Abstract: Drop formation devices are provided with a sequence of drop formation waveforms to modulate the liquid jets to selectively cause portions of the liquid jets to break off into print drops having a print drop volume Vp and non-print drops having a non-print drop volume Vnp. The print and non-print drop volumes are distinct from each other. A timing delay device shifts the timing of drop formation waveforms supplied to drop formation devices of first and second nozzle groups so that print drops from the first and second nozzle groups are not aligned relative to each other. A charging device includes a charge electrode that is positioned in the vicinity of break off of liquid jets to produce a print drop charge state on drops of volume Vp and to produce a non-print drop charge state on drops of volume Vnp.

Abstract: An apparatus for obtaining an image of a tooth having at least one light source providing incident light having a first spectral range for obtaining a reflectance image from the tooth and a second spectral range for exciting a fluorescence image from the tooth. A polarizing beamsplitter in the path of the incident light from both sources directs light having a first polarization state toward the tooth and directs light from the tooth having a second polarization state along a return path toward a sensor, wherein the second polarization state is orthogonal to the first polarization state. A first lens in the return path directs image-bearing light from the tooth toward the sensor, and obtains image data from the portion of the light having the second polarization state. A long-pass filter in the return path attenuates light in the second spectral range.

Abstract: A liquid ejection system ejects a liquid jet through a nozzle. A drop formation device modulates the jet causing portions to break off into drop pairs, including first and second drops, separated on average by a drop pair period, and modulates the jet to cause portions to break off into larger third drops separated on average by the same period. A charging device includes a varying electrical potential source providing a waveform including first and second distinct voltage states and a period equal to the drop formation period. The charging device and the formation device are synchronized to produce first, second, and third charge to mass ratios on the first, second, and third drops, respectively. A deflection device causes the first, second, and third drops to travel along first, second, and third paths, respectively. The first and third charge to mass ratios and paths are substantially the same.

Abstract: A method of ejecting liquid drops includes providing liquid under pressure sufficient to eject a liquid jet through a nozzle of a liquid chamber. The liquid jet is modulated to cause portions of the liquid jet to break off into a series of drop pairs traveling along a path using a drop formation device. Each drop pair is separated in time on average by the drop pair period. Each drop pair includes a first drop and a second drop. A charging device is provided that includes a charge electrode associated with the liquid jet and a source of varying electrical potential between the charge electrode and the liquid jet. The source of varying electrical potential provides a waveform that includes a period that is equal to the drop pair period. The waveform also includes a first distinct voltage state and a second distinct voltage state. The charging device is synchronized with the drop formation device to produce a first charge state on the first drop and to produce a second charge state on the second drop. A relative velocity of a first drop and a second drop of a selected drop pair is varied using a drop velocity modulation device to control whether the first drop and the second drop of the selected drop pair combine with each other to form a combined drop. The combined drop has a third charge state. A deflection device is used to cause the first drop having the first charge state to travel along a first path, to cause the second drop having the second charge state to travel along a second path, and to cause the combined drop having the third charge state to travel along a third path.

Abstract: An electromechanical system and a printer for maintaining a peel location of media impressed on a receiving substrate. A mounted optical probe has at least one light source and one or more photodetectors for detecting reflected portions of the light emitted or transmitted from the light source. The photodetector indicates to the system controller a distance of the media for controlling a peel location via an electrical signal. A comparator compares the electrical signal with a predetermined electrical signal reference to determine if the media is desirably positioned. The predetermined electrical reference signal corresponds to the desired peel location. The comparator compares the signal levels and outputs a correction signal used in a negative feedback loop for adjusting a velocity of a motor that drives a take-up roller for the media.
