US Classification:
347 32
Abstract:
A printer having a media width printhead a sled slidably arranged with respect to the printhead a media platen module supported by the sled a capper module supported by the sled a wiper module supported by the sled and a selection mechanism for selectively sliding the sled to align one of the platen, capper and wiper modules with the printhead, and for moving the aligned module to a position in proximity of the printhead.

International Classification:
B41J 2/165
US Classification:
347 32
Abstract:
A maintenance apparatus for a printhead, the apparatus having a rotatable shaft; a porous material about the shaft; and a mechanism for rotating the shaft so that the porous material rotates against the printhead, the porous material being configured to absorb fluid from the printhead during the rotation.

International Classification:
B41J 2/165
US Classification:
347 22
Abstract:
A printing assistance apparatus for a media width printhead, the apparatus having: an elongate platen having a surface for supporting media across the media width during printing on the media by fluid ejection nozzles of the printhead; and a wick element positioned within the platen for wicking fluid ejected by the nozzles from the supporting surface, the wick element having an elongate body positioned within the platen and a plurality of pads projecting from the body along the longitudinal length body toward the printhead, the pads being separated by notches.

A dual-mode augmented/virtual reality near-eye wearable display for use with a curved lens element. The lenses are provided with one or more transparent waveguide elements that are disposed within the thickness of the lenses. The waveguide elements are configured to couple display images directly from image sources such as emissive display imagers to an exit aperture or plurality of exit aperture sub-regions within a viewer's field of view. In a preferred embodiment, a plurality of image sources are disposed on the peripheral surface of the lenses whereby each image source has a dedicated input image aperture and exit aperture sub-region that are each “piecewise flat” and have matched areas and angles of divergence whereby a viewer is presented with the output of the plurality of image source images within the viewer's field of view.
Printer Having Sled Providing Wiping, Capping And Platen Modules
- Dublin, IE Biagio Agostinelli - San Diego CA, US Javier Escobedo - San Diego CA, US Antoni Murcia - San Diego CA, US David Tyvoll - San Diego CA, US
International Classification:
B41J 2/165
Abstract:
A printer includes: an inkjet printhead assembly; a sled slidably arranged with respect to the printhead assembly, the sled supporting a platen module, a capper module and a wiper module; a sliding mechanism for sliding the sled relative to printhead assembly so as to selectively align one of the platen, capper and wiper modules with the printhead assembly; and a lift mechanism for lifting an aligned module linearly away from the sled and towards the printhead assembly. The platen module is positioned between the capper and wiper modules on the sled, such that the capper and wiper modules are positioned at opposite sides of the printhead assembly during printing.
System For Guiding Media Past Media Width Printhead

Assignee:
Zamtec Limited - Dublin 2
International Classification:
B41J 11/04
US Classification:
347104
Abstract:
A system for guiding media past a media width printhead. The system includes: a media width printhead having printhead ICs defining respective print zones; input and output rollers; and an elongate platen for guiding the media as the media is transported through the print zone. The platen has a series of upstream ribs and downstream ribs configured for contacting the media and guiding the media through the print zone. The platen has an aperture such that each printhead IC of the printhead is positioned opposite the aperture, and the print media is suspended between the upstream and downstream ribs across an entire width of the print zone of each printhead IC.
