  • Printer head cleaning system and method
    Patent number: 6871935
    Abstract: A printer head cleaning system for cleaning a printer head, such as a video inkjet printer head reduces exposure of personnel to hazardous solvent vapors by containing and evacuating evaporated cleaning solvent vapors. The printer head cleaning system includes a printer head drying fixture configured to receive a printer head in an interior of the fixture and a vapor capture device for drawing air through the fixture and past the printer head to evaporate and evacuate vapors of the cleaning solution from the printer head. The fixture includes a first end, a second end, a port for receiving the printer head, and a fluid path within the interior of the fixture from the first end to the second end which passes around the printer head when the printer head is received in the fixture.

  • Service management access point
    Patent number: 6243451
    Abstract: A flexible service management system creates, provisions, customizes, and restricts service offerings available on an intelligent network. A service creation environment has a schema query, service screen builder, and logic analyzer that cooperate to create a service screen definition. The service screen definition supports graphical user interfaces that interface with a telephony database. The service screen definition is deployed to a service management system within a service definition package, the service management system interfacing with a telephony database storing telephony data for supporting a service. The service screen definition enables a screen interpreter that can reside on a service management access point to communicate and transact data with the telephony database.
