摘要:
A method of supplying an energization signal to a selected element in an array of print elements. Printing activity of the selected element and neighboring elements is determined, compressed and stored to memory. Based on the stored compressed printing activity data, an energization schedule for the selected element is determined using a look-up table technique. The data in the look-up table may also be compressed reducing the memory required by the energization data. Further reductions in memory are achieved by grouping portions of the printing activity data to identify common energization schedules for differing printing activities. The printing activity data may relate to temporal distributions and/or spatial distributions of printing activity of elements in the array. The method may be applied to linear or two-dimensional arrays of print elements.

According to embodiments, a co-fired or multiple fuel combustion system is configured to apply an electric field to a combustion region corresponding to a second fuel that normally suffers from poor combustion and/or high sooting. Application of an AC voltage to the combustion region was found to increase the extent of combustion and significantly reduce soot evolved from the second fuel.

An integrated photonics module includes at least one light source and a MEMS scanner coupled to and held in alignment by an optical frame configured for mounting to a host system. According to some embodiments, the integrated photonics module may include a plurality of light sources and a beam combiner coupled to the optical frame. According to some embodiments, the integrated photonics module includes a selective fold mirror configured to direct at least a portion of emitted light toward the MEMS scanner in a normal direction and pass scanned light through to a field of view. The selective fold mirror may use beam polarization to select beam passing and reflection. The integrated photonics module may include a beam rotator such as a quarter-wave plate to convert the polarization of the emitted light to a different polarization adapted for passage through the fold mirror. The integrated photonics module may include one or more light detectors.
