Publication number: 20240123735Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 12, 2021Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: Kyle MICHEL, Laurent PIZOT, Kyle MANNARI, Elijah HOULE, Honee L MESA, Teresa M O'KEEFFE, Lee JACKSON, Gabriel Scott MCDANIEL, Steven T CASTLE, Paul L JERAN, David B NOVAK

Patent number: 11919313Abstract: A print device may include a refill interface, a processor, and a computer readable medium. The refill interface may have an electrical interface for transmission and reception of signals between the print device and a refill container. And the computer-readable medium may have instructions stored thereon that when executed by the processor are to cause the processor to fetch signals, via the electrical interface of the refill interface, from the refill container indicative of a licensed print functionality of the print device. The instructions may also be to enable the licensed print functionality on the print device responsive to the fetched signals and to maintain the licensed print functionality enabled subsequent to detachment of the refill container.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2018Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Jefferson P.
