Patent number: 10642542Abstract: A method for creating a machine-readable code for a custom cut stock is disclosed. For example, the method is executed by a processor and includes receiving information associated with the custom cut stock, creating the machine-readable code for the custom cut stock, wherein the machine-readable code contains the information and at least one system setting of a printing device, and transmitting the machine-readable code to the printing device to automatically configure the printing device for the custom cut stock.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2019Date of Patent: May 5, 2020Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Charles Dickinson, James E. Baxter, III, Valerie Parcero

Patent number: 10628092Abstract: A system for predicting one or more stock-related device settings, includes memory which stores a crowdsourcing component. The crowdsourcing component acquires reports from multiple printers in a fleet of printers. The reports each include performance data and printer attributes used when printing one of a plurality of stocks, the printer attributes including at least one device setting. A learning component learns relationships between printer settings and performance, e.g., in the form of a prediction model, based on the acquired reports. A prediction component uses the learned relationships to predict device settings for the stock for at least one of the printers in the fleet of printers and a processor, in communication with the memory, which implements the components.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2019Date of Patent: April 21, 2020Assignee: XEROX CORPORATIONInventors: Charles Dickinson, James E.

Patent number: 10599086Abstract: A system for predicting performance for a stock includes memory which stores a crowdsourcing component, which acquires reports from multiple printers in a fleet of printers. The reports include performance data and printer attributes used when printing one of a plurality of stocks. A learning component learns a prediction model, based on the acquired reports. A prediction component uses the learned prediction model to predict at least one of: whether a selected stock will perform adequately on one of the printers in the fleet of printers, an alternative to the selected stock which is predicted to perform better than the selected stock, on one of the printers in the fleet of printers, and a stock which will perform adequately on one of the printers in the fleet of printers. A processor, in communication with the memory, implements the components. An output device outputs the prediction.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2019Date of Patent: March 24, 2020Assignee: XEROX CORPORATIONInventors: Charles Dickinson, James E. Baxter

Patent number: 8028204Abstract: A method and system for performing one or more preventative maintenance functions for a data-processing apparatus. One or more notifications regarding daily maintenance functions can be generated in the form of a reminder when the data-processing apparatus begins operation. A history of the maintenance functions performed can be stored in a memory through remote data pushes. An email alert can be generated and transmitted to a user regarding incomplete maintenance functions in order to track the maintenance activities. The data-processing apparatus can be monitored in a consolidated manner and the occurrence of fault information stored and then rapidly retrieved to provide notifications indicative of such maintenance data.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2009Date of Patent: September 27, 2011Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: James E Baxter, III, Russell John Sokao

Patent number: 7983601Abstract: A toner transport apparatus for a printing system in which toner is moved from a toner container to a developer housing. The toner transport apparatus can accommodate different lengths and orientations between the toner container and the developer housing. The apparatus discloses a variable length component that expands or contracts to extend the toner transport apparatus to a desired length. The toner transport apparatus can assume unique angles per station with a gear mechanism. A flexible auger can be associated with the toner transport apparatus to move material in non-vertical positions. The toner transport apparatus with the variable length component and flexible auger would provide the ability to reuse components at a variety of positions and angles.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2008Date of Patent: July 19, 2011Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: James J. Spence, James E. Baxter, III

Patent number: 5014624Abstract: A sabot for use with a spin stabilized projectile comprises a closed front end portion having lines or strips of weakness running along sides of the sabot which meet at a front end surface of the sabot, thereby providing a continuously extending line or region of weakness across the front end surface.Preferably, the sabot front end portion has at least three, desirably four or more, lines or strips of weakness running along the length of the front end portion. These lines or strips may meet at an intersection of lines or strips at the front end surface, but they preferably meet at a front end membrane region.Discarding sabots according to the present invention are especially suitable for use with tubular projectiles. These projectiles may for example be used in training ammunition rounds which are suitable for firing from the UK 30 mm RARDEN (UK Registered Trade Mark) Gun.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 1989Date of Patent: May 14, 1991Assignee: Royal Ordnance plcInventors: James E. Baxter, Robert D. Poole

Patent number: 4882997Abstract: A tubular projectile suitable for use in training ammunition comprises a hollow tube having formed in the rear end of the tubular wall thereof a recess in which is embedded a tracer material.The projectile may be sabot launched.Constructions are described for igniting the tracer material directly or indirectly from the gases produced by burning of the main propellant charge when the projectile is fired from a gun, e.g. the RARDEN Gun of the Applicants.Example of suitable tracter materials and techniques for filling the said recess with them are also described.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 1987Date of Patent: November 28, 1989Assignee: Royal Ordnance plcInventors: James E. Baxter, Robert D. Poole
