Bigger tank help needed KTM 625 SXC
I need a larger tank atleast 4 gallon for my 625 SXC. I've head the IMS has issues. Does anyone know where to buy a tank at a reasonable rate?
Thanks in advance,
I understood that both the 12 ltr tank from an LC 4 640 and the KTM 18 ltr tank fits the SXC. You will also need the seat from the LC4 640 though.
As max mentioned, the 18L tank bolts right on and the seat is required, but what a great excuse to upgrade to the "comfort" seat. If you use this tank, you will also need to order a locking gas cap and the appropriate fuel line as it is molded so as not to kink.
18L tank part#58407013400 $369.00
Comfort Seat part#57907340000 $93.95
Gas Cap part#58407008100 $69.64
Fuel line part#58407016000 $4.34
KTM has everthing in stock and available.
I was afraid I would have go that route. I just don't have an extra $500
laying around for a gas tank and seat at the moment. Thanks for the advice and prices.
I've got the IMS on my bike. Had to do some re-molding around the radiators with the heat gun and on the nub on the bottom of the seat. There's a gap between the edge of the seat and the tank that doesn;t look so good. But it does what it's supposed to, hold gas. You'll need to buy some new fuel line to as the petcock is on the other side.
I've also got the IMS on mine. I agree with soloyosh about needing some heat gun work to fit it and the gap at the seat, but at $200 instead of $500 for the KTM 18l, I think its a reasonable option.
I've been wrestling with this one for a while and can't/won't make my wallet cough up the $500.
Can either of you guys with the IMS tanks snap a pic or two and post them? While I've seen a few pics of SXC's w/ the IMS 4gal tank I wouldn;t mind seeing how yours turned out. Otherwise it's gonna be a couple $35 Kolpin fuel packs in the panniers....
comfort seat and footpeg options
I am not trying to hijack your thread but I was wondering if anyne can tell me if thew comfort seat is any better than stock. I just bought a 625 SXC today.
Also, has anyone added rear foot pegs for riding 2 up?
Here ya go, ya better hurry though. I havent seen one this cheap before!
Yes, the comfort seat is way better than the stocker. I used to get monkey bum after about 1/2 a day on the stock SXC seat. With the comfort seat I can ride for a couple of days sitting down & me bum is as good as new:evil
I lashed out & bought the 18 litre KTM tank as then I had a good excuse to get the seat as well:evil Best thing I ever did. It holds more like 20 litres (did 300kms on 1 tank -drained it & still had about a litre left) You only notice the extra weight when the tank is chockas full & I forget about it after about 5 minutes. Still nice & narrow -easy to stand up. Spend the dollars. Five minutes into the first ride after fitting you will have forgotten how much you spent & will be laughing at all those suckers walking around with their legs spread at the end of a ride:D :D
18l tank
Gday the 18L KTM tank bolts straight on with the standard 625SXC seat.
The Adventure seat is needed with the 28L tank.
Keep checking on Ebay. Those tanks come up probably monthly.
It fits like a glove on the SXC,
Komfort seat, you can't believe how much of a difference it makes.
I've had mine now for almost 3 years, a little dished (broken down foam)
right in front of the neck of the gas tank, but still very comfy.
Have a buddy who did the exact same swap, borrowed my 18L tank to see if it fits, now got almost 5 k miles on his SXC, comutes 30 - 40 miles a day, loves it!
yes on the pegs
My buddy swiped my pegs and mounts off my LC4 e 2001 and mounted them on the 625 sxc.
SXC 18l + comfort seat
I added the 18l tank and confort seat last year and have been enjoying the benefits. The tank is 5.5 gallons + (20-21l) despite the 18l label. The seat turns the bike into an multiple day traveler even for a candy ass. The only downside is the stock suspension is a bit overwhelmed by the extra weight. Takes 5 minutes to swap back to the stock trail setup. As a side note, I had to modify the comfort seat to fit the tank on my 04 SXC, 10 minute DIY job.
Check new Acerbis tank 6.6 gal
I don't know if it will fit your bike, but Acerbis has come out recently with this one. As soon as I can confirm it will fit my 2002 520 EXC, I'm getting one. Its seems to retail for $250.

How the hell can they allow a game so bug riddled to be released? That's not even the worst part, it's the fact they've released one patch in over a year, and even then it never addressed the major issues. Finally sent the game back today. 4 trophies away from platinum. I always had to rely to jump on other players' games to progress but the last straw came when I always lost connection with the host. I needed one scroll for the lidless eye trophy and I run into the carm dum captain glitch where he never shows up, and he has the scroll. Platinum is impossible with these glitches! What we're these incompetent fools thinking when they released this?! I guess my question is, have plans for a patch have been utterly scrapped then? I assume so. Morons.

I've heard about the method but I wasn't quite 100% certain how it works. Do you have to start afresh and do it, or can you already be more than halfway through your play through and do it then?

As long as your not glitched, you can do it.

I bought this game on their name, and was disappointed because it is the worst game they've made... The characters basically can not be customized at all, when only the races and genders should have been locked, and you should have had free reign to alter them like crazy otherwise. Also, you couldn't explore anything. The game is far too linear. All I saw while playing this was "missed opportunity."
I don't expect an open-world setting, in fact I get bored of those more quickly than linear ones. I just wanted a LotR coat of paint over a Champions of Norrath framework.

