Abstract: An example image forming apparatus includes a main body, a driving motor, a developing cartridge, and a clutch. The developing cartridge includes a toner container, a mounting portion to receive a toner refill cartridge, a toner inlet portion to connect the mounting portion to the toner container, and a toner inlet shutter to be switched between a blocking location for blocking the toner inlet portion and an inlet location for opening the toner inlet portion. The clutch is to selectively transmit a driving force of the driving motor to the toner inlet shutter.

Abstract: A printer accessory module for coupling to a printer to increase its printing capacity. The printer accessory module includes an auxiliary media module for storing and supplying printer media; and an auxiliary ink supply station for storing and supplying ink to the printer. The auxiliary ink supply station is connected to the printer by a ink delivery conduit system.

Abstract: A system for servicing a printhead having a plurality of orifices formed in a face thereof includes a cap configured to mate with the face of the printhead; a porous material provided in the cap, wherein the porous material has a first side arranged to face the face of the printhead and a second side opposite the first side; and a vacuum communicated with the cap, wherein the vacuum is configured to draw fluid from the orifices of the printhead through the porous material provided in the cap. The second side of the porous material has a recess formed therein such that the vacuum is communicated with the recess.

Abstract: The identification and security system is for an item (10) particularly a data storage disk, CD, DVD, etc. being borrowed by system user (11) from a library. The item comprises a data storage disk (16) mounted in a storage case (20). RF transponder means (25, 30) are mounted by the item (10) to provide identification data and security data with the data being readable from RF signals transmitted by the transponder means in response to external interrogation signals. The transponder means comprises a first RF transponder (25) which is a relatively smaller sized transponder, particularly an RFID transponder tag mounted in the annular space (18) between the central hole (17) and the inside diameter of the data storage area (19) of the disk (16). A relatively larger size transponder (30) provides improved detectivity due to the larger size.

Abstract: Adaptive text input modes for a mobile electronic device permit efficient entry of hybrid alpha-numeric text records, such as street addresses and calendar dates, using a keypad. Adaptive text input modes automatically toggle between different text input modes in a manner that conforms to expected formats for text records. The number of keypad inputs is thereby reduced without the need for a user of the mobile electronic device to manually toggle between text input modes when entering text records on the keypad. The adaptive text input modes may be selected based on location information.

Abstract: The present invention relates to p21 derived peptides capable of inhibiting CDK/cyclin complexes, particularly cyclins A or E/CDK2, by modifying the interaction with their substrates. The peptides are derived from a C-terminal region of p21 and display selectivity for cyclin/CDK2 inhibition over cyclin/CDK4 inhibition. Variants of such peptides particularly involving certain alanine replacements are shown to be particularly potent.

Abstract: An embodiment of the invention provides a mechanism for controlling at least one ink transmission module, which controls a supply of ink using received control rotation. The mechanism includes an input, to receive control rotation. The mechanism also includes an output, to selectively transfer the control rotation to the ink transmission module. A control system is also provided to control the selective transfer of the output. The mechanism is moveable into a disengaged configuration by the control system, in which the output does not transfer rotation of the input to the ink transmission module, by a first predetermined sequence of rotations of the input, and into an engaged configuration, in which the output transfers rotation of the input to the ink transmission module, by a second predetermined sequence of rotations of the input.
