  • Patent number: 11548287
    Abstract: In one example in accordance with the present disclosure, a fluidic die assembly is described. The fluidic die assembly includes a rigid substrate having a bend therein. A fluidic die is disposed on the rigid substrate. The fluidic die is to eject fluid from a reservoir fluidly coupled to the fluidic die. The fluidic die includes an array of ejection subassemblies. Each ejection subassembly includes an ejection chamber to hold a volume of fluid, an opening, and a fluid actuator to eject a portion of the volume of fluid through the opening. The fluidic die assembly also includes an electrical interface disposed on the rigid substrate to establish an electrical connection between the fluidic die and a controller. The fluidic die and the electrical interface are disposed on a same surface on opposite sides of the bend.

  • Patent number: 8848376
    Abstract: A rack-mounted console module includes a lower unit slideably mounted on a rail and an upper unit pivotally coupled to the lower unit. A locking mechanism includes a first part moveably disposed in the lower unit and a second part fixedly disposed on the rail. When the upper unit is closed and the lower unit slides along the rail to a target position, the first part of the locking mechanism changes from a released state to a locked state where it engages the second part of the locking mechanism to lock the lower unit. When the upper unit is opened, the first part changes from the locked state to a ready-to-released state. When the upper unit is subsequently closed, the first part changes from the ready-to-released state to a released state where it disengages from the second part, and the console module can be slid back into the rack.
