Abstract: A belt drive module and a corresponding method includes or employs a belt (10) that moves along a path, at least one support roller (12) or other structure that supports the belt as it moves along the path, a drive roller (11) that effects movement of the belt along the path, a tension roller (74) that applies a tension force to the belt in order to maintain engagement of the belt with the drive and/or support rollers, at least one processing station (e.g., an image processing station) disposed along the path that performs a process relative to a predetermined position of the belt, and a torque assist drive that applies a torque assist force (Td) at a location between the drive roller and the tension roller. Torque assist may be provided by a current limited DC motor or by a constant torque friction clutch applied to a roller (66), e.g., a stripper roller of an electrophotographic imaging system. Advantageously, the torque assist force (Td) facilitates accurate positioning of the belt (e.g., latent image registrations in a color imaging process employing multiple imaging processing stations) by reducing slippage between the drive roller and the belt that may be encountered due to belt wear, toner contamination and/or other debris.

Abstract: A single pass, multi-color electrophotographic printing machine architecture uses a vertically oriented photoconductive belt. Transfer of the toner powder images occur at the lowermost portion of the photoconductive belt. The photoconductive belt is elliptically shaped, having a major and a minor axis. N image recording stations are positioned adjacent an exterior surface of the photoconductive belt on one side of the major axis thereof. N-1 image recording stations are positioned adjacent the exterior surface of the photoconductive belt on the other side of the major axis thereof. The image recording stations record electrostatic latent images on the photoconductive belt. This architecture optimizes image registration while minimizing the overall height of the printing machine.

Abstract: Ein Verfahren zum Bilden eines dreidimensionalen Objekts verwendet einen 3D-Drucker, um ein gedrucktes Teil zu bilden, und ein Spritzgusssystem wird verwendet, um ein gegossenes Teil zu bilden, das am gedruckten Teil anliegt und das Bilden des dreidimensionalen Objekts vervollständigt. Das Verfahren beinhaltet das Betreiben eines Ausstoßkopfes eines 3D-Druckers, um Materialtropfen auf eine Platte auszustoßen, um das gedruckte Teil zu bilden, das Betreiben eines Betätigungselements, um das gedruckte Teil von der Platte zu einem Hohlraum einer Spritzgussform eines Spritzgusssystems zu bewegen, und das Betreiben von Spritzdüsen des Spritzgusssystems, um Material in den Hohlraum der Spritzgussform zu spritzen, um das gegossene Teil zu bilden, das mit dem gedruckten Teil verbunden ist, um das dreidimensionale Objekt zu bilden.
