  • Patent number: 12670296
    Abstract: Generating a request for reprocessing of a replaceable supply component may include sending to a non-volatile memory of a replaceable supply component, a request for information about the replaceable supply component. The method may include receiving from the replaceable supply component, the supply component information, wherein the supply component information includes data to be decrypted by an exchange service. The method may further include generating a request blob including the supply component information, and cryptographically signing the request blob for sending to the exchange service for reprocessing of the replaceable supply component.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 12, 2021
    Date of Patent: June 30, 2026
    Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.
    Inventors: Kyle Michel, Laurent Pizot, Jefferson P. Ward, Steven T. Castle, Talal Sadak, Scott A. Putz, Gabriel Scott McDaniel, Paul L. Jeran

  • Patent number: 8310735
    Abstract: In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a transparent platen supported over an inside of a tub, an elongated member situated in the tub in a horizontal plane, a plurality of biasing members operatively connected to the elongated member, and a plurality of gap-maintaining members operable to connect to an image capture module and operatively connected to the platen. The elongated member is movable within a tub in a vertical plane, to movably support an image capture module in a horizontal plane. The biasing members are operable to urge the elongated member towards the platen. The gap-maintaining members are operable to maintain a constant distance between platen and an image capture module.

  • Patent number: 6236830
    Abstract: A heated fuser roller that includes an elongated roller and a series of heating wires extending axially through the roller. The heating wires are positioned near the surface of the roller. Voltage is applied from a power source to the heating wires through conductive disks mounted on each end of the roller. A conductive wiper, shoe or other suitable contact device slides along each disk to maintain the electrical connection between the disks and the power source as the roller rotates.
