Publication number: 20220105696Abstract: A method includes attaching a clip array to opposing edges of a polymer thin film, the clip array having a plurality of first clips slidably disposed on a first track located proximate to a first edge of the polymer thin film and a plurality of second clips slidably disposed on a second track located proximate to a second edge of the polymer thin film, applying a positive in-plane strain to the polymer thin film along a transverse direction by increasing a distance between the first and second clips, and decreasing an inter-clip spacing amongst the first clips and amongst the second clips along a machine direction while applying the in-plane strain to form an optically anisotropic polymer thin film. During stretching, a strain rate of the thin film may be decreased and/or a temperature of the thin film may be increased.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 22, 2021Publication date: April 7, 2022Inventors: Sheng Ye, Andrew John Ouderkirk, Warren Scott Martin, Ashley Nicole Loper, Arman Boromand, Hao Mei, Christopher Yuan Ting Liao, Emma Rae Mullen

Patent number: 6132026Abstract: An inkjet printhead servicing station for an inkjet printing mechanism includes a translational pallet that carries servicing appliances, like wipers, caps and flaps. A service station frame defines a guide track that supports the pallet for translational movement in a plane substantially parallel with a printhead plane and in a direction substantially perpendicular to the scanning axis of the printhead when transported by a carriage. The frame has adjacent pallet and carriage alignment datums. The pallet has a carriage lock that secures the carriage with or without the inkjet printhead installed therein. The pallet has a rack gear that is driven with a spindle pinion gear. The service station frame has a base and a bonnet cover that define the guide track, with the pallet being sandwiched therebetween. An inkjet printing mechanism having such a service station, and a method of assembling a service station are also provided.Type: GrantFiled: July 3, 1996Date of Patent: October 17, 2000Assignee: Hewlett-Packard CompanyInventors: Bret K. Taylor, Warren Scott Martin, Allan D. Donley, Mark L. Salzer, Richard Scott Smith

Patent number: 5980018Abstract: An inkjet printhead service station for an inkjet printing mechanism includes a platform that is translationally moveable perpendicular to a scanning axis along which a carriage transports the printhead. The sliding pallet carries servicing appliances, like wipers and caps for servicing the printhead orifice plates, as well as flaps for cleaning cheek regions of the printhead adjacent the orifice plate. The pallet may be moved to expose a spittoon formed thereunder for spitting ink from the printhead. An upper bonnet portion of the service station frame has a scraper bar for removing ink residue from the wipers and flaps. An inkjet printing mechanism having such a service station, and a method of servicing an inkjet printhead are also provided.Type: GrantFiled: July 3, 1996Date of Patent: November 9, 1999Assignee: Hewlett-Packard CompanyInventors: Bret K. Taylor, Warren Scott Martin, Allan D. Donley, Mark L. Salzer, Richard Scott Smith
