  • Patent number: 10940693
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are sensor circuits for a replaceable print material container, the sensor circuit to communicate with a printer logic circuit. An example sensor circuit includes a first sensor to detect at least one of a pneumatic stimulus or a pressurization applied by a printer, a second sensor, and an interface to communicate with at least one of a voltage source or a data source of the printer logic circuit. The example sensor circuit also includes logic circuitry, responsive to a class parameter, to: (a) output a first signal based on at least one of the pneumatic stimulus or the pressurization sensed by the first sensor when the class parameter is a first class parameter; and (b) output a second signal based on at least one of an output of the second sensor, different data, or a different algorithm when the class parameter is a second class parameter.

  • Publication number: 20210046760
    Abstract: In an example, a method comprises, by logic circuitry associated with a replaceable print apparatus component installed in a print apparatus, receiving a sensor data request and determining whether the request is for data indicative of a print material level or for data indicative of a pressurisation event. In the event that the request is a request for data indicative of the print material level, the method may comprise responding with a first data response in a first value range; and in the event that the request is a request for data indicative of a pressurisation event, the method may comprise responding with a second data response in a second value range.

  • Publication number: 20200171834
    Abstract: In one example in accordance with the present disclosure, a fluid interface device (106) is described. The device includes a collar (110) to receive a fluid container (104). The collar has an aperture in one end surface. A needle (108) of the fluid interface device passes through the aperture and allows fluid to pass from the fluid container (104) into a reservoir (102). The needle is slideable within the aperture from a dosed position to an open position upon reception of the fluid container. A seal (212) is radially disposed around the needle (108) and seals against the end surface of the collar (110) when the needle is in the dosed position.

  • Patent number: 10647128
    Abstract: A method of forming a fluid level sensor includes coupling an array of heating elements and sensors to a first side of a substrate. A second side of the substrate is coupled to a carrier. The method also includes coupling an electrical interface to the carrier and electrically coupling the array to the electrical interface via a conductive wire. The method further includes overmolding the electrical interface, the first side of the substrate, and the conductive wire to form an overmolded fluid level sensor. The carrier may be coupled to the second side of the substrate and the electrical interface via a releasable adhesive and may be removed after overmolding the fluid level sensor.

    Abstract: In one example in accordance with the present disclosure a device for coalescing a frothy fluid is described. The device includes a housing and a filter disposed within the housing. An outside surface of the filter is separated from an inside surface of the housing by a gap. The filter is sealed against the housing to enclose the gap. An inlet port of the device drives incoming frothy fluid through the gap. An outlet port of the device drains liquid coalesced as bubbles in the frothy fluid dissipate and an air vent allows air to escape the gap.
