20080260445 | Method of controlling automatic electrostatic media sheet printing - The present disclosure describes a method of automatically controlling feeding and transporting print media sheets through plural electrostatic print engines having seamed photoreceptor belts for duplex printing. In one embodiment the second photoreceptor belt is driven at a variable speed to maintain a constant phase relationship between the respective seams of the belts. The print image magnification on the front side of the printed sheet is matched by varying the speed of the scanner (ROS) in the second engine. In another embodiment. the first and second photoreceptor belts are both driven at a constant speed and the seam phase allowed to float. Sensors provide a timing signal upon passage of the seam in each belt respectively; and, the position of the belt seams thus determined. The system then calculates a release time for each sheet from the feeder to insure the sheet avoids the seam on both belts. | 10-23-2008 |

20130201233 | System And Method For Compensating For Drift In Multiple Printheads In An Inkjet Printer - A method for calibrating in situ a plurality of printheads in an imaging device has been developed. Firing signals operate a plurality of printheads to form ink test patterns on an image receiving member. Reflectance measurements of light reflected from the test patterns and optical density measurements for a portion of the patterns formed by only one printhead in the plurality of printheads are used to adjust the firing signals and enable the printheads to print within a predetermined range about an average reflectance value and a predetermined optical density. | 08-08-2013 |
20140022323 | Spreader/Transfix System for Handling Tabbed Media Sheets During Duplex Printing in an Inkjet Printer - A method of operating a printer produces duplex images in print jobs including ink images to be printed to tabbed, hole-punched, and differently sized media sheets with improved throughput. The method synchronizes a media transport to insert a differently sized media sheet with reference to the type of media sheet, enabling the media sheet to contact a portion of the roller bearing substantially less release agent than the rest of the roller, minimizing release agent transfer to a second side of the media sheet. | 01-23-2014 |

20080266592 | Scheduling system - Described herein is a printing system comprising a plurality of print processing modules which selectively transfer print media therebetween during printing and a system controller that tracks process control protocols of each of the plurality of modules and compares to a scheduled job run and selectively alters a control variable of at least one of the process control protocols thereby preemptively altering initiation of at least one process control protocol to process the job run uninterrupted. | 10-30-2008 |
20090326863 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SENSOR PHASING USING A SUBSTRATE EDGE SIGNAL - A system and method for measuring a substrate edge signal for image sensor phasing. An intermediate transfer substrate edge signal can be effectively mapped by a substrate edge sensor and recorded for at least one complete revolution. A substrate edge signal from an inter-document zone sampled from any region of a substrate in runtime by a process sensor can also be recorded. A comparison or cross-correlation can be applied between the bare intermediate transfer substrate edge signal and the substrate edge signal sensed in the inter-document zone. A cross-correlation algorithm returns a maximum peak value when the two signals are registered in-phase with one another. This information can then be used to register the bare belt process sensor signal and the process sensor signal over the region of interest in-phase with one another. A flat-fielding algorithm can also be applied to the phase-aligned process sensor data to remove artifacts and compensate for substrate (e.g., belt) induced non-uniformities. | 12-31-2009 |

20150235050 | CONTEXT-AWARE PRIVACY METER - Technologies are presented that provide context-aware privacy metering regarding establishments, such as consumer establishments. A method of rating privacy of one or more establishments may include receiving a location designation of a user device from the user device (automatically or via user input), obtaining privacy-related information regarding one or more establishments in proximity of the location designation, and generating one or more privacy score vector algorithms for the one or more establishments based on the privacy-related information regarding the one or more establishments. The method may further include obtaining a privacy profile of the user, determining one or more privacy scores for the one or more establishments by applying the privacy profile of the user to the one or more privacy score vector algorithms. The method may further include generating and providing a privacy-related recommendation regarding a particular establishment. | 08-20-2015 |

20140020179 | X-Ray Compatible Patient Support Apparatus - A patient support apparatus, such as a stretcher, cot, bed, or the like, includes a patient support surface and a cartridge support surface positioned therebelow. The cartridge support surface supports a diagnostic imaging cartridge, such as an X-ray cartridge. The cartridge support surface includes a generally flat and smooth interior region surrounded by a peripheral region that is beveled to facilitate insertion of a cartridge between the patient and cartridge support surfaces. Handles for controlling the pivoting a portion of the patient support surface are positioned in a corner of the patient support surface where they, and their connected structures, are out of the way of the X-ray path. A joint between sections of the patient support surface is constructed to include, when the sections are flat, overlapping regions that reduce, if not eliminate, visual artifacts caused by differing amounts of X-ray absorption of the patient support apparatus. | 01-23-2014 |
