Latest Patents
One of Samuel's latest patents is titled "Methods of moving a media sheet from an input tray and into a media path within an image forming device." This application outlines methods for effectively moving a media sheet through the media path of an image forming device. In one embodiment, a pick mechanism with a pick roll drives the media sheet at an elevated speed towards the nip, then slows down to reduce nip shock, thereby preventing unintentional double sheet feeds. This innovative approach enhances media throughput significantly.
Another notable patent is "Method of determining a relative speed between independently driven members in an image forming apparatus." This method involves transporting a print medium using a print media transport assembly and determining the relative speed between two separately driven members. By detecting electrical characteristics of the motor when the print medium is present, this invention optimizes the operation of image forming devices.
