined temperature the fusible block ruptures causing the spring nub and spring tension to move into engagement with the door attached to the hinge door leaf thereby causing the door to close by means of the tensioned spring's kinetic energy.

Abstract: A system for measuring movement of an object includes a source of light for emitting a beam; an object for receiving the beam from the source and reflecting the beam; and a reflective optic for receiving the beam reflected from the object and again reflecting the beam at a first angle. The system also includes a receiver for receiving the reflected beam from the reflective optic. When the object moves in distance, the reflective optic reflects the beam at a second angle. The reflective optic may be replaced by an equivalent refractive optic(s). The receiver measures movement of the object, based on a difference between the first angle and the second angle. The reflective optic may include a cylindrical reflective optic, or a spherical reflective optic. The refractive optic(s) may include a plano hemispheric refractive optic, or a meniscus refractive optic. The receiver may include a quad-cell imaging system, or a focal plane array (FPA). The source of light may include a laser, or any collimated beam source.

Abstract: A photoluminescent track for an emergency lighting system comprises an elongate holder and an elongate photoluminescent insert received in a channel extending lengthwise of the holder. The insert is a push-fit in the channel and is retained by engagement of opposed inwardly directed lips at the mouth of the channel with the upper side edges of the insert so that the upper surface of the insert is exposed within the opening.