I had problems with the glitches as well. There are work arounds though.
I had gotten the 5th scroll in mirkwood and my concentration was on the fact that I was trying to get the scrolls. The problem being for some reason or other the game didn't have saving the wizard as my mission to complete. So at the end of mirkwood I couldn't progress. I went online to find someone who was working on mirkwood and jumped in.
I got past mirkwood that way but the problem is they only had 3 of the scrolls and it overided my save with that.
I fixed that problem by jumping around from player to player online who were working on urgost lair to see if they had 5 of the scrolls and "infect myself" with having them as well.
Snowblind needed to tie getting past chapters to anyone that is playing together online but not the subquests. It was nice getting the multiple quests trophies by joining others but I'd have preferred having to have done those on my own than have someone elses side quests deter mine.
(Topic Creator)2 years ago#7
Update: Finally Platinum'd. I can confirm that the load, quit, and reload theory does work, as well as possibly not going online while you're going for single player trophies. Prevention from playing online as well as using the load theory has seen me complete the game all the way to legendary glitch free :) It's worth noting that I did delete my previous glitched save and started all over again, so if anyone has had glitches and wants the platinum for this still, then they probably should delete their save and begin anew before trying this theory out.

Salma Hayek admits she has become a pushy mother as she will do anything to make her daughter Valentina happy.
Salma Hayek can be a pushy mother.
The 'Savages' actress used to think she was a ''laid back'' mum until she had a party for her daughter Valentina - who turned five today (21.09.12) - and found she was pushing through crowds of children to make sure her little girl had a candy.
She said: ''I make an effort to be laid back and often I want to giver her space, and then I catch myself doing things. In Paris I had a birthday party with a piñata with kids, who were Mexican, they were boys and they were older.
''She was really concerned she wouldn't be able to take a candy when the piñata broke. I said, 'Don't worry'. When the piñata broke, she couldn't get in, I was pushing them, trying to get in. And then I caught myself and I thought, 'I've turned into one of those mothers!' I moved away. I think I'm a bit of both. I think we all are.''
Despite Valentina being the daughter of an Oscar-nominated actress and a billionaire father - French fashion mogul Francois Henri Pinault - Salma thinks her offspring wants to become a gymnast because of the London Olympics.
Speaking on UK TV show 'Lorraine', she said: ''She's into the gymnastics because of the Olympics. It's amazing how she points her toes, like a little bird or something. She's doing it every day.''

The invention relates to a compact printer system able to print full-color, business card size documents from a device about the size of a pen. The system includes various hot-connectable modules that provide a range of functions. In particular the invention relates to a capping mechanism to prevent ink drying in the printer.
Reference may be had to co-pending applications claiming priority from Australian Provisional Patent Application number PQ0560 dated May 25, 1999. The co-pending applications describe related modules and methods for implementing the compact printer system. The co-pending applications are as follows:
Microelectronic manufacturing techniques have led to the miniaturization of numerous devices. Mobile phones, personal digital assistant devices, and digital cameras are very common examples of the miniaturization trend.
One device that has not seen the advantage of microelectronic manufacturing techniques is the printer. Commercially available printers are large compared to many of the devices they could support. For instance, it is impractical to carry a color printer for the purpose of instantly printing photographs taken with known compact digital cameras.
A compact printhead has been described in co-pending United States Patent Applications filed simultaneously to the present application and hereby incorporated by cross reference:
Most color printers use ink for printing. The ink is selectively delivered through nozzles forming part of the printhead. Ink drying in the ink nozzles is a common problem with ink jet printers. It is, known to provide a cap for the nozzles to substantially prevent evaporation and thereby minimize the problems of dry ink blocking the nozzles. The problem causes particular difficulties in a compact printer due to the inaccessibility of the printhead. The known capping mechanisms obstruct the paper path in printers having a stationary printhead and moving paper. While cleaning remains an option, it is preferable to prevent the problem of dry ink as far as possible.
In one form, the invention resides in a nozzle capping mechanism for a printhead of a compact printer having a powered roller for moving printable media past said printhead, said mechanism comprising:
at least one capping arm operativy associated with the powered roller; and
a cap supported by said capping arm and movable with said capping arm between a position engaging the printhead and a position spaced from said printhead;
wherein said cap rests in contact with said printhead and the capping arm moves said cap away from said printhead when said powered roller rotates.
Further features of the invention will be evident from the following description.
In order to assist with describing preferred embodiments of the invention, reference will be made to the following figures in which:
FIG. 1 is a printer module;
FIG. 2 is a camera module;
FIG. 3 is a memory module;
FIG. 4 is a communication module;

