Patent number: 7373265Abstract: The present invention includes a data storage device and a method of reading data in a data storage device. Accordingly, a first aspect of the present invention is a data storage device. The data storage device includes a probe tip mounted on a suspension mechanism, a data storage layer, at least one conducting layer wherein a capacitance is formed between the suspension mechanism and the at least one conducting layer and a sensor for sensing a change in the capacitance based on a displacement of the probe tip due to the presence of a bit.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2003Date of Patent: May 13, 2008Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Gary A. Gibson, Robert Walmsley, James W. Pearson

Patent number: 6592205Abstract: A printhead is formed from a plurality of ink ejectors mounted on an inner surface of a rigid substrate while protruding through holes provided in the substrate. Electrical contact is provided on a surface of the ink ejectors common with the ink ejecting nozzles thereby avoiding vias to another surface. The rigid substrate provides a conducting layer on its inner surface such that the ink ejectors may be connected thereto with solder reflow techniques.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2001Date of Patent: July 15, 2003Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Timothy Beerling, James W Pearson, Antonio Cruz-Uribe, Melissa D. Boyd

Patent number: 6412901Abstract: A monitoring system monitors a pressure wave developed in the surrounding ambient environment during inkjet droplet formation. The monitoring system uses either acoustic, ultrasonic, or other pressure wave monitoring mechanisms, such as a laser vibrometer, an ultrasonic transducer, or an accelerometer sensor, for instance, a microphone to detect droplet formation. One sensor is incorporated in the printhead itself, while others may be located externally. The monitoring system generates information used to determine current levels of printhead performance, to which the printer may respond by adjusting print modes, servicing the printhead, adjusting droplet formation, or by providing an early warning before an inkjet cartridge is completely empty. During printhead manufacturing, an array of such sensors may be used in quality assurance to determine printhead performance. An inkjet printing mechanism is also equipped for using this monitoring system, and a monitoring method is also provided.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2001Date of Patent: July 2, 2002Assignee: Hewlett-Packard CompanyInventors: Wen-Li Su, Trudy L.

Patent number: 6250738Abstract: An inkjet printing system includes a scalable printhead with an ink manifold. The scalable printhead is formed by mounting an ink manifold and multiple thermal inkjet printhead dies to a carrier substrate. The carrier substrate is machined to include through-slots. There is a through-slot for each refill slot among the multiple printhead dies. A first end of a given through-slot connects to a refill slot of a corresponding printhead die. An opposite, second end of the through-slot connects to the ink manifold. The ink manifold includes an inlet for coupling to an ink supply reservoir. The ink manifold also includes one or more channels and a plurality of feed openings. Each feed opening connects to a printhead die refill slot by way of a substrate through-slot.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 1998Date of Patent: June 26, 2001Assignee: Hewlett-Packard CompanyInventors: David J Waller, Timothy E Beerling, Melissa D Boyd, James W Pearson, Marvin G Wong
