  • Publication number: 20220339393
    Abstract: A respiratory humidification system humidifies a flow of respiratory gases supplied to a user. The system can include a main housing that receives a humidification chamber, a heating plate included in the main housing and positioned to contact the humidified chamber and transfer heat to the humidifier chamber, and a heating element that provides heat to the heating plate. The heating element can include a temperature sensor disposed in a central region of the heating element. Disposing the temperature sensor in the central region can reduce a likelihood that conductors of the heating element will cause an incorrect temperature measurement by the temperature sensor.

  • Patent number: 11295124
    Abstract: Methods, systems and computer-readable storage media for scanning a document to detect a source of the document. The document can be scanned to obtain content from the document. An automatic search of an electronic network can be then performed to determine if there is an exact match or a partial match between the content of the document and the results of search automatic search. If an exact match or a partial match is generated as a result of automatically searching the electronic network, a user can be presented with various selection options via a GUI for retrieving, viewing and printing search results of the automatic search.

  • Patent number: 10209649
    Abstract: A fuser apparatus includes fuser and pressure rolls rotatably mounted parallel to and in contact with each other to form a nip through which print media with a toner image thereon is passed to fuse the image to the print media. A heating lamp is positioned to heat the fuser roll. A mechanism is used that alters the interior of a fuser housing to harvest the excess heat emitted by the heating lamp and to reflect the excess heat back to the fuser roll at different patterns/angles dependent on the mode of the fusing and the size of print substrate being marked.

  • Patent number: 9329824
    Abstract: A system and method for determining and displaying energy saving information associated with a printing device, including a processor and a computer-readable non-transitory storage medium operably connected to the processor. The computer-readable non-transitory storage medium contains a set of instructions that, when executed, instruct the processor to determine a first energy usage by the printing device in a normal operating mode, determine at least one second energy usage for the printing device in at least one energy saving mode, compare the first energy usage and the at least one second energy usage, determine at least one energy savings based upon the comparison, and cause the at least one energy savings to be displayed.
