Abstract: A beverage dispensing apparatus having a height-adjustable support member for supporting a beverage vessel at a plurality of different support positions. The beverage dispensing apparatus may include a beverage dispensing outlet for dispensing a beverage and a movable support member having a top surface for supporting a beverage vessel below the beverage dispensing outlet. The movable support member may include an inner telescoping element and an outer telescoping element. An actuation assembly may be operably coupled to the movable support member to move the movable support member to modify a distance between the top surface of the movable support member and the beverage dispensing outlet. Activation of the actuation assembly may cause both the inner and outer telescoping elements to move simultaneously either towards or away from the beverage dispensing outlet.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to herbicidal combinations and their use in controlling plants or inhibiting plant growth. In particular, herbicidal combinations comprising pyridafol in combination with at least one further herbicide that is a HPPD-inhibitor herbicide.

Abstract: Various embodiments of an apparatus and method for lifting an imaging head are disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention is a set-top box integrated with a low-height printer. The printer includes an input tray for storing input media sheets and an output area for holding output media sheets. The printer further includes a printhead that scans and prints on the media sheets from the front to the back of the printer. The media sheets are stored in the input tray in a landscape orientation and are held in the output area in a semi-curled position. Alternatively, the media sheets are stored in the input tray in a portrait orientation.

Abstract: In accordance with one embodiment, a system comprises a print head assembly comprising a plurality of ink-ejecting nozzles and a drying station downstream of the print head assembly and configured to produce and emit air proximate a print media. A deflector is mounted between the print head assembly and the drying station and is configured to deflect an amount of the air that is produced by the drying station.

Abstract: A recyclable ink container, ink container base assembly, and a method of attaching an ink container to a recyclable ink container base are disclosed. The container and ink container base assembly may be formed of recyclable material. A locking nut and needle assembly are part of the base fixture that hold the ink container assembly in place. The needle assembly is independent of the locking nut such that the ink needle and airline properly align when the locking nut is turned.

Abstract: The present invention provides a low profile stackable Internet appliance printer for use with a television receiver and monitor and responsive to commands from a remote device for printing user desired information. The printer has a box like rectangular shaped housing conforming in size to that of conventional electronic audio video components such as cable boxes, DVD players, amplifiers, video tapes and the like to facilitate the stacking of the printer with such other components. A base member supports in a front portion of the printer a printbar and associated printheads to provide the user with easy printhead head access. The base member has an open bottom for receiving a removable combination input/output tray cassette. Upon removal of the combination input/output tray cassette, front user access is made available for the purposes of removing a paper jam should one occur.

Abstract: A displaceable print cartridge chute for an inkjet printer. The chute holding the print cartridges is displaceable from the carriage that sweeps the cartridges relative to the media during printing. The chute can be moved from a printing position engaged with the carriage to a service position adjacent a side of the printer so as to facilitate installation and removal of the cartridges through the side rather than the top of the printer. Because cartridges are serviced through the side, a printer incorporating the displaceable print cartridge chute can be stacked with other electronic equipment.

Abstract: A print cartridge receptacle assembly including a first modular print cartridge receptacle for removably receiving and supporting a single first print cartridge, a second modular print cartridge receptacle for removably receiving and supporting a single second print cartridge, a separate locking mechanism on the first and second modular print cartridge receptacles for individually locking the first and second print cartridges in the modular print receptacles, and alignment surfaces on the first and second modular print cartridge receptacles for aligning and interlocking the first modular print cartridge with the second modular print cartridge. First and second print cartridge driver circuits are mounted on the first and second modular print cartridge receptacles and electrically connected with first and second electrical interconnects.

Abstract: Disclosed is a modular print cartridge receptacle including a housing for removably receiving and supporting a single print cartridge; a locking mechanism on the housing for locking the print cartridge in the housing; and alignment surfaces on the housing for aligning and interlocking the housing with a second housing, the housing being used separately or in conjunction with a second housing.
