  • Publication number: 20140327723
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for supplying solid-ink pellets from a container to an image-forming device. The system includes a delivery tube within the container, with one or more openings to receive solid-ink pellets from the container. An agitating structure coupled to the delivery tube disturbs the solid ink pellets. The movement of the delivery tube moves the agitating structure, resulting in disturbing the solid-ink pellets and maintaining flowability of the pellets to the image-forming device.

  • Publication number: 20070202027
    Abstract: A novel multiple stage separator (MSS) vessel is disclosed wherein the vessel includes at least first and second stages or decks of separation cyclones, the stages arranged for operation in series. Each stage or deck includes an upper and lower tube sheet on which a plurality of cyclones are installed, solid particles in the gas stream being separated from the stream and dispensed between the tube sheets as the stream passes through each stage. The vessel has an inlet to receive a gas stream containing the particulates, and the flow travels typically downwardly, first passing through the first stage, then passing through at least a second stage. When implemented downstream of a fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) unit, the MSS has been found to remove a surprisingly increased amount of particulates over a conventional third stage separator (TSS), which contains a single stage separator.

  • Publication number: 20060153582
    Abstract: A method of using toner concentration (TC) as an active actuator in the tonal reproduction curve (TRC) controller, so that not only will the TRC controller maintain the TRC of the output, but also all the electrostatic actuators will not diverge, and the toner concentration will be within the latitude range of the xerographic system. The process ensures that the target of the toner concentration (TC) sensor will be changed properly in direction (up/down) and amplitude to compensate the TRC output of the print engine based on either reflective reactance readings and/or the level of the electrostatic actuators.

  • Publication number: 20060153581
    Abstract: A method by which the target of a toner concentration (TC) sensor can be set up based on the equivalent developability concept without using an expensive patch generator. First, use a black toner area coverage (BTAC) sensor to measure the relative reflectance (RR) of a 100% area coverage developed patch (ROS generated) at a series of development levels (Vem or Vdev) to generate a pseudo development curve and estimate VdO in real-time (VdO is the Vdev level that starts to develop toner onto the photoreceptor belt.) Then, add a nominal delta Vdev to VdO to get the development level (Vdev) needed to generate 100% area coverage gray patch. Finally, using a BTAC sensor to measure the RR level of a 100% area coverage (AC) gray patch, move the target of the TC sensor, and converge the sensor's reading to the sensor's target continuously until the RR level of the gray patch hits the RR target (predefined) within the tolerance range. Thus, the target of the TC sensor is set for the xerographic system automatically.

  • Patent number: 7001900
    Abstract: The invention provides compounds of Formula I: wherein Azabicyclo is W is a six-membered heterocyclic ring system having 1–2 nitrogen atoms or a 10-membered bicyclic-six-six-fused-ring system having up to two nitrogen atoms within either or both rings, provided that no nitrogen is at a bridge of the bicyclic-six-six-fused-ring system, and further having 1–2 substitutents independently selected from R3. These compounds may be in the form of pharmaceutical salts or compositions, may be in pure enantiomeric form or racemic mixtures, and are useful in pharmaceuticals to treat diseases or conditions in which ?7 is known to be involved.
