摘要： A novel polymeric orifice plate for a printhead. The plate includes a recess in the top surface thereof which terminates at a position between the top and bottom plate surfaces. The recess communicates with a bore which passes through the remainder of the plate and terminates at the bottom surface. The recess has an upper end with a first opening therein, a lower end with a second opening therein, a side wall, and a bottom wall at the lower end The first opening is larger than the second opening. Application of physical force to the plate does not disturb the second opening in the recess which is “inset”. The recessed bottom wall (and possibly the top surface) of the plate may include at least one layer of coating material thereon for protective, wettability-control, and other purposes. These designs insure proper ink drop trajectory and high-quality image generation.

摘要： A novel polymeric orifice plate for a printhead. The plate includes a recess in the top surface thereof which terminates at a position between the top and bottom plate surfaces. The recess communicates with a bore which passes through the remainder of the plate and terminates at the bottom surface thereof. The recess has an upper end with a first opening therein, a lower end with a second opening therein, and a side wall which is preferably oriented at a right angle relative to the top surface of the plate. The recess may also have a bottom wall at the lower end. The first opening is larger than the second opening. The application of physical force to the plate does not disturb the second opening in the recess which is "inset" and protected. This design insures proper ink drop trajectory and the generation of high-quality printed images.

摘要： A high-durability printhead for an ink cartridge printing system includes a substrate having ink ejectors (e.g. resistors) thereon and an orifice plate positioned above the substrate. The orifice plate (which preferably involves a non-metallic polymer film) has a top surface, bottom surface and a plurality of openings therethrough. To improve the durability of the orifice plate, a protective coating is applied to the top surface and/or the bottom surface of the plate. Representative coatings involve dielectric compositions (including diamond-like carbon) or at least one layer of metal. This approach improves the abrasion and deformation resistance of the plate and avoids "dimpling" problems. Likewise, an intermediate barrier layer of diamond-like carbon is used between the orifice plate and the substrate. As result, an additional level of structural integrity is imparted to the orifice plate and printhead.

摘要： Determining a displacement of a substantially rigid item relative to a frame of reference between a first time and a second time is described. At the first time, a first set of pointwise measurements of a physical property of the item taken at a plurality of fixed locations relative to the frame of reference is acquired. At the second time, a second set of pointwise measurements of the physical property taken at the plurality of fixed locations is acquired. A first matrix derived from the first set of pointwise measurements is compared to a second matrix derived from the second set of pointwise measurements to determine the displacement.

摘要： The present invention provides an improved inkjet printhead assembly adapted to reduce and/or withstand the collapse of ink back into the firing chambers. In one embodiment, the printhead assembly includes one or more firing chambers disposed on a porous substrate. An ink supply is connected to the substrate so that ink is allowed to flow through the pores of the substrate from the ink supply to the firing chamber. Thus, a substantial amount of the energy created by the impact of ink collapsing back into the firing chamber is expended within the pores of the substrate. In another embodiment, one or more firing resistors are formed in each firing chamber, and disposed adjacent the periphery of the firing chamber out of the direct impact path of collapsing ink.
