Abstract: A fluidic die includes fluid chambers, each including an electrode exposed to an interior of the fluid chamber and each having a corresponding fluid actuator operating at a high voltage. The fluidic die further includes monitoring circuitry, operating at a low voltage relative to the fluid actuator, to monitor a condition of each fluid chamber, for each chamber the monitoring circuitry including a connection structure and a select transistor and a pulldown transistor connected to the electrode via the connection structure. The connection structure and select and pulldown transistors together structured to form electrically conductive paths with electrical resistances to protect at least the select transistor from fault damage if the high voltage fluid actuator short-circuits to the electrode.

Abstract: A conductive wire disposed in a layer is described. An example apparatus includes a die including a silicon layer and a first layer coupled to the silicon layer. The example apparatus a conductive wire disposed in the first layer adjacent a perimeter of a location at which a fluid feed slot is to be formed in the silicon layer. The conductive wire has an electrical characteristic that corresponds to whether the fluid feed slot is defective.

Abstract: In one example in accordance with the present disclosure, a fluid ejection device is described. The fluid ejection device includes a substrate and a number of nozzles formed within the substrate to eject fluid. A number of bond pads are disposed on the substrate and are electrically coupled to the number of rows of nozzles. A termination ring is disposed on the substrate and surrounds the rows of nozzles. The termination ring includes a first metallic layer that is an enclosed shape and a second metallic layer that is disposed on top of the first metallic layer. The second metallic layer includes a gap positioned adjacent the number of bond pads.

Abstract: In some examples, a heater assembly for a pattern forming system includes a support, and heating elements mounted on the support, where the heating elements are to, in response to activation of the heating element, produce heat directed towards a target to form a pattern on the target. A heat sink is thermally connected to the heating elements and comprising a pattern of heat dissipation surfaces comprising channels to dissipate heat produced by the heating elements.
