Patent number: 10641624Abstract: An encoder includes a housing including a first set of one or more sidewalls defining a first zone, a second set of one or more sidewalls defining a second zone, and a protection partition having a first surface oriented toward the first zone and a second surface oriented toward the second zone. The protection partition has a sensor opening defined therethrough between the first zone and the second zone. A board stack assembly having a plurality of elevations is positioned such that an interface device and a first portion of a protective wire feedthrough are in the first zone and a second portion of the protective wire feedthrough extends through the sensor opening between the first zone and the second zone. The protective wire feedthrough is coupleable to a sensor device in the second zone. A cover engages the first set of one or more sidewalls to seal the first zone from an ambient environment.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2017Date of Patent: May 5, 2020Assignee: Nidec Motor CorporationInventors: Leslie Wolff, Glenn Siracki, Owen Patton

Publication number: 20070008399Abstract: A hard copy recording device for transferring images to media, the hard copy recording device including an engine, a controller, a first non-volatile memory, and a second non-volatile memory. The engine transfers images to the media in response to control signals. The controller provides the control signals to the engine based upon image data and a first non-volatile memory stores recording device system data accessible by processes executing at the controller. The second non-volatile memory stores a copy of selected portions of the recording device system data, the second non-volatile memory being detachably coupled to the hard copy recording device and capable of being coupled to a second hard copy recording device for downloading the selected portions of the recording device system data to the second hard copy recording device.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 14, 2006Publication date: January 11, 2007Applicant: CODONICS, INC.Inventors: Peter Botten, Michael Kolberg, Lawrence Srnka, Christopher Tainer, Donald Rahe, Joseph Miller, Peter Adam, Robert Colbrunn, Vladimir Dzodzo, Kevin Roach, Owen Patton, Eric Lab, Neal Somos, James Bias

Patent number: 7116343Abstract: A printer capable of transferring images to different types of media is disclosed. Media sheets of different sizes and types may be dispensed through a single input path to a print station including a printhead and a platen. The printhead is adapted for transferring images to media using either a direct thermal or dye diffusion process. A capstan roller, platen roller, picker assemblies and kicker assemblies are driven by a single motor, allowing for substantial cost and space savings. Other features are directed to improving the quality of images using the direct thermal and dye diffusion processes.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2004Date of Patent: October 3, 2006Assignee: Codonics, Inc.Inventors: Peter Botten, Michael Kolberg, Lawrence Srnka, Christopher Tainer, Donald Rahe, Joseph Miller, Peter Adam, Robert Colbrunn, Vladimir Dzodzo, Kevin Roach, Owen Patton, Eric Lab, Neal Somos, James Bias
