Abstract: A fluid jet assembly for washing out material from a cavity. The fluid jet is capable of oscillating in a overlapping revolutions to ensure complete washout of the material in the cavity, preferably an energetic-containing material.

Abstract: A scanning device includes a scanning mechanism, a memory, a processing mechanism, and a scan rate adjustment mechanism. The scanning mechanism scans a media sheet having an image thereon at a variable scan rate, to yield raw data. The memory temporarily stores the raw data. The processing mechanism converts the raw data within the memory into processed data. The raw data is removed from the memory as the raw data is converted. The scan rate adjustment mechanism adjusts the variable scan rate, based on one or more of an amount of free space within the memory, a fill rate at which the raw data is filling the memory, and a removal rate at which the raw data is being removed from the memory, so that the memory does not become completely full.

Abstract: A media reproduction device has an input tray and an output tray. Commencement of a print job causes the output tray to move from a closed position to an open position. A gear attaches to the output tray, the gear being engaged with a pick transmission to move the output tray to the open position and being disengaged from the pick transmission so the output tray freely rotates while in the open position.

Abstract: Various embodiments of a system and method for picking print media are disclosed.

Abstract: Various methods and apparatus relating to a media interaction device drive system having at least one reduced dimension are disclosed.

Abstract: A media pick system includes a media support, a pick roller, disposed above media support, configured to selectively contact and pick sheets of media disposed upon the media support, and clearance means, associated with the media support, for providing contact-free clearance around the pick roller during a media out condition.

Abstract: A sheet feeder has a tray for receiving one or more media sheets. An arm is configured to pivot relative to the tray. A roller is rotatably coupled to the arm. A biasing device is coupled to the arm. The biasing device biases the arm to pivot toward the tray.

Abstract: An automatic document feeder transmission includes a single electric motor mounted on a chassis. Motor actuates a power input gear that is rotatably mounted on the chassis and has gear teeth. A swing arm, rotatably mounted to the chassis, pivots about a swing arm pivot axis through an arc of travel. Arm has central and distal ends, the latter having gear teeth formed therein. Driving and driven pinions, each having mutually intermeshing gear teeth, are rotatably mounted to the arm. Driven pinion gear teeth also intermesh with power input gear teeth. A paper stop is rotatably mounted on the chassis. A catch, disposed on the arm, is selectively engageable with a wire spring disposed adjacent portion(s) of the travel arc, wherein arm rotation is selectively stopped in one direction and allowed in an opposite direction. Arm selectively switches between three discreet feeder modes and selectively actuates the paper stop.

Abstract: Systems and methods systems and methods for orienting media for improved scan quality are disclosed. In an exemplary implementation, a method may include receiving a transparency media in a media holder, and guiding the transparency media into the media holder. The method may also include accepting the transparency media in the media holder only if the transparency media is oriented with an emulsion side facing toward an imaging surface. The method may also include self-ejecting the transparency media from the media holder if the transparency media is oriented with the emulsion side facing away from the imaging surface.

Abstract: One embodiment is an apparatus that has an input tray and an output tray. Commencement of a print job causes the output tray to move from a closed position to an open position.

Abstract: TNT and nitramines, such as RDX, are recovered from mixtures containing same. The present invention more particularly relates to the removal of such mixtures from munitions and the separation of components contained in the munitions.

Abstract: A continuous process for the separate recovery of TNT and RDX from a mixture of TNT and RDX. The mixture is introduced into a first vessel wherein TNT is separated from the RDX by use of a solvent that is effective for dissolving TNT but not RDX. The TNT in solvent is passed to a separation stage wherein the solvent is recovered a recycled to the first vessel. A slurry of RDX and water are passed to a second vessel where the water is displaced with a desensitizing agent for desensitizing RDX.

Abstract: A document backing extending in a plane is resiliently biased in a direction substantially parallel to the plane.

Abstract: Various embodiments and methods relating to a media drive are disclosed.

Abstract: Various embodiments of a system and method for picking print media are disclosed.

Abstract: A process for accessing and defusing munitions using fluid jet technology containing abrasive material and recovering the abrasive. The explosive material can also be removed from the munition casing by fluid jet technology, after the munition has been defused.
