Abstract: An ink system of an ink jet printer includes a fluid tank. The fluid tank includes a generally conically shaped side wall, the side wall sloping inwardly from a top portion to a bottom portion. A bottom surface is disposed adjacent the bottom portion of the side wall. A first fluid conduit is disposed in the fluid tank and includes an opening adjacent to and above the bottom surface of the fluid tank. A second fluid conduit is disposed in the fluid tank and includes an opening at a location above the opening of the first fluid conduit. A pump is in fluid communication with the first fluid conduit and the second fluid conduit. An ink supply line is in fluid communication with the pump. A print head is in fluid communication with the ink supply line.

Abstract: A remote actuating device for a pressurized dispenser is disclosed. The device includes a pressurized dispenser attachment and actuator portion having a nose portion and a trigger portion. The nose portion is adapted for coupling the device to the dispenser by resiliently deforming to fit within an annular channel of the pressurized dispenser. The trigger portion is operable to depress or release an actuating member of the pressurized container. The trigger portion is a lever having one end which, in use, is in contact with the actuating member of the pressurized dispenser and an opposite end which, when operated, causes the opposite end to depress or release the actuating member of the pressurized container. The device also includes a pressurized dispenser handling portion having a flange attached to a hollow cylindrical rod attachment portion and the pressurized dispenser attachment and actuator portion.

Abstract: A well sealing device using an internal propellant charge to drive slip segments outwardly against a well casing. A pin shears, releasing the device from its wire line prior to final setting of the slip segments.
