Abstract: This printing system reproduces an image on various-sized surfaces by means of multi-positional sensors which automatically identify the printers' positions as they move on the surface to be printed. The printing system reproduces the image by selectively firing one or more printers at those positions corresponding to the original image. In case the surface to be printed is larger than one multi-positional sensor frame, the print image is divided into multiple subdivisions whose individual size is slightly smaller than the sensor frame. Upon completing a subdivision, the user moves the sensor frame to the next subdivision and repeats the steps until the entire surface is printed. Printing an image on a large-sized uneven print surface is now possible due to independent printing in any subdivision, free movement of the sensor frame from subdivision to subdivision and independent control of each printer.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to an integrated compact fluorescent reflector flat panel lamp. In one aspect, an integrated compact fluorescent reflector flat panel lamp is provided. The integrated compact fluorescent reflector flat panel lamp includes a housing, a flat panel lamp portion disposed in the upper part of the housing, lamp circuitry/ballast disposed in the lower part of the housing and a screw type base.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to a fluorescent flat panel lamp. In one aspect, a flat panel lamp is provided. The flat panel lamp includes a substantially flat glass plate. The flat panel lamp further includes a formed plate attached to the substantially flat glass plate. The glass plates are hermetically sealed and define a channel. The channel is configured to hold gas and mercury. The flat panel lamp further includes an electrode at each end of the channel, wherein a ratio of the active area of the channel to a surface area of the electrode is less than 10.
