摘要:
A leveling and spreading system has been developed that enables the speed and position of the web to be determined from a sensor on a first roller. In a duplex print process, the first roller also reduces a temperature of the media web and an ink image printed in the first side print operation to within a first predetermined temperature range. A second roller modulates the temperature of the media web and ink ejected onto the media web immediately before the web enters the leveling and spreading system to within a second predetermined temperature range to enable uniformity of the ink and web temperatures for spreading the ink in a nip formed with a third roller.

Systems and methods of a multiple dispensing system may include an image carrier, and may include a plurality of substantially aligned developing units positioned to develop image information on the image carrier. Each developing unit may include only one ink container and only one developer housing. The systems and method may also include a first dispensing system positioned upstream in a sheet feed direction of the plurality of substantially aligned developing units. The first dispensing system may include a first ink container and a first developer housing. The first developer housing may be configured to receive first imaging media from the first ink container and second imaging media from at least one other ink supply source.

A spill container advantageously adapted for use in conjunction with a conventional aquarium is provided. The spill container comprises a receptacle for receiving leaking fluid, and a flexible water-proof compartment for receiving a flow of fluid from the receptacle. The receptacle comprises a containing wall defining a hollow fluid-trapping vessel, an inlet opening for receiving the leaking fluid, and an outlet opening connecting the receptacle to the flexible water-proof compartment. The flexible water-proof compartment comprises a base, a side wall and an inlet opening in fluid communication with the receptacle outlet opening, the flexible water-proof compartment storable in a retracted fluid-receiving position adjacent to the receptacle and extendibly responsive without human intervention to a fluid pressure exerted through the outlet opening by a fluid column in the receptacle, whereby the spill container is adapted to expandably accommodate an accidental leak of volume exceeding the fluid volume of the receptacle without spillover from the receptacle.

An apparatus includes a pair of connectors, two or more conductive paths formed in each connector in the pair of connectors, and a shroud encompassing at least a portion of the pair of connectors. The pair of connectors includes a first connector and a second connector. The first connector is substantially more flexible than the second connector, and each connector in the pair of connectors includes a bulkhead. Each of the two or more conductive paths in each connector in the pair of connectors is electrically isolated from all other conductive elements in the pair of connectors. The shroud is located between the bulkheads and disposed about the pair of connectors when the pair of connectors are coupled together electrically.

A trickle collection system including a trickle port formed in a developer housing and communicating with the interior of the developer housing, and a trickle port housing communicating the trickle port with an external vacuum collection source. The trickle port may include an aperture having a variable cross-section, for controlling an amount of flow of trickle through the trickle port. The trickle collection system also may include an air infusion port communicating the interior of the trickle port housing with external air and providing infusion of an amount of external air into the trickle port housing sufficient to facilitate flow of trickle from the trickle port to the external vacuum collection system. An aperture of the air infusion port may be variable, such that the amount of air infusion may be varied in accordance with internal and/or external conditions. The trickle collection system further may include a toner emission manifold disposed below the developer housing, where the toner emission manifold includes a toner collection port that collects toner adjacent a developer transfer region of the developer housing, and where the trickle port housing communicates with the toner emission manifold at a location remote from the developer transfer region. The trickle collection system may include the vacuum collection system and/or the toner emission manifold. An electrophotographic system of the present disclosure includes a developer housing, a vacuum collection source, and a trickle collection system including a trickle port and a trickle port housing, where the trickle port communicates the interior of the developer housing with the trickle port housing, and the trickle port housing communicates the trickle port with the vacuum collection source.

A printing system that receives an imaging media cartridge includes a rail and a dock to install the imaging media cartridge. The imaging media cartridge includes a housing that has pivots along an alignment axis substantially parallel to the rail. The imaging media cartridge further includes a roller that slides along the rail, the roller being disposed on the housing. The imaging media cartridge also includes a bracket disposed on the housing. To insert the bracket into the dock, the housing rotates on the pivots. To further adjust the position of the imaging media cartridge in the xerographic system, the housing rotates along at least one axis substantially orthogonal to the alignment axis. The rail includes a support beam and a flange. The roller includes at least a pair of wheel housings, each wheel housing having a pair of tandem wheels that glide along the rail. The tandem wheels face each other and glide along the flange and between the support beam. The imaging media cartridge includes a pair of magazines that contains the pivots, with the pair of magazines being disposed in the pair of wheel housings. The bracket includes at least one wheel to glide into the dock.

A transportable device, such as a cart, for transporting and elevating an imaging media cartridge into a press printer may include a base platform, first and second elevation members disposed thereon, a panel disposed between the first and second elevation members, and first and second elevator platforms. The panel may include a pair of opposite vertical faces along which the elevator platforms slide to mutually exchange elevations by vertically sliding the platforms in opposite directions. The device may be used for a method of transporting and elevating an imaging media cartridge into a press printer at an installation height above a floor. Additionally, the device may be used for a method of removing and storing an imaging media cartridge from a press printer at an installation height above the floor.

A hermetic pressure connector which provides a pressure-tight, electrically conductive connection through a hole in a bulkhead. The connector includes a transverse support member having a high pressure side and an opposite low pressure side. A passage extends through the transverse support member between the opposite sides. A conductor pin having an axial portion extends through the passage. An insulating sleeve surrounds at least the axial portion of the conductor pin, thereby electrically insulating the transverse support member from the conductor pin. A molded connected body surrounds at least a central portion of the conductor pin at least at one of the high and low pressure sides to thereby mechanically support the conductor pin in the passage. The molded connector body is directly sealingly engaged with the conductor pin, the insulating sleeve and the transverse support member.
