Publication number: 20230244859Abstract: An apparatus includes a memory and a processor. The memory stores an identification of information and a document associated with an external system. The processor receives information associated with a user, and uses the information to generate a file of a first type. The processor also receives a selection of an option to initiate automatic generation of a file of a second type by the external system. In response, the processor identifies, from the information and based on the identification of the information used by the external system, a subset of information associated with the user. The processor transmits the subset to the external system. The processor additionally presents the document to the user, determines that the user edited the document, and transmits the edited document to the external system. In response to receiving the subset and the edited document, the external system generates the file of the second type.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 2, 2022Publication date: August 3, 2023Inventors: Graham Marshall Wyllie, Adithya Gadwale, Katherine Kei-Zen Dintenfass, Stephen Thomas Shannon

Patent number: 11230109Abstract: In a continuous ink jet printer for use with pigmented ink, the entrance to the ink path (81), (35) from the interior of the ink tank (27) to the ink pump (31) is made up of a plurality of small inlet openings, which may be provided by nozzles 85 formed in a shroud 83 that fits around an ink filter (33) in the ink tank (27). The openings are provided at the bottom of the ink tank (27), close to the floor, and face parallel to the floor or at least partially towards it. If the ink pump (31) is driven in reverse, any ink in the ink path is driven at speed out through the inlet openings into the interior of the ink tank (27), followed by air. This tends to disperse pigment that may have settled to the bottom on the ink tank (27).Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2018Date of Patent: January 25, 2022Assignee: LINX PRINTING TECHNOLOGIES LTDInventors: Graham Thomas, Bryn Jones

Patent number: 11156181Abstract: A method of operating a hydrogen-fueled internal combustion engine. The engine is determined to have a mode control value, which represents a threshold torque. During operation of the engine, a demanded torque of the internal combustion engine is determined and compared to the threshold torque. If the demanded torque is less than the threshold torque, the engine is operated in a low load mode that uses spark ignition and pre-mixed combustion. If the demanded torque is greater than the threshold torque, the engine is operated in a high load mode that uses compression ignition and diffusion combustion.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 2021Date of Patent: October 26, 2021Assignee: Southwest Research InstituteInventors: Terrance Francis Alger, Thomas E. Briggs, Jr., Graham Thomas Conway
