Abstract: This disclosure describes a system including nodes coordinating via a distributed hash table. In one embodiment, the distributed hash table is a multi-dimensional hash table with at least one dimension associated with a network location (“space”), and a second dimension corresponding to time, where the rectangular regions of space-time are aggregated and compared in order to effectively isolate differing information between nodes for synchronization. Methods and systems are also described for resizing the arcs associated with different nodes as nodes enter and leave the system.

Abstract: An ink cartridge has a first portion having a plurality of chambers formed therein; a second portion attached to the first portion and having at least one opening into each of the plurality of chambers, and wherein for each opening the second portion further includes at least a portion of a fluid directing channel; and a third portion attached to the second portion and configured to receive a plurality of fluids and direct each of the plurality of fluids into one of the respective fluid directing channels such that each of the plurality of fluids flows into a respective one of the plurality of chambers.

Abstract: Various embodiments and methods relating to a web are disclosed.

Abstract: An inkjet printhead for a printing device includes a fluid reservoir operatively disposed within the printhead and a pressure regulation system in fluid communication with the fluid reservoir. The inkjet printhead also includes a nozzle plate having at least one nozzle, wherein the nozzle is in fluid communication with the fluid reservoir; as well as a vent port in fluid communication with the pressure regulation system. Further, the inkjet printhead for a printing device includes a passive vent in fluid communication with the vent port. The passive vent is configured to dissipate air pressure accumulated in the pressure regulation system during priming. The passive vent provides a controlled decay time for the priming air pressure.
