Robust Bit Scheme For A Memory Of A Replaceable Printer Component

View page
US Patent:
6616260, Sep 9, 2003
Filed:
May 25, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/866040
Inventors:
John M Skene - Lake Oswego OR
Matthew A Shepherd - Vancouver WA
Garrard Hume - Corvallis OR
Assignee:
Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. - Houston TX
International Classification:
B41J 2175
US Classification:
347 19
Abstract:
A system and method for detecting an error in data received from a memory of a replaceable printer component includes providing a first parity bit associated with a first data item. The first data item and the first parity bit are stored in the memory. The printer includes a plurality of electrically conductive lines. The memory includes a plurality of bits. At least one of the electrically conductive lines is associated with each bit. The first data item and the first parity bit are read from the memory. An electrical test of at least one of the electrically conductive lines is performed. An error in the first data item is identified based on the first parity bit read from the memory and the electrical test.

Orifice Plate With Break Tabs And Method Of Manufacturing

View page
US Patent:
6663224, Dec 16, 2003
Filed:
May 4, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/849024
Inventors:
Rio T Rivas - Corvallis OR
Garrard Hume - Corvallis OR
Angela W Bakkom - Corvallis OR
Gerald G Trunk - Monmouth OR
Niranjan Thirukkovalur - Corvallis OR
Assignee:
Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. - Houston TX
International Classification:
B41J 216
US Classification:
347 47, 298901
Abstract:
A plate has a rectangular plate body with a plurality of nozzle arrays. The plate also has first and second end zones in between the plurality of nozzle arrays and opposing ends of the plate body, respectively. There is a break tab in at least one of the first and second end zones. In between the first and second end zones is a middle zone. A plating material encapsulates the plate body in the middle zone.

Robust Bit Scheme For A Memory Of A Replaceable Printer Component

View page
US Patent:
6769757, Aug 3, 2004
Filed:
Mar 10, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/384942
Inventors:
John M Skene - Lake Oswego OR
Matthew A Shepherd - Vancouver WA
Garrard Hume - Corvallis OR
Assignee:
Hewlett-Packard Development Company, LP - Houston TX
International Classification:
B41J 2175
US Classification:
347 19
Abstract:
A replaceable printer component having an integral memory for use in a printing system includes a semiconductor die and a plurality of circuits formed on the semiconductor die. Each circuit is associated with and indicates the state of a bit in the memory. The memory stores a plurality of functional bits that must match values expected by the printing system for proper operation of the printing system. The memory stores a plurality of informational bits that are not critical to proper operation of the printing system. A large percentage of the circuits associated with the functional bits are positioned substantially near a center of the semiconductor die.

Method Of Manufacturing An Orifice Plate Having A Plurality Of Slits

View page
US Patent:
20020041308, Apr 11, 2002
Filed:
Dec 13, 2001
Appl. No.:
10/016886
Inventors:
Todd Cleland - Corvallis OR, US
Garrard Hume - Corvallis OR, US
International Classification:
B23P017/00
B21D053/76
US Classification:
347/047000, 029/890100
Abstract:
A thermal ink jet print head with an orifice plate for defining numerous of orifice apertures and numerous strain relief elements. Each strain relief element is a closed slit between abutting and separable portions of the plate, such that a stress applied to the plate across the strain relief element will tend to open the slot, or cause the edges to move in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the plate, or otherwise provide a thin cross section that deforms more easily, thereby limiting strain in other portions of the plate.

Inkjet Printhead With Top Plate Bubble Management

View page
US Patent:
63310554, Dec 18, 2001
Filed:
Aug 30, 1999
Appl. No.:
9/386032
Inventors:
Michael D. Miller - Shedd OR
Garrard Hume - Corvallis OR
Assignee:
Hewlett-Packard Company - Palo Alto CA
International Classification:
B41J 219
US Classification:
347 92
Abstract:
An ink jet printhead is provided with an orifice plate connected to the barrier layer, spaced apart from the substrate second major surface, enclosing the ink manifold, and defining a plurality of orifice apertures, each associated with a respective ink energizing element, wherein the orifice plate has a planar plate defining the plurality of orifice apertures and at least one groove. The at least one groove extends from an ink feed slot region of the inkjet printhead to a bubble collection area adjacent to an end firing chamber located beyond the ink feed slot region to facilitate guiding bubbles away from critical areas.

Assignee:
Hewlett-Packard Company - Palo Alto CA
International Classification:
B41J 216
US Classification:
347 20
Abstract:
