  • Publication number: 20260054292
    Abstract: Methods for cleaning and/or coating a printer's cutting blade, and optionally other components of a cutting mechanism, in printers such as label printers. The method involves providing a substrate made of porous material treated with a treatment solution, inserting the substrate into the printer's transport path, and activating the printer to extend and retract the cutting blade to contact the substrate. This process removes and/or reduces adhesive buildup, thereby prolonging the printer's operational efficiency. Various embodiments include pre-saturated substrates, multi-layer substrates with absorbent and abrasive layers, and heated substrates for enhanced cleaning. This method simplifies maintenance, reduces printer downtime, and helps to ensure consistent printing quality.

  • Patent number: 9438091
    Abstract: A permanent magnet machine includes two stationary stators and a rotating rotor. Electromagnetic fields occurring in one stator are displaced by an angle of thirty electrical degrees with respect to electromagnetic fields occurring in the other stator due to currents fed to the stators.

  • Patent number: 8643208
    Abstract: A method for arranging magnets of a rotor or stator of an electrical machine is provided. In this method a number of performance parameters of the electrical machine are identified. A plurality of neighboring magnets are assigned to a magnet group. The magnet group includes a reference magnet and at least one further magnet. Further, a number of distinct magnet arrangement variables for the magnet group are identified, such that the number of arrangement variables is equal to the number of performance parameters. A value of an arrangement variable is calculated according to a desired adjustment of a performance parameter. Based on the calculated arrangement variable, an arrangement is determined for one of the at least one further magnet of the magnet group relative to the reference magnet of that magnet group.

  • Patent number: 8000171
    Abstract: An example of a cable positioning mechanism for directing a cable into a seismic sensor housing for connection with the seismic sensor includes a member sized to connect with a seismic sensor housing, the cable passing through the member at opposing anchor points for operational connection to the seismic sensor between the anchor points, wherein the cable is oriented through the member at an angle that is not perpendicular to a vertical axis of the sensor housing.
