Patent number: 11117073Abstract: An example device includes a defrothing portion to separate froth into a coalesced fluid and air, an air vent to vent the air from the defrothing portion, and a membrane on an outer surface of the defrothing portion, the membrane sealing the air vent. The membrane is formed of a material to prevent fluid from passing therethrough.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2016Date of Patent: September 14, 2021Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Anthony Studer, Robert Wickwire

Patent number: 10661201Abstract: An example device includes a frame having at least one outer opening and at least one inner opening recessed from the outer opening, at least one filter screen mounted on a perimeter of the at least one inner opening to form an inner chamber, at least one cover layer mounted on a perimeter of the at least one outer chamber to form an outer chamber, and a series of bubblebreaking features positioned within the inner chamber. The bubble-breaking features are positioned along a depth and a height of the inner chamber. The filter screen separates the inner chamber from the outer chamber, and the filter screen prevents froth from crossing and allows coalesced fluid to cross into the outer chamber.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2016Date of Patent: May 26, 2020Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Anthony Studer, Robert Wickwire, John Farrar Wilson

Patent number: 7980532Abstract: A leveling device for vehicle wheels comprising a first integral planar member for mating with one or more additional integral planar members of substantially the same shape and dimension in releasable relationship. All integral members have four sides and an upper surface divided into a plurality of vertically projecting rows of pins with a row of projections situated up front. The bottom surface of each of the integral planar members include rows of sockets, each of which is conformable in shape and size to receive an individual pin in releasable frictional engagement. Each planar member also includes one partially beveled side with a sloped projection with one or more openings conformable to the shape and dimensions of the individual pins. Two or more integral planar members are adapted to stack one upon the other by mating pins and sockets of respective planar members so that the sloped projections overlap one another and are positioned in parallel relation.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2009Date of Patent: July 19, 2011Assignee: Valterra Products, Inc.Inventor: Robert Wickwire

Publication number: 20060187279Abstract: A fluid supply system for a printing device is disclosed. The fluid supply system includes an ink reservoir adapting member operatively disposed within an ink cartridge. The adapting member has an open end and an end opposed to the open end. The open end is adapted to have a filter disposed thereon. The opposed end is substantially angularly offset from the open end in a manner sufficient to substantially promote fluid and air migration toward a fluid conduit. A depth between the open end and the opposed end substantially varies along a length between two opposed sides of the adapting member. A predetermined area of the opposed end defines the fluid conduit, and the predetermined area is located at a region where the depth is substantially greatest. Further, the conduit is adapted to release fluid and air from the adapting member.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 24, 2005Publication date: August 24, 2006Inventors: Ashley Childs, Robert Wickwire
