  • Publication number: 20210362525
    Abstract: In one example of the disclosure, subject audio data, indicative of a subject audio captured via a transducer during an operation of a subject electromechanical device, is accessed. Baseline audio data, indicative of a baseline audio captured during an operation of a baseline electromechanical device, is accessed. An electronic file that includes differences between the subject audio data and the baseline audio data is created.

  • Patent number: 11059297
    Abstract: In one example, an integrated circuit device for a replaceable printer component to communicate information about the component to a printer controller when a component with the integrated circuit device is installed in a printer. The integrated circuit device includes a controller, a memory operatively connected to the controller to store and/or generate information about the component, a single pair of conductors to supply power to the controller and to carry data signals to and from the controller, a detector to detect incoming data signals with a signal property associated with the component, and two electrical contacts each connected to one of the conductors to connect the integrated circuit device to a printer controller when a component with the integrated circuit device is installed in a printer.

  • Patent number: 10884073
    Abstract: An example device includes a physical interface to connect to a system. The device also includes a power source to deliver power to a diagnostic portion of the system via the physical interface. The diagnostic portion draws a small amount of power. The power source delivers the power based on the system not receiving power from an internal source. The device also includes a reporting engine to communicatively couple to the system via the physical interface. The reporting engine retrieves an indication of whether a cable in the system is connected.

  • Patent number: 8102557
    Abstract: A multi-function peripheral (MFP) device having enhanced security for processed data is disclosed. The MFP includes both a non-volatile memory and a volatile memory. The MFP also includes a user interface configured to allow a user to prevent data from being stored on the non-volatile memory. The MFP further includes a processor or a switch configured to disable access to the non-volatile memory. The MFP blocks data from being stored on its non-volatile memory upon a user's selection via the user interface. The data is only temporarily stored on the volatile memory, and is erased after processing. This configuration prevents others from having access to the data.

  • Publication number: 20050111728
    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods are provided for processing data. In one method embodiment, the method includes defining a number of color channels, each channel to transfer a particular color element of a stream of color type pixel data. The method can also include identifying monochrome type pixel data within a data stream and allocating a color channel to transfer the identified monochrome type pixel data.