FIG. 22 shows the underside of the drive assembly of the Printer Module of FIG. 1; and
FIG. 23 shows a top three quarter view of the drive assembly of FIG. 22.
Referring to FIGS. 1 to 12, there are shown various modules that together form a compact printer system. Individual modules can be attached and detached from the compact printer configuration to allow a user-definable solution to business-card sized printing. Images can also be transferred from one compact printer to another without the use of a secondary computer system. Modules have a minimal user-interface to allow straightforward interaction.
A compact printer system configuration consists of a number of compact printer modules connected together. Each compact printer module has a function that contributes to the overall functionality of the particular compact printer configuration. Each compact printer module is typically shaped like part of a pen, physically connecting with other compact printer modules to form the complete pen-shaped device. The length of the compact printer device depends on the number and type of compact printer modules connected. The functionality of a compact printer configuration depends on the compact printer modules in the given configuration.
The compact printer modules connect both physically and logically. The physical connection allows modules to be connected in any order, and the logical connection is taken care of by the compact printer Serial Bus—a bus that provides power, allows the modules to self configure and provides for the transfer of data.
In terms of physical connection, most compact printer modules consist of a central body, a male connector at one end, and a female connector at the other. Since most modules have both a male and female connector, the modules can typically be connected in any. order. Certain modules only have a male or a female connector, but this is determined by the function of the module. Adaptor modules allow these single-connector modules to be connected at either end of a given compact printer configuration.
A four wire physical connection between all the compact printer modules provides the logical connection between them in the form of the compact printer Serial Bus. The compact printer Serial Bus provides power to each module, and provides the means by which data is transferred between modules. Importantly, the compact printer Serial Bus and accompanying protocol provides the means by which the compact printer system auto-configures, reducing the user-interface burden on the end-user.
Compact printer modules can be grouped into three types:
image processing modules including a Printer Module (FIG. 1), a Camera Module (FIG. 2), and a Memory Module (FIG. 3). Image processing modules are primarily what sets the compact printer system apart from other pen-like devices. Image processing modules capture, print, store or manipulate photographic images;
housekeeping modules including an Adapter Module (FIG. 10), an Effects Module (FIG. 8), a Communications Module (FIG. 4), and a Timer Module (FIG. 6). Housekeeping modules provide services to other modules or extended functionality to other modules; and
isolated modules including a Pen Module (FIG. 11) and a Laser Module (FIG. 7). Isolated modules are those that attach to the compact printer system but are completely independent of any other module. They do not necessarily require power, and may even provide their own power. Isolated Modules are defined because the functionality they provide is typically incorporated into other pen-like devices.
Although housekeeping modules and isolated modules are useful components in a compact printer system, they are extras in a system dedicated to image processing and photographic manipulation. Life size (1:1) illustrations of the compact printer modules are shown in FIGS. 1 to 12, and example configurations produced by connecting various modules together are shown in FIGS. 13 to 16.
FIG. 1 shows a printer module that incorporates a compact printhead described in co-pending United States Patent Applications listed in the Background section of this application, incorporated herewith by reference, and referred to herewith as a Memjet printhead. The Memjet printhead is a drop-on-demand 1600 dpi inkjet printer that produces bi-level dots in up to 4 colors to produce a printed page of a particular width. Since the printhead prints dots at 1600 dpi, each dot is approximately 22.5 μm in diameter, and spaced 15.875 μm apart. Because the printing is bi-level, the input image should be dithered or error-diffused for best results. Typically a Memjet printhead for a particular application is page-width. This enables the printhead to be stationary and allows the paper to move past the printhead. A Memjet printhead is composed of a number of identical � inch Memjet segments.
The printer module 10 comprises a body 11 housing the Memjet printhead. Power is supplied by a three volt battery housed in battery compartment 12. The printhead is activated to commence printing when a business card (or similar sized printable media) is inserted into slot 13. Male connector 14 and female connector 15 facilitate connection of other modules to the printer module 10.
FIG. 2 shows a camera module 20. The camera module provides a point-and-shoot camera component to the compact printer system as a means of capturing images. The camera module comprises a body 21 having a female connector 22. A lens 23 directs an image to an image sensor and specialized image processing chip within the camera 24. A conventional view finder 25 is provided as well as a lens cap 26. An image is captured when the Take button 27 is pushed. Captured images are transferred to the Printer Module 10 for subsequent printing, manipulation, or storage. The Camera Module also contains a self-timer mode similar to that found on regular cameras.
FIG. 3 shows a Memory Module 30 comprising a body 31, LCD 32, IN button 33, OUT button 34 and SELECT button 35. The Memory Module 30 is a standard module used for storing photographic images, captured by the Camera 20. The memory module stores 48 images, each of which can be accessed either at full resolution or at thumbnail resolution. Full resolution provides read and write access to individual images, and thumbnail resolution provides read access to 16 images at once in thumbnail form.
The Memory Module 30 attaches to other modules via a female connector 36 or male connector 37. The male and female connectors allow the module to be connected at either end of a configuration. Power is provided from the Printer Module 10 via the Serial Bus.
A Communications Module 40 is shown in FIG. 4. The communications module 40 consists of a connector 41 and a cable 42 that terminates in an appropriate connector for a computer port, such as a USB port, RS232 serial port or parallel port. The Communications Module 40 allows the compact printer system to be connected to a computer. When so connected, images can be transferred between the computer and the various modules of the compact printer system. The communications module allows captured images to be downloaded to the computer, and new images for printing to be uploaded into the printer module 10.
A Flash Module 50 is shown in FIG. 5. The Flash Module 50 is used to generate a flash with flash cell 51 when taking photographs with the Camera Module 20. The Flash Module attaches to other modules via female connector 52 and male connector 53. It contains its own power source. The Flash Module is automatically selected by the Camera Module when required. A simple switch allows the Flash Module to be explicitly turned off to maximize battery life.
FIG. 6 shows a Timer Module 60 that is used to automate the taking of multiple photos with the Camera Module 20, each photo separated by a specific time interval. The captured photos are stored in Memory Module 30. Any flash requirements are handled by the Camera Module 20, and can therefore be ignored by the Timer Module. The Timer Module 60 consists of a body 61 housing a LCD 62, START/STOP button 63 and UNITS button 64. A SELECT button 65 allows the user to select time units and the number of units are set by UNITS button 64. The Timer Module 60 includes a male connector 66 and female connector 67. The Timer Module takes its power from the Printer Module 10 via the Serial Bus.
A Laser Module 70 is shown in FIG. 7. The Laser Module 70 consists of a body 71 containing a conventional laser pointer operated by button 72. As the Laser Module is a terminal module it only has one connector, which in the example is a male connector 73. The Laser Module is an isolated module, in that it does not perform any image capture, storage, or processing. It exists as a functional addition to the compact printer system. It is provided because laser pointer services are typically incorporated into other pen-like devices. The Laser Module contains its own power supply and does not appear as a device on the Serial Bus.
The Effects Module shown in FIG. 8 is an image processing module. It allows a user to select a number of effects and applies them to the current image stored in the Printer Module 10. The effects include borders, clip-art, captions, warps, color changes, and painting styles. The Effects Module comprises a body 81 housing custom electronics and a LCD 82. A CHOOSE button 83 allows a user to choose between a number of different types of effects. A SELECT button 84 allows the user to select one effect from the number of effects of the chosen type. Pressing the APPLY button 85 applies the effect to image stored in the Printer Module 10. The Effects Module obtains power from the Serial Bus. Male connector 86 and female connector 87 allow the Effects Module to be connected to other compact printer system modules.
FIG. 9 shows a Character Module 90 that is a special type of Effects Module (described above) that only contains character clip-art effects of a given topic or genre. Examples include The Simpsons�, Star Wars�, Batman�, and Dilbert� as well as company specific modules for McDonalds� etc. As such it is an image processing module. It consists of a body 91 housing custom electronics and a LCD 92. SELECT button 93 allows the user to choose the effect that is to be applied with APPLY button 94. The Character Module obtains power from the Serial Bus through male connector 95 and female connector 96.
The Adaptor Module 100, shown in FIG. 10, is a female/female connector that allows connection between two modules that terminate in male connectors. A male/male connector (not shown) allows connection between two modules that terminate in female connectors. The Adaptor Module is a housekeeping module, in that it facilitates the use of other modules, and does not perform any specific processing of its own.
