Publication number: 20210213749Abstract: A logic circuitry package for a replaceable print apparatus component includes an interface to communicate with a print apparatus logic circuit and at least one logic circuit to transmit, via the interface, a limit parameter and a count threshold parameter. The logic circuit is to receive, via the interface, initial requests to read sensor IDs with the component connected to the apparatus and the apparatus not pneumatically actuating the component. The logic circuit is to transmit, via the interface, a resting state digital value in response to each initial request. The logic circuit is to receive, via the interface, further requests to read the sensor IDs with the component connected to the apparatus and the apparatus pneumatically actuating the component. The logic circuit is to transmit, via the interface, a further digital value in response to each further request.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 25, 2019Publication date: July 15, 2021Applicant: HEWLETT-PACKARD DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, L.P.Inventors: Quinton B.

Patent number: 10850530Abstract: In one example, a liquid delivery and gas removal system for a printhead. The system includes a pump to provide a liquid at a positive pressure. The system also includes a filter fluidically coupled to the pump to receive the pressurized liquid at an upstream side, at a first pressure push the liquid through the filter to a downstream side, and at a higher second pressure push gas bubbles in the liquid through the filter to the downstream side. The system further includes a vent having a gas-permeable membrane. A wet side of the membrane is fluidically coupled to the downstream side and to a printhead. A vacuum is applied to a dry side of the membrane.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2015Date of Patent: December 1, 2020Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: David Ridgway Otis, Jr., Si-lam Julius Choy, Kevin Edward Swier, David N.

Publication number: 20200215835Abstract: In some examples, a fluid ejection assembly is removably mountable in a system, and includes a fluid ejection device, and a removable frame on which the fluid ejection device is mounted. The removable frame includes a plurality of fluid interface members that share a common design to releasably engage with a plurality of fluid interface connectors together as the removable frame is brought into engagement with a support structure in the system and on which the plurality of fluid interface connectors are mounted. Engagement of a first fluid interface member with a first fluid interface connector establishes a gas path through the first fluid interface member and the first fluid interface connector, and engagement of a second fluid interface member with a second fluid interface connector establishes a liquid path through the second fluid interface member and the second fluid interface connector, the liquid path to deliver a liquid to the fluid ejection device.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2017Publication date: July 9, 2020Inventors: Rosanna L.
