7787162, Aug 31, 2010
Filed:
Nov 16, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/601330
Inventors:
Martin Pepe - Henrietta NY, US
Assignee:
Xerox Corporation - Norwalk CT
International Classification:
H04N 1/04
G01D 15/14
US Classification:
358514, 358480, 358475, 347224
Abstract:
A technique for achieving a smart start of scan (SOS) detector that is related with line scan timing on raster output scanners by expanding the available functions to include beam size and position. A start of scan detection system adapted to provide beam size and position control. The system includes a CPU, a data source and laser driver managed by the CPU, and a multiple element pre-patterned detector managed by the CPU and enabling a sensor pattern through which laser beams from the laser driver are passed and detected. According to a method for managing beam size and position in a image processing system, a multiple element pre-patterned detector adapted to enable a sensor pattern is provided wherein at least one laser beam is passed through said sensor pattern enabled by the multiple element pre-patterned detector, analyzed and used by the image processing system to adjust beam size and position.

Systems And Methods For Controlling Polygon Induced Banding

US Patent:
8233021, Jul 31, 2012
Filed:
Mar 3, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/716447
Inventors:
Robert Herloski - Webster NY, US
Martin Pepe - West Henrietta NY, US
Assignee:
Xerox Corporation - Norwalk CT
International Classification:
B41J 15/14
B41J 27/00
US Classification:
347243, 347259, 347261
Abstract:
Systems and methods for reducing the degradation of image quality due to banding in an image processing system by detection of both integrated intensity and peak intensity of a laser beam reflected from the polygon mirror facet(s) of a motor polygon assembly. A banding detector is adapted to enable measurement of peak intensity and integrated intensity of the laser beam(s) reflected from the polygon mirror facet(s). Polygon facet induced banding can be determined from the measurements and can be used for sorting/manufacturing raster output scanners and/or compensating for the induced banding.

US Patent:
8334887, Dec 18, 2012
Filed:
Mar 25, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/731601
Inventors:
Jess R. Gentner - Rochester NY, US
Martin J. Pepe - West Henrietta NY, US
Timothy J. Clark - Marion NY, US
Assignee:
Xerox Corporation - Norwalk CT
International Classification:
B41J 2/435
B41J 2/47
B41J 2/455
G01D 15/14
US Classification:
347235, 347224, 347225, 347233, 347250
Abstract:
An apparatus () and method () that determines beam delays in a printing device is disclosed. The apparatus can include a photosensitive surface () and a raster output scanner () optically coupled to the photosensitive surface, an integrated scan detector () configured to detect the beams from the raster output scanner and configured to produce a signal based on the beams detected from the raster output scanner, and a beam calibration controller () coupled to the integrated scan detector. The beam calibration controller can be configured to determine at least one beam delay between the first optical emitter and the at least one second optical emitter based on signals from the integrated scan detector and can also be configured to delay operation between the first optical emitter and the at least one second optical emitter based on the at least one beam delay.

Motor Polygon Assembly (Mpa) Facet Reflectivity Mapping

View page
US Patent:
7995089, Aug 9, 2011
Filed:
Nov 16, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/601498
Inventors:
Martin Pepe - Henrietta NY, US
Assignee:
Xerox Corporation - Norwalk CT
International Classification:
B41J 27/00
US Classification:
347261
Abstract:
A technique for minimizing motor polygon assembly output reflectivity using real time facet reflectivity measurements and mapping. An automatic power control sensor manages laser beams produced by the laser source associated with the system during overscan periods ‘outside’ of defined printing time. Errors are then recorded internal to the raster output scanner to minimize overall setup in the image output terminal.

Electronic Color Printing System

View page
US Patent:
49774115, Dec 11, 1990
Filed:
Nov 6, 1989
Appl. No.:
7/432012
Inventors:
Martin J. Pepe - West Henrietta NY
Assignee:
Xerox Corporation - Stamford CT
International Classification:
G01D 1516
H04N 146
US Classification:
346108
Abstract:
A line-at-a-time printer is realized by directing a collimated light beam through an interaction area of an electro-optic light modulator while successive sheets of data samples are sequentially applied to electrodes positioned across the width of the modulator. A modulated line latent image is formed on the surface of a photoreceptor, the photoreceptor being indexed to create successive exposed, modulated line images on its surface. Electronic registration control of successive images, for example in a color printing process, is achieved by a control system which triggers the light beam source between the time interval during which data signals are loaded into the modulator. In one embodiment the pulse sourcing is accomplished through a feedback loop which includes a sensor for monitoring movement of the photoreceptor and application of the light source pulses and the data samples.

Plural Belt Document Feeder With Optimum Optical Properties

US Patent:
49030744, Feb 20, 1990
Filed:
Apr 12, 1989
Appl. No.:
7/336992
Inventors:
William L. Lama - Webster NY
Robert P. Loce - Rochester NY
Martin Pepe - West Henrietta NY
Eleanor Whitte - Rochester NY
Robert P. Siegel - Penfield NY

Peter Watson - Stevenage Herts, GB2
Assignee:
Xerox Corporation - Stamford CT
International Classification:
G03B 2764
US Classification:
355 76
Abstract:
A document feeder is provided for presenting documents to the platen of a copier for copying with a vacuum belt platen transport system having document transporting belts movable under a substantially planar vaccum plenum backing. Also included is a vacuum system for applying a partial vacuum to a document sheet being transported by the movable belts over the platen. Show-through and show-around problems are reduced by optically mtching the belts and the plenum backing. In the preferred embodiment, the background surface is slightly roughend and made to be approximately 92% reflective to light during image exposure. The belts are composed of a urethane material which is approximately 16% transmissive but provides a 91% reflectance when moving along the plenum surface.
