Patent number: 12670296Abstract: Generating a request for reprocessing of a replaceable supply component may include sending to a non-volatile memory of a replaceable supply component, a request for information about the replaceable supply component. The method may include receiving from the replaceable supply component, the supply component information, wherein the supply component information includes data to be decrypted by an exchange service. The method may further include generating a request blob including the supply component information, and cryptographically signing the request blob for sending to the exchange service for reprocessing of the replaceable supply component.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2021Date of Patent: June 30, 2026Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Kyle Michel, Laurent Pizot, Jefferson P. Ward, Steven T. Castle, Talal Sadak, Scott A. Putz, Gabriel Scott McDaniel, Paul L. Jeran

Patent number: 12645467Abstract: An example method comprising requesting authorization to reprocess a replaceable supply component using an interface and original manufacturing data stored in memory of the replaceable supply component. The method further comprises, in response to the request, receiving configuration data using the interface, and appending the original manufacturing data with the configuration data to designate the replaceable supply component as reprocessed, wherein the configuration data is to cause reconfiguration of an end-user device in response to attachment of the replaceable supply component to the end-user device and execution by the end-user device.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2021Date of Patent: June 2, 2026Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Paul L Jeran, Jesse Otto Sutherland, III, Kyle Michel, Gabriel Scott Mcdaniel

Publication number: 20250353307Abstract: Reprocessing of a replaceable supply component may include receiving from an encoding device and using an interface communicatively coupled to the encoding device, a request blob to reprocess a replaceable supply component. The method may include in response to cryptographically verifying the request blob, extracting from the request blob, a supply identifier and raw supply data. The method further includes using the supply identifier and raw supply data, generating a reprocess structure to append or amend original manufacturing data for the replaceable supply component, and providing a response blob to the encoding device, to designate the replaceable supply component as a reprocessed supply component.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 2, 2025Publication date: November 20, 2025Inventors: Kyle MICHEL, Laurent PIZOT, Kyle MANNARI, Elijah HOULE, Honee L. MESA, Teresa M. O'KEEFFE, Lee JACKSON, Gabriel Scott MCDANIEL, Steven T. CASTLE, Paul L. JERAN, David B. NOVAK

Patent number: 12406077Abstract: A logic circuitry package for a print apparatus includes a serial data bus interface to interface with a serial data bus, the logic circuit to respond to messages from the print apparatus over the serial data bus directed to a number of different addresses using different component keys for cryptographic authentication corresponding to each different address, the different component keys related to at least one master key of the print apparatus. The logic circuitry package further includes control logic which, in response to a session initiation request message on the serial data bus from the print apparatus, is to establish a secure communication session related to one of the different addresses, the control logic to cryptographically authenticate responses to each subsequent message of the secure communication session from the print apparatus using a component key corresponding to the address.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2020Date of Patent: September 2, 2025Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Jefferson P. Ward, Stephen D. Panshin, Kyle Michel

Publication number: 20180237161Abstract: Various arrangements for charging an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) may be presented. When flying in the vicinity of the UAV docking station, the UAV may identify the UAV docking station based on image recognition of an alignment graphic on a docking platform of the UAV docking station. The UAV may then determine a landing rotational orientation based on the image recognition. The UAV may rotate to the landing rotational orientation. The UAV may land on the docking platform of the UAV docking station in the landing rotational orientation such that electrical contacts of the UAV electrically connect with electrical contacts of the UAV docking station.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 21, 2017Publication date: August 23, 2018Inventors: Danny J. Minnick, Jordan Goldey, Kyle Michel, Samuel DeWhitt, Kevin Jones, Jessica Mann
