Abstract: A printer includes a printhead assembly, a spit zone, and a controller. The printhead assembly includes nozzles to eject ink drops. The spit zone is to store maintenance ink. The controller is to move the printhead assembly over the spit zone while ink is ejected from the nozzles during spits.

Abstract: A system and method for converting compact multimedia format files to synchronized multimedia integration language while preserving media and timeline information. Media objects and timeline information are extracted from a compact multimedia format file. The media is saved to separate files, and each file may be split into multiple files if the file overlaps a loop boundary. A synchronized multimedia integration language is created from the timing information, including loops, and the media files.

Abstract: A method used for communicating packets or other information units from a server (11) to a client (15) over a communication path including a packet scheduler (14-1) followed by a bottleneck path (14-2), with the packet scheduler (14-1) having a buffer for holding packets so as not to transmit over the bottleneck path (14-2) at a rate either too high or too low, the method providing that the server (11) communicate to the client (15) sender information indicating the last packet sent to the client (11) by the server (11) and do so via a mechanism by which the sender information is communicated over the bottleneck path (14-2) ahead of substantially all packets already in the buffer.

The client (11) then uses the sender information to provide, as needed, information useful in adapting the rate at which the packets arrive at the packet scheduler (14-1).
