| 20110136985 | MOLDED ARTICLE HAVING A MOLD IMPARTED RELEASE LAYER COATING - A process for molding an article is provided that includes applying a permanent release coating to a surface of a mold cavity. The permanent release coating is over layered with a top coat that upon filling the mold cavity with a polymer or a polymer precursor under conditions to form the article, the top coat is transferred to the resultant article to form a top coat skin without appreciably removing the permanent release coating from the surface of the mold cavity. Articles having curved surfaces and high aspect ratios are particularly well suited for forming a top coat skin thereon through the process. An unsaturated top coat material is noted to react with the polymer or polymer precursor during molding to form a top coat skin that is covalently bonded to the remainder of the article. The process detailed herein is particularly well suited for forming covalently bonded coatings on elastomeric articles. The top coat skin provides a lower coefficient of friction, modified hydrophobicity, resistance to attack by solvents and other chemical agents, as well as blocking resistance changes relative to the base article absent the top coat. A benefit of the present invention is that post-molding application of a comparable top coat is thereby avoided. | 06-09-2011 |

| 20090007828 | PLANTER WITH STRUCTURAL AIR MANIFOLD - A planter, in certain embodiments, includes a structural air manifold. The planter may include a hollow structural member configured to bear and/or distribute static and dynamic loads of the planter. The structural member may include a hollow interior having a first port and a second port. A plurality of individual planting units and a fan may be mounted to the structural member and coupled to the hollow interior at the first and second ports, respectively, via a conduit. The hollow interior may provide a path for forced airflow between the first and second ports to enable pneumatic operation of a feature of the agricultural seed planter. Further, each planting unit may include a seed meter pneumatically coupled to the fan. An orifice may be disposed in the first or second port to restrict the airflow through the port and to the seed meter. | 01-08-2009 |

| 20100032883 | Kiosk-Installable Printer with Duplex Path Utilized to Deliver Printed Media Sheets to Lower Front Exterior of Printer - An image forming device includes an image formation path extending from an entrance end adjacent to a source of supply of media sheets, past an image forming station, to an exit end adjacent to a top collection site adapted to receive media sheets, a duplex path extending from an inlet end adjacent the top collection site to an outlet end adjacent a lower front opening in the device, a media sheet directing mechanism disposed between the exit end of the image formation path, top collection site and inlet end of the duplex path and selectively operable to deliver printed media sheets to the top collection site or the inlet end of the duplex path, and a deflector mechanism between the lower front opening and the outlet end of the duplex path and operable to divert printed media sheets from the duplex path through the lower front opening to exterior of the device. | 02-11-2010 |
| 20100166469 | System and Drive Arrangement for Using Fuser Temperature Cycling to Change Rotational Position of a Fuser Roller Wiper - A system and drive arrangement for using fuser temperature cycling to change rotational position of a fuser roller wiper includes a frame, a hot roll, a fuser roller, and a drive arrangement. The frame of the fuser unit has side panels spaced apart from one another and positioned alongside a media path through the fuser unit. The hot roll on the fuser unit is rotatably mounted to the side panels of the frame and extends between the side panels across the media path. The fuser roller wiper is rotatably mounted between the side panels of the frame and performs a wiping action on the hot roll to remove foreign matter therefrom and supply of lubricant thereto. The drive arrangement is coupled to the fuser roller wiper and is operable in response to decrease in temperature of the fuser unit to rotate the fuser roller wiper. | 07-01-2010 |
| 20100329766 | DEVICE AND METHOD FOR PRINTING BANNER MEDIA - An apparatus and method for printing banner media utilizing a conventional laser printer wherein no or substantially no modification is required to the paper tray of the laser printer. The apparatus further includes a storage compartment that can be operably coupled with the paper tray. Disposed within the storage compartment is a plurality of rotatably mounted spools having a banner media stored thereon. Additionally, an alternative method of configuring banner media in a conventional paper tray is provided whereby the banner print media is configured in one of a z-fold configuration and a modified z-fold configuration, with the modified z-fold configuration to inhibit creases in the banner print media. | 12-30-2010 |

| 20110133615 | Electronic Locking System to Secure Consumable Item in an Image Forming Device and a Method Therefor - An electronic locking system to secure consumable items in an image forming device and a method therefore. In one embodiment of the invention, an electronic locking system to secure media sheets includes a media tray to hold media sheets, a tray receiving member for receiving the media tray, and a controller. The tray receiving member includes a drive device and a plunger. The plunger is moved by the drive device between a locked and an unlocked position. The controller is configured to control the drive device to move the plunger to engage a portion of the media tray in the locked position and to move the plunger to disengage from the portion of the media tray in the unlocked position. The electronic locking system, incorporating the controller, provides an effective and efficient way to lock/unlock the media tray and eliminates the use of mechanical keys. | 06-09-2011 |

| 20080313651 | Event queuing and consumption - Techniques are described to provide event queuing and consumption. In an implementation, events received at an event router are queued after determining that a switch is to be performed from a first event consumer to a second event consumer. Events previously queued at the first event consumer are communicated to the second event consumer, and when completed, the events queued at the event router are communicated to the second event consumer. | 12-18-2008 |
