    摘要: A printhead with a printhead die, an ink manifold and heat sink substrate has a continuous sealing surface surrounding the printhead die which is formed by the ink manifold, heat sink substrate and filler material disposed therebetween. The filler material acts as caulking to eliminate gaps around the printhead die, particularly between the ink manifold and heat sink substrate, and to provide a smooth surface for abutment with a capping member. A fluid-tight seal is obtained between the capping member and the continuous sealing surface on the printhead, thus preventing the drying out of ink in the nozzles through evaporation of volatile ink components. In some priming nozzle configurations, the leaktight seal also facilitates priming of the printhead.

    摘要: An efficient fluid filtering device is provided for filtering unwanted contaminants from flowing fluid, such as ink flowing into an ink jet printhead. The efficient fluid filtering device includes a generally flat member having a first side and a second side, and a series of fluid flow holes formed through the flat member from the first side to the second side. Importantly, the efficient fluid filtering device also has a series of pillar members, including pillar members defining a trough portion around each fluid flow hole. The pillar members and the trough portions are arranged around each hole so as to efficiently prevent bubbles and contaminants in flowing fluid from impeding fluid flow from the first side through to the second side.

    摘要: Operating an ultrasonic transmitter and receiver includes providing a MEMS composite transducer. The MEMS composite transducer includes a substrate. Portions of the substrate define an outer boundary of a cavity. A first MEMS transducing member includes a first size. A first portion of the first MEMS transducing member is anchored to the substrate. A second portion of the first MEMS transducing member extends over at least a portion of the cavity and is free to move relative to the cavity. A second MEMS transducing member includes a second size smaller than the first size of the first MEMS transducing member. A first portion of the second MEMS transducing member is anchored to the substrate. A second portion of the second MEMS transducing member extends over at least a portion of the cavity and is free to move relative to the cavity. A compliant membrane is positioned in contact with the first and second MEMS transducing members. A first portion of the compliant membrane covers the first and second MEMS transducing members. A second portion of the compliant membrane is anchored to the substrate. Electrical pulses are sent to the first MEMS transducing member which causes the first MEMS transducing member and the compliant membrane to vibrate. The vibrations of the first MEMS transducing member and the compliant membrane are transmitted to an object. Echo signals are received from the object. The received echo signals are converted into electrical signals by the second MEMS transducing member.
