Abstract: In an example, replaceable print apparatus component authentication apparatus comprises a memory and circuitry. An electrical characteristic of the circuitry may be variable in response to a stimulus, and the memory may store data indicative of an expected variation in the electrical characteristic in response to the stimulus which is associated with a variation in capacitance.

Abstract: In an example, a method comprises fabricating a first validation device for association with a first replaceable print apparatus component. The device may be to form part of circuitry arranged on the first replaceable print apparatus component, and may provide an associated electrically detectable characteristic which varies with the position of at least part of the first validation device. The electrically detectable characteristic may be measured and data indicative of the characteristic may be stored in a first memory. The first replaceable print apparatus component comprising the first device and the first memory may be assembled.

Abstract: A fluid container orientation sensor is disclosed. The fluid container orientation sensor may comprise a first vibrational member having a first resonant behaviour and a second vibrational member having a second resonant behaviour. The first vibrational member may be disposed at a first depth within the fluid container. The second vibrational member may be disposed at a second depth within the fluid container A method and a print apparatus are also disclosed.

Abstract: A printing material supply may include a body to contain a printing material, a latch pivotably coupled to the body by a living hinge and a latch protector. The latch protector may include a structure coupled to and projecting from the body so as to contact a packaging surface of a package to inhibit creep of the latch about the living hinge when the printing material supply is contained within the packaging.

Abstract: An ink cartridge is disclosed that includes a single cast reservoir portion of a first polymer configuration, the reservoir portion including raised walls that extend up to a top edge, the raised walls including a back wall. A latch handle protrudes from the back wall. A single cast lid is attached to the top edge. The lid is of a second polymer configuration that is stronger than the first polymer configuration.

Abstract: Liquid supply or reservoir therefore having multiple compartments, each compartment to hold a distinct liquid, comprising multiple liquid outlets, each fluidically connected to one of the compartments, multiple clearance cut outs disposed at a pitch equal to a pitch of the compartments to accommodate protrusions of a dispenser, and at least one latch protruding outwards from a supply wall.

Abstract: In one example, a group of printing fluid cartridges in which each cartridge includes: a reservoir; a printing fluid outlet from the reservoir; multiple electrical contacts arranged next to one another across the cartridge with an interface along the cartridge between each pair of adjacent electrical contacts; and multiple guideways next to the electrical contacts lengthwise and configured to align the cartridge to a receiver when the cartridge is installed in the receiver. Each of the guideways spans exactly one of the interfaces widthwise and is configured to simultaneously align the electrical contacts to corresponding electrical contacts on a receiver and to discriminate the cartridge from other printing fluid cartridges to prevent the cartridge from being inserted incorrectly into a receiver.

Abstract: In one example, a printing fluid cartridge includes a reservoir, an outlet from the reservoir, multiple electrical contacts arranged next to one another, and an alignment slot next to and spanning only one interface between two of the electrical contacts. The alignment slot is configured to align the cartridge to a receiver when the cartridge is installed in the receiver.
