  • Patent number: 11357127
    Abstract: A plenum for processing one or more byproducts output from a generator, and systems and methods thereof, can have the plenum in the form of a hollow elongate rectangular box having a first end and a second end opposite the first end. The plenum can have a frame and a sidewall fixed to the frame, and can be adapted to be oriented vertically when operatively coupled to receive the one or more byproducts from the generator. The sidewall can include an opening adapted to receive heated air from the generator as one of the byproducts from the generator.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 16, 2020
    Date of Patent: June 7, 2022
    Assignee: Caterpillar Inc.

  • Patent number: 6335978
    Abstract: A method and system for verifying the intended imaging produced by a printer allow this task to be accomplished in essentially real-time, and utilizing relatively inexpensive, and high speed (e.g. about 200 feet per minute or greater) components. A computer control commands a raster image processor (RIP) to generate electronic print data (e.g. a bitmap) that is sent to an electronic digital printer (such as an inkjet cartridge array) and also to a print monitor. The printer images the bitmap onto a web or sheet, then a linear digital photosensor (e.g. photodiode) array scans essentially every pixel across the width of the web or sheet image area and transmits the scanned data to the print monitor system, which compares it to the bitmap produced by the RIP.
