Inventor: SCHULMEISTER PETER
IPC: B41J2/01
Filed: 2013-08-15
Abstract: A digital printing device performs dynamic printing of a substrate web in line with static printing in a reel-fed printing press. A position sensor, together with a digital printing head, is relocated on a cross member transversely to the transport direction of the respective substrate web and serves for measuring the respective substrate web for regulating a print position for the dynamic printing. A position sensor control generates a synchronisation signal for the device dependent on a cylinder trigger signal and on measurement values of the position sensor out of the cylinder trigger signal and provides a digital printing head control. A speed signal transformer generates a feed signal dependent on a speed signal and a predetermined dynamic print resolution out of the speed signal, making it available to the digital printing head control which activates the digital printing head dependent on the synchronisation signal and on the feed signal.

Title: Autonomous fluid control assembly having a movable, density-driven diverter for directing fluid flow in a fluid control system
Inventor: FRIPP MICHAEL L
IPC: E21B43/12
Filed: 2011-11-11
Abstract: An apparatus is presented for autonomously controlling fluid flow in a subterranean well, the fluid having a density which changes over time. An embodiment of the apparatus has a vortex chamber, a vortex outlet, and first and second inlets into the vortex chamber. Flow into the inlets is directed by a fluid control system which has a control passageway for directing fluid flow as it exits a primary passageway. A movable fluid diverter positioned in the control passageway moves in response to change in fluid density to restrict fluid flow through the control passageway. When fluid flow through the control passageway is unrestricted, fluid from the control passageway directs fluid exiting the primary passageway toward a selected vortex inlet. When flow through the control passageway is unrestricted, flow from the primary passageway is directed into the other vortex inlet.
