    Abstract: A fluid ejection and circulation apparatus may include a fluid ejection device, a filter to filter fluid supplied to the fluid ejection device and a pressure regulator. The pressure regulator may include a fluid chamber having a fluid port and a first port extending from the fluid chamber to the filter. The pressure regulator may further include a valve to open and close the fluid port and a compliant chamber within the fluid chamber. The compliant chamber is to undergo different inflation levels in response to fluid chamber pressure. The valve is to open and close the fluid port in response to changes in an inflation level of the compliant chamber. The fluid chamber comprises a second port cooperating with the first port to form a circulation path through the fluid chamber that is directed away from the filter.

    Abstract: The subject matter discloses a fluid cartridge comprising a container to hold a predetermined volume of fluid, and a lid for closing the container. The lid comprises a valve-recess and an inlet valve in the valve-recess to transfer a volume of a replacement fluid in the container for replacing depleted volume of fluid in the container. A rocker valve is pivoted in the valve-recess to cover the inlet valve during a regulation phase. The rocker valve is to open the inlet valve during an actuation phase to allow the replacement fluid to enter the container. A spring element is movably disposed on the rocker valve to control actuation of the rocker valve for opening and closing the inlet valve. The spring element slides across the rocker valve, from a regulation zone of the rocker valve to an actuation zone of the rocker valve, to open the inlet valve.