All "through" modules have a male connector at one end, and a female connector at the other end. The modules can therefore be chained together, with each module connected at either end of the chain. However some modules, such as the Laser Module 70, are terminating modules, and therefore have either a male or female connector only. Such single-connector modules can only be connected at one end of the chain. If two such modules are to be connected at the one time, an Adaptor Module 100 is required.
FIG. 11 shows a Pen Module 110 which is a pen in a module form. It is an isolated module in that it attaches to the compact printer system but is completely independent of any other module. It does not consume or require any power. The Pen Module is defined because it is a convenient extension of a pen shaped, pen sized device. It may also come with a cap 111. The cap may be used to keep terminating connectors clean in the case where the chain ends with a connector rather than a terminating module.
To assist with accurately feeding a business card sized print media into slot 13 of the printer module 10, a dispenser module 120 is provided as shown in FIG. 12. The dispenser module 120 comprises a body 121 that holds a store of business card sized print media. A Printer Module 10 locates into socket 122 on the dispenser module 120. When correctly aligned, a card dispensed from the dispenser module by slider 123 enters slot 13 and is printed.
In the sense that a minimum configuration compact printer system must be able to print out photos, a minimum compact printer configuration contains at least a Printer Module 10. The Printer Module holds a single photographic image that can be printed out via its Memjet printer. It also contains the 3V battery required to power the compact printer system.
In this minimum configuration, the user is only able to print out photos. Each time a user inserts a business card 130 into the slot in the Printer Module, the image in the Printer Module is printed onto the card. The same image is printed each time a business card is inserted into the printer. In this minimum configuration there is no way for a user to change the image that is printed. The dispenser module 120 can be used to feed cards 130 into the Printer Module with a minimum of fuss, as shown in FIG. 13.
By connecting a Camera Module 20 to the minimum configuration compact printer system the user now has an instant printing digital camera in a pen, as shown in FIG. 14. The Camera Module 20 provides the mechanism for capturing images and the Printer Module 10 provides the mechanism for printing them out. The battery in the Printer Module provides power for both the camera and the printer.
When the user presses the "Take" button 27 on the Camera Module 20, the image is captured by the camera 24 and transferred to the Printer Module 10. Each time a business card is inserted into the printer the captured image is printed out. If the user presses "Take" on the Camera Module again, the old image in the Printer Module is replaced by the new image.
If the Camera Module is subsequently detached from the compact printer system, the captured image remains in the Printer Module, and can be printed out as many times as desired. The Camera Module is simply there to capture images to be placed in the Printer Module.
FIG. 15 shows a further configuration in which a Memory Module 30 is connected to the configuration of FIG. 14. In the embodiment of FIG. 15, the user has the ability to transfer images between the Printer Module 10 and a storage area contained in the Memory Module 30. The user selects the image number on the Memory Module, and then either sends that image to the Printer Module (replacing whatever image was already stored there), or brings the current image from the Printer Module to the specified image number in the Memory Module. The Memory Module also provides a way of sending sets of thumbnail images to the Printer Module.
Multiple Memory Modules can be included in a given system, extending the number of images that can be stored. A given Memory Module can be disconnected from one compact printer system and connected to another for subsequent image printing.
With the Camera Module 20 attached to a Memory Module/Printer Module compact printer system, as shown in FIG. 15, the user can "Take" an image with the Camera Module, then transfer it to the specified image number in the Memory Module. The captured images can then be printed out in any order.
By connecting a Communications Module 40 to the minimum configuration compact printer system, the user gains the ability to transfer images between a PC and the compact printer system. FIG. 16 shows the configuration of FIG. 15 with the addition of a Communications Module 40. The Communications Module makes the Printer Module 10 and any Memory Modules 30 visible to an external computer system. This allows the download or uploading of images. The communications module also allows computer control of any connected compact printer modules, such as the Camera Module 20.
In the general case, the Printer Module holds the "current" image, and the other modules function with respect to this central repository of the current image. The Printer Module is therefore the central location for image interchange in the compact printer system, and the Printer Module provides a service to other modules as specified by user interaction.
A given module may act as an image source. It therefore has the ability to transfer an image to the Printer Module. A different module may act as an image store. It therefore has the ability to read the image from the Printer Module. Some modules act as both image store and image source. These modules can both read images from and write images to the Printer Module's current image.
Detailed views of the Printer Module 10 are shown in FIGS. 17 and 18. The Printer Module 10 is the central. module in the compact printer system. It contains a 2-inch Memjet printhead 16, a Cyan/Magenta/Yellow ink cartridge 17, the current image, stored in flash memory on the printhead and a power source in the form of a 3V battery 12 a in the battery compartment 12. With regards to processing, the Printer Module 10 contains a controller 101 that incorporates an image processing chip to print the stored image in high quality, and a QA chip for ensuring the ink cartridge 17 does not run dry.
The Printer Module 10 can, be used as a stand-alone printer of a single image (such as business cards), or can be used in conjunction with other modules to print a variety of images.
Looking in detail at FIG. 17, the body 11 of the printer module is in three parts being a lid 11 a, base 11 b and chassis 11 c. Printhead 16 with filter 16 a fits into the chassis 11 c. Powered rollers 18 a are driven by motor and gearbox 103. Neutral rollers 18 b fit into ink cartridge 17 and guide a card past the printhead 16. Springs 18 c (FIG. 19) urge the neutral rollers 18 b towards the powered rollers 18 a. The ink cartridge 17 is located beyond the rollers 18 so that the card passes between the printhead 16 and the ink cartridge 17. Ink inlets 105 provide communication between the ink cartridge 17 and the printhead 16. Micro-moulded channels 106 in the chassis 11 c distribute the ink from the ink inlets 105 to the length of the printhead 16.
Serial bus 104 provides power and data between the printer module 10 and other modules connected to male connector 14 and female connector 15. The serial bus 104 picks up power from the battery 12 a and signals from the controller 101.
Looking at FIG. 19, to print an image, a user simply inserts a business card into the input slot 13 of the Printer Module. Sensor 102 detects the insertion and the motor and gearbox 103 activates powered rollers 18 a to carry the card through the module with neutral rollers 18 b. A tab film 107 provides signal connection from the sensor 102 to the controller 101 and hence to the motor and gearbox 103. A wedge 108 holds the tab film 107 against the controller 101 to make a signal connection.
The printed card is ejected from the output slot 13 a of the module over a time period of 1 second. There is no on/off switch—the act of inserting the card is the effective "on" switch for the duration of a print.
To reduce the chance of ink drying in the printhead 16 a capping mechanism 19 is provided to cap the ink nozzles in the printhead. The capping mechanism 19 comprises a capping arm 191 supporting a cap in the form of adjacent elastomeric seals 193. The elastomeric seals are suitably formed as a continuous elastomeric ring that is glued to the end of the capping arm. A blotter 192 is located at the end of the capping arm between the seals. The blotter soaks up ink ejected from the printhead during cleaning.
As shown in FIGS. 20 to 23, a drive gear 194 is operatively associated with both of the powered rollers 18 a to move the capping arm. 191 out of the path of the card for printing. The drive gear 194 is driven directly by the motor 103 a and powers both drive rollers 18 a. The capping arm 191 is moved away from the printhead 16 when a reversing gear assembly 203 is activated. The reversing gear assembly consists plastic molded housing 204 and two gears. The longer transmission gear 205 engages with the main drive gear 194 and in one direction powers the second smaller reversing gear 206 around to make contact with gear on the end of the capping arm 201. These act together to pivot the capping arm away and uncap the printhead 16. When printing is finished, the main gear 194 is reversed, which reverses the drive rollers and pivots the capping arm 191 to the home position after it is engaged by the reversing gear assembly 203. It rotates back towards the printhead 16 until the elastomeric seals 193 seal either side of the printhead 16. The elastomeric seals 193 maintain a moist environment in the vicinity of the printhead.
As shown in FIGS. 20 to 23, the ink cartridge 17 is shaped to receive the capping arm 191 out of the path of the printable media. There is a capping arm at each end of the printhead with the cap extending between the capping arms. Each capping arm is separated by a space sufficient to allow the passage of the card being printed.
Throughout the specification the aim has been to describe the preferred embodiments of the invention without limiting the invention to any one embodiment or specific collection of features. Persons skilled in the relevant art may realize variations from the specific embodiments that will nonetheless fall within the scope of the invention.

