Patent number: 8896850Abstract: A multifunctional printer is provided. A printer chassis includes a data buffer, controller and printing assembly. The data buffer includes electronic memory storage and retrieval components. The controller is electronically interfaced with the data buffer. The controller is configured to store a digital image into the data buffer. A printing assembly is electronically interfaced with the data buffer. The printing assembly is configured to output a printed facsimile of the digital image under control of the controller in a marking material progressively deposited on a print medium. A display is provided on the chassis and is electronically interfaced with the data buffer. The display is configured to render a visualization of the digital image. The rendering of the visualization on the display excludes that portion of the digital image that has been output in the printed facsimile.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2012Date of Patent: November 25, 2014Assignee: Girling Kelly Design Group, LLCInventors: Jonas Buck, Ferdinand Johannes van Engelen

Patent number: 7826672Abstract: A system is provided that includes a device having an emissive portion, a memory, and a dictionary decompressor. The device having an emissive portion is configured to produce a patterned beam. The memory is configured to store a compressed representation of a requested dose pattern, comprising two groups of repeating pattern features, to be formed on a surface by the patterned beam. The dictionary decompressor at least partially decompresses the compressed representation. The dictionary decompressor comprises a first dictionary memory configured to store pattern data corresponding to a first group of the two groups of repeating pattern features and a second dictionary memory configured to store pattern data corresponding to a second group of the two groups of repeating pattern features. The repeating pattern features in the first group have one or more differing characteristics than the repeating pattern features in the second group. Related methods are also provided.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2009Date of Patent: November 2, 2010Assignee: ASML Netherlands B.V.Inventors: Lambertus Gerardus Maria Kessels, Patricius Aloysius Jacobus Tinnemans, Remco Johannes Van Engelen

Patent number: 7737895Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are generally related to an antenna device that includes a pass-through interface such as for a USB device. The antenna device is enclosed in a housing. The pass-through interface includes two ports. The housing is coupled to the pass-through interface body such that one of the ports is blocked by a blocking member when the housing is in a first position. The blocking member prevents impact damage to the blocked port, while also preventing dirt and dust from collecting. The blocking member is cleared from the opening of the blocked port when the housing is biased into a second position by inserting a connector. The blocking member automatically returns to the first position when the connector is removed from the port. Antenna performance is improved by automatically aligning the antenna away from the connector, which may otherwise degrade performance.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2005Date of Patent: June 15, 2010Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Russell Irvin Sanchez, Ferdinand Johannes van Engelen, Robert J. Furlow
