摘要:
A method of making a slotted scavenger wherein a rigid sheet is used as a starting material. A slot is formed through the sheet having horizontally angled sidewalls such that an opening of the slot on a first major surface of the sheet is smaller than an opening of the slot in a second major surface of the sheet. Modifications of the method include using a rotating cutting tool for cutting through the sheet to form slots.

摘要:
A method for recirculating carrier back into a printer developer station by forming a horizontal slot in the face of the scavenger electrode. The carrier is urged through the slot and into the developer station by magnetic force to prevent the build up of carrier on the scavenger.
摘要:
A printer having a developer station for holding a supply of developer which includes magnetized carrier particles, a magnetized development roller, and an imaging roller proximate the development roller which collects carrier particles during operation of the printer. A scavenger proximate the imaging roller and the development roller removes the carrier particles from the imaging roller during operation of the printer which are then urged through a slot in the scavenger by the magnetized development roller.

An apparatus and method for arranging the spacing of magnets in an electrostatogaphic printer to eliminate steaks due to the magnetic carrier that does not move uniformly across the photoconductor surface.
摘要:
Developer density in an electrophotographic system is measured. The developer includes toner particles and magnetic carrier particles. First and second mutually-insulated electrodes define a working volume between them through which developer passes without contacting the first electrode. An AC voltage or current source is connected to the electrodes. An inductor is connected in series with a voltage source, or an inductor is provided in parallel with a current source. The voltage or current is applied and corresponding current or voltage across the electrodes is measured. The density of the developer in the working volume is automatically determined using a processor responsive to the measured current or voltage and the applied bias.
摘要:
A metering skive for a developer roller which is adapted to shear and/or meter developer at a developer-skive interface while minimizing compression of the metered developer. The metering skive is adjustable to various shear angles and has a geometry which enables a portion of the developer flow to be sheared away toward a curved second surface of the metering skive while metering the developer flow in a manner which minimizes or reduces compression of the developer.
摘要:
An apparatus includes an electric vehicle supply circuit, and a communication interface coupled to the electric vehicle supply circuit. In some embodiments, the apparatus may be adapted to function as a node for a mesh network. In other embodiments, the communication interface may be adapted to communicate with a utility collection point using substantially the same protocol as the utility collection point. In yet other embodiments, the apparatus may be adapted to control the wireless communication interface in response to the state of the electric vehicle supply circuit.
