Abstract: One embodiment is a remote display system. Embodiments include a liquid-crystal display (“LCD”), an outer surface that forms a gap between the outer surface and the LCD, a light sensor disposed within the gap and covering a portion of the LCD, and a flexible printed circuit board (“PCB”) that couples the light sensor to a server.

Abstract: One embodiment is a point of sale system that includes a head unit and an input output (I/O) unit coupled to the head unit and coupled to a network. The I/O unit includes a first controller adapted to, in response to a wake up event received from the network, generating a wake up message and transmitting the wake up message to the head unit. The head unit includes a second controller and a processor, the second controller adapted to receive the wake up message and in response generate a power on signal to the processor.

Abstract: A printer fluid management module is disclosed that includes a first jet writing fluid vessel having a first end in which a fluid opening is defined, and a first utility fluid vessel having a first end in which a fluid opening is defined. The first jet writing fluid vessel and the first utility fluid vessel are part of a unitary assembly.

Abstract: An ink pen assembly of a continuous ink jet printer includes a printhead nest and an ink pen cartridge removably received within the nest. The cartridge includes a pen body in electrical communication with the printhead nest, and a nozzle body in fluid communication with the printhead nest. A charge electrode charges ink drops breaking off from ink jetted from an outlet of the nozzle body. A deflection electrode deflects the charged ink drops along an axis substantially transverse to a direction of travel of a substrate being printed. An ink block mount includes an ink blocking element for diverting deflected ink drops. An ink block actuator pivots with respect to the pen body to adjust the position of the ink blocking element. The printhead nest defines at least four ink outlets for delivering different colored inks, and at least four ink pen cartridges are removably received by the printhead nest.

Abstract: A large document scanner has a transparent top plate glass plate large enough to support an E size drawing. The base of the cabinet supports a trapezoidal mirror tilted up from the bottom with the larger parallel side above the bottom. The image of a document on the transparent plate is reflected by the trapezoidal mirror to a digital imaging camera system having a mechanically displaced electronically scanned array located inside the cabinet to the side. Tubular lamps located adjacent to bowed out upper sides between upper and lower planar reflectors illuminate the document on the transparent top glass plate.
