Automatic Ink Redispersion In The Intermediate Tank By Using Magnetic Fields, Hp Inc

Defensive Publications Series

When a supply is stored, the heavier pigments settle on the bottom part of the supply. Due to that,

prior to installing a new ink supply, it is necessary to do a certain number of shakes to ensure that the

ink is properly mixed.

In some printers, a printhead receives a stream of printing fluid from an Intermediate Tank, which is

supplied with ink from a supply tank by an ink pump. Depending on the Intermediate Tank orientation,

the heavier pigments settle on the deposit.

If the ink is not properly mixed, there would be depleted and enriched ink inside …

Process To Detect Air Leakages In A 3d Printer, Hp Inc

Defensive Publications Series

In 3D printers, the Powder fusion process occurs in a sealed environment called print chamber,

that is kept at negative pressure (relative to client room); the print chamber is sealed not only to

prevent undesired contamination of the client room, but also to avoid unwanted air leaks from

the client room (or by other zone of the 3D printer itself) to the print chamber. In fact, these air

leaks may cause unwanted airflows in the printing area: they cool down only a specific zone of

the printable area, changing the energy balance in this region and therefore affecting Part

Quality. …

Polymath Richard England To Join Jbs Advisory Board, Dan Shea

Journal of the Jussi Björling Societies of the USA & UK

In architectural circles. Malta's Richard England is famous for his work in the Mediterranean region where his buildings and designs have earned him numerous international awards. He also is a sculptor, published artist, poet, and philosopher whose work is widely admired, as you can see by going to any internet search engine and entering his name (with Malta, to gee to the right RE). But what brought him to my own attention first were his essays about opera and great singers published in internet sites like Grandi-Tenori and its online successor Opera Vivra (recommended!).

Human-Computer Interaction Research And Education--Crossing Boundaries Between Academic Research And Industry Practices, Yasushi Akiyama

Interface: The C3 Lab Knowledge Commons

In this paper, I will discuss my own experience and approaches to enhancing students' learning in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) classes by adopting an interdisciplinary approach that integrates academic research and industry practice. Due to the inherent interdisciplinarity of HCI, and to foster a set of "soft" skills known in Interdisciplinary Studies as the "cognitive toolkit," I invite expertise from the other departments at my university as well as industry professionals to give lectures, facilitate workshops, and oversee projects. These collaborations have produced several insights and have had a positive impact on the participants.

The Health Sciences And Technology Academy: Re-Imagining Programmatic Delivery During The Covid-19 Pandemic, Sherron Mckendall, Alan Mckendall, Summer Kuhn, Catherine Morton, Mary Mcmillion, Sean Freeland

Faculty & Staff Scholarship

Out-of-school time academic/STEM programs provide educational enrichment to a myriad of student populations with some designed to assist those underrepresented and at-risk who desire to purse post-secondary studies. One such program in West Virginia (WV) is the Health Sciences and Technology Academy (HSTA), which provides hands-on, in person and engaging educational enrichment with the intent to increase the college going rates of Appalachia’s most vulnerable youth. In March 2020, HSTA key personnel encountered the task of redesigning program delivery due to the immediate shutdown of all in person operations resulting from the novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-19 (COVID-19) pandemic. This paper discusses …

Diabetes Distress Among Dyads Of Patients And Their Health Supporters: Links With Functional Support, Metabolic Outcomes, And Cardiac Risk, Aaron A. Lee, Michele Heisler, Ranak Trivedi, D. Scott Obrosky, Maria K. Mor, John D. Piette, Ann Marie Rosland

Faculty and Student Publications

BACKGROUND: Patients with diabetes (PWD) often experience diabetes distress which is associated with worse self-management and glycemic control. In contrast, PWD who receive support from family and friends (supporters) have better diabetes outcomes. PURPOSE: To examine the associations of PWD diabetes distress and supporters' distress about PWDs' diabetes with supporters' roles and PWD cardiometabolic outcomes. METHODS: We used baseline data from 239 adults with Type 2 diabetes and their supporters participating in a longitudinal trial. PWD and supporter diabetes distress (high vs. low) were determined using the Problem Areas in Diabetes Scale-5. Outcomes included PWD-reported help from supporters with self-care …

Pareto Optimality And Compromise For Environmental Water Management, Sarah E. Null, Marcelo A. Olivares, Felipe Cordera, Jay R. Lund

Watershed Sciences Faculty Publications

Water management usually considers economic and ecological objectives, and involves tradeoffs, conflicts, compromise, and cooperation among objectives. Pareto optimality often is championed in water management, but its relationships with the mathematical representation of objectives, and implications of tradeoffs for Pareto optimal decisions, are rarely examined. We evaluate the mathematical properties of optimized tradeoffs to identify promising regions for compromise, suggest strategies for reducing conflicts, and better understand whether decision-makers are more or less likely to cooperate on environmental water allocations. Cooperation and compromise among objectives can be easier when tradeoff curves are concave and more adversarial when tradeoff curves are …

Thermal Performance Of Diamond Field-Effect Transistors, James Spencer Lundh, Daniel Shoemaker, A. Glen Birdwell, James D. Weil, Leonard M. De La Cruz, Pankaj B. Shah, Kevin G. Crawford, Tony G. Ivanov, Hiu Yung Wong, Sukwon Choi

Faculty Research, Scholarly, and Creative Activity

In this report, the thermal performance of a hydrogen (H)-terminated diamond field-effect transistor (FET) is investigated using Raman spectroscopy and electrothermal device modeling. First, the thermal conductivity (κ_diamond) of the active diamond channel was determined by measuring the temperature rise of transmission line measurement structures under various heat flux conditions using nanoparticle-assisted Raman thermometry. Using this approach, κ_diamond was estimated to be 1860 W/m K with a 95% confidence interval ranging from 1610 to 2120 W/m K. In conjunction with measured electrical output characteristics, this κ was used as an input parameter for an electrothermal device model …

What Does It Mean To Be Deaf? Changing Meanings Of Deafness, Communication Technology, And Beliefs About Normality In The Us, Kathryn Elizabeth Burrows

Dissertations and Theses

How deafness is perceived as a problem by society dictates what types of technologies are leveraged to address the problem, and, conversely, available technologies shape how deafness is perceived. In this dissertation, I draw on multiple methods to explore the meanings of deafness in the US since the early 18^th century to the present, examine how the meanings of deafness in those eras shaped deaf technology, and assess how available technologies shaped how deafness was understood. Using primary and secondary historical sources, I identify that every era identifies a different "problem of being deaf" and it is that problem …

Towards Generalizable Network Anomaly Detection Models, Md Arifuzzaman, Shafkat Islam, Engin Arslan

Computer Science Faculty Research & Creative Works

Finding the root causes of network performance anomalies is critical to satisfy the quality-of-service requirements. In this paper, we introduce machine learning (ML) models to process TCP socket statistics to pinpoint underlying reasons of performance issues such as packet loss and jitter. More importantly, we introduce a novel feature engineering method to transform network-dependent metrics (e.g., total packet count and round-trip time) in training datasets into network independent forms to be able to transfer the models to new network settings without requiring retraining them. Experimental results in various network settings show that the proposed feature engineering approach improves the performance …
