    Abstract: A fluid level sensing device includes a substrate (210) and a sensing die (216) cantilevered at one end from the substrate. A number of sensing components (218), preferably thermal or impedance sensing components, are disposed on the sensing die and detect a fluid level in a fluid reservoir. A protective member (208) is also cantilevered at one end from the substrate alongside the sensing die. Electrical interconnects (212) output data collected from the number of sensing components. A number of sensing dies may be provided to lengthen the sensing device, in which case the protective cover extends alongside and parallel to the number of sensing dies.

    Abstract: An example printing cartridge includes a sensing die including a plurality of sensing locations in thermal contact with a fluid container, an on-die controller to select a sensing location of the plurality of sensing locations to activate and to provide a variable threshold voltage, and a voltage comparator to compare a sensed voltage generated at a selected sensing location to the variable threshold voltage, and output time-based information based on the comparison, the time-based information representative of whether a fluid is present at a fluid level associated with the selected sensing location.

    Abstract: Selecting nozzles can include selecting nozzles of a plurality of nozzles to print a portion of a print job based on content of the print job and assigning firing reservations to the selected nozzles, where a total number of the firing reservations assigned to the selected nozzles is comparatively less than a total number of the plurality of nozzles.
