    摘要: An apparatus and method for removing air or other gases from a free-ink ink-jet pen is provided in a manner that does not waste ink or require disposal of purged ink. A gas separation and purge mechanism is incorporated into a pen body construct having an ink containment chamber such that gases will rise toward the mechanism. A vacuum is cyclically applied to the gas separation and purge mechanism to remove the gas and to allow the ink containment chamber to refill from a remote reservoir as needed.

    摘要: An ink delivery system for an ink-jet pen having a print head with ink nozzles and a cartridge with an internal reservoir divided into a capillary material filled volume and a free standpipe volume. The print head is mounted on the cartridge adjacent the standpipe volume. The ink delivery system further includes a circulation conduit removably connected to the standpipe volume and the capillary material filled volume to permit fluid flow from the standpipe volume to the capillary material filled volume. A supply conduit connects an ink supply to the circulation conduit. A pump connected to the circulation conduit pumps ink from the ink supply through the circulation conduit to the capillary material filled volume. The pump further operates to pump fluid from the standpipe volume through the circulation conduit and to the capillary material-filled volume thereby filling the cartridge with ink, removing gas bubbles from the cartridge, priming the print head nozzles, and dissipating heat generated by the print head.

    摘要: A method of predicting at least one drying parameter for a printing press includes estimating an amount and type of an ink to be deposited on a printing surface, determining at least one of: i) a type of the printing surface, ii) a thickness of the printing surface, and iii) a speed of the printing surface moving through the printing press, and calculating, via a controller associated with the dryer, the at least one drying parameter based at least on: i) the amount and the type of the ink to be deposited on the printing surface; ii) the type of the printing surface, iii) the thickness of the printing surface, and iv) the speed of the printing surface moving through the printing press. Also disclosed herein is a method of determining if the ink established on the printing surface is dry.

    摘要: A system for automatically gathering efficiency metrics in a quick-service establishment that makes use of certain data signals already generated in a great number of such establishments. A repeating communication device, which is used to receive and re-broadcast communications amongst the employees of the quick service restaurant, acts as a central hub that receives various data signals. The data signals may be analyzed, and the information hidden therein may be unearthed. The information may be transmitted to a remote computer system for further analysis, which may receive similar data from similar quick-service establishments.

    摘要: An ink supply container for an ink-jet printer is provided with a main reservoir, which is typically maintained at ambient pressure. The main reservoir is coupled to a variable volume chamber via a one-way valve which allows the flow of ink from the reservoir to the chamber and prevents the flow of ink from the chamber to the reservoir. The chamber is coupled to a fluid outlet which is normally closed to prevent the flow of ink. A fill port is provided for directing ink into the reservoir to fill the reservoir. The apparatus and method for filling the ink container includes a nozzle that seals around the fill port and that has valved fluid lines connected thereto for evacuating the container prior to filling and for directing ink into the evacuated reservoir. The nozzle surrounds a plug that is moved to seal the port while the nozzle is still sealed around the port immediately after the container is filled.

    摘要: A reservoir for an ink supply for an ink-jet printer is provided with a refill port through which it can be refilled. The reservoir may be coupled to a variable volume chamber via a check valve which allows the flow of ink from the reservoir to the chamber and limits the flow of ink from the chamber to the reservoir. The chamber is coupled to a fluid outlet which is normally closed to prevent the flow of ink. However, when the ink supply is installed in a printer, the fluid outlet establishes a fluid connection between the chamber and the printer. The chamber is part of a pump provided with the ink supply that can be actuated to supply ink from the reservoir to the printer. Alternatively, the reservoir may be coupled directly to the fluid outlet and an alternative method of transferring the ink to the printer provided.
