Abstract: Embodiments described herein are generally directed to the use of sidecars to perform dynamic API contract generation and conversion. In an example, a first sidecar of a source microservice intercepts a first call to a first API exposed by a destination microservice. The first call makes use of a first API technology specified by a first contract and is originated by the source microservice. An API technology is selected from multiple API technologies. The selected API technology is determined to be different than the first API technology. Based on the first contract, a second contract is dynamically generated that specifies an intermediate API that makes use of the selected API technology. A second sidecar of the destination microservice is caused to generate the intermediate API and connect the intermediate API to the first API.

Abstract: A method is described. The method includes a service provider accessing data indicating that at least a portion of an information systems infrastructure that is managed by the service provider and is installed at a tenant's location to perform information services for the tenant is available to perform information services for entities other than the tenant. The method includes the service provider providing information services to at least one of the entities with the portion of the information systems infrastructure.

Abstract: A binary ink developer (BID) for a liquid electro-photography (LEP) printing device includes a sponge roller to absorb unused ink. The BID includes a squeezer roller to release the unused ink absorbed by the sponge roller for reuse. The squeezer roller releases the unused ink absorbed by the sponge roller by compressing the sponge roller. Compression of the sponge roller results in ink foam. The BID includes a mechanism having a wall, and a housing that together with the wall of the mechanism defines a passageway between the housing and the wall. The passageway is exposed externally to the BID. The BID includes one or more suction cavities defined within the wall of the mechanism through which the ink foam moves back from the passageway.

Abstract: A splash guard is configured to control the flow of excess liquid generated by an interaction between a first roller and a second roller by splitting the flow of the excess liquid into a first flow and a second flow.

Abstract: In one implementation, an apparatus includes a foil that is adjacent to a portion of an ink developer electrode. The foil at least partially limits an accumulation of splashed ink along one or more portions of the ink developer electrode.

Abstract: A replaceable developer roller apparatus is disclosed for a printing device. The apparatus includes a cylindrical developer roller having two opposed ends, and a drive assembly selectively and operatively engageable with one of the opposed ends of the developer roller. The drive assembly includes a shaft having two opposed regions; a gear rotationally fixed to one of the opposed regions of the shaft; and a drive member rotationally fixed to the other of the opposed regions of the shaft, and selectively, axially moveable between an engagement position and a disengagement position. A spindle assembly is engageable with the other of the opposed ends of the developer roller. The spindle assembly includes a spindle assembly shaft and an alignment member rotationally fixed to the spindle assembly shaft.
