Abstract: A system and method for remotely updating messages displayed on a plurality of low power consuming electronic display devices. The system comprises a server computer (101) remotely located from a bistable display device (105) which is in wireless communication with a computer network (206) connected to the server computer (101) . The server computer (101) manages the updating and display of messages on the display device (105) by providing new content and scheduling the display of the content. The display device (105) operates in low power mode (424) except when changing the message display or communicating with the server computer (101).

Abstract: A belt drive module and a corresponding method includes or employs a belt that moves along a path, at least one support roller or other structure that supports the belt as it moves along the path, a drive roller that effects movement of the belt along the path, a tension roller 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 T d 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, e.g., a stripper roller of an electrophotographic imaging system. Advantageously, the torque assist force T d 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-colour electrophotographic printing machine, comprises a photoconductive member (10) defining a timing aperture, the member moving along a path in a printing machine and a plurality of imaging devices (C,D), each one of the plurality of imaging devices writing a latent image on the photoconductive member (10). The system further includes a sensor (100), located adjacent the photoconductive member (10), to sense the aperture in the photoconductive member (10) as it passes the sensor (100) and generate a signal indicative thereof and a control device (90), which generates a timing signal for each of the plurality of imaging devices (C, D) as a function of the signal generated by the sensor (100) and a plurality of predetermined parameters.

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.
