Patent number: 8636345Abstract: A connector for connecting to an ink container. In one embodiment, the connector includes a housing that defines an interior space, a latch lever pivotally mounted to the housing that is adapted to secure the connector to the ink container, and an internal switch provided within the interior space of the housing, the internal switch being configured to send a signal to a printer associated with the ink container when the switch is tripped, wherein the internal switch is tripped when the latch lever is pivoted by a user during disconnection of the connector from the ink container but before the connector is in fact disconnected.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2010Date of Patent: January 28, 2014Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Holli C. Ogle, Francesc Ros Cerro, Martin Urrutia Nebreda, Richard Lewis, Marc Bautista Palacios

Patent number: 7950791Abstract: An ink cartridge configured to hold an ink includes a substantially hollow body including an inner space and a substantially continuous inner wall. An optical prism in the inner space is disposed at a predetermined distance from the continuous inner wall such that an ink pocket is defined by a prism wall and the continuous inner wall. The prism includes at least one reflection site formed at an angle configured to reflect light from a light source through the prism at a predetermined height relative to a bottom of the body. If ink is present in the ink pocket at a level below at least a portion of the reflection site, the ink does not block the light reflected off of the portion of the reflection site from traveling across the ink pocket at the predetermined height, such that the reflected light is externally detectable by electronic means.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2007Date of Patent: May 31, 2011Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Holli C. Ogle, Ralph L. Stathem, Marc A. Baldwin

Patent number: 7673968Abstract: A user inserts one or more consumable enclosures into one or more corresponding slots of a printing device. The user engages a locking mechanism of the printing device into a corresponding feature of each consumable enclosure. The printing device detects user engagement of the locking mechanism. In response to the user performing a consumable enclosure-related action, the printing device substantially impedes user access to the locking mechanism and the consumable enclosures until the user has entered an unlock code.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2007Date of Patent: March 9, 2010Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Holli C. Ogle, Ralph L. Stathem, Jefferson P. Ward

Patent number: 7669995Abstract: A sealing component includes an elastomeric material. An exterior side surface of the elastomeric material is to define at least a first seal with a first external mating member into which the sealing component is insertable. An interior surface of the elastomeric material is to define a second seal and a third seal with a second external mating member insertable into the sealing component.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2009Date of Patent: March 2, 2010Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Holli C. Ogle, John L. Taylor, Marc A. Baldwin
