A method of maintaining a surface charge on a photoreceptor within a predetermined voltage range is provided, comprising the steps of providing a charging device adjacent to a surface of the photoreceptor, determining a reference voltage to be applied by the charging device to the photoreceptor surface to establish a first photoreceptor surface voltage, and applying the reference voltage to the surface of the moving photoreceptor with the charging device while measuring a first photoreceptor current. The method further comprises comparing the first photoreceptor current to predetermined characteristics of the photoreceptor to calculate a first output value, comparing the first output value to predetermined characteristics of the photoreceptor and calculating a first correction voltage, and applying the first correction voltage to the photoreceptor surface with the charging device to obtain a surface voltage on the photoreceptor that is within the predetermined operational voltage range.

An injection spraying system includes a container having a compartment configured to hold a first fluid. A valve body is removably coupled with the container and includes a mixing chamber, an inlet passageway configured to deliver a second fluid to the mixing chamber, a discharge passageway extending from the mixing chamber, a stem compartment communicating with the mixing chamber through a control orifice, and a transition passageway in fluid communication with the stem compartment. Movably disposed within the stem compartment is a metering stem having a tapered nose configured to selectively engage the control orifice. An adjustment knob is mounted to the metering stem such that rotation of the adjustment knob selectively advances and retracts the metering stem within the chamber of the meter tube. A siphoning tube has one end disposed within the compartment of the container and an opposing end in fluid communication with the transition passageway.

A stir pot is provided including a stirring unit having an outer stir portion with an outer edge. Such outer edge defines a size and shape corresponding to a vertical cross-section of an interior surface of the pot along a diameter thereof. As such, the stirring unit is rotatably situated within the pot and adapted to rotate about central axis of the pot and the outer edge is adapted to scrape the interior surface of pot when rotating. Further provided is a rotating mechanism for selectively rotating the stirring unit.

A pipe connector structure, for coaxial pipe sections having a common liner, and including a pair of flange members, constructed to be drawn together by suitable bolt or other attachment means, which flange members include flange bodies having remote flange ends that are inwardly and downwardly tapered and constructed to coact with pipe securement rings. Between such rings is a sleeve, split in two halves along a diameter thereof for positionment about the liner and constructed, if expanded radially outwardly by radial expansion of the liner, upon the application of internal pressure means, to come in contact with the inner surfaces of the machined flange members to delimit such radial expansion. Alternatively, where the liner is essentially non-radially expandable, then gaps in the split sleeve can be closed and such sleeve and flanges can act conjointly as to the liner to counteract radial liner burst pressures. Pipe ends to be coupled together are positioned against interior shoulders of the split sleeve. Frusto-conical split pipe-gripping rings directly about opposite ends of the sleeve and coact with the flange members to make up the coupling and grip the pipe sections.

An electrophotographic imaging process includes the steps of (a) providing an organophotoreceptor belt having a photoconductive element on an electrically conductive substrate and a seam; (b) providing an imaging apparatus comprising a developer roll; (c) mounting the organophotoreceptor belt on the imaging apparatus; (d) applying a first voltage to the photoconductive element; (e) applying a second voltage to the developer roll when the seam is at a distance less than 10% of the circumference of the organophotoreceptor belt from the developer roll, otherwise applying a third voltage; (f) applying a fourth voltage to the electrically conductive substrate; (g) moving the organophotoreceptor belt; (h) imagewise exposing the surface of the organophotoreceptor belt to radiation to reduce voltage in selected areas and thereby form a pattern of high voltage and low voltage areas on the surface; (i) contacting the surface with a liquid ink comprising colorant particles in an organic liquid to create an image; and (j) transferring the toned image to a receiving medium; wherein the second voltage is equal or less than the fourth voltage when the first and third voltage are positive or the second voltage is equal or greater than the fourth voltage when the first and third voltage are negative.
摘要:
A system for registration of one or more color separation images on a photoconductor belt prevents misregistration that otherwise can occur between different scan lines and between different latent images due to side-to-side movement of the photoconductor belt. The registration system operates to detect movement of the photoconductor belt. Based on the detected movement, the system operates to control modulation of laser beams used to form the latent images to ensure precise registration of the color separation images. As one advantage, the movement of the photoconductor belt can be detected precisely and inexpensively by a photodetector scanned with the same laser beam used for imaging.
