  • Publication number: 20180319185
    Abstract: According to an example, a supply reel may contain a web material sheet and a take-up reel that is to pull the web material sheet from the supply reel. A static web material applicator may be positioned in a feed direction of the web material sheet from the supply reel to the take-up reel. The web material sheet may slide over the web material applicator as the web material sheet is fed from the supply reel to the take-up reel. In addition, the web material applicator may cause the web material sheet to wipe a surface of a fluid ejection device.

  • Publication number: 20180290452
    Abstract: A wiping assembly for a fluid ejection device includes a sled slidably movable relative to the fluid ejection device. The wiping assembly further includes a length of wiping material. An indicator slidably coupled to the wiping assembly is included. The indicator changes position relative to the wiping assembly and restricts movement of the wiping assembly to an initial position to indicate a level of usage of the wiping material.

  • Patent number: 10097429
    Abstract: A system and method for aggregation of test result data includes a plurality of first testing devices configured to perform testing procedures to test cables of at least one communication network and to output associated first test result data. A cloud-based server device is coupled via a network to the plurality of first testing devices. The server device includes a database configured to store the first test result data and a processor. The processor is configured to determine a statistic associated with an aggregation of the first test result data output by the plurality of first testing devices. Second test result data is then received by the processor from a second testing device so as to be compared to the determined statistic and to output an indication of a result of the comparison.

  • Publication number: 20180163828
    Abstract: A gear arrangement for a printer includes a rack and a pinion. The rack has a first end, a first tooth at the first end, and a second tooth adjacent the first tooth, with a width of the first tooth being greater than a width of the second tooth, and the pinion has a first tooth, a second tooth adjacent the first tooth, and a web between the first tooth and the second tooth, with the web to prevent engagement of the first tooth of the rack between the first tooth and the second tooth of the pinion.

  • Publication number: 20180167297
    Abstract: A test instrument provides suggested next operational step function to provide a user with assistance during testing. A display is provided to show the amount of a project that has been completed, for example as a percentage completed value. Individual test results may be saved to a ‘fix later’ list, which may be later accessed to re-test items that may not have passed on initial testing.

  • Patent number: 9959181
    Abstract: A system for providing data communication includes a computer test tool configured to perform one or more diagnostic tests on a computer network and a cloud-based server. The cloud-based server is configured to couple to the communication network so as to exchange data with the computer test tool when the computer test tool is coupled to the communication network. The cloud-based server tracks usage of the computer test tool and, based on the tracked usage, transmits a message to the computer test tool that temporarily enables the computer test tool based on a predetermined condition.

  • Publication number: 20170111258
    Abstract: A system and method for receiving a data packet in a cable network testing device from a remotely located cloud host service/device. The data packet contains selected cable test device configuration instructions. The selected device instructions, once implemented in a cable test device, configure the cable test device to perform one or more cable network testing procedures in accordance with predetermined testing parameters. The cloud host service/device contains a plurality of test device configuration instructions to be selected by a user, which user may be remote from the cable test device.

  • Patent number: 9409420
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a substrate receiving member, a fluid applicator unit, and an air recirculator assembly. The substrate receiving member may selectively receive a substrate. The fluid applicator unit may selectively eject a first set of drops to the substrate received by the substrate receiving member in a print mode and a second set of drops in a maintenance mode. The air recirculater assembly may direct air to form an air barrier across the print zone to redirect at least one of aerosol and particulates from crossing through the air barrier and onto the substrate, to filter the at least one of the aerosol and particulates to form filtered air, and to form the air barrier with the filtered air.

  • Patent number: 8899722
    Abstract: A wiping assembly includes an endless belt and a plurality of rollers about which the belt is mounted. A first roller mounts a first end of the belt adjacent a first end of a belt zone while a second roller is adjacent at an opposite, second end of the belt zone. A third roller mounts a second end of the belt and is located at an intermediate position along a first orientation between the respective first and second ends of the belt zone. The third roller is translatable along the first orientation while the first roller and the second roller are non-translatable along the first orientation. The third roller is biased toward the first end of the belt zone to apply tension on the belt.