Groupon, which is expected to soon raise an additional round of funding and ultimately try to go public, has hired an Amazon.com (NSDQ: AMZN) executive who likely will oversee those efforts. Jason Child, who most recently was vice president of finance for Amazon.com's international business, is joining the daily deals site as its first chief financial officer.
The hire comes as Groupon recently said no to a $6 billion acquisition offer from Google (NSDQ: GOOG). In a bit of a twist, Amazon itself has allied with Groupon arch rival LivingSocial; the company invested $175 million in the daily deals site earlier this month.

Article: Ammonia as a case study for the spontaneous ionization of a simple hydrogen-bonded compound.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Modern ab initio calculations predict ionic and superionic states in highly compressed water and ammonia. The prediction apparently contradicts state-of-the-art experimentally established phase diagrams overwhelmingly dominated by molecular phases. Here we present experimental evidence that the threshold pressure of ~120 GPa induces in molecular ammonia the process of autoionization to yet experimentally unknown ionic compound-ammonium amide. Our supplementary theoretical simulations provide valuable insight into the mechanism of autoionization showing no hydrogen bond symmetrization along the transformation path, a remarkably small energy barrier between competing phases and the impact of structural rearrangement contribution on the overall conversion rate. This discovery is bridging theory and experiment thus opening new possibilities for studying molecular interactions in hydrogen-bonded systems. Experimental knowledge on this novel ionic phase of ammonia also provides strong motivation for reconsideration of the theory of molecular ice layers formation and dynamics in giant gas planets.Nature Communications 01/2014; 5:3460.

ABSTRACT: The high temperature phase boundaries of CO2 in the proximity of the Earth's adiabat are determined using first-principles molecular dynamics simulations based on density functional theory. The melting curve, predicted here up to 71 GPa, and the molecular to polymeric solid phase transition are computed through a phase coexistence approach from free energy calculations. The resulting CO2 phase IV–phase V-liquid triple point is at 31.8 GPa and 1636 K, in excellent agreement with the available experimental data. The Earth's geotherm crosses into the non-molecular phase V near 40 GPa and 2160 K, indicating that free deposits of carbon dioxide in the lower mantle would exist as a polymeric solid. We have also examined the thermodynamic stability of phase V and find no indication of transformations into a dissociated diamond and oxygen phase at mantle conditions.Earth and Planetary Science Letters 07/2013; 373:228–232.

