Abstract: A propulsion assembly includes a first torque source coupled with a first shaft and a second torque source coupled with a second shaft. A coupler selectively couples the first and second torque sources. When the first and second torque sources are coupled via the coupler, in response to a command to decouple the first torque source, an unloading operation is performed to decrease the torque output provided by the first torque source to a threshold, and when reached, the first shaft is decoupled from the coupler. When the first torque source is coupled with the coupler but the second torque source is not, in response to a command to couple the second torque source, a speed matching operation is performed to increase the speed of the second shaft to match a speed of the first shaft, and when the speeds are matched, the second shaft is coupled to the coupler.

Abstract: Current temperatures for an enclosure of a media handling device are monitored and managed using threshold temperature values. When a current temperature deviates below a threshold temperature value, commands are sent to modules of the device to start and idle their motors causing heat to be generated from current flowing to the motors. The heat radiates within the enclosure raising the current temperature. When the current temperature reaches a second threshold temperature value for the enclosure, second commands are sent to the modules of the device to stop idling their motors causing heat within the enclosure to dissipate and lowering the current temperature for the enclosure.
