Filed:
Jul 3, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/898375
Inventors:
Dariush Aboonasry - Lexington KY
Christopher Alan Adkins - Lexington KY
Alexander Lloyd Chapman - Lexington KY
Darell Dean Cronch - Georgetown KY
David Michael Cseledy - Lexington KY
Barry Baxter Stout - Lexington KY
Assignee:
Lexmark International, Inc. - Lexington KY

G01D 534
US Classification:
25023114, 341 13, 356616, 356617
Abstract:
An encoder including a light source for emitting light, a photodetector for detecting at least part of the light emitted by the light source, and an encoder film including a plurality of alternating bars and windows and being located between the light source and the photodetector. The encoder includes a mask including a plurality of alternating bars and windows, the mask being located between the light source and the photodetector. The encoder further includes a spacer located between the mask and the encoder film, the encoder film contacting the spacer to maintain a predetermined spacing between the mask and the encoder film.

Dynamic Printer Operating System

View page
US Patent:
6954278, Oct 11, 2005
Filed:
Feb 13, 1998
Appl. No.:
09/023441
Inventors:
Darell Dean Cronch - Georgetown KY, US
Thomas Jon Eade - Lexington KY, US
Mark Joseph Edwards - Lexington KY, US
Mark Walter Fagan - Lexington KY, US
Assignee:
Lexmark International, Inc. - Lexington KY
International Classification:
G06F015/00
US Classification:
358 115, 358 11
Abstract:
A method of printing on a print medium with a printer which is in communication with a host computer includes the steps of providing the host computer with a print job to be printed by the printer, identifying a data format associated with the print job, determining an operating system stored in the printer, comparing the data format with the printer operating system, downloading an operating system which corresponds to the data format from the host computer to the printer if the printer operating system does not correspond to the data format, transmitting print data associated with the print job from the host computer to the printer, and printing on the print medium with the printer using the print data.

Print Head Energy Storage

View page
US Patent:
7011395, Mar 14, 2006
Filed:
Sep 5, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/656860
Inventors:
Frank Edward Anderson - Sadieville KY, US
Darell Dean Cronch - Georgetown KY, US
Assignee:
Lexmark International, Inc. - Lexington KY
International Classification:
B41J 2/05
B41J 29/38
US Classification:
347 57, 347 9
Abstract:
The manner in which power is supplied to the firing elements of an ink jet printhead is improved by moving a power supply capacitor from the printer to the print head cartridge to improve the regulation of the supply of power to the firing elements of the print head cartridge. The capacitor can be attached to the tab circuit with solder or other wire bonding techniques. Placing the capacitor on the print head cartridge reduces the impedance between the capacitor and the print head, allows the capacitor to be matched to the print head cartridge firing requirements, allows remote voltage sensing at the print head, provides better voltage regulation at the print head and reduces the likelihood the printhead electronics will be damaged due to voltage spiking.

Switching Power Supply, Method Of Operation And Device-And-Power-Supply Assembly

View page
US Patent:
7227652, Jun 5, 2007
Filed:
Oct 17, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/272923
Inventors:
Darell D. Cronch - Georgetown KY, US
Hugh E. Gilbert - Versailles KY, US
Daniel A. Leverett - Richmond KY, US
Assignee:
Lexmark International, Inc. - Lexington KY
International Classification:
G06F 15/00
G06K 1/00
US Classification:
358 114, 347 5, 323282, 363 2115, 307 40
Abstract:
A switching power supply, with or without a secondary side controller, is connectable to a power-supply-using device (such as a printer without a power supply) receiving a voltage from the power-supply's secondary side. The device has a device controller (such as a printer controller) which controls the device, wherein the power supply is adapted to receive a power-supply control signal or power-supply control data from the device controller. A method for operating the switching power supply includes using the power-supply control signal or the power-supply control data to generate an input control signal for the power supply's primary side controller. A device-and-power-supply assembly (such as a printer) includes a switching power supply lacking a secondary side controller and includes a power-supply-using device having a device controller (such as a printer controller) wherein the power supply is adapted to receive a power-supply control signal from the device controller.

Self-Adjusting Homing For A Stepping Motor

View page
US Patent:
47060085, Nov 10, 1987
Filed:
Dec 11, 1986
Appl. No.:
6/940329
Inventors:
Darell D. Cronch - Georgetown KY
Richard T. Fisher - Georgetown KY
Patricia A. Graham - Lexington KY
John E. Passafiume - Lexington KY
Assignee:
IBM Corporation - Armonk NY
International Classification:
H02P 800
US Classification:
318696
Abstract:
For step motors positioned in response to an external reference location, correction for potential one step misalignment is provided. The method and the apparatus of the invention provide a read/write memory, for storing therein a phase state of the step motor at a particular location, e. g. a home position. The home position may coincide with the external reference location or may be offset therefrom by some predetermined move of the step motor. During cold starts, where memory is not retained, the step motor is moved to its home position and then the phase state of the machine is saved. On subsequent warm starts, after the step motor is moved to the assumed home position, the step motor is controlled to assume the phase state that has been previously stored.

Less Restrictive Print Head Cartridge Installation In An Ink Jet Printer

View page
US Patent:
61510416, Nov 21, 2000
Filed:
Oct 19, 1998
Appl. No.:
9/175115
Inventors:
John Philip Bolash - Lexington KY
Darell Dean Cronch - Georgetown KY
Paul Harrington - Versailles KY
Assignee:
Lexmark International, Inc. - Lexington KY
International Classification:
B41J 29393
US Classification:
347 19
Abstract:
The invention described in the specification relates to an ink jet printer with multiple print heads that allows for the less restrictive installation of print head cartridges. The print head carriers are designed so that any of a variety of different types of print head cartridges can be inserted into any of the print head carriers. When image data is received, the ink jet printer's processor determines the appropriate type of print head cartridge that should be used to print the image data. Information electronically stored on the print head cartridges in the form of a read-only memory (ROM), bar code, or optical LED's, identifies the type of each print head cartridge. The printer processor examines this identification information on the installed print head cartridges to determine if one of the print head carriers contains the desired type of print head cartridge. If the desired type of print head cartridge is located, the printer processor configures the printer itself to print with the desired cartridge in the particular print head carrier location in which the desired cartridge was found. If the printer cannot locate the desired type of print head cartridge in any of the multiple print head carriers, a error message is displayed informing the user that the proper print head cartridge is not installed.

Line Find Feature For An Electronic Typewriter

View page
US Patent:
47892579, Dec 6, 1988
Filed:
Sep 25, 1987
Appl. No.:
7/101044
Inventors:
John K. Brown - Lexington KY
Darell D. Cronch - Georgetown KY
Patricia A. Graham - Lexington KY
Kevin N. Tucker - Lexington KY
Assignee:
International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY
International Classification:
B41J 1144
US Classification:
400582
Abstract:
A function for an electronic typewriter is described which allows the operator of the typewriter to realign the print element of the typewriter to the prior adjacent, or the following adjacent line which contains textual material, even when the present position of the print element is other than a uniform line feed increment or multiple thereof, from the designated destination line. The electronic controls of the typewriter determine the present position of the print element and the vertical location of the line to which the print element is to move, and determines the distance and moves the record sheet to position the print element precisely over the designated line of text.
