  • COMPOSITE ELECTRODE FLUID LEVEL SENSING
    Publication number: 20230052524
    Abstract: A fluid level sensing system includes: a sensor electrode to extend into a fluid reservoir, the sensor electrode including (i) a first segment of a first material having a first conductivity, and (ii) a second segment of a second material having a second conductivity; and a controller connected to the sensor electrode, to: detect a response from the sensor electrode to an input applied to the fluid reservoir; and determine, based on the response, which of the first and second segments are in contact with fluid in the fluid reservoir.

  • Adaptive interpage delays
    Patent number: 11474766
    Abstract: An example method includes maintaining, by a processing resource associated with a finisher communicatively coupled to a printer, an interpage delay table, the interpage delay table storing an interpage delay value for each of a plurality of page attribute combinations. The method further includes processing, by the finisher, a job based at least in part on a particular interpage delay value stored in the interpage delay table for an identified page attribute combination.

  • PRINT SPEED ADJUSTMENT BASED ON A CALCULATED THROUGHPUT
    Publication number: 20210291567
    Abstract: In an example of a method for adjusting a print speed, a base throughput of a printing device is determined for a page gap and a print speed for a current page being constant. A calculated throughput for a number of upcoming pages is determined based on extra time for speeding up the print speed. The print speed is adjusted based on the base throughput and the calculated throughput.
