Patent number: 10160206Abstract: Accounting for oscillations with drop ejection waveforms can include identifying a previous ejection waveform having a first plurality of parameters including a time interval from a final pulse of the previous ejection waveform. Accounting for oscillations with drop ejection waveforms can include determining a second plurality of parameters based on the first plurality of parameters, where the second plurality of parameters define a current ejection waveform that accounts for oscillations caused by the previous ejection waveform. Accounting for oscillations with drop ejection waveforms can include applying the current ejection waveform to cause an ejection nozzle of the printhead to generate a desired fluid drop.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2013Date of Patent: December 25, 2018Assignee: HEWLETT-PACKARD DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, L.P.Inventors: Zhizhang Chen, Tony S.

Patent number: 8232960Abstract: Among various embodiments of the present disclosure, displaying electrophoretic particles can be performed by configuring an electrophoretic display for directed spreading of electrophoretic particles across a number of substantially planar display electrodes. Such a configuration can be accomplished by controlling planar spreading of the electrophoretic particles in an electrophoretic pixel with an electrical field between an in-plane storage electrode and an in-plane activation electrode. The in-plane activation electrode can be connected to an in-plane display electrode, which extends across a first area in the electrophoretic pixel adjacent to a display aperture having a second area that is substantially coextensive with the first area.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2008Date of Patent: July 31, 2012Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Peter J.
