  • Publication number: 20250249619
    Abstract: Described herein are examples of a perforating device for perforating a textile material, such as carpet or textile underlayment. In an example, the perforating device includes a multi-blade assembly rotationally driven by a motor. The blade assembly can be coupled to a rotary shaft such that the blades rotate with the shaft. The blades can include alternating teeth and gaps on their outer edges to create a plurality of parallel perforated cuts. Spacers can be positioned between the blades to separate them a predetermined distance. An anvil can be positioned below and adjacent the blade edges such that the teeth of the blades touch or nearly touch the anvil surface. The perforating cuts produce a textile that can be customized in terms of its size and shape at an installation site by hand, and without the need for any specialized tools or equipment.

  • Publication number: 20250249683
    Abstract: Techniques are described for maintaining a DOD print head in a print mechanism of a card or passport personalization system, where the DOD print head prints using ink that is difficult to handle and dispose of in an unaltered form of the ink. A maintenance ejection of waste ink is performed. The waste ink is then altered, for example by curing in the case of a radiation curable ink, while the waste ink is within the card or passport personalization system. This makes the waste ink easier to handle and dispose of.

  • Publication number: 20250249695
    Abstract: A tape printing apparatus is configured to, in response to a detector outputting a first detection value, control a feed mechanism to feed the printing tape by a first distance in one of a first feed direction and a second feed direction, and to, depending on whether a post-feed output, which is an output of the detector after the printing tape is fed by the first distance, is the first detection value, perform an output determination for determining whether the first detection value output before the printing tape is fed by the first distance is an output due to a detection target portion being located at the detection position.

  • Publication number: 20250249705
    Abstract: A wheel includes a boss, a rim, and a web. The rim includes a tread and a flange. A center of the boss in an axial direction of the wheel is disposed closer to the flange than a center of the rim in the axial direction. The web has a plate-thickness center line having a linear shape when the wheel is viewed in a longitudinal section. In a case where an angle formed by the plate-thickness center line with the axial direction is taken as ?, a distance in the axial direction from a side face of the rim to an outer end of the plate-thickness center line is taken as Pw, a length of the rim in the axial direction is taken as Wr, and Pw/Wr is taken as L, the wheel satisfies L?0.053??3.8626, where the angle ? is 90° or less.

  • Publication number: 20250249706
    Abstract: A wheel rim having a reinforcement structure is disclosed. The wheel rim has two connected side walls and a connecting wall. An outer peripheral edge is connected to each side wall. Either end of the connecting wall is connected to a connecting edge. The outer peripheral edge intersects the connecting edge. A joint portion is formed at an intersection of the connecting wall and the connecting edge. The joint portion is spaced from the corresponding side wall. A reinforcement edge is connected between each side wall and the connecting wall. A hollow support region is enclosed by the corresponding side wall, the outer peripheral edge, the connecting edge, the connecting wall and the reinforcement edge. The joint portion and the side wall do not concentrate external force on the side wall, thereby achieving the effect of reducing the external force acting on the wheel rim and dispersing the force.

  • Publication number: 20250249709
    Abstract: Systems and methods of tire monitor auto location are disclosed. A tire pressure monitoring system generates output signals to communicate with tire monitors mounted on tires of a vehicle. Times associated with return signals responsive to the output signals are used to determine a distance of the tire monitors and/or an angular displacement of the tire monitors. Using these techniques, monitors may be located without the need for vehicle operation. In other examples, accelerometers and/or contact patch measurements can be used to auto-locate tire monitors, e.g., while the vehicle is in operation.
