  • Publication number: 20230305246
    Abstract: An assembly of electronic components for reception of data using an optical fibre wherein said assembly comprises: a photodiode; a first amplifier coupled to said photodiode; a second amplifier, whose electrical behaviour is substantially identical to an electrical behaviour of said first amplifier; an impedance network comprising at least two electronic components coupled between an input of said second amplifier and a reference terminal, wherein those at least two electronic components comprise at least two impedance elements, one impedance element being capacitive and another being resistive or inductive, and wherein said at least two electronic components are adjustable under electronic control to adjust the impedance presented by said impedance network; and circuitry for creating a signal formed from a subtraction of outputs of the first and second amplifiers.

  • Patent number: 11371187
    Abstract: A press section which includes first and second press nips and at least one separate continuously revolving press belt which is routed around each press element of each press nip over a plurality of guide rollers. An upper press belt is led away from the fibrous web after the first press nip. Thereafter the fibrous web is transferred from a lower press belt of the first press nip to an upper press belt of the second press nip. The upper press belt of the second press nip wraps around a vacuum assisted guide roller. Thereafter the lower press belt of the second press nip is brought into contact with the fibrous web via a guide roller, after which the fibrous web travels to the second press nip via a guided path jointly with the two opposite upper and lower press belts of the second press nip.

  • Patent number: 8256888
    Abstract: Systems and methods of lenticular printing are disclosed. The systems and methods include an imaging device to process a lenticular image from two or more original images interlaced together. A printer of the imaging device prints the lenticular image on a substrate. A UV-cured gel deposition system of the imaging device is configured to deposit a UV-cured gel on the printed lenticular image to serve as a lenticular lens. The printing of the lenticular image and the depositing of the lenticular lens occurs concurrently to reduce the amount of manufacturing required to produce the lenticular device.

  • Publication number: 20050185222
    Abstract: A hybrid document automation system manages a hybrid printing job, such as PostScript (PS) job with a mix of color and monochrome (B/W) sheets containing variable data. The print job may contain any number of sets, each differing in size and ratio of color and B/W sheets. The system includes a color printer, a monochrome printer, a print manager, a splitter for separating color pages from monochrome pages in the print job and automatic jam recovery. A graphical user interface (GUI) may be provided to give a user/operator information on the status of the print job. The system may also include a document integrity system for insuring the correct output of the merged color and monochrome pages.

  • Publication number: 20030008100
    Abstract: A thermally insulating wall based upon a vacuum insulation technique includes two outer layers and a cavity bridged by a duct to accommodate cables or similar devices. The duct is produced by ducting bodies with flange-like inserts and is created by a material deformation on at least one of the outer layers. The material deformation at least substantially reaches the other outer layer and is linked in a vacuum tight manner with the other layer. Alternatively, both outer layers can have the material deformation.

  • Patent number: 6485122
    Abstract: A heat-insulating wall, such as a refrigerator door or housing, includes a substantially vacuum-tight outer paneling, an inner paneling, a substantially vacuum-tight connecting diaphragm formed from material having low heat conduction, a diaphragm cover formed from material having low heat conduction, and a protective profile with an opposite magnetic pole or a magnetic seal. The diaphragm is respectively vacuum-tightly connected to the inner paneling and to the outer paneling at free borders thereof. The outer paneling, the diaphragm, and the inner paneling define an evacuable cavity that is filled with an evacuable supporting material. The diaphragm cover covers at least a part of the diaphragm. The protective profile is secured one or both of the inner paneling and the outer paneling and substantially covers the diaphragm cover.

  • Publication number: 20020020118
    Abstract: A refrigerator door includes an outer paneling and an inner paneling spaced therefrom. The inner and outer panelings are made from a metallic material. Both form a transition point at their edges that receives between them a thermal insulation layer produced by foaming. A thermally insulating couple connects the edge portions of the panelings and substantially thermally uncouples the edge portions from one another.
