Abstract: Apparatus for applying a release agent to a fuser roll is constructed having a web material impregnated with the release agent. A supply reel is rotatably mounted in a housing and contains a roll of web material for dispensing into the system. The web material is extended across the fuser roll to a take-up reel. An application roller is positioned adjacent to the fuser roll on the opposite side of the web path and is biased against the web material to provide a force to insure engagement between the web and the fuser roll. The supply reel is driven to dispense the web material in a direction consistent with the tangential direction of the surface of the fuser roll.

Abstract: A display of a series line organized images is provided in which the images are spread across a plurality of linearly arranged display devices and appear to be shifting from one display device to the next. The line organized images are first formed into a two dimensional display in which the images scroll along lines directed along one dimension and are wrapped from one line to the next along the other dimension. For example, the images may represent alphanumeric characters which scroll from one end of a row to the other end and, when scrolling off one row, are wrapped to the next row. This image is then expanded so that an image line fills a display device along the other dimension. This expanded image is then applied to the display devices so that each display device receives the expanded image with a predetermined shift along the one dimension relative an immediately adjacent display device.

Abstract: A method and a fusing apparatus for producing a reduced recovery time period from a low energy-saver mode temperature back up to a high fusing temperature. The fusing apparatus includes a heating member for heating and fusing toner images onto a copy sheet; a temperature sensor mounted relative to the heating member for sensing temperature of the heating member; a source of primary power supply for supplying heating power to the heating member; a source of secondary power supply, that is less in level than the source of primary power supply, for supplying secondary heating power to the heated member; and a controller connected to the temperature sensor, and to the source of primary and the source of secondary power supplies for turning the source of primary and the source of secondary power supplies on and off responsively to the temperature sensor.

Abstract: A video moving message system in which images are shifted one pixel width at a time from one video monitor to another. The video monitors are arranged side by side and/or stacked one over the other. Row and column counters are reassigned for a video read only memory matrix so as to enable accessing of image data stored in the read only memory through these reassigned counters. The image data is read out and sent to pixels on the video monitors which correspond to the row and counter addresses in the read only memory matrix. By reassigning during each blanking interval of a video monitor, the image on the video monitor appears to shift by at least one pixel width on the video monitor. The image is scrolled from one video monitor to the next in succession.
