| 20090152806 | SHEET LATERAL POSITIONING DEVICE - An apparatus for registering a sheet along a transport path, including a plurality of spaced apart sheet feeding nip sets of plural sheet feeding nips in the sheet transport path, the plural sheet feeding nips of the sheet feeding nip sets comprise plural drive wheels and plural mating idlers, steerable drive mechanism for changing the drive wheel to idler alignment to thereby transport the sheet along the paper path while imparting a lateral motion to the sheet as it is transported along the paper path. | 06-18-2009 |
| 20110049787 | DRIVE ROLL / IDLER ROLL NIP RELEASE MECHANISM - A drive roll/idler roll nip release mechanism utilizes the motor used for the drive nip, coupled with one-way clutches, to power the nip release as a sheet is handed off to a downstream nip. A drive shaft is coupled to a first one-way clutch in one direction and an idler cam shaft is coupled to a second one-way clutch in the opposite direction. This allows the idler cam shaft to be driven only when the motor is reversed, and the drive shaft to be driven only when the motor is moving forward. The one-way clutch on the drive shaft allows the drive wheels to freewheel when the motor is reversed in order to engage the nip release. Thus, the nip release is activated while the drive nip continues to rotate in the direction of sheet motion. | 03-03-2011 |

| 20090115124 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CORRECTING LATERAL POSITION ERROR - A method of removing media lateral DC position errors in a long paper path using closed loop correction is disclosed. The amount of lateral DC media shift error generated (or the lateral DC correction required) in the paper path is sensed by a CCD or full width array sensor located in the downstream paper path. In the closed loop, this information is used to energize a motorized actuator in the upstream paper path to correct for lateral DC errors in the media path. Thus, the paper is delivered to the downstream media path within specifications. | 05-07-2009 |

| 20090176523 | MULTI-TRANSCEIVER PORTABLE RADIO COMMUNICATIONS DEVICE AND RELATED METHOD - A portable radio communications device is for transmitting data and voice communications. The portable radio communications device may include a portable housing, a radio transceiver operating at a frequency in a range of 30 MHz-3000 MHz and being carried by the portable housing for direct communication with a corresponding radio transceiver, and a metropolitan area network (MAN) transceiver carried by the portable housing for indirect communication with a corresponding MAN transceiver via a MAN base station. The portable radio communications device may also include a controller carried by the portable housing for selectively allocating transmission of the data and voice communications between the radio transceiver and the MAN transceiver based upon a received signal characteristic. The controller may preferentially allocate the voice communications and the data communications to the radio transceiver and the MAN transceiver, respectively. | 07-09-2009 |
| 20090232085 | COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM USING FRAME STRUCTURE FOR DIFFERENT WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS PROTOCOLS AND RELATED METHODS - A communications system may include a first wireless communications device communicating based upon a first wireless communications protocol, a second wireless communications device communicating based upon a second wireless communications protocol different from the first wireless communications protocol, and a wireless base station. The wireless base station may communicate with the first wireless communications device and the second wireless communications device based upon a frame structure. The frame structure may be defined by sub-carriers at respective different frequencies and symbols at respective different times. The frame structure may include a frame control header, a first frame portion for communicating with the first wireless communications device based upon the first wireless communications protocol, and a second frame portion for communicating with the second wireless communications device based upon the second wireless communications protocol. | 09-17-2009 |
