Abstract: The present invention provides a storage device that enables identification data to be readily rewritten and ensures normal completion of a data writing operation in a short time period. In the storage device of the invention, an ID comparator determines whether or not identification data transmitted from a host computer coincides with identification data stored in a memory array. In the case of coincidence, the ID comparator sends an access enable signal EN to an operation code decoder. The operation code decoder analyzes a write/read command, switches over a direction of data transfer with regard to the memory array based on a result of the analysis, and requires an I/O controller to change a high impedance setting of a signal line connecting with a data terminal DT. This series of processing allows access to an address in the memory array specified by a count on an address counter.

Abstract: In an ink container 100 of the invention, an electric power generator 240 rectifies a carrier wave transmitted from a printer PT and thereby generates an electric power for driving a controller 210 and an RF circuit 200. A program voltage generator 250 and a sensor driving voltage generator 260 are connected in series with the electric power generator 240 to individually generate a program voltage required for writing data into an EEPROM 220 and a voltage required for driving a sensor SS including a piezoelectric element. The arrangement of the invention efficiently generates electric powers, which are to be supplied to respective constituents of a container for a printing material, such as the ink container 100, which establishes communication with a printing device, such as the printer PT, from a preset electric power generated by utilizing a radio wave.

Abstract: An ink cartridge has a sensor to detect ink. A printer's control device transmits a detection command and specified detection condition to the ink cartridge by radio communication. In response to input of the detection command into the ink cartridge, a sensor controller actuates and vibrates the sensor under the specified detection condition. The sensor is attached to a resonance chamber disposed in an ink chamber. The frequency of vibration of the sensor is regulated by a resonance frequency of the resonance chamber. The resonance frequency is varied by ink in the resonance chamber. Detection of the resonance frequency specifies if ink is in the resonance chamber and the remaining quantity of ink in the ink cartridge. The printer's control device receives the detection result together with the detection condition from the ink cartridge, and cheeks if detection was carried out under the specified detection condition, validate the detection result.
