  • Publication number: 20190152225
    Abstract: In one example, an inkjet printhead includes a printhead die embedded in a molding having a channel therein through which fluid may flow directly to the die. The die contains multiple fluid ejectors and multiple fluid chambers each near an ejector. Each chamber has an inlet through which fluid from the channel may enter the chamber and an outlet through which fluid may be ejected from the chamber. A perimeter of the channel surrounds the inlets but is otherwise unconstrained in size by the size of the die.

  • Patent number: 10232618
    Abstract: In one example, a fluid flow structure includes a fluid dispensing micro device embedded in a molding having a channel therein through which fluid may flow directly to the device. The device contains multiple fluid ejectors and multiple fluid chambers each near an ejector. Each chamber has an inlet through which fluid from the channel may enter the chamber and an outlet through which fluid may be ejected from the chamber. A perimeter of the channel surrounds the inlets but is otherwise unconstrained in size by the size of the device.

  • Publication number: 20190003097
    Abstract: Example implementations relate to a mixing chamber for laundry supplies. For example, an appliance may include a mixing chamber to receive at least one laundry supply and a processor coupled to the mixing chamber. The processor is to identify a user-specified setting associated with a laundry load, determine a characteristic of the laundry load, calculate an amount of the at least one laundry supply to apply to the laundry load based on the user-specified setting and the characteristic, and provide the amount of the at least one laundry supply to the mixing chamber, where the mixing chamber is to mix the amount of the at least one laundry supply.

  • Publication number: 20180371666
    Abstract: Example implementations relate to the automatic ordering of laundry supplies. For example, an appliance may include a fluid detection sensor to detect an amount of laundry supplies present within the appliance, where the fluid detection sensor is to detect a first level of fluid in a first container in the appliance. The appliance may also include a processor coupled to the fluid detection sensor, where the processor is to compare the first level of the fluid to a predetermined threshold level and automatically send a request to order a new container when the first level of the fluid in the first container reaches the predetermined threshold level and where the request is sent over a network.

  • Publication number: 20180371671
    Abstract: Example implementations relate to a water sense chamber. For example, an appliance may include a water sense chamber having a sensor, the water sense chamber to house a standard water sample. The appliance may also include a processor coupled to the water sense chamber, where the processor is to obtain a liquid sample from fluid used in an operation of the appliance, measure a first property of the liquid sample using the sensor, generate a comparison of the first property and a second property of the standard water sample, and perform an action based on the comparison.

  • Publication number: 20180357688
    Abstract: A cleansing device can trigger a user action to commit the cleansing device to one of a subscription plan or trade use plan. The cleansing device can consume the cleansing material in in accordance with the subscription plan or the trade use plan based on the user action. The controller can commit the cleansing device to one of the subscription plan or trade use plan by persistently implementing a corresponding configuration for the committed subscription plan or trade use plan respectively. When the configuration is implemented for at least the subscription plan, the controller controls the container dispenser in using the cleansing material to be in accordance with a set of rules of the subscription plan, without an ability of a user to manually bypass or override control of the container dispenser in using the cleansing material.

  • Publication number: 20180131831
    Abstract: A printer is operable to implement one of a subscription configuration or trade use configuration. The printer can implement one of the subscription configuration or trade use configuration. When the subscription configuration is implemented, the printer restrictively controls, at least temporarily, use of the printing material resource that is installed on the printer. When the trade use configuration is implemented, the printer provides for less or no control over the use of the printing material resource.

  • Patent number: 9898235
    Abstract: In one example of the disclosure, account data that is indicative of marking agent credits attributed to a printer is stored. The printer is a printer connected to a supply of marking agent. A marking agent credit is to authorize consumption of a credit amount of marking agent from the supply according to a subscription. A print job is received from a sponsor computing device. The account data is adjusted to add credits in an adjustment amount that is a function of marking agent consumption to print the job. The job is sent to the printer for printing.
