摘要： Power is provided from one portion of a printer, such as a printer electronics module, to another portion of the printer, such as a printhead. Logic signals produced in a first electronic module of the printer are transmitted to a second electronics module of the printer. A power signal is derived from the logic signals without interfering with the magnitude or duration of logic signals, and the logic power signal is applied to power the second electronic module without having a separate dedicated power line.

摘要： A micro-fluid ejecting device includes a semiconductor substrate, a plurality of fluid ejection elements formed on the semiconductor substrate, and a plurality of nonvolatile programmable memory devices for storing information related to the operation of the micro-fluid ejecting device. The programmable memory devices, which are at least partially embedded in the semiconductor substrate, each include a source region and a drain region formed in the semiconductor substrate. The source and drain regions have a conductivity type which is opposite the conductivity type of the semiconductor substrate. An insulative layer is formed on the semiconductor substrate over the source region and drain region. A floating gate region is formed on the insulative layer and is spatially disposed between the source region and drain region. The floating gate region is electrically insulated from the source and drain regions by the insulative layer. Electrical contacts are connected to the source region and the drain region. The programmable memory devices collectively provide a high density of memory bits embedded on the substrate for storing information about the micro-fluid ejecting device.

摘要： An ink jet printer includes a printhead control circuit that produces printhead command signals based on data signals provided by the printer. A power circuit actuates ink ejectors in response to the printhead command signals and includes a plurality of compensation circuits. Each ink ejector is associated with a single compensation circuit and each compensation circuit includes a number of switches connected in parallel with each other. Each switch in a single compensation circuit is connected to actuate a single ink ejector when the switch is turned on. The compensation circuits adjust their internal resistance by turning on more or less switches and thereby compensate for changing effective parasitic resistance of the power lines.

摘要： An inkjet printhead heater chip has an ink via asymmetrically arranged in a reciprocating direction of inkjet printhead movement. The ink via has two sides and a longitudinal extent substantially parallel to a print medium advance direction. A column of fluid firing elements exists exclusively along a single side of the two sides. The heater chip and ink via each have a centroid and neither resides coincidentally with one another. Preferably, the heater chip centroid resides externally to a boundary of the ink via. In other aspects, the column of fluid firing elements can be a sole column or plural and may be centered in the reciprocating direction. The ink via can be a sole via or plural. The heater chip can be rectangular and the ink vias can be closer to either the long or short ends thereof. Inkjet printers for housing the printheads are also disclosed.
