  • Publication number: 20240123579
    Abstract: A tool for installing a rotational coupling device on a shaft, a rotational coupling device and installation tool kit, and a method of installing a rotational coupling device are provided. The coupling device includes a hub disposed about an axis of the shaft and spaced from the shaft. A bore in the hub is aligned with a bore in the shaft and receives a fastener extending through the hub bore and into the shaft bore. The tool includes a body defining an aperture having a shape complementary to a shape of the hub and defining at least one flat and an arm extending from the body in a direction perpendicular to, and away from, the axis. At least a portion of the arm is axially spaced from the hub allowing the tool to access deeply recessed hubs and prevent rotation of the device and shaft as the fastener is rotated.

  • Patent number: 11955116
    Abstract: Content is organized for brands by selecting a plurality of brand templates. After each selection, a set of properties is generated by applying a portion of settings of the respective brand template, with the remaining settings being overridden with settings for a channel communicating one of a plurality of presentations to a node of a network involved in the communication. The plurality of presentations may include different renditions of the same content. The properties may include sections configured for different focus areas and/or types of content associated with at tags to enable brand-level-targeting. Filters may be identified in the properties. Based on each of the identifications, a property from among the generated sets of properties may be selected based on comparisons with the associated tags.

  • Publication number: 20100321433
    Abstract: A pagewide array of inkjet printheads arranged to reduce nozzle offset. The row of nozzles of each printhead are formed adjacent an edge of the semiconductor chip. Each alternate printhead chip is rotated 180 degrees with regard to its neighbor, thereby reducing the nozzle offset. A smaller nozzle offset minimizes the dot displacement error should the print medium be skewed with respect to the array of printheads.

  • Publication number: 20100123758
    Abstract: A micro-fluid ejection device, such as an inkjet printhead, includes a substrate, a heater chip on the substrate, a structure on the substrate for supplying ink to the heater chip and a nozzle plate on the heater chip. The heater chip has a plurality of electrically-activatable spaced apart heater elements that can be repetitively subjected to momentary electrical activation and deactivation so as to cause cyclical heating and cooling of ink in the heater chip resulting in repetitive ejection of drops of ink by the nozzle plate on the heater chip. The device also includes a thermal control system in the heater chip being self-managed by operation of a control loop defined by the thermal control system internally of the heater chip and substrate for sensing and limiting the variation of the temperature of the substrate during cyclical operation of the heater elements of the heater chip.

  • Publication number: 20090040257
    Abstract: A thermal inkjet apparatus includes a printhead body, nozzles, ink cavities and ink supply lines. Heater resistors are in the cavities and a firing circuit is connected to provide firing pulses to the heater resistor and nucleate the ink so that it fires ink out of the nozzles. Each heater resistor is also connected to a warming circuit that supplies warming pulses, one warming pulse during each firing cycle, to warm the heater resistors but not nucleate the ink. The warming circuit includes current limiting ballast resistors to limit the current through the healer resistors and thereby prevent the warming pulse from nucleating the ink. Warming pulses and firing pulses are not generated during the same firing cycle for a particular heater resistor. One or more thermal sensors are disposed on the printhead body to sense the temperature and a control circuit responds to the sensors to generate warming pulses having desired widths to provide a desired level of warming.
