Abstract: An inkjet printing apparatus is provided with a tank that stores ink, a print head that performs print operation by ejecting ink supplied from the tank, a circulation unit that establishes a circulating state to circulate ink in a circulation path if print operation is performed and establishes a stopped state to stop circulation of ink if print operation is terminated, and a deaeration unit that performs deaeration operation to deaerate ink inside the circulation path. The apparatus includes an estimation unit that estimates a dissolved gas amount in ink inside the circulation path based on dissolved gas amounts increased in the circulating state and in the stopped state, respectively, and a control unit that causes the deaeration unit to execute deaeration operation after completion of print operation if the dissolved gas amount estimated by the estimation unit exceeds a predetermined threshold.

Abstract: A training operation may be performed by a memory controller to provide a system clock signal and a data clock signal having a desired temporal (e.g., phase) relationship to one another. The system clock and data clock signals may be provided to a memory. In some examples, the memory controller may provide a command to the memory to put the memory in a training mode. Once in the training mode, the memory controller may provide a write command and toggle the data clock signal a number of times. If the memory provides one output, the memory controller may adjust the relationship between the data clock and system clock signals. If the memory provides another output, the memory controller may maintain the relationship between the data clock and system clock signals and exit the training mode.
