Patent number: 10303405Abstract: In one example of the disclosure, environmental data indicative of an environmental factor measured at a printer is received via a network. The receipt of the environmental data is via an authorized non-anonymous data flow from the printer. Instructions for a service event to occur at the printer are determined based upon the environmental data. The service event instructions are sent, via the network, to the printer to cause the printer to perform the service event.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2016Date of Patent: May 28, 2019Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Michael Mulloy, William Jon Rittgers, Odhran Hendley, Bryan Murphy, Eduardo Macias

Patent number: 9126416Abstract: In one example, a fluid cartridge for an inkjet type liquid dispensing device includes a housing having a chamber therein for holding a liquid, a vent through which air may enter the chamber, and an outlet through which liquid may pass from the chamber out of the housing. A capillary material is disposed in the chamber between the vent and the outlet so that, when the capillary material is sufficiently depleted of liquid, the capillary material forms an airway from the vent to the outlet. The outlet configured to cause an abrupt break in a liquid connection in the outlet as air enters the outlet through the capillary material.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2012Date of Patent: September 8, 2015Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Bryan Murphy, William Jon Rittgers, Coilin Hegarty, Eduardo Macias, Odhran Hendley, Michael Mulloy
