Heat Indicating System

US Patent:
7103292, Sep 5, 2006
Filed:
Oct 20, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/689464
Inventors:
Mark Hirst - Boise ID, US
Richard Lee Swantner - Boise ID, US
Assignee:
Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. - Houston TX
International Classification:
G03G 15/20
US Classification:
399 33, 399122, 399322, 399328
Abstract:
An indicating system in a device having a heat emitting member. The indicating system includes a thermoelectric generator and an indicating device. The thermoelectric generator is adapted to thermally couple to the heat emitting member and configured to convert heat from the heat emitting element to electrical energy. The indicating device is powered by the electrical energy and configured to provide indication of when a temperature level of the heat emitting member is above a temperature threshold.

System And Method For Providing Messages On A Printing Component

US Patent:
7620333, Nov 17, 2009
Filed:
Sep 26, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/861541
Inventors:
Richard L. Swantner - Boise ID, US
Scott K. Hymas - Meridian ID, US
Sarah E. Swantner - Boise ID, US
Assignee:
Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. - Houston TX
International Classification:
G03G 15/00
US Classification:
399 24, 399 25, 399 26, 399158
Abstract:
A consumable printing component for use in a printing device includes an imaging member and a memory storing message data. In response to a trigger event, a message is formed on the imaging member at the end of a print job such that the message remains on the imaging member.

Printing Device And Method For Switching Between Monochrome And Color Modes

US Patent:
7676171, Mar 9, 2010
Filed:
Apr 26, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/796090
Inventors:
Richard L. Swantner - Boise ID, US
Jeffrey L. Trask - Boise ID, US
Assignee:
Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. - Houston TX
International Classification:
G03G 15/00
G06F 3/12
US Classification:
399 85, 358 113
Abstract:
A method for printing images on at least one substrate using an apparatus having a plurality of print modes, wherein at least one of the print modes is a monochrome printing mode and another of the print modes is a color printing mode, the method comprising: printing a first portion of the images in a first of the print modes; determining whether the images being printed in the first mode meet a predetermined criteria; switching the apparatus into a second of the print modes when the images then being printed in the first print mode meet the predetermined criteria; and printing a second portion of the images using the apparatus in the second of the print modes after the switching.

US Patent:
7697882, Apr 13, 2010
Filed:
Oct 14, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/684634
Inventors:
Mark Hirst - Boise ID, US
Richard Lee Swantner - Boise ID, US
Assignee:
Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. - Houston TX
International Classification:
G03G 15/00
US Classification:
399400, 399320, 136205
Abstract:
One embodiment of the present invention provides an apparatus comprising a thermoelectric generator thermally coupled to an assembly having a member, wherein the thermoelectric generator is configured to convert heat from the assembly to an electrical energy. The apparatus further comprises a mechanism comprising a motor configured to actuate the member using the electrical energy.

Image Forming System Cleaning Station With Waste Toner Collection

US Patent:
8131178, Mar 6, 2012
Filed:
May 14, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/465946
Inventors:
Richard L. Swantner - Boise ID, US
Sarah Elizabeth Swantner - Boise ID, US
Assignee:
Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. - Houston TX
International Classification:
G03G 15/16
US Classification:
399101, 399129
Abstract:
A cleaning station is usable with an image forming apparatus that has at least one developer configured to deliver toner of a first polarity to a latent image formed on a photoconductor. The cleaning station includes a transfer mechanism configured to transfer the toner of the first polarity from the latent image to a print medium, a charging station configured to charge waste toner not transferred from the transfer mechanism to the print medium to a second polarity opposite the first polarity, and a cleaner assembly configured to collect the waste toner from the transfer mechanism.

Printing Device

US Patent:
2005016, Aug 4, 2005
Filed:
Jan 30, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/769524
Inventors:
Richard Swantner - Boise ID, US
International Classification:
G03G015/08
US Classification:
399053000, 399055000
Abstract:
A printing device can determine a toner development control parameter. The printing device can receive a print job that describes an image to be printed. The printing device can determine if a band of image lines in the image satisfies pre-determined criteria. The printing device can determine a development control parameter value based, at least in part, on whether the band is determined to satisfy the pre-determined criteria.

System And Method For Providing A Message On A Replaceable Printing Component

US Patent:
2011027, Nov 17, 2011
Filed:
Jan 30, 2009
Appl. No.:
13/141254
Inventors:
Scott K. Hymas - Meridian ID, US

Darius Boockholdt - Eagle ID, US
International Classification:
G06K 15/02
US Classification:
358 115
Abstract:
A method for providing a message on a replaceable printing component of a printing device includes detecting a trigger event, retrieving a message from a memory associated with the replaceable printing component in response to the trigger event, and forming the message on an imaging member of the replaceable printing component, wherein the trigger event comprises an end of a print job, and wherein the message remains on the imaging member after completion of the print job.
