Patent number: 10688808Abstract: A system and method for treatment of thread includes a thread printer that applies colored coatings to thread. A camera is positioned to capture images of the treated thread after it passes through an outlet of the thread printer. The system processes the images to determine whether the location of a selected segment of the treated thread corresponds to an expected location. If the actual location of the selected segment corresponds to the expected location, the system will continue instructing the thread printer to selectively apply the colored coatings to the thread according to the pattern. However, if the actual location does not correspond to the expected location, the system will modify the pattern so that thread printer adjusts the size of one or more segment to automatically account for the misalignment.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2019Date of Patent: June 23, 2020Assignees: Xerox Corporation, Palo Alto Research Center IncorporatedInventors: Warren Jackson, Naveen Chopra, Steven E.

Patent number: 10589248Abstract: One embodiment provides a chemical reactor, which can comprise a substrate for facilitating chemical reactions occurring at triple-phase boundaries. One possible substrate may further comprise a set of dynamically controllable sites and/or pixels upon which control signals may affect a desired formation of gas bubbles over an active catalytic (or other desired) solid surface in a liquid flow—wherein a chemical reaction in two or more phase boundaries may occur. In yet another embodiment, a control algorithm may send control signals to controllable sites/pixels to maximize the operation of the reactor according to a desired metric (e.g., product formation) that may input a set of sensor data to affect its control.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2019Date of Patent: March 17, 2020Assignees: Palo Alto Research Center Incorporated, Xerox CorporationInventors: Sean Doris, Warren Jackson, Naveen Chopra, Bradley Rupp, Robert Street

Patent number: 10525734Abstract: A system and method for treatment of thread includes a thread printer that applies colored coatings to thread and that passes the treated thread to a fabric weaving system. A camera is positioned to capture images of the treated thread as it is woven into a fabric in the fabric weaving system. The system processes the images to determine whether the location of a selected segment of the treated thread in the fabric corresponds to an expected location in the fabric. If the actual location of the selected segment corresponds to the expected location, the system will continue instructing the thread printer to selectively apply the colored coatings to the thread according to the pattern. However, if the actual location does not correspond to the expected location, the system will modify the pattern so that thread printer adjusts the size of a segments to automatically account for the misalignment.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2018Date of Patent: January 7, 2020Assignees: Xerox Corporation, Palo Alto Research Center IncorporatedInventors: Warren Jackson, Naveen Chopra, Steven E.
