Patent number: 11409220Abstract: According to examples, an apparatus may include a processor and a memory on which are stored machine-readable instructions that when executed by the processor, may cause the processor to print a first indicia at a first region on a first side of a print medium. The instructions may also cause the processor to print a second indicia at a second region on the first side of the print medium, in which the second region may be spaced a prescribed distance from the first region along a first edge of the print medium. In some examples, a relative position of the first indicia to the second indicia may correlate to a skew correction value for the first edge of the print medium.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2019Date of Patent: August 9, 2022Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventor: Mark J. Wibbels

Patent number: 11221809Abstract: Examples disclosed herein relate to unlocking consumables of imaging devices. Example imaging devices include a lock to secure a consumable to the imaging device. A feedback engine of the imaging device may selectively generate a signal in response to an actuation event to control a component to indicate the consumable is secured. A lock control engine of the imaging device may determine if the actuation event is approved to unlock the consumable. A release engine of the imaging device may disengage the lock in response to approval of the actuation event.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2018Date of Patent: January 11, 2022Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Kenneth K. Smith, Dean J Richtsmeier, Doug Batten, Mark J Wibbels

Patent number: 11132159Abstract: An example system includes a client interface to receive a print job from a client device, wherein the print job includes a user identifier (UID) and a current user location. The example system further includes a controller having an adaptive caching portion to determine that the current user location is a new user location for the UID, identify at least one printer identifier (PID) associated with the new user location, and associate the UID with the new user location and the at least one PID. The system further includes a printer interface to adaptively cache the print job in its entirety at least at one printer corresponding to the at least one PID.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2017Date of Patent: September 28, 2021Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Brian C Mayer, Kenneth K Smith, Mark J Wibbels

Publication number: 20200391501Abstract: An example door lock includes a button with a first region and a second region. The button actuates among multiple positions upon being engaged. A first link member is aligned to the button to detect a state of engagement of a door to a consumables compartment of an electronic device. A sensor is aligned to the button and the first link member to receive a signal from a signal generator based on the state of engagement of the door. A second link member has a first end to align with the button, and a second end to engage the door. A transducer causes the first end to align with the button to disengage the second end from the door upon engagement of the button with the first end.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 6, 2018Publication date: December 17, 2020Inventors: Mark Hirst, Mark J Wibbels
