  • Publication number: 20200326896
    Abstract: In one example, collective awareness of supplies includes several operations. A remaining level for each supply in a printer device within a fleet of printer devices is measured. A predicted usage model for each supply from a history of supply usage for printed pages over time in the printer device and other printer devices of the fleet of printer devices is calculated. A system intervention event based on the predicted usage model and remaining level for each supply in the printer device is determined. The system intervention event is communicated to a responsible party.

  • Patent number: 7021771
    Abstract: A display device projects an image alternatively onto a remote surface and a rear projection screen. The display device has a base, a projector, a rear projection screen, and a mirrored surface. The projector is affixed to the base. The rear projection screen is mounted on the base. The housing extends rearward of the rear projection screen and has an opening formed therein. The mirrored surface is angled to reflect light from the projector onto the rear projection screen. The rear projection screen and the housing are pivotal on the base. In one position, the projector is exposed for projection onto the remote surface. In another position, the projector is engaged within the opening for projection through the opening at the mirrored surface.
