  • SENSOR NODE LOCATION-BASED POWER OPTIMIZATION
    Publication number: 20140169252
    Abstract: Sensor node location-based power consumption optimization employs an adjustable minimum detectable signal (MDS) level that is set based on a location of a sensor node relative to a location of a source of an event signal. The sensor node includes a sensor to respond to the event signal and an interface module to determine the sensor response to the event signal. The interface module has the adjustable MDS level and a power consumption that is a function of the adjustable MDS level. The adjustable MDS level is set to optimize power consumption.

  • Using light-scattering drop detector to determine turn-on-energy for fluid-ejection nozzle
    Patent number: 8393701
    Abstract: For each energy value of a number of energy values, the energy value is applied to cause a fluid-ejection nozzle to eject a fluid drop. After the energy value has been applied to the fluid-ejection nozzle, a velocity of the fluid drop is determined using a light-scattering drop detector of the fluid-ejection device. A turn-on-energy (TOE) for the fluid-ejection nozzle is determined based on at least the velocities of the fluid drops determined after applying the energy values to the fluid-ejection nozzle.
