  • Spatially selective heating of intermediate transfer member
    Patent number: 10859949
    Abstract: In an example, an apparatus is described that includes a photosensitive imaging plate, an intermediate transfer member, and a heating unit. The photosensitive imaging plate attracts a layer of printing fluid. The intermediate transfer member contacts the photosensitive imaging plate and receives the layer of printing fluid from the photosensitive imaging plate. The heating unit includes an array of individually addressable heating elements and heats the intermediate transfer member in a manner that is spatially selective along two axes: a first axis in a direction of a width of the intermediate transfer member and a second axis in a direction of a rotation of the intermediate transfer member.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 28, 2019
    Date of Patent: December 8, 2020
    Assignee: HP Indigo B.V.
    Inventors: Shai Lior, Mark Sandler, Peter Nedelin, Guy Hamou

  • Identification value of a rotatable element having a plurality of mirror facets
    Patent number: 9500859
    Abstract: A method determines an identification value of a rotatable element having a plurality of mirror facets. The identification value is determined based on a facet scan duration obtained of the mirror facets or based on a prismatic error of the mirror facets.
