  • System and method for characterizing fuser stripping performance
    Patent number: 7283777
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are several embodiments to facilitate the characterization of fuser stripping performance. Recognizing that the characteristics of a substrate exiting a fusing nip are indicative of the operation of the nip and the stripping operation itself, several contact and non-contact sensing methods are described to detect or predict degraded stripping performance, thereby permitting one or more compensation techniques to be employed, or to identify the need for fuser subsystem replacement.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 31, 2006
    Date of Patent: October 16, 2007
    Assignee: Xerox Corporation
    Inventors: Steven M. Russel, Mansour Messalti, Jeremy Christopher deJong, Anthony S. Condello, Daniel James McVeigh, Donald M. Bott, James Joseph Padula

  • Photographic cassette
    Patent number: 4980903
    Abstract: A light shield for an x-ray film sheet cassette is provided with increased flexibility in its end portions to prevent bowing of the shield when it is subjected to abnormal forces in its center portion. This is accomplished by notching the front lip of the light shield in the end portions of the shield.
