Latest Patents
One of Danny Lim's latest patents is titled "Printers and methods for detecting print media thickness therein." This invention involves a printer equipped with a support base on which print media travels. The printer includes a thickness detection module and a processor. The thickness detection module features a pinch arm assembly with a pinch arm that has first and second ends, an encoder, and a proximate dual channel encoder sensor. The first end of the pinch arm is biased toward the support base. The encoder, which has a number of circumferentially spaced line pairs, is located at the second end. The pinch arm and encoder are designed to rotate in response to the engagement of the pinch arm with at least a portion of the print media. The dual channel encoder sensor is capable of detecting the rotation direction and encoder count, outputting a signal that represents the encoder count. The encoder count refers to the number of circumferentially spaced line pairs that pass by the dual channel encoder sensor as the pinch arm and encoder rotate. The processor is communicatively coupled to the dual channel encoder sensor and is configured to receive the signal and calculate the print media thickness of the portion from the encoder count using a conversion factor.
