  • Energy storage discharge circuitry
    Patent number: 8194376
    Abstract: Storage device discharge means and methods are provided. Printer circuitry detects one or more anomalous operating conditions and asserts a switch, shunting storage capacitors to ground potential through a resistive load. Discharge of the storage capacitors protects inkjet firing resistors against damage that could otherwise result from the uncontrolled application of stored electrical energy.
    Type: Grant
