Publication number: 20240042779Abstract: Examples include a method for priming a printhead that comprises a bag associated with a pump. A first control signal, which corresponds to a first target pressure, is applied to the pump. Directly after the application of the first control signal, a second control signal, which corresponds to a second target pressure, is applied to the pump. The second target pressure is lower than the first target pressure.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 8, 2021Publication date: February 8, 2024Applicant: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Sheila CABELLO CABRERA, Mauricio SERAS FRANZOSO, Andreu CORTES VICENS

Patent number: 11214068Abstract: There is provided a maintenance apparatus to, while in a service zone, perform a cleaning operation of a set of printheads within a carriage. The maintenance apparatus comprises a cleaning structure and an actuation mechanism. The actuation mechanism is arranged to position the cleaning structure between an engaged configuration and a disengaged configuration. The disengaged configuration is activated by a first triggering element associated to the carriage interacting with the actuation mechanism subsequent to a cleaning operation. The engaged configuration is activated by a second triggering element as the carriage moves away from the service zone.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2018Date of Patent: January 4, 2022Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Sheila Cabello Cabrera, Mauricio Seras Franzoso, Andreu Cortes Vicens

Patent number: 10625500Abstract: In an example, a print apparatus includes a printhead carriage to receive a printhead comprising a print agent ejection nozzle, a drop detector to acquire a signal indicative of variations in a parameter detected by the drop detector over a period of drop detection, a memory to hold a print agent ejection signature, and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry includes a convolution module to convolve the drop detector signal with the print agent ejection signature, and the processing circuitry is to determine, from an output of the convolution module, an indication of similarity between the drop detector signal and the print agent ejection signature.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 2016Date of Patent: April 21, 2020Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Pere Tuset, Xavier Vilajosana, Sheila Cabello
