Title: Method for quality improvement of printing with a thermotransfer print head and arrangement for implementation of the method
Inventor: REISINGER FRANK
IPC: G07B17/00
Filed: 2007-02-19
Abstract: In a method and apparatus for improving the printing with a thermotransfer print head, an energy value is calculated before the printing process according to different types to be implemented when a dot is to be printed. Energy values also are calculated for the heating elements at the ends of the row of heating elements of the high-resolution thermotransfer print head, so as to activate these heating elements even though in heating phases no dot to be printed at the border external to the barcode image.  Additionally, those heating elements that do not lie in the two border regions of the heating element row are also activated for a limited time duration, the aforementioned time duration directly preceding the printing of a barcode image. A microprocessor calculates the energy values and is connected with a pixel energy memory for non-volatile buffering of the data that are transferred into a print data controller and are converted into a print pulse duration.

Title: Vacuum-actuated shear valve device, system, and method, particularly for use in service station environments
Inventor: FRICKE RICHARD
IPC: F16K17/36
Filed: 2006-04-26
Abstract: A vacuum-actuated shear valve (116) coupled between piping (106,140) from a storage tank and piping internal to a fuel dispenser (10) that automatically opens and closes in response to a vacuum level. A vacuum actuator (186) is provided to control a fuel flow valve inside the shear valve (116) . When a sufficient vacuum level is generated to the vacuum actuator (186) , the actuator keeps the flow path valve inside the shear valve (116) open. When the vacuum is lost, the vacuum actuator (186) releases the flow path valve inside the shear valve, which closes it. The vacuum actuator (186) is coupled to a secondary containment space of a fuel-handling component that is drawn under a vacuum level by a vacuum-generating source to monitor for leaks. Thus, if a leak occurs in the monitored secondarily contained space, the shear valve (116) is automatically closed to prevent the flow of fuel from continuing to be supplied to the source of the leak.