ABSTRACT: We report results from high pressure and temperature experiments that provide evidence for the reactivity of xenon with water ice at pressures above 50 GPa and a temperature of 1500 K-conditions that are found in the interiors of Uranus and Neptune. The x-ray data are sufficient to determine a hexagonal lattice with four Xe atoms per unit cell and several possible distributions of O atoms. The measurements are supplemented with ab initio calculations, on the basis of which a crystallographic structure with a Xe_{4}O_{12}H_{12} primitive cell is proposed. The newly discovered compound is formed in the stability fields of superionic ice and η-O_{2}, and has the same oxygen subnetwork as the latter. Furthermore, it has a weakly metallic character and likely undergoes sublattice melting of the H subsystem. Our findings indicate that Xe is expected to be depleted in the atmospheres of the giant planets as a result of sequestration at depth.Physical Review Letters 06/2013; 110(26):265501.

ABSTRACT: The phase diagrams of MgSiO_{3} and MgO are studied from first-principles theory for pressures and temperatures up to 600 GPa and 20 000 K. Through the evaluation of finite-temperature Gibbs free energies, using density-functional theory within the generalized gradient approximation as well as with hybrid exchange-correlation functionals, we find evidence for a vast pressure-temperature regime where molten MgSiO_{3} decomposes into liquid SiO_{2} and solid MgO, with a volume change of approximately 1.2%. The demixing transition is driven by the crystallization of MgO-the reaction only occurs below the high-pressure MgO melting curve. The predicted transition pressure at 10 000 K is in close proximity to an anomaly reported in recent laser-driven shock experiments of MgSiO_{3}. We also present new results for the high-pressure melting curve of MgO and its B1-B2 solid phase transition, with a triple point at 364 GPa and 12 000 K.Physical Review Letters 03/2013; 110(13):135504.

ABSTRACT: We present ab initio calculations of the phase diagram of liquid CO(2) and its melting curve over a wide range of pressure and temperature conditions, including those relevant to the Earth. Several distinct liquid phases are predicted up to 200 GPa and 10,000 K based on their structural and electronic characteristics. We provide evidence for a first-order liquid-liquid phase transition with a critical point near 48 GPa and 3,200 K that intersects the mantle geotherm; a liquid-liquid-solid triple point is predicted near 45 GPa and 1,850 K. Unlike known first-order transitions between thermodynamically stable liquids, the coexistence of molecular and polymeric CO(2) phases predicted here is not accompanied by metallization. The absence of an electrical anomaly would be unique among known liquid-liquid transitions. Furthermore, the previously suggested phase separation of CO(2) into its constituent elements at lower mantle conditions is examined by evaluating their Gibbs free energies. We find that liquid CO(2) does not decompose into carbon and oxygen up to at least 200 GPa and 10,000 K.Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences 08/2012; 109(37):14808-12.

ABSTRACT: The thermodynamic stability of the Pnma structure of CaTiO3 has been studied using hybrid density functional theory and Gibbs free energy calculations, including anharmonic effects. The use of the screened Heyd-Scuseria-Ernzerhof (HSE06) functional shifts the room temperature transition pressure from perovskite to post-perovskite structure by around 18 GPa, or 37%, compared with GGA-PBE. Both the lattice dynamics and choice of exchange functional play a significant role in stabilizing the Pnma structure at finite temperature. The Pnma structure is found to be stable up to 65 GPa at 300 K, consistent with the recent experimental observation of stable Pnma up to 60 GPa.Physical review. B, Condensed matter 08/2012; 86(6).

Article: Lattice Dynamics of Dense Lithium[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We report low-frequency high-resolution Raman spectroscopy and ab-initio calculations on dense lithium from 40 to 200 GPa at low temperatures. Our experimental results reveal rich first-order Raman activity in the metallic and semiconducting phases of lithium. The computed Raman frequencies are in excellent agreement with the measurements. Free energy calculations provide a quantitative description and physical explanation of the experimental phase diagram only when vibrational effect are correctly treated.

ABSTRACT: A computationally efficient method is proposed to compute the free energy of liquids with accuracy comparable to ab initio thermodynamic integration. The method has been applied to predict melting curves of CO2 and N over a wide range of pressure using the solid-liquid phase coexistence approach. The calculated melting lines are compared with available experimental data and the crossing of the geotherm and melting line of CO2 is determined.

ABSTRACT: Using density functional theory and many-body perturbation theory within a GW approximation, we calculate the electronic structure of a metal-molecule interface consisting of benzene diamine (BDA) adsorbed on Au(111). Through direct comparison with photoemission data, we show that a conventional G$_0$W$_0$ approach can underestimate the energy of the adsorbed molecular resonance relative to the Au Fermi level by up to 0.8 eV. The source of this discrepancy is twofold: a 0.7 eV underestimate of the gas phase ionization energy (IE), and a 0.2 eV overestimate of the Au work function. Refinements to self-energy calculations within the GW framework that account for deviations in both the Au work function and BDA gas-phase IE can result in an interfacial electronic level alignment in quantitative agreement with experiment.Physical review.

