Patent number: 9782966Abstract: Systems and methods for pre-aligning print head(s) to alignment adapter(s) to increase print resolution of printed matter, and to reduce offline time of a printing system due to print head alignment, include the use of an alignment adapter to which a print head is pre-aligned and which includes precision alignment features which precisely engage cooperating precision alignment features on the print head carriage mounting plate of the print head carriage. Print head(s) can be pre-aligned and fine-tuned to alignment adapter(s) even while the printing system is still in print production. Pre-aligned print head/alignment adapter assemblies can then be quickly mounted on the print head carriage using the cooperating precision alignment features of the adapter and print head carriage mounting plate. Duplicate sets of print head mounting sockets can include print heads aligned at different relative offsets (e.g., half a pixel) to increase the print resolution.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2016Date of Patent: October 10, 2017Assignee: CIMPRESS SCHWEIZ GMBHInventors: Jean-Michel Moreau, Harald Feistenauer, Hung Viet Ngo, Patrick Stepanek

Patent number: 6381917Abstract: A lift door panel which, apart from a good sound and vibration damping with a high degree of rigidity, is producible to be largely distortion-free, wherein a warping in the case of fire and under high heat effect is reduced or avoided. The door panel has a front and back wall which are connected together by a first connection which is releasable under the action of heat and has at least a second heat-resistant connection.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2000Date of Patent: May 7, 2002Assignee: Inventio AGInventors: Frank Thielow, Harald Feistenauer

Patent number: 5018399Abstract: A wedge-type mechanical servomotor has a primary member (1) with wedge faces (10) on which roll bodies (7) may move. The roll bodies (7) also engage faces (8) on abutment (9). Further roll bodies (17) engage cooperating wedge faces (16) on abutment (9) and (18) on secondary output member (19), and other roll bodies (5) engage cooperating faces (13) on abutment (9) and (14) on bushing (26), so that the device achieves essentially pure rolling movement of the roll bodies (5,7,17) which move between all faces on abutment (9) and faces (10, 14, 18) opposite to these faces (8, 13, 16) and supporting the roll bodies (5, 7, 17).Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 1989Date of Patent: May 28, 1991Assignee: Firma Saurer-Allma GmbHInventors: Harry L.
