    Abstract: In some examples, a system includes a device support to receive a fluid dispensing device, and a controller to identify, based on data controlling activation of fluidic actuators, a fluidic actuator that is to be activated in a first activation cycle of a group of activation cycles that correspond to activation intervals of respective fluidic actuators of a group of fluidic actuators of the fluid dispensing device, the identified fluidic actuator being part of the group of fluidic actuators. To perform a sense measurement for the identified fluidic actuator, the controller suppresses activation of the identified fluidic actuator in the first activation cycle, and causes activation of the identified fluidic actuator in a sense measurement cycle different from the first activation cycle, the sense measurement cycle being part of the group of activation cycles.

    Abstract: In one example a fluid level sensing device is described. The device includes a sensing die having a number of fluid level sensors disposed thereon and a number of control devices, each control device corresponding to one of the number of fluid level sensors. A control device includes a comparing device to determine a state of a corresponding fluid level sensor. A state of the fluid level sensor is selected from the group consisting of a fluid state and a no-fluid state. Each control device also includes a non-volatile memory device corresponding to the comparing device to indicate whether the corresponding fluid level sensor is at the fluid state or the no-fluid state. A control device also includes a locking device to irreversibly set the non-volatile memory device to the no-fluid state independent of a write command from a controller.

    Abstract: In one example, a fluid level sensor includes control logic, and an array of sensing locations to detect a level of fluid in a container. The array of sensing locations include a number of memory cells located at a number of sensing locations in the array of sensing locations, a word line coupled to the memory cells, a bit line coupled to the memory cells, and a pre-charge circuit coupled to the word line and the bit line. The control logic instructs a number FETs coupled to a bit line to disconnect from a number of the memory cells, and power up the memory cells to cause the memory cells to take a first state or a second state. The control logic outputs the state of the memory cells to a Pre-charge processing device. The state of the memory cells defines the level of the fluid in the container.

    Abstract: In some examples, a fluid die includes a fluid nozzle, a first latch, a second latch, and a timing circuit comprising a counter and a comparator. The timing circuit is to trigger the first latch, at a first predetermined time instant from an edge of a firing pulse, to store a first test result obtained based on a voltage measured across the fluid nozzle, and trigger the second latch, at a second predetermined time instant from the edge of the firing pulse, to store a second test result obtained based on a voltage measured across the fluid nozzle.
