  • Patent number: 7517039
    Abstract: The velocity of a printhead scanning across a sheet of paper or other print medium is varied on the basis of whether masking patterns for selectively activating nozzle of the printhead include activations in consecutive pixel locations of the masking pattern. The pixel locations are “firing opportunities” as defined by the maximum firing frequency assigned to the nozzles when the printhead is scanned at a particular velocity. The printhead is moved at that velocity when a masking pattern includes activation in consecutive pixel locations. On the other hand, a higher scanning velocity is available when a constraint is enforced to prevent occasions of firings in consecutive pixel locations. In one embodiment, the constraint is not enforced, but masking patterns are analyzed on a pattern-by-pattern basis to detect those patterns which satisfy the constraint, so that the scanning velocity can be increased during the suitable masking patterns.

  • Patent number: 7336049
    Abstract: A different adaptive control method is used to control a motor during each of two or more phases of motor operation. Thus, in a first phase of motor operation the motor is controlled using a first adaptive control method, in a second phase of motor operation the motor is controlled using a second adaptive control method, and so forth. The motor can be controlled in this manner in any number of phases, in which the motor is used for any of a number of corresponding purposes. The method used in each phase can be optimized to suit that type of operation without compromising operation during other phases.

  • Patent number: 5076432
    Abstract: A combination of a product and a package and point-of-purchase display unit for the product. The package and display unit includes a border section surrounding a centrally located wall section which serves as a supporting surface for the product. Retainer means which are preferably transparent are connected to the central wall section with legs defined by the retainer means being received in openings defined by the central wall section for securing the retainer means to the central wall section. The retainer means define an overlapping section located between the legs with this overlapping section being spaced from the central wall section. A corner or other part of the product being displayed is received between the surface and the overlapping section for achieving retention of the product on the surface while this part of the product remains visible when the retainer means are transparent.

  • Patent number: 4692252
    Abstract: A method of removing scale from the surfaces of a fluid treatment apparatus by directing a base solution and an acid solution through the fluid treatment apparatus. The fluid treatment apparatus cleaned by the method of the present invention is a vertical tube wet oxidation treatment apparatus in which an aqueous slurry of organic materials is oxidized in a tube which extends deep into the surface of the earth. Water rinses are performed between the steps of circulating the aqueous base solution, circulating the aqueous acid solution, and operating the fluid treatment apparatus. The water used for separating the sequential steps is preferably buffered water. The aqueous acid solution is preferably a mineral acid and most preferably nitric acid. The aqueous base solution is preferably potassium hydroxide or sodium hydroxide. The method also contemplates a sectional wash of the apparatus by directing a base or acid solution partially into the apparatus.

  • Patent number: 4215780
    Abstract: Container for books and articles of like shape formed having top, bottom, first and second side, and closure panels that are foldably connected together to form an article encompassing sleeve, end flaps created of three subpanels forming protective end cells at each end of the container, reinforcing flaps connecting to the side of each first side panel and arranged for extending into the formed air cell to reinforce it and the container's ability to resist compressive forces, and end wall panels connecting to each end of the top panel for providing closure to the end cells and the container at its ends. Reinforcing tabs are interconnected between a side of the end wall panels and the sides of the second side panel and folded to a bellows configuration for further reinforcement of the created end cells as the container is formed into its usable configuration.

  • Patent number: 4119201
    Abstract: In a container for use in protecting articles, such as books, a one piece blank is formed to incorporate a pair of main panels, one each for encompassing the upper and lower portions of the article, with said main panels having side panels that may be folded into closure, one superimposed upon the other, and adhered together, so as to form closure at least at these lateral locations; a reentry flap is foldably connected along a score line with one end of each main panel, with the reentry flap being folded into contiguity, after a 180.degree. turn against the interior wall of one of the main panels, and each said reentry flap having a second or end flap foldably connected thereto and disposed at a normal so as to provide end closures for the container.In another embodiment, one of the main panels is formed into two parts and which two parts may be folded in overlap style, one partially upon the other, so as to provide closure upon the upper portion of the enclosed article.