ABSTRACT: The high-pressure phase diagrams of liquid nitrogen and carbon dioxide have been investigated using first-principles theory. Both liquids undergo rare first-order molecular-polymerization phase transitions at pressures comparable to their solid counterparts. Furthermore, both materials dissociate into metallic atomic fluids at high temperatures. The liquid regimes of their phase diagrams have been divided into several regions based on detailed analyses of changes in both structural and electronic properties for pressures and temperatures up to 200 GPa and 10,000 K, respectively. A comparison of the two liquid phase diagrams will be discussed to illustrate similarities and differences. Calculations of the shock Hugoniot are in excellent agreement with available experimental data.
Article: Ab initio calculations of the equation of state of hydrogen in a regime relevant for inertial fusion applications[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: a b s t r a c t We describe ab initio electronic structure calculations (density functional theory molecular dynamics and coupled electron-ion quantum Monte Carlo) of the equation of state (EOS) of hydrogen in a pressureetem-perature regime relevant for simulating the initial phase of an inertial connement fusion capsule implosion. We nd the computed EOS to be quite close to that of the most recent SESAME table (constructed by G. Kerley, 2003). A simple density-dependent but temperature-independent correction brings the 2003-Kerley EOS into excellent agreement with ours in the chosen region of the hydrogen phase diagram. Simulations of fusion ignition experiments on the National Ignition Facility (NIF) with this modied 2003-Kerley table are shown to produce results nearly indistinguishable from those of the 2003-Kerley EOS, which was used to design the capsule. In this sense, we do not expect that further improvements to the hydrogen EOS in this particular regime will impact the capsule design.High Energy Density Physics 10/2011; 8(1).

ABSTRACT: We describe ab initio electronic structure calculations (DFT molecular dynamics and quantum Monte Carlo) of the equation of state of hydrogen in a regime relevant for ICF applications. We find the computed EOS to be quite close to that of the most recent SESAME table (constructed by G. Kerley, 2004). A simple density-dependent correction brings the recent SESAME EOS into nearly perfect agreement with ours in the chosen region. Simulations of ICF applications with this corrected SESAME table are discussed.

ABSTRACT: The phase diagrams of liquid CO2 and N2 have been investigated using first- principles theory. Both materials exhibit transitions to conducting liquids at high temperatures (T) and relatively modest pressures (P). Furthermore, both liquids undergo polymerization phase transitions at pressures comparable to their solid counterparts. The liquid phase diagrams have been divided into several regimes through a detailed analysis of changes in bonding, as well as structural and electronic properties for pressures and temperatures up to 200 GPa and 10 000 K, respectively. Similarities and differences between the high-P and T behavior of these fluids will be discussed. Calculations of the Hugoniot are in excellent agreement with available experimental data.

ABSTRACT: The thermodynamic, electronic, and structural properties of liquid Na-Li and Ca-Li alloys at high pressure have been studied using ab initio molecular dynamics simulations. Gibbs free energies of pure Na, Ca, Li, and their mixtures (Na-Li and Ca-Li) are computed from vibrational density of states to determine the mixing-demixing behavior of the alloys. The computed electronic and structural properties of the mixtures with different concentrations are compared with the pure liquids up to around 265 GPa and 2000 K.Physical review.

ABSTRACT: Accurate calculations of orbital energies for molecules chemisorbed on metal surfaces are important for understanding energy conversion, molecular scale transport, and charge transfer events at metal electrodes. Here, using density functional theory (DFT) and many-body perturbation theory within the GW approximation (GWA), we report the orbital energies of a well-studied molecule, benzene diamine (and derivatives), covalently bonded to aluminum and gold surfaces. For chemisorbed derivatives on Al surfaces, we predict a shift in the highest occupied molecular orbital resonance energy greater than 1 eV relative to the DFT result. We discuss our GWA results in the context of a model self-energy approach based on prior work [1], which can be applied to larger systems at greatly reduced computational cost. [4pt] [1] J. B.

ABSTRACT: The properties of liquid CO2 have been studied through first-principles molecular dynamics simulations in the pressure-temperature range of 0-1 TPa and 200-100,000 K. The resulting equation of state data is used to predict shock Hugoniots for several initial conditions. Comparison with available experimental data up to 70 GPa is excellent. We find a gradual phase transition characterized by the destabilization of CO2 molecules and the formation of other molecular compounds. The liquid phase diagram is divided into several regimes based on a thorough analysis on changes in bonding, structural properties, and chemical composition. Calculations of optical properties such as conductivity and reflectivity will also be discussed.

ABSTRACT: We present first-principles calculations of the structural and electronic properties of liquid nitrogen in the pressure-temperature range of 0–200 GPa and 2000–6000 K. Upon polymerization, the liquid becomes metallic, similar to what has been reported for the higher temperature atomic fluid. An explanation of the electronic properties of the transformed liquids and the differences with the electronic properties of insulating solid cubic-gauche nitrogen is given based on the structure and bonding character of these phases. The mechanism responsible for charge transport in polymeric nitrogen systems is examined in order to understand the semiconducting nature of low-temperature amorphous nitrogen.Physical review.

ABSTRACT: We report on the use of first-principles molecular dynamics calculations to examine properties of liquid carbon dioxide in the pressure-temperature range of 0-1 TPa and 200-100 000 K. The computed equations of state points are used to predict a series of shock Hugoniots with initial starting conditions that are relevant to existing and ongoing shock-wave experiments. A comparison with published measurements up to 70 GPa shows excellent agreement. We find that the liquid undergoes a gradual phase transition along the Hugoniot and have characterized this transition based on changes in bonding and structural properties as well as the conductivity and reflectivity of the fluid.The Journal of Chemical Physics 02/2011; 134(6):064504.

Two sides to the story. You can have a chicken as a pet, and you will learn that they have personalities and a presence. Only if you can keep them depersonalized, can you kill them easily for food. The key is respect for life. If I had to kill the chicken, I would bend to the vegetarian side, but being a hypocrite, I will eat it if it comes from the grocery store. Bottom line, if we kill them for food, it needs to be certifiably, absolutely, humane, and so certified.

