Publication number: 20240001693Abstract: A printing apparatus is disclosed herein. The apparatus comprises a platform defining a printing zone to hold a media moveable along a media path direction; a first sensor at a first location along the media path direction to measure a media advance at the first location; a second sensor located at a second location along the media path direction downstream the first location, the second sensor to measure the media advance at the second location; and a controller. The controller to determine a deformation gradient of the media based on a first set of measurements of the media advance by the sensors at the first and second locations and adjust an image to be printed based on the deformation gradient.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 23, 2020Publication date: January 4, 2024Applicant: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Ricard EJARQUE MONTALVO, Victor LORENTE TEJERO, David MUNOZ NAVARRO, Albert ESTELLA AGUERRI

Publication number: 20230398795Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed herein. The apparatus comprises a carriage to move laterally in a scanning direction over a platen, a scan beam to support the carriage over the platen, a mechanism to move the scan beam vertically, and a media holder. The media holder comprises a central portion to hold a media on the platen, a first end couplable to the platen at a coupling position, and a second end couplable to the scan beam such that the second end moves vertically along with the scan beam.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 26, 2020Publication date: December 14, 2023Applicant: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Victor LORENTE TEJERO, Ricard EJARQUE MONTALVO, Albert ESTELLA AGUERRI, David MUNOZ NAVARRO

Publication number: 20230145554Abstract: Example implementations relate to substrate porosity determination. Some examples refer to a substrate porosity determination comprising an image capture device a controller to obtain a reference image by the image capture device; obtain a measurement image after a printing operation has been performed on a substrate located over the image capture device; compare the reference image and the measurement image—determine whether the substrate is porous based on the comparison; and determine a print parameter based on the determination of whether the substrate is porous.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 21, 2019Publication date: May 11, 2023Inventors: Li Qian, Alberto Borrego Lebrato, David Munoz Navarro

Patent number: 11446926Abstract: A printing apparatus is disclosed. The printing apparatus comprises a printhead and a controller. The printhead is to spit a printing fluid comprising a first mode and a second mode. The first mode corresponds to using a first energy level to spit the printing fluid and the second mode corresponds to using a second energy level to spit the printing fluid. The second energy level comprises a higher energy level than the first energy level. The controller is to determine a decap risk zone associated with the printing fluid, determine in view of the decap risk zone a decap location, and instruct the printhead to spit using the second mode at the decap location.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2018Date of Patent: September 20, 2022Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Li Qian, Jamie Juan Munoz, David Munoz Navarro

Publication number: 20220281244Abstract: A system is disclosed. The system comprises a roller with a spindle to wind and/or unwind a roll of media, a media advancement sensor to measure the advancement of the media, and a controller. The controller is to control the spindle to rotate an angular displacement, and to determine a calculated media advancement based on the angular displacement and a radius of the roll of media. The controller is also to receive from the media advancement sensor a measured media advancement. The controller is further to detect that a displacement difference between the measured media advancement and the determined media advancement exceeds a predetermined threshold. If the displacement difference exceeds the predetermined threshold a slippage condition is detected.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 26, 2019Publication date: September 8, 2022Applicant: HEWLETT-PACKARD DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, L.P.Inventors: Albert Estella Aguerri, David Munoz Navarro, Francisco Guerrero Carvajal

Patent number: 11413892Abstract: Obstacle detection for a moving element activated by a motor is disclosed. The obstacle detection may comprise a controller to: move the element at a substantially constant speed; determine an actual torque value to move the element at the constant speed; determine a torque parameter based on the actual torque value; comparing the torque parameter with a threshold value; and determining the presence of an obstacle if the torque parameter is above the torque parameter threshold; wherein the torque parameter is determined based on a set of historical torque values and the actual torque value.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2018Date of Patent: August 16, 2022Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Raimon Castells De Monet, David Munoz Navarro, Josep Tarradas i Juan
