  • Method and system for monitoring a pump
    Patent number: 11413860
    Abstract: In a method for monitoring a pump arranged in a flow path to pump a fluid, the temperature of a fluid is regulated by a tempering element during the operation of the pump. The regulation of the temperature may include detecting at least one status point which is formed from an energy supplied to the tempering element and a temperature slope of the tempering element. The status point may be determined in a hazard range by checking whether the status point is located outside of a normal status range, which means that the lifespan of the pump is limited.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 1, 2021
    Date of Patent: August 16, 2022
    Assignee: Canon Production Printing Holding B.V.
    Inventors: Christoph Wüstner, Robert Pichlmeier, Oliver Grossmann, Stefan Misanovic, Nimitt Bhatt

  • Method for compensating a gear backlash and apparatus for carrying out said method
    Patent number: 7458568
    Abstract: An electrographic printer using a print web medium is provided with a web adjusting apparatus having a geared motor for adjusting the web position. A method and apparatus to compensate for backlash in the geared motor includes a sensor to detect an end position of rotation of the geared motor. A time being determined from a point of reversal of the geared motor to a decay in the sensor output indicating a gear backlash, and the time being added to the drive of the geared motor when reversing directions to adjust the web position.
