Abstract: A printhead module for a printhead assembly is provided comprising at least one printhead integrated circuit having nozzles formed therein for delivering printing fluid onto the surface of print media, a support member supporting and carrying printing fluid for the at least one printhead integrated circuit, and at least one fluid distribution member mounting the at least one printhead integrated circuit to the support member and distributing the printing fluid from the support member to the printhead integrated circuit. A lower surface of the at least one fluid distribution member being fixedly attached to an upper surface of the support member by an adhesive material.

Abstract: A printhead module for a printhead assembly is provided as a unitary arrangement of a support member, at least two printhead integrated circuits, each of which has nozzles formed therein for delivering printing fluid onto the surface of print media, at least one fluid distribution member mounting the at least two printhead integrated circuits to the support member, and an electrical connector for connecting electrical signals to the at least two printhead integrated circuits. The support member has at least one longitudinally extending channel for carrying the printing fluid for the printhead integrated circuits, with a plurality of apertures extending through a wall thereof arranged so as to direct the printing fluid from the at least one channel to associated nozzles in the printhead integrated circuits.

Abstract: An inkjet printhead includes an elongate casing that defines a longitudinally extending mounting formation. A series of printhead modules are positioned in the mounting formation. Each printhead module includes a support member that defines a plurality of longitudinally extending conduits for conveying respective inks. A series of ink distribution arrangements is positioned on the support member. The support member defines a series of sets of apertures. The apertures of each set are in fluid communication with respective conduits and the ink distribution arrangements are in fluid communication with respective sets. A printhead integrated circuit is mounted on each ink distribution arrangement to receive ink from the support member via the associated ink distribution arrangement.

Abstract: A printhead assembly is provided comprising at least one printhead module comprising at least two printhead integrated circuits, a support member for supporting and carrying the printing fluid for the at least two printhead integrated circuits, and an electrical connector for connecting electrical signals to the at least two printhead integrated circuits, drive electronics incorporating at least one controller which is connected to at least one of the at least two printhead integrated circuits via the electrical connector for controlling the printing operation of at least one of the at least two printhead integrated circuits, and a casing in which the at least one printhead module and the drive electronics are removably mounted. The drive electronics is provided on a printed circuit board which is supported by a support frame of the casing via at least one mounting element.

Abstract: A water skimmer vessel has two hulls (12, 14) between which a debris collection net or basket-like catcher (22) is arranged. Hinged flaps (68) are provided at each end of the catcher and operate to allow inflow but block outflow of debris from the catcher. Each hull of the vessel is equiped with amoter covered by a guard (28). The vessel may move in either direction and is equipped with sensors (30) on each hulll for effecting the turning and reversing of the vessel upon contact with pool skimmer box inlet (206) and the vessel can be controlled to enter the dock and permit the contents of the catcher to be discharged into the current of pool water flowing into the skimmer box.

Abstract: A printer is disclosed which has— (a) a pagewidth printhead assembly having a pagewidth printhead and a plurality of nozzles located along the printhead for delivering ink onto print media as it is transported past the printhead, and (b) a capping mechanism associated with the printhead. The capping mechanism comprises— (i) a capping member formed from a flexible sheet-like material having a width corresponding substantially to the length of the printhead and being provided as a replaceable roll from which a portion of the material is in use drawn to locate in nozzle capping engagement with the printhead, and (ii) a take-up reel arranged to take-up spent capping material following a capping operation. Also disclosed is a printer in which, as an optional aspect, a platen is positioned adjacent the printhead and arranged to engage with and position the capping member in nozzle capping engagement with the printhead.

Abstract: The present invention provides an interior panel assembly for a load center having a plurality of adjacent components for distributing electrical service to branch circuits. The panel assembly includes at least one bus bar formed with branch stabs for electrically connecting to terminals extending from a plurality of circuit interrupters and a generally planar support base having a front face for securing each bus bar. One end of each bus bar is adapted for electrical and mechanical connection to one of the adjacent components. The panel assembly aligns the interior panel assembly relative to an adjacent component and relative to an enclosure for the load center so that the adjacent component connects electrical service to each bus bar and the interior panel assembly secures within the enclosure. Preferably, at least one pair of flanges is integrally formed along the circumference of the support base. The pair of flanges are positioned along opposing ends of the support base.

Abstract: A fuel cell is made, where a porous electrolyte retaining matrix layer, containing acid electrolyte, is disposed between a pair of spaced apart gas diffusion electrodes; where the matrix contains ZrP.sub.2 O.sub.7 and binder, with no more than about a 10 wt. % total of the matrix containing non-binder material reactive with acid electrolyte.