First, see Shoebat.com. for FACTS and background. I thought the video was a setup as soon as I heard Obama and Hillary blaming it. It was to be used after the kidnapping of Stevens. Hillary's dear friend, Morsi's (he and his wife have been friends and business partners of the Clintons since the '80′s!) first priory after his election was the return of the Blind Sheikh. I believe it was a Morsi-Clinton-Obama deal to get it done. He was to be traded for Stevens. Some interesting info is that the video had a name change and was distributed over a hyperlink on 9/11. Not by film maker Nakoula, but by someone using an avatar of Stanley, Inc. a contractor used by the government. Stanley had been purchased about a year earlier by none other that CGI. CGI is the company that was given the contract for the Obamacare website. Coincidence? If you line up everything that was done, by Hillary, before, during and after, it looks VERY BAD for her. We are talking treason, and her personal responsibility for those that died. I think she WAS devastated by the turn of events, not because people died, but because it wasn't what was planned to cement her position as a negotiator for Stevens return prior to her run for President and the next election. Why the video? Steven's had to be kidnapped by other than Islamic terrorists, had to be a crowd of disgruntled Muslims that were angry and hurt because of the video's insult to Islam. Now THAT was something they could work with!

Creighton has shown early on that it might have enough depth to be consistently successful this season without big games from star forward Doug McDermott. The No. 14 Bluejays will try for another solid team effort Tuesday night when they host Longwood in regional play for this weekend's Las Vegas Invitational. A preseason All-American, McDermott averaged 22.9 points for the 29-6 Bluejays last season. Though Creighton (3-0) reached the third round of the NCAA tournament, only two of his teammates averaged more than 9.0 points. With opponents now focused more on stopping McDermott, Bluejays coach and Doug's father Greg McDermott is pleased to see others step up. McDermott's average has dropped to 16.7 points in this young season, but four other Creighton players are averaging at least 9.0 per contest. In a 77-60 win over UAB on Wednesday, McDermott was held five points but center Gregory Echenique came through with 13 and 16 rebounds, while reserves Josh Jones and Ethan Wragge com...

Category: classic boy names
Last week we asked you to name your favorite classic name for girls; now it's the boys' turn.
What's your favorite classic boys' name? Do you prefer one of the classic classics such as James or William or a fashionable classic such as Henry or (thanks to England's young prince) George?
There are quiet classic boys' names such as Robert and Richard and John, no longer quite in style yet undeniably classics. And then there are trendy names such as Noah and Sebastian that may or may not qualify as classics in your book.
What's your very favorite classic boys' name? And yes, sure, you can mention more than one.
One of our favorite fantasies here on Nameberry is to name imaginary families. Today's challenge: Tell us what names you'd choose for two brothers.
A classic pair like Henry and William? Or a stylish duo such as Sebastian and Jasper?
Two boys' names with matching initials? Traditional family names, or maybe a modern androgynous pair?
And how do your feelings about raising boys and boy name trends today factor into your decision?
Looking for a classic boys' name that's also unusual?
Way beyond the Williams and Henrys you hear every day are dozens of boys' names that achieve this golden combination. These names have deep roots and have been used for centuries, yet are given to only a handful of boys each year.
These classic boys' names include choices from ancient cultures and the Bible, names sailing out of style (So long, Sherman) along with those heading in: Welcome, Grey, Linus, and Finnian!
Here, more than 100 classic boys' names you'll find hiding below the U.S. Top 1000, ordered from those given to the most babies in 2012 (Gordon, at 194) to the least (Mercury, at just five):
Which classic boys' name do you love the best?
Classic boys' names encompass those that are traditionally popular such as John, William, and Thomas, along with classics fashionable today like Henry and Alexander.
And classic names for boys may also include biblical names such as Jacob and Joshua, along with classics that are newly back in style, from Atticus to Arthur.
But for this Question of the Week, you can only pick one.
Classic baby names can encompass several different categories. There are Biblical names, from Anne to Zachary. There are names rooted in ancient cultures, including Atticus and Juno, which have survived or are being revived today.
And then there are the classic names that have been well-used in English-speaking cultures over the decades and centuries. While classic names by any definition do move in and out of style just like other names, some manage to endure better than others and become, well, the most classic classic names.
Here, our picks for ten of the best classic baby names today.
Catherine — The Duchess formerly known as Kate has done much to swing fashion toward the C-beginning version of this most classic of girls' names. Catherine, classic in any spelling, has been borne by saints and queens along with some of the most inspiring literary heroines, including Heathcliff's Cathy of Wuthering Heights. Greek for "pure," Catherine comes in countless international variations and with a wide range of nicknames. Most stylish today are Cate or Kate or the vintage-feeling Kay or Kitty.

Rudolf Schindler (doctor)
Rudolf Schindler (1888–1968) was a German physician, who practiced medicine as a gastroenterologist. He is regarded widely as the "father of gastroscopy."[1]
He was born in Berlin. During the First World War he described numerous diseases involving the human digestive system. He wrote the illustrated textbook, Lehrbuch und Atlas der Gastroskopie (Textbook and Atlas of Gastroscopy).
Between 1928 and 1932 Schindler worked with the Berlin-based instrument-maker and technician, Georg Wolf, on the development of the first semi-flexible gastroscope, which allowed a greater range for examination, facilitating diagnosis and some treatments without abdominal surgery.
With the rise of the Nazi party he was arrested. Upon his release in 1934, he made his way to the United States of America. He settled in Chicago, Illinois, and practiced medicine there until 1943. He then relocated to Los Angeles, California, where he continued his work in gastroenterology until his retirement. including writing two more books in the field of gastroenterology, teaching students, and saving lives.
He spent his final years in Munich, Germany and died in 1968 at the age of eighty.[1]
