Abstract: A partial printing fluid short detection system can detect a partial printing fluid short in a print head. The partial printing fluid short detection system includes a timing circuit to detect a print gap of the print head, and the partial printing fluid short detection system can detect the partial printing fluid short in response to detection of the print gap.

Abstract: An improved grill cleaning device/tool is presented for removing the baked and charred food, grease and sauce particles which build up over during to create an unsanitary, unappetizing and uneven grill surface on the grates. The tool design allows the cleaning of both the top and bottom of a set of two grates (grill rods) without removing the grilling surface. The tool consists of a handle, rigid shaft and a shaped scraping blade. In a preferred embodiment the blade is die cut from tempered spring steel, having a thickness of about 1/32 inch. The shaft is made from 303 stainless steel and the handle is made from a machinable, durable thermoplastic such as polyoxymethylene/polyacetal thermoplastic available as Delrin.

Abstract: A fluid container includes a body having an inlet configured to receive a fluid, a printhead configured to eject the fluid received at the inlet, and an optical receiver at the body and positioned in optical communication with the inlet such that optical signals received at the inlet are received at the optical receiver.

Abstract: A service station for a print system includes a dedicated controller and a network interface configured to couple the service station to a central controller of the print system and to other components of the print system over a network. The dedicated controller is configured to allow the service station to perform a task in response to receiving a command indicative of the task over the network from the central controller of the print system without the central controller knowing the details of the task.

Abstract: Commands from a central controller of a printing system are received at a first component of a printing system. The commands include component ready commands and non-component ready commands. The component ready commands are routed unaltered to a second component of the printing system.

Abstract: Embodiments of a fluid container are disclosed. In some embodiments, the inkjet pen is configured to receive light and a fluid.

Abstract: The present invention is in the field of identification and characterization of novel insecticidal target sites and, in particular, relates to host cells, assays and antibodies thereto.
