Patent EP-0904948-A3 (EP)
Inventor: SIWINSKI MICHAEL JOSEPH
IPC: B41J25/312
Filed: 1998-09-14
Abstract: Printer defining a reduced exterior envelope thereof and method of
providing same. The printer comprises a housing (90) having a front sidewall
(120) that has an aperture (140) therethrough. A platen (210) and a print head
(170) are disposed in the housing. In one embodiment of the invention, the print
head is movable from a first position spaced-apart from the platen to a second
position adjacent the platen, such that the platen and the print head define a
clearance therebetween when the print head is in the first position. A dye donor
cartridge (150), which has an elongate neck portion (300) defining a longitudinal
axis therealong, is insertable through the aperture and into the housing to a
position adjacent the print head. The neck portion is sized to be received through
the clearance for interference-free insertion of the cartridge. Moreover, the
cartridge includes a dye donor supply spool (280) and also includes a dye donor
take-up spool (340) which is disposed in the neck portion. The take-up spool
itself has an elliptically-shaped transverse cross section defining a major axis
(360) and is capable of being oriented such that the major axis of the take-up spool
is parallel with the longitudinal axis of the neck portion during insertion of the
cartridge, so that no portion of the take-up spool extends beyond the edges of the
neck portion. When the major axis is parallel with the longitudinal axis, the
elliptically-shaped take-up spool allows the neck portion, including its take-up
spool, to be inserted through the clearance so that they do not create an
interference with the print head. In this manner, the cartridge may be loaded
through the aperture in the front sidewall rather than by opening a top panel of the
printer, so that the exterior envelope of the printer is reduced. This allows the
printer to reside in a confined space (40) with limited headroom.

Abstract: A hands-free adapter for interfacing a mobile phone handset with an existing
audio system attaches to the handset by means of the accessory connectors
that are generally located on the bottom or back of the handset. The adapter
modulates the received audio from an in-coming call with a pre- selected FM
or AM carrier frequency, and broadcasts the resulting, low power signal to the
antenna of a receiver of the existing audio system, which may include a home
stereo system, a portable stereo system, or a vehicle radio. The receiver is
tuned to the carrier frequency used by the adapter so that the in-coming audio
from the mobile phone can be heard over the audio system speakers. For
Radio Data System (RDS)-capable radio receivers, a processor is provided
within the adapter to generate channel data, which is then transmitted with the
carrier signal. The RDS-capable radio receives the RDS signal and
automatically tunes itself to the selected channel. An optional processor can
be used to control internal and input/output signals through automatic
functions which may include volume control, frequency search, and frequency
tuning.

Abstract: Edge flow control valves located within edge flow tubes of a tube
bank in a headbox can be adjusted to optimize fiber orientation of paper
produced in a papermaking process. The present invention uses a chamfer
at the inlet of edge flow tubes in order to increase maximum flow of pulp
through the edge tube and edge valve. The minimum flow range is not
changed, therefore, the essential flow range of pulp through the edge flow
valve is increased. Laboratory tests have shown at least a 15 percent
increase in maximum flow while not changing the minimum flow. Using a
chamfer tool with a stop collar to control the depth of the cut, a chamfer is
provided at the inlet of each edge flow tube for optimum performance.
According to the present invention, paper produced in a papermaking
process will have an improved fiber orientation when more flow at the
edges of a headbox is needed.
