  • Patent number: 6709084
    Abstract: A method for measuring a pen-to-paper spacing in an inkjet printing mechanism is provided. Firstly, a first nozzle of a printhead in the printing mechanism ejects a first ink drop onto a medium at a first ejection velocity when the printhead moves at a first moving velocity along a scanning axis and when the printhead reaches a first position along the scanning axis. Subsequently, a second nozzle of the printhead ejects a second ink drop onto the medium at a second ejection velocity when the printhead moves at a second moving velocity along the scanning axis and when the printhead reaches a second position along the scanning axis. The spacing between the two nozzles along the scanning axis and the spacing between the two positions along the scanning axis are predetermined. Then the spacing between the first and second ink drops on the medium along the scanning axis is measured.

  • Publication number: 20040012651
    Abstract: In a method for independently wiping a first and a second printhead of an inkjet printing mechanism, a first and a second wiping assembly separated from each other are provided in the printing mechanism. Furthermore, the wiping of the first printhead by the first wiper and the wiping of the second printhead by the second wiper are separately controlled.

  • Publication number: 20030223298
    Abstract: An efficient method and electronic circuit for initializing latch arrays in an electronic device including an FPGA and a memory device comprising a group of one or more data latches, each comprising a pair of cross-coupled inverting logic elements, characterized in that it includes a means for simultaneously initializing each data latch to a predetermined logic state, without requiring any additional circuit elements with any data latch for this purpose.

  • Patent number: 6619780
    Abstract: A method for servicing a printhead of an inkjet printing mechanism is provided. Firstly, a plurality of time difference information is collected by the printing mechanism. Each time difference information represents a period of time passed between end of a last print job and receipt of a succeeding print job. The print jobs are sent from a computer connected to the printing mechanism. Subsequently, the printing mechanism uses the plurality of time difference information to determine a nominal time information representing an amount of time. After the determination of the nominal time information, the printing mechanism periodically performs a first level servicing dependent upon the nominal time information.

  • Publication number: 20030145193
    Abstract: A system and method for enabling rapid partial configuration of reconfigurable devices, wherein configuration definition means define partial configuration requirements, and contain at least a starting address of configuration data for the partial reconfiguration, data size specifying the number of contiguous locations to be reconfigured, and desired configuration data corresponding to the contiguous locations. Configuration loading means provides for loading the configuration data into the reconfigurable device according to the partial configuration requirements.
