Abstract: Reprocessing of a replaceable supply component may include receiving from an encoding device and using an interface communicatively coupled to the encoding device, a request blob to reprocess a replaceable supply component. The method may include in response to cryptographically verifying the request blob, extracting from the request blob, a supply identifier and raw supply data. The method further includes using the supply identifier and raw supply data, generating a reprocess structure to append or amend original manufacturing data for the replaceable supply component, and providing a response blob to the encoding device, to designate the replaceable supply component as a reprocessed supply component.

Abstract: A combination appliance door ajar, occupant emergency and abnormal temperature condition alarm system, in a single unit utilizing three visual indicators, one for each of the emergency conditions, and an audio alarm with multi-tone operation, for each of the emergency conditions. The alarm system incorporates a first light indicator and audio alarm that are triggered in response to a door ajar condition. The time period before the alarm is triggered may be adjusted by means of timer circuitry. The alarm system also incorporates a manually operated switch installed on the interior of the appliance that allows an occupant of the appliance to indicate an emergency condition that requires outside assistance. The occupant emergency system uses a visual indicator and an audible alarm signal that are distinctive from those used for the door ajar system.

Abstract: A combination of a freezer/refrigerator appliance door ajar alarm indicating system with an appliance occupant emergency condition indicating system in a single unit utilizes two visual indicator means, one for each of the emergency conditions, and an audio alarm means with two tone operation, one for each of the emergency conditions indicated. The alarm system incorporates a first light indicator means in conjunction with a first audio alarm means that is triggered in response to a door ajar condition switch is being activated for longer than a preset period of time. The time period before the alarm is triggered may be adjusted by means of timer circuitry. The alarm system also incorporates a manually operated switch installed on the interior of the appliance that allows an occupant of the appliance to indicate to those on the outside the existence of an emergency condition that requires assistance.
