Title: Method for actuating an inkjet printing device
Inventor: SCHULMEISTER PETER
IPC: B41J3/54
Filed: 2008-07-08
Abstract: The invention is directed to a method for controlling an inkjet printing device working according to the continuous inkjet principle so that a print image to be printed by the inkjet printing device can be positioned on a substrate. The inkjet printing device supplies ink droplets at a determined droplet generating frequency, and the position of the substrate to be imprinted relative to the inkjet printing device is monitored by means of a sensor, in particular by means of an encoder, in order to generate an actuating signal for the inkjet printing device. According to the invention, the absolute position of the substrate is monitored by means of the sensor, and when the sensor detects the start of a substrate zone to be imprinted with a relatively high printing quality, the actuating signal of the inkjet printing device for the subsequent substrate zone to be imprinted with the relatively high printing quality is coupled with the droplet generating frequency, and when the sensor detects the end of a substrate zone to be imprinted with the relatively high printing quality, the actuating signal of the inkjet printing device for the subsequent substrate zone which is not to be imprinted or is to be imprinted with a relatively low printing quality is coupled with the sensor signal.

Abstract: Pipe cladding is based upon a fiber-reinforced brittle matrix composite material. The coating is isotropic, demon-strating pseudo-strain hardening behavior in uniaxial tension, and damage tolerance by design, not relying on stratified layers of reinforcing mesh embedded within concrete or other brittle cementitious matrices for impact resistance, fracture toughness, or crack width control. The fiber reinforced brittle matrix composite cladding protects both the pipe and inner thin, anti-corrosion layer (if present) from impact or abrasion damage while permitting bending of coated and clad pipe. The finished composite clad can be in a simple circular form along the pipe or in some complex form providing an integrated housing for electrical or optical fiber cables, or optical sensing sensors for continuous or intermittent sensing of pipeline leakage or failure.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems, devices and methods for managing skew within a polarized multi-channel optical transport system. In a DP-QPSK system, skew between polarized channels is compensated within the transport system by adding latency to at least one of the polarized channels The amount of added latency may depend on various factors including the skew tolerance of the transport system and the amount of skew across the channels without compensation. This latency may be added optically or electrically, and at various locations on a channel signal path within a transport node, such as a terminal transmitter or receiver. Additionally, various embodiments of the invention provide for novel methods of inserting frame alignment bit sequences within the transport frame overhead so that alignment and skew compensation may be more efficiently and accurately performed at the transport receiver.
