| 20100133343 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PSEUDO BAR CODE GENERATION - A system, method and computer program product for processing bar codes at point-of-sale (POS) terminals, including a bar code reader or scanner for determining a bar code of an item; a pseudo bar code generator coupled to the bar code reader or scanner and that generates a pseudo bar code based on a received trigger signal; and a POS terminal coupled to the pseudo bar code generator. If the trigger signal is not received, the pseudo bar code generator sends to the POS terminal a bar code determined by the bar code reader or scanner. If the trigger signal is received, the pseudo bar code generator, based on the trigger signal, generates and sends a pseudo bar code the POS terminal. The POS terminal generates a sales slip based on bar codes from the bar code reader or scanner, and pseudo bar codes from the pseudo bar code generator. | 06-03-2010 |

| 20110175959 | THERMAL FLUID-EJECTION DEVICE DIE - A die for a thermal drop-on-demand fluid-ejection device includes thermal firing resistors, low-side switches, and high-side switches. The thermal firing resistors are organized over resistor groups such that each thermal firing resistor is located within only one of the resistor groups. The resistor groups are lesser in number than the thermal firing resistors. Each thermal firing resistor has a first end and a second end. The low-side switches are equal in number to the thermal firing resistors. Each low-side switch connects the second end of a corresponding thermal firing resistor to a low voltage. The high-side switches are equal in number to the resistor groups. Each high-side switch connects the first ends of the thermal firing resistors of a corresponding resistor group to power providing a voltage greater than the low voltage. | 07-21-2011 |
