Appl. No.:

09/892397

Inventors:

Jennifer Q. Trelewicz - Superior CO, US
Eric W. Jepsen - Lafayette CO, US
Patrick M. McCarthy - Firestone CO, US

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G06F011/30

US Classification:

714 44

Abstract:

A method triggers a printer () to receive a trigger to initiate an embedding algorithm (), receive the print data (); read the printer configuration data (); encode the configuration data (); insert the configuration data () into the print data (); send the print data () to a printhead (); and print the data. The printed data is then scanned, run through analysis software, and the embedded data is returned. The embedded data can then be used to diagnose printer problems or as a digital notary.

International Classification:

B23P011/00
B21D039/00

US Classification:

029506000, 029505000, 029509000

Abstract:

This invention is directed to a method for joining, by axial movement, inner and outer metal pieces having different hardnesses. The method involves forming the harder piece to have a radial groove in its juncture surface. The harder piece has leading and trailing portions on either side of the radial groove. The leading portion is dimensioned to permit it to slide with respect to the softer piece and the trailing portion is dimensioned for swaging interference with the softer piece. Relative male-female axial movement is imparted to the pieces, thereby urging the junction surface of the softer piece along the leading portion of the harder piece until the softer piece engages the trailing portion of the harder piece. Relative axial force is applied for continued axial movement whereby the softer piece is forced past the groove such that swaging interference causes a portion of the softer piece to be upset into the groove, thereby creating a permanent joint between the pieces.
