  • Patent number: 11968802
    Abstract: Heat sink and heat sink arrangements are provided for an electronic device immersed in a liquid coolant. A heat sink may comprise: a base for mounting on top of a heat-transmitting surface of the electronic device and transferring heat from the heat-transmitting surface; and a retaining wall extending from the base and defining a volume. A heat sink may have a wall arrangement to define a volume, in which the electronic device is mounted. A heat sink may be for an electronic device to be mounted on a surface in a container, in an orientation that is substantially perpendicular to a floor of the container. Heat is transferred from the electronic device to liquid coolant held in the heat sink volume. A cooling module comprising a heat sink is also provided. A nozzle arrangement may direct liquid coolant to a base of the heat sink.

  • Patent number: 11310379
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for reviewing printed jobs. On embodiment is a system comprising a print review device. The print review device includes a memory that stores an image of a test pattern printed by printheads of a printer, and a controller that generates a Graphical User Interface (GUI), for presentation at a display, depicting states of the printheads based on the image, receives input from a user selecting one of the printheads, correlates the printhead with a portion of the image, and presents the portion of the image for review at the GUI. The controller also identifies locations on the portion that are correlated with nozzles of the printhead, and selectively highlights the locations based on state information for the nozzles.

  • Patent number: 11273636
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for adaptive printhead cleaning. One embodiment is a printer maintenance system that includes memory to store defect information of a group of nozzles of a printer, and a processor to determine whether the group of nozzles have a number of nozzle defects that exceeds a threshold based on the defect information. In response to a determination that the threshold is exceeded, the processor determines a type of cleaning operation, a cleaning duration, and a cleaning intensity to perform for the group of nozzles based on the defect information. The processor then initiates a cleaning operation for the group of nozzles according to the type of cleaning operation, the cleaning duration, and the cleaning intensity determined for the group of nozzles.
