Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080211874Photonically Activated Fluid Ejector Apparatus And Methods - A fluid ejector head, including a fluid ejector disposed on an ejector support, and a semiconductive junction photo sensor electrically coupled to the fluid ejector. The fluid ejector head also includes a photon source photonically coupled only to the semiconductive junction photo sensor. Photons emitted from the photon source interact with the semiconductive junction photo sensor and generate an activation signal. The activation signal in turn activates the fluid ejector ejecting a fluid away from the fluid ejector.09-04-2008

20080259112Printing device having supply of colorant that is non-refillable and at least substantially non-removable from end user perspective - A printing device includes a supply of colorant that is non-refillable from an end user perspective and that is at least substantially non-removable from the printing device from the end user perspective. The printing device also includes an inkjet printhead that forms images on media using the supply of colorant.10-23-2008
20090033722Piezoelectric actuation mechanism - Embodiments of the present disclosure are disclosed.02-05-2009
20090109262FLUID EJECTION DEVICE - A fluid ejection device includes a fluid chamber having a first sidewall and a second sidewall, a flexible membrane extended over the fluid chamber and supported at an end of the first sidewall and an end of the second sidewall, an actuator provided on the flexible membrane, a first gap provided between the flexible membrane and the end of the first sidewall, and a second gap provided between the flexible membrane and the end of the second sidewall, and compliant material provided within the first gap and within the second gap. As such, the actuator is adapted to deflect the flexible membrane relative to the fluid chamber.04-30-2009
20110050808PIEZOELECTRIC PRINTHEAD AND RELATED METHODS - A piezoelectric printhead and related methods provide a first metallic electrode and a second metallic electrode deposited over a top surface and a bottom surface, respectively, of a piezoceramic plate. The second electrode is segmented into a plurality of electrode segments. A diaphragm is positioned over a plurality of pressure chambers, where the diaphragm includes a conductor positioned over each chamber. The piezoceramic plate is attached to the diaphragm such that each conductor on the diaphragm faces multiple electrode segments.03-03-2011
20110102516Printhead unit - Piezoelectric unit, comprising a fluid chamber, a fluid outlet, an actuator, comprising a thin film piezoceramic element and a membrane, acting as a wall of the fluid chamber, and a support element arranged for preventing a supported portion of the actuator from movement in a main direction of actuation movement of the actuator, while allowing such actuation movement on at least two sides of the supported portion, wherein the support element is connected to a unit portion that extends approximately opposite to the actuator.05-05-2011

20080266358Photonically Activated Fluid Dispensing System And Methods - A fluid dispensing system, including a photon source disposed on a moveable carriage and a fluid ejector array having a plurality of fluid ejection elements disposed on a substrate. Each fluid ejection element includes a fluid ejector, and a photodetector electrically coupled to the fluid ejector. Moving said photon source over at least a portion of the fluid ejector array, selectively illuminates the photodetectors, thereby selectively activating the fluid ejectors coupled to the illuminated photodetectors.10-30-2008
