Abstract: The present subject matter describes a heating unit. The heating unit comprises a heating element and a controlling unit coupled to the heating element to determine a desired value of a direct current (DC) voltage based on heating element parameters. The desired value is a value of DC voltage desired for operation of the heating element. The controlling unit computes a value of a duty cycle parameter based on device input parameters and the desired value of the DC voltage. The heating unit further comprises a power factor correction (PFC) unit coupled to the controlling unit and the heating element to convert an input alternating current (AC) voltage, received by the PFC unit from an AC supply, to a direct current (DC) voltage of the desired value based on the duty cycle parameter. The PFC unit provides the DC voltage to the heating element.

Abstract: A pump for the transfer a predetermined total volume of fluid from a pump inlet to a pump outlet in a unit of time is calibrated by deriving a count of the number of times a volume of the fluid is transferred from a pump inlet to a pump outlet in a unit of time; and adjusting the number of times the volume is transferred in a unit of time until the derived count is substantially equal to a predetermined threshold value.

Abstract: An example in accordance with an aspect of the present disclosure includes an ink channel of a printer, coupleable to an ink supply to receive an ink. A sensor assembly is mounted to the ink channel, including a sensor in fluid communication with the ink channel to identify an ink level of the ink supply based on a pressure difference between an air pressure, associated with the sensor assembly, and an ink pressure, associated with the ink channel.

Abstract: Inputting an input resistance to an operational amplifier. Detecting whether a number of fans are in operation based on the input resistance to the operational amplifier by driving a number of resistors connected in series in a fan circuit associated with the number of fans.

Abstract: An example device in accordance with an aspect of the present disclosure includes a sensor die having a sensitive region and a bond pad. A bond is formed between a wire and the bond pad of the sensor die. An encapsulant is to retain the wire at the bond pad and mechanically support the wire and the bond, based on covering the bond and wire according to an encapsulant height, extending from the bond pad, greater than a bond height. The encapsulant is localized at the bond pad of the sensor die to enable the sensitive region to remain uncovered by the encapsulant.
