Publication number: 20080211874Abstract: A fluid ejector head, including a fluid ejector disposed on an ejector support, and a semiconductive junction photo sensor electrically coupled to the fluid ejector. The fluid ejector head also includes a photon source photonically coupled only to the semiconductive junction photo sensor. Photons emitted from the photon source interact with the semiconductive junction photo sensor and generate an activation signal. The activation signal in turn activates the fluid ejector ejecting a fluid away from the fluid ejector.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 5, 2008Publication date: September 4, 2008Inventors: Antonio S. Cruz-Uribe, Mohammad M. Samii, Scott W. Hock, Marshall Field

Patent number: 7104623Abstract: A fluid ejection system includes a fluid ejection assembly including a plurality of photosensors and a first array of fluid ejection elements. Each of the fluid ejection elements is configured to cause fluid to be ejected when the fluid ejection element is activated. Each one of the photosensors is coupled to a respective one of the fluid ejection elements for activating the fluid ejection element. A first light source emits a light beam. A control system scans the light beam across the fluid ejection assembly and selectively illuminates the photosensors, thereby activating the fluid ejection elements coupled to the illuminated photosensors.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2002Date of Patent: September 12, 2006Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventor: Mohammad M.

Patent number: 7086716Abstract: A fluid-ejection assembly of one embodiment is disclosed comprising first and second arrays of fluid-ejection mechanisms, first and second service stations, and first and second drive mechanisms. The first array ejects fluid onto media; the first service station is to service the first array. The second array ejects fluid onto the media; the second service station is to service the second array. The first drive mechanism moves the first array between a first position to eject fluid onto the media and a second position at the first service station, while the second array ejects fluid onto the media in place of the first array. The second drive mechanism moves the second array between a third position to eject fluid onto the media and a fourth position at the second service station while the first array ejects fluid onto the media in place of the second array.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2003Date of Patent: August 8, 2006Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Steve Steinfield, Scott Hock, Myron A.
