The motion of human scale objects requires MEMS-like device arrays capable of providing
reasonable forces ($GTR mN) over human scale distances (10-100 cm). In principle batch …

This paper presents an overview of the Xerox PARC levitating media transport, including initial
experimental results. The levitating media transport is a closed-loop MEMS-based motion …

An ultrahigh vacuum system has been built which allows molecular beam epitaxial deposition
of compound semiconductors and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) imaging, as well …

If the cost of transducers for sensing and actuation can be brought into line with the cost of
computation and communication, qualitatively new functionalities and machine architectures …

Electrostatic flap valves for rapidly modulating air flows through directed jets have been
fabricated by simple lamination techniques as extensions to standard printed circuit board …

Air jets obliquely incident on the surface of an object can produce sizable, localized, tangential
forces. A MEMS-like system with tilted jets oriented in the four cardinal directions has …

Modularity in system design offers many potential advantages. Xerox has a long history of
increasingly deep modularization of printing systems. The present work describes a system of …

We describe here a system consisting of multiple, relatively inexpensive marking engines.
The marking engines are interconnected using highly reconfigurable paper paths. The paths …

… Jim Swartz believes we can, and he takes us on a journey in his book to destroy every
myth about cultural difference, lack of will, low intelligence of the American worker, and all the …

The enhancement of digital scanning technology in recent years has provided an attractive
medium for the reproduction and transmission of book archives in libraries and museums …
