Patent number: 10797421Abstract: A reader suitable for reading data from a printed memory device attached to a curved surface includes a flexible wiring assembly that can be repositioned from a first position having a first profile into a second position having a second profile. In the first position, electrical contacts of the reader do not electrically couple with contact pads of the printed memory device, while in the second position the electrical contacts of the reader electrically couple to the contact pads of the printed memory. In one implementation, the flexible wiring assembly includes a flexible underlayer that supports the plurality of electrical contacts. In another implementation, the flexible wiring assembly includes a rigid first portion and a rigid second portion that pivot about a pivot point.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2018Date of Patent: October 6, 2020Assignee: XEROX CORPORATIONInventors: Michael A. Doody, Jeffrey M. Fowler

Patent number: 10319415Abstract: A grid connector for communicating with a printed memory includes a substrate and a plurality of first conductive pads coupled to the substrate. Each of the first conductive pads protrudes outward with respect to an outer surface of the substrate. A subset of the first conductive pads is configured to contact a second conductive pad of the printed memory, regardless of an orientation of the printed memory with respect to the grid connector as long as the second conductive pad is within a boundary of the first conductive pads.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2017Date of Patent: June 11, 2019Assignee: XEROX CORPORATIONInventors: Michael A. Doody, Karl E. Kurz

Patent number: 9934415Abstract: A portable reader for performing an operation on an integrated circuit (IC) such as a printed memory. The portable reader comprises a body and a transparent head. The head is sufficiently transparent that the IC is visible through the transparent head. By detecting the IC through the transparent head, the portable reader may be aligned with the IC, and a contact module on the portable reader may be aligned and electrically coupled with contact pads on the IC.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2017Date of Patent: April 3, 2018Assignee: XEROX CORPORATIONInventors: Jeffrey M.

Publication number: 20140051068Abstract: The invention herein disclosed provides for devices and methods that can detect and control an individual polymer in a mixture is acted upon by another compound, for example, an enzyme, in a nanopore. Of particular note is the stability of the system in a saline medium and to detect individual nucleotide bases in a polynucleotide in real time and which may be used to sequence DNA for many hours without change of reagents. The invention is of particular use in the fields of forensic biology, molecular biology, structural biology, cell biology, molecular switches, molecular circuits, and molecular computational devices, and the manufacture thereof.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 7, 2011Publication date: February 20, 2014Applicant: The Regents of the University of CaliforniaInventors: Gerald Maxwell Cherf, Kathy R.

Patent number: 8588650Abstract: Two thick film charging devices or a common thick film charge device with two separated obverse conductors, sharing a common power supply are used for photoreceptor charge and erase. The thick film charging devices use a set of AC biased electrodes supported on a dielectric material which also support a counter electrode on an opposite side of the dielectric. A DC offset applied to the counter electrodes is used to set photoreceptor charge level. One DC voltage is used for photoreceptor charge and a zero or near zero DC voltage is used to erase residual charge for the photoreceptor.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2011Date of Patent: November 19, 2013Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Gerald F Daloia, Michael A Doody

Patent number: 8494401Abstract: An Active Ozone Scrubber includes a low profile thick film device. The low profile thick film device is composed of films layered upon each other and built on a ceramic substrate. Each layer is screened upon the next with the active elements strategically placed in order to develop corona when energized. When activated, the corona developed within the channels of the upper layer creates heat and accelerates the chemical reaction with the ozone, thereby reducing the amount of ozone generated by a conventional charge/discharge system before it is exhausted by a machine into the environment.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2011Date of Patent: July 23, 2013Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Michael A Doody, Gerald F Daloia, Heiko Rommelmann

Patent number: 8478173Abstract: A limited ozone generator transfer device includes a ceramic substrate having conducting lines, a dielectric layer, and a top conducting layer with slots therein that align with the underlying conducting lines. Corona is generated in the slots by applying an AC voltage of about 2.5 kVp-p across the electrodes. This device is “green” in that it generates significantly less ozone than conventional transfer devices, thus reducing requirements on an ozone collection system.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2011Date of Patent: July 2, 2013Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Gerald F Daloia, Michael A Doody, Daniel Barroso
