    Abstract: A fluid reservoir (101) includes a number of electrode pairs disposed within the fluid reservoir. Each of the electrode pairs includes a number of sensing electrodes (103), and a number of electrical traces (105) wherein the sensing electrodes are coupled to a respective one of the electrical traces. The fluid reservoir also includes a common electrode (104) electrically coupled to a voltage source (106). A number of properties of a fluid (110) within the fluid reservoir are detected by applying a voltage between the sensing electrodes in an electrode pair, and a level of the fluid within the fluid reservoir is detected by applying a voltage between the electrodes and the common electrode. A multiplexer (102) may be used to selectively couple the sensing electrodes (103) to a processing device (108). The fluid reservoir may be a printing fluid container.

    Abstract: Examples associated with user authentication are described. One example method includes authenticating a user of a device using a static authentication technique. A behavior profile associated with the user is loaded. The behavior profile describes a pattern of device usage behavior by the user in a three-dimensional space over a time slice. The behavior profile also identifies distinctive user habits. Usage of the device is monitored, and a behavior similarity index is periodically updated. The behavior similarity index describes a similarity between the usage of the device and the pattern of device usage behavior. The behavior similarity index is weighted based on the distinctive user habits. Access to the device is restricted when the behavior similarity index reaches a predefined threshold.

    Abstract: A surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) sensor may include a nano structured surface and a nonstoichiometric oxide layer. The nano structured surfers may include a first peak, a second peak and a valley between the first peak and the second peak. The non-stoichiometric oxide layer may include a first portion on the first peak and a second portion on the second peak.
