Handheld And/Or Mountable Fluid-Ejection Device Having Tip-Extension Assembly And/Or Tubings

US Patent:
8211383, Jul 3, 2012
Filed:
Apr 20, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/738408
Inventors:
Jeffrey A. Nielsen - Corvallis OR, US
Blair M. Kent - Camas WA, US
George Melchiorsen - Albany OR, US
Paul E. Watts - Corvallis OR, US
Paul Joseph Bruinsma - San Diego CA, US
Assignee:
Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. - Houston TX
International Classification:
B01L 3/00
US Classification:
422500, 422 50, 422501, 422502, 347 40, 347109
Abstract:
A fluid-ejection device includes a handheld and/or mountable enclosure, a removable tip having a fluid-ejection mechanism, a first fitting extending from the enclosure and receptive to placement of the removable tip thereon, and a controller situated within the enclosure to cause the removable tip to eject the fluid. The fluid-ejection device may also include tip-extension assembly having an electrical cable connecting to the controller and having a second fitting receptive to placement of the removable tip thereon. The electrical cable permits the removable tip to be located substantially independently of the enclosure. The fluid-ejection device may further include tubings fluidically couplable with the removable tip through at least one of the first and second fittings to provide fluid to the removable tip and to regulate backpressure of the fluid within the removable tip.

Preston Seu - Vancouver WA, US
Assignee:
Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. - Houston TX
International Classification:
B01L 3/00
US Classification:
422501
Abstract:
A fluid-ejection device includes a handheld and/or mountable enclosure, a removable tip, a cap, a pneumatic fitting, and a controller. The removable tip has a fluid-ejection mechanism located at an end thereof. The cap is disposed on the end of the removable tip such that just the fluid-ejection mechanism is exposed through the cap. The pneumatic fitting extends from the enclosure and is receptive to placement of the removable tip thereon. The controller is situated within the enclosure to cause the removable tip to eject fluid.

Recirculating Inkjet Printing System

US Patent:
7040745, May 9, 2006
Filed:
Oct 31, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/285251
Inventors:
Blair M Kent - Camas WA, US
Assignee:
Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. - Houston TX
International Classification:
B41J 2/18
US Classification:
347 89
Abstract:
In a recirculating inkjet print recording method and system, ink is stored at an ink supply. Fluid, including ink, is carried from the ink supply to a reservoir. Ink received from the reservoir is recorded onto a medium. Fluid, including ink and air, is carried from the reservoir to the ink supply. A proportion of ink in the fluid carried from the reservoir to the ink supply self-adjusts to prevent overfilling the reservoir.
