摘要:
An apparatus for adaptive sheet decurling in an electrophotographic printing machine. A plurality of sensors are provided to determine the basis weight of the copy sheet, the density of the image being transferred to the copy sheet and fused thereon, the relative humidity of the machine environment, the process speed of the print engine, and any other relevant parameters. Signals indicative of these parameters are generated and sent to the machine controller which processes these signals and predicts the degree and direction of curl expected in a sheet. Based on the degree of and direction of curl, a bidirectional variable penetration decurler is actuated to a setting which should provide the proper amount of mechanical decurling force.

A shaving applicator device provided with a shaving lubricant dispenser and an applicator head for applying lubricant directly on skin without hand touching the lubricant. The applicator head consists of a flow channel shaft, a roller having two end wheels and a rubber sleeve having self-closing slits. Under a pumping pressure, the lubricant emerges from the slits to spread on the roller surface. Gliding the roller on skin surface can spread the lubricant on the skin evenly with predetermined thickness. The dispenser may contain shaving foam, gel or liquid. For shaving liquid, foaming meshes are installed in the flow channel shaft for generating foam. Additionally, a combination shaver including a shaving lubricant dispenser, an applicator head and a razor unit is provided. In the combination shaver the razor unit and the applicator head are positioned in parallel back to back with a clearance.

A drug delivery device utilizing compressible fluid chambers for actuation is disclosed. The device includes a compressible dispensing chamber situated in a first compartment and a compressible filler-fluid chamber in flow communication with the first compartment. The compressible dispensing chamber is attached with a reciprocating plunger for dispensing the drug fluid. The drug chamber is refillable with a refill container that uses a compressible pouch containing the refill drug fluid. The refilling process is failsafe enabled by the insertion of the refill container needle only at the correct position to activate an internal contact switch. The compressible-wall configurations enable low dispensing forces without leakage of the drug fluid.

Pump toothbrush comprising a pump head, a refillable cartridge containing dentifrice material, an integrated dispensing platform and a disposable bristle head. The pump head includes an inlet connector for attaching the cartridge, a pumping chamber attached with an elastic compressible button, and a dispensing platform. The dispensing platform contains a flow channel and a self-sealing slit-spout to prevent drying of the dentifrice material at the spout. The slit spout opens and closes automatically when the compressible button is pressed and released. The bristle head, which is the disposable part of the pump toothbrush, is attached to the dispensing platform for structural support and receiving the dentifrice material from the slit spout. Gum-guard elements are optionally attached to the periphery of the dispensing platform for massaging gums.

This is a mechanical oil dispenser for use in applying an oil to the surface (or two surfaces in a duplex mode) of printed media to improve its sheet-handling characteristics. This dispenser system has an oil-containing housing or tank with oil ports at the bottom of the tank. The ports are abutting a wick, this wick then disperses oil to an applicator roll which in turn applies oil to one or both surfaces of a printed media. The oil ports and oil flow are controlled by the profile of a cam and shaft in operative connection to said ports. Opening and closing of these oil ports are controlled by a cam shaft movement actuated by the rotation and stopping of the applicator roll.

For carry-on and storage, a combination toothbrush container providing features for selectively venting and sealing a dentifrice dispensing toothbrush for drying bristles and for preventing hardening of toothpaste in the spout opening of the brush head. The toothbrush container consists of a hollow vent-tubing with vent holes near the top and the bottom end, as well as a top vent-cap and a bottom vent-cap. Both vent-caps have corresponding vent holes and can be twisted to open or close the vent holes of the vent-tubing for air circulation or for sealing the toothbrush in the enclosed air environment. Optionally the top vent-cap is attached with a dental floss dispenser having a scissors-like two-blade cutter assembly for automatically severing a dental floss by the closing action of the cutter lid. Besides, the vent-caps may have dual walls for enhancing the sealing function.

In a fuser for xerographic printing, stripper fingers remove the print sheet from a fuser roll. The stripper finger having a tip for stripping a lead edge of a sheet from the fuser roll. A roller assembly, positioned adjacent to the stripper finger; for engaging the lead edge of a sheet and lifting the sheet from further contact with the tip after the tip of the stripper finger strips the lead edge of the sheet from the fuser roll. The roller assemlby is removably mounted by using a snap-on mounting structure.

A pump toothbrush having a toothpaste tube to dispense dentifrice material to top of bristle head is disclosed. The pump toothbrush has a pump head with a resilient button to create an internal vacuum force to draw the dentifrice material from the toothpaste tube. The toothpaste tube is supported by width-limiting fingers to prevent total collapsing of sidewalls resulting in blocking of its flow channel. A self-closing spout is used for preventing backflow. For a manual pump toothbrush the toothpaste tube has an oval-shaped shoulder for mating with the oval-shaped shoulder of a detachable handle for fastening the toothpaste tube by threads. For an electrical pump toothbrush, a detachable endcap connector is used for swinging out the toothpaste tube from its handle for replacement. A sonic vibration model uses rubber molding to minimize vibration on the handle. A dual-rotary model has two rotary bristle elements engaged by gear teeth.

The invention relates generally to implantable drug delivery devices. Devices having a single drug chamber configuration, a divided drug chamber configuration and a compact dual-drug configuration are described. The devices have features to prevent clogging of the dispensing catheter and the creation of a local vacuum caused by the dispensing of the drug fluid. Also provided are features of a failsafe refilling process, automatic refill notification, and performance verification process. The divided drug chamber configuration enables frequent or continuous minute doses. A dual-drug chamber configuration uses self-locking refill containers to prevent mismatching between refill containers and drug chambers.
摘要:
A sheet separating mechanism and a method of separating sheets that includes a retard surface carrier that causes a retard surface to apply an alternately higher and lower friction force against the edge of an underlying sheet. The alternation of the higher and lower friction force can be coupled to a vacuum sheet feeder. The retard surface can be translated to present a next portion of the retard surface to the edge of the next underlying sheet with the translation coupled to the vacuum sheet feeder.
