Method For Position Acquisition For Use With A Hand-Operated Printer

View page
US Patent:
20080075511, Mar 27, 2008
Filed:
Sep 21, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/533787
Inventors:
William Henry Reed - Lexington KY, US
Michael David Stilz - Lexington KY, US
International Classification:
B41J 3/36
US Classification:
400 88
Abstract:
A method for position acquisition for use with a hand-operated printer includes activating the hand-operated printer to make navigation calculations that are based on reading a first sensor and a second sensor; moving the hand-operated printer until a field of view of each of the first sensor and the second sensor are simultaneously located on a first edge of a print medium to define a zero-crossing point of a first navigational axis; subsequently moving the hand-operated printer until the field of view of each of the first sensor and the second sensor are simultaneously located on a second edge of the print medium to define a zero-crossing point of a second navigational axis; and defining a rectilinear grid based on the first navigational axis and the second navigational axis for association with the print medium.

Guiding A Hand-Operated Printer

US Patent:
20080075512, Mar 27, 2008
Filed:
Sep 21, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/533949
Inventors:
Ryan Christopher Gates - Lexington KY, US
Gary Lee Noe - Lexington KY, US
William Henry Reed - Lexington KY, US
Michael David Stilz - Lexington KY, US
Barry Baxter Stout - Lexington KY, US
International Classification:
B41J 3/36
US Classification:
400 88
Abstract:
A method for use in guiding a hand-operated printer positioned over a print medium includes determining a position of the hand-operated printer relative to the print medium; and generating on a display screen a virtual image of at least a portion of an area under the hand-operated printer, corresponding to the position of the hand-operated printer.

Hand Held Printer Having A Doppler Position Sensor

View page
US Patent:
20080219737, Sep 11, 2008
Filed:
Mar 7, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/682900
Inventors:
Michael David Stilz - Lexington KY, US
Maini Helena Williams - Lexington KY, US
International Classification:
B41J 3/36
B41J 29/38
US Classification:
400 76, 400 88
Abstract:
A hand held printer for printing on a print medium includes a body. A printhead is fixedly mounted to the body of the hand held printer. A Doppler position sensor is mounted to the body. A controller is communicatively coupled to each of the printhead and the Doppler position sensor. The controller executes program instructions to read a velocity signal received from the Doppler position sensor and processes the velocity signal to determine a position of the printhead on the print medium relative to at least one of a first axis and a second axis.

Print Scheduling In Handheld Printers

View page
US Patent:
20090040286, Feb 12, 2009
Filed:
Aug 8, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/835433
Inventors:
Theresa Joy L. Tan - Cebu City, PH
Eduardo M. Gallofin, JR. - Bacolod City, PH
Aldrin B. Manlosa - Cebu City, PH
Archibald P. Sayo - Singapore, SG
Michael D. Stilz - Lexington KY, US
International Classification:
B41J 3/36
US Classification:
347109
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus include a handheld printer manipulated by an operator to print an image on a media. A controller correlates a location of a printhead to the image and causes printing or not, including referencing a memory of firing data for fluid firing actuators of the printhead. A position sensor provides input to the controller to assist in navigation. The controller figures an ideal position of a center of an actuator chip, defining the fluid firing actuators, and an actual position during use. Individual fluid firing actuators are known relative to the center by way of a calculated offset. Predicted positions, as well as ascertained velocities and accelerations are other noteworthy aspects. Resolving firing data for actual locations of each actuator is also contemplated.

Printing Cartridge Refill Method And Associated Cartridge Refill System

View page
US Patent:
20090153602, Jun 18, 2009
Filed:
Dec 18, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/958813
Inventors:
Thomas Daniel Brown - Frankfort KY, US
William Henry Reed - Lexington KY, US
Michael David Stilz - Lexington KY, US
International Classification:
B41J 29/38
US Classification:
347 7
Abstract:
A method for refilling a printing cartridge includes installing a printing cartridge in a cartridge refill system; establishing communication with a memory device associated with the printing cartridge to read cartridge data stored in the memory device; determining aspects of refilling of the printing cartridge based on at least a portion of the cartridge data; and refilling the printing cartridge based on a result of the determination.
