    Abstract: An example image forming apparatus includes a main body having a guide frame to guide a toner cartridge on a path for detachment and attachment, a sensor to sense a remaining toner level of the toner cartridge, and a shutter member disposed to move along the guide frame in association with the attachment and detachment of the toner cartridge. In response to separation of the toner cartridge from the guide frame, the shutter member is movable to a first position covering the sensor and, in response to the toner cartridge being mounted on the guide frame, the shutter member is movable to a second position to open the sensor.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and corresponding computer-readable media for multi-modal hierarchical semantic search of electronic documents. Systems in accordance with the disclosure comprise search engine controllers, any desired numbers of search engine interface controllers, and persistent data stores accessible by the search engine controllers. The controllers are configured to parse searchable document data sets to extract document object data sets. Each document object data set can represent textual and/or image feature of the document. For each document object data sets the controller generates at least one enriched document object data set, and forms at least one of a document graph or index. In response to search requests, the search controller compares document graphs or indexes to identify the most similar documents.

    Abstract: In an example, an accessory hanger may include a pivot to rotatably engage with a housing of an electronic device about a pivot axis and a hanger rotatably attached to the pivot about a hanger axis, transverse to the pivot axis. The pivot may rotate the hanger relative to the housing about the pivot axis between a stowed position and a deployed position and the hanger may be movable from an unlocked position to a locked position when in the deployed position.

    Abstract: Examples are described herein for monitoring power source usage of a computing device, including a battery and another power source, over time. In various examples, time periods of this monitored time may be added to a time count based on their immediately previous or immediately subsequent time periods satisfying a condition. The time count may be used to track periods of time during which certain power source usage factors are present that may lead to or may indicate the presence of battery swelling. After a time period is added to the time count, the updated time count can be compared to a time count threshold, and a user of the computing device may be warned based on the comparison. The threshold and warning may be selected to warn a user of potential present or future swelling of the battery.
