Abstract: A multi-function device (MFD) is disclosed. For example, the MFD includes, a communication interface to establish a communication session with other MFDs within a community of MFDs, a processor, and a non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to determine a feature of the MFD is operating incorrectly, transmit a help message to the other MFDs within the community of MFDs, receive a configuration file for the feature that is operating incorrectly from a second MFD within the community of MFDs that has a health status of fully operational, upload the configuration file, determine the feature is operating correctly after the configuration file is uploaded, and update a health status of the MFD to fully operational.

Abstract: A method of inkjet printer operation produces a sneeze pattern having a uniform sneeze pattern portion and a tapered area portion within the uniform sneeze pattern to operate inkjets in the printer to eject ink drops within an image area of media sheets passing through the printer to maintain the operational status of the inkjets. A dynamic threshold is applied to a portion of an uniform sneeze pattern to produce the tapered area within the uniform sneeze pattern. The dynamic threshold is changed as a function of distance between a pixel in the portion of the uniform sneeze pattern and the closest edge of an image area of the media sheet on which the tapered area of the sneeze pattern is to be printed. A second threshold can also be changed to alter a volume of ink associated with a pixel in the tapered area within the uniform sneeze pattern.

Abstract: A three-dimensional (3D) metal object manufacturing apparatus is equipped with a liquid silicate application system to apply liquid silicate to a surface of a build platform prior to manufacture of a metal object. The liquid silicate layer is permitted to air dry and then the platform is heated to its operational temperature range for formation of a metal object with melted metal drops ejected by the apparatus. The liquid silicate layer forms a glassy, brittle layer on which the metal object is formed. This brittle layer is removed relatively easily with the object after the object is manufactured and the build platform is permitted to cool. The silicate layer improves the wetting of the surfaces of build platforms made with non-wetting materials, such as oxidized steel, while also preventing metal-to-metal welds with wetting materials, such as tungsten or nickel.

Abstract: A three-dimensional (3D) metal object manufacturing apparatus is equipped with a borate solution application system to either build support structures with a borate solution containing silica particles or to apply such a borate solution to a surface of a metal support structure prior to manufacture of a metal object feature that is supported by the support structure. The silica particles in the borate solution structure form a glassy, brittle structure on which the metal object feature is formed. This glassy, brittle structure is removed relatively easily from the object after the object is manufactured.

Abstract: A system and method for generating a secure digital copy of content associated with a non-fungible token (NFT). The system may include, be part of, or be in communication with a print device. The system will receive, from a requesting entity, a print request to print digital content that is associated with an NFT. The system will then access a user profile of the requesting entity to identify a digital wallet associated with the requesting entity. The system will determine whether the digital wallet indicates that the requesting entity owns the NFT. In response to determining that the digital wallet indicates that the requesting entity owns the NFT, the system will generate a print job that comprises a set of instructions to print the digital content, optionally with a verification code. The system may then cause the print device to print the digital content.

Abstract: The present disclosure discloses methods and systems for managing multiple scan requests received at a multi-function device. The method includes receiving a scan request from a remote computing device of a remote user. Before executing the scan request, two conditions are checked. It is checked if document is present on a scanning platform of the multi-function device and further it is checked if one or more activities on a user interface of the multi-function device, are being performed. Based on the presence of the document on the scanning platform and the one or more activities on the user interface, the scan request received from the remote user is disallowed. This way, multiple scanned requests are managed at the multi-function device.
