20140270602 | Disc and Spring Isolation Bearing - The disclosed seismic isolation bearing includes an upper base plate, a lower base plate, a disc bearing core, and at least one shear spring. The upper and lower base plates each have an upper surface and a lower surface. The disc bearing core is centrally positioned with respect to the planes of the upper and lower base plates and is in contact with the lower surface of the upper base plate and the upper surface of the lower base plate, where the disc bearing core allows the lower surface of the upper base plate to slide along the disc bearing core. The shear spring is coupled to the lower surface of the upper base plate and the upper surface of the lower base plate, deforms in shear upon lateral movement of the upper base plate relative to the lower base plate, and exerts a lateral return force on the upper base plate when laterally displaced. | 09-18-2014 |

20120330954 | System And Method For Implementing A Scalable Data Storage Service - A system that implements a scalable data storage service may maintain tables in a non-relational data store on behalf of clients. The system may provide a Web services interface through which service requests are received, and an API usable to request that a table be created, deleted, or described; that an item be stored, retrieved, deleted, or its attributes modified; or that a table be queried (or scanned) with filtered items and/or their attributes returned. An asynchronous workflow may be invoked to create or delete a table. Items stored in tables may be partitioned and indexed using a simple or composite primary key. The system may not impose pre-defined limits on table size, and may employ a flexible schema. The service may provide a best-effort or committed throughput model. The system may automatically scale and/or re-partition tables in response to detecting workload changes, node failures, or other conditions or anomalies. | 12-27-2012 |

20150210488 | AUTOMATIC TRAY SWITCHING FOR CONTINUED MARKING AFTER MEDIA TRAY MISFEED - An auto tray switching method that is invoked when a misfeed occurs includes automatically switching to a different paper tray that has appropriate paper stock to continue a job. | 07-30-2015 |
20150227332 | DETECTION OF A FLOATING SIGNATURE ON A SIGNATURE PAGE OF AN ELECTRONIC DOCUMENT PRIOR TO PRINTING - Disclosed are devices, including both a front-end computerized device used to submit a print job and a printing device receiving a print job, that can detect a floating signature on the signature page of an electronic document in the print job and can halt printing of that print job until further action is taken by a user. The devices can apply a set of heuristics to analyze the electronic document in order to determine whether it has a signature page and, if so, whether the signature page contains a floating signature. When a floating signature is detected, the device can notify a user and can preclude printing of the print job until such time as a response to the notification is received. Also disclosed herein are associated methods for detecting a floating signature and for halting printing of a print job until further action is taken. | 08-13-2015 |
20150277335 | AUTOMATIC TRAY SWITCHING FOR CONTINUED MARKING AFTER MEDIA TRAY MISFEED - An auto tray switching method that is invoked when a misfeed occurs includes automatically switching to a different paper tray that has appropriate paper stock to continue a job.

20150153695 | PRINT BOOST - A method of printing is provided comprising: assigning a first set of image performance parameters from a plurality of image performance parameters to an associated image job; communicating the initially assigned first set of image performance parameters of the associated image job to an image marking engine; determining a queue of other image jobs assigned to the image marking engine, wherein the other image jobs are queued before the associated image job; and, assigning a second set of image performance parameters to the associated image job. The second set of image performance parameters can alter the first set of image performance parameters. The altering of the first set of image performance parameters to the second set of image performance parameters reduces a print duration to complete printing of the associated image job. The altering can further include reordering the queue of print jobs. | 06-04-2015 |
20150212573 | STORING PRINT JOBS RECEIVED DURING SLEEP MODE - Methods and devices automatically and regularly transition a printing apparatus between a full-on power mode and a full-sleep power mode based on a previously established sleep mode schedule. Such methods and devices also automatically and regularly maintain the printing apparatus in the full-sleep power mode during a previously scheduled sleep mode interval except in response to the communications port receiving a received print job. Then, in response to the communications port receiving the received print job during the previously scheduled sleep mode interval, the methods and devices herein automatically transition from the full-sleep power mode to the second sleep power mode, automatically store the received print job in the non-transitory storage medium while in the second sleep power mode, and automatically return to the full-sleep power mode after completing the process of storing the received print job (without transitioning to the full-on power mode). | 07-30-2015 |
