20090205789CELLULAR WINDOW SHADE - A window covering includes at least one pair of cell-supporting cords comprising a first support cord supporting an upper portion of each cell and a second support cord supporting a lower portion of each cell. The collapse and expansion of each cell is accomplished by the respective raising and lowering of the second support cord without movement of the first support cord.08-20-2009
20100065228WASTE-FREE METHOD OF MAKING WINDOW TREATMENTS - An apparatus and method are disclosed for forming cellular or non-cellular window shades directly from raw stock to the final desired window shade color, height and width to fit a particular window size, with essentially no wasted material. The shade is fabricated from a bonded array of a predetermined number of stacked, identically shaped and sized, elements or preforms of uniform length corresponding to one of the height or width dimensions of the desired window covering. The number of preforms is selected so that the length of the fully expanded array will correspond with the other of the height or width dimensions of the window covering. The raw stock is in the form of a continuously fed narrow strip of uncolored fabric to which the necessary coloring, folding, cutting-to-length, stacking and bonding steps are applied within the disclosed apparatus.03-18-2010

20090028640Delineating Pole Having An Anchoring Base and Spring Cartridge for Snow Based Applicaitons - An anchoring base for a delineating pole using the reconfiguration of protruding resilient mechanical members to facilitate insertion and resist the subsequent extraction force on the pole. The mechanical members extend outwards relative to the insertion rod longitudinal axis, and bend or configure upon insertion of the anchoring base, into a first position that facilitates insertion while impeding and resisting axial extraction forces, and upon subsequent rotation of the anchoring base, the mechanical members bend or reconfigure into a second position such that the extraction resistance force is significantly reduced. The anchoring base design may be used in conjunction with a spring cartridge having a plurality of interlocking members forming a rigid mechanical structure during rotation.01-29-2009
20100290834Delineating Pole Having An Anchoring Base and Spring Cartridge for Snow Based Applications - An anchoring base for a delineating pole using the reconfiguration of protruding resilient mechanical members to facilitate insertion and resist the subsequent extraction force on the pole. The mechanical members extend outwards relative to the insertion rod longitudinal axis, and bend or configure upon insertion of the anchoring base, into a first position that facilitates insertion while impeding and resisting axial extraction forces, and upon subsequent rotation of the anchoring base, the mechanical members bend or reconfigure into a second position such that the extraction resistance force is significantly reduced. The anchoring base design may be used in conjunction with a spring cartridge having a plurality of interlocking members forming a rigid mechanical structure during rotation.11-18-2010

20080211872DROPLET EJECTION APPARATUS ALIGNMENT - In one aspect, the invention features assemblies for depositing droplets on a substrate during relative motion of the assembly and the substrate along a process direction. The assemblies include a first printhead module and a second printhead module contacting the first printhead module, each of the printhead modules including a surface that includes an array of nozzles through which the printhead modules can eject fluid droplets, wherein each nozzle in the first printhead module's nozzle array is offset with respect to a corresponding nozzle in the second printhead module's nozzle array in a direction orthogonal to the process direction.09-04-2008
20100060684Jet performance - Among other things, for ink jetting, a system includes a printhead including at least 25 jets and an imaging device to capture image information for all of the jets simultaneously, the captured image information being useful in analyzing a performance of each of the jets.03-11-2010
20100220143Mitigation of Fluid Leaks - A fluid ejector head includes a die with a plurality of fluid ejector units, each fluid ejector unit comprising a pumping actuator having a drive electrode, and a manifold that contacts the first side of the die to define a module volume in fluidic communication with a drainage volume. The module volume is defined in part between the manifold and at least a portion of plurality of fluid ejector units, and the drainage volume is located apart from the fluid ejector units. The module volume, in comparison to the drainage volume, has a greater ratio of interior surface area to volume or has a greater percentage of interior surface area covered by a non-wetting coating.09-02-2010
20110007107High Speed High Resolution Fluid Ejection - The first plurality of nozzles and the second plurality of nozzles in a fluid ejection system are arranged in a plurality of nozzle pairs, each nozzle pair of the plurality of nozzle pairs including a first nozzle from the first plurality of nozzles and an associated second nozzle from the second plurality of nozzles, the first nozzle and associated second nozzle of each nozzle pair spaced apart in a second direction perpendicular to a first direction, the first direction being the direction of movement of a print media, by greater than zero and less than the pixel pitch p and spaced apart in the first direction. A controller is configured to cause the first nozzle and the second nozzle of each nozzle pair to deposit droplets at the same pixel in a line of pixels.01-13-2011
