  • Patent number: 11938738
    Abstract: In some examples, an apparatus can include a syringe body including an electrical interface at a side surface of the syringe body, an interface at an end of the syringe body including an output at a distal surface of the syringe body, a print material particles reservoir located in the syringe body, and a structure to adapt a volume of the print material particles reservoir to move print material particles out of the print material particles reservoir through the output, where in response to the volume adapting structure moving from a first position to a second position, a signal is transmitted by the electrical interface.

  • Patent number: 11914311
    Abstract: Examples described herein relate to a supply valve consistent with the disclosure. For instance, a supply valve to supply print particles to a receptacle, the supply valve may comprise a print particle exit, a print particle entrance perpendicular to the print particle exit, and a liner adjacent to the print particle exit, where the liner is to wipe print particles, when present, from the supply valve responsive to the transition of the supply valve between a closed position and an open position.

  • Patent number: 11549599
    Abstract: A diverter valve is provided for use in directing a flow of bulk material from a source to at least one receiver. Included in the present diverter valve is an inlet housing having an inlet port and partially defining a valve chamber, an outlet housing connected to the inlet housing, having at least one outlet port and defining an end of the valve chamber. A rotating disc is rotatably disposed in the chamber and constructed and arranged for selectively creating fluid communication between the inlet port and diverting the flow to a selected one of the at least one outlet port.

  • Patent number: 8700831
    Abstract: A method, computer system and computer program product for generating a configuration status of a computer is provided. A method for generating a configuration status of a computer includes reading a plurality of configuration items of the computer and executing a plurality of rules upon the configuration items that were read, wherein each rule comprises an if-portion including at least one configuration item and a then-portion including an action for storing a configuration status value if the at least one configuration item of the if-portion matches the configuration items that were read. The method can further includes executing an algorithm that reads each of the configuration status values that were stored responsive to executing the plurality of rules and processes the configuration status values so as to produce a final configuration status of the computer and storing a record indicating the final configuration status of the computer.

  • Patent number: 8484282
    Abstract: A high-speed content transformation method, system and apparatus. The method can include inspecting a request for transcoded content to determine input documents required to produce the requested transcoded content; determining whether the input documents have been characterized as standalone, and further determining freshness criteria for the input documents which are determined to have been characterized as standalone; locating in cache storage previously generated transcoded content corresponding to the input documents determined to have been characterized as standalone; and, serving the previously generated transcoded content in response to the request rather than generating the requested transcoded content using the input documents where the previously transcoded content meets the freshness criteria.

  • Publication number: 20050097221
    Abstract: A proxy server is provided with a plurality of prioritized proxies configured in parallel. The proxy server can include 1-to-n proxy subunits, where ā€œnā€ can vary depending on the total priority levels available for any given system. Each service (e.g., document-handling) request made to the proxy server is prioritized according to the prioritized proxy subunit that is configured to service the request, which increases the request handling response times for the higher priority requests, and thus, improves the overall performance of the proxy server involved.
