Abstract: A method is disclosed. The method provides an assembly comprising a first core disposed within a housing, and replaces the first core with a second core.

Abstract: A method is provided for recycling a previously-used gear assembly that includes a portion having pair of slots. The method includes obtaining a previously-used gear assembly that has been removed from a first photosensitive drum-cylinder, inserting the portion of the gear assembly into a second drum-cylinder; positioning the portion of the gear assembly and the second drum-cylinder between a pair of moveable arms, and moving the moveable arms toward the portion of the gear assembly to couple the gear assembly to the second drum-cylinder by crimping the second drum-cylinder into the pair of slots.

Abstract: Systems, methods and structures for remanufacturing inkjet printer cartridges and inkjet printer print heads by removing the print head and adhesive holding the print head to a used inkjet printer cartridge, preparing the cartridge housing for a new print head by routing out the used print head and used adhesive to create a new mounting surface for new adhesive and a new print head, placing the adhesive and new print head on the new mounting surface, curing the adhesive and assembling a re-manufactured cartridge from the cartridge housing having a new print head positioned thereon.

Abstract: A method is disclosed. The method provides an assembly that contains a first drum-cylinder having an inner periphery surface and a drive gear assembly, wherein a portion of the drive gear assembly is in contact with the inner periphery surface, separates the drive gear assembly from the first drum-cylinder, inserts the portion of the drive gear assembly into a second drum-cylinder, and couples the drive gear assembly to the second drum-cylinder.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for disassembling a container having sections joined at sealed thermoplastic joining surfaces, such as toner cartridges, by cutting between the joined sections with a computer controlled laser beam, and the disassembled product of the method and apparatus that is suitable to be remanufactured and reassembled. The technique may be applied to other articles besides toner cartridges, such as inkjet cartridges, any container that must be opened with precision to preserve the container for reuse or to avoid damage of internal components. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract that will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.

Abstract: A system and method to replace a transfer belt of a color laser printer transfer belt assembly without replacing the entire assembly, including one or more novel holding fixtures and a method for releasing the tension on the transfer belt prior to removal of the transfer belt from the assembly, then reapplying tension to a replacement transfer belt and, optionally, replacing the motor assembly and/or the microchip that controls operation of the transfer belt assembly.

Abstract: A resealed inkjet printer cartridge and method of manufacture in which an ink cartridge is reconditioned, recharged and resealed by a process which substantially eliminates “air lock” or interruption of ink flow to the printer head due to entrained air; which provides for welding together recharged cartridge subassemblies without the use of consumable adhesive or glue; and having a keyless cap adapted for use in various keyed cartridge receptacle inkjet printers.
