International Classification:

B41J 2165

US Classification:

347 23, 347 19

Abstract:

An inkjet printing device for printing plots comprises a printhead, which has a plurality of nozzles each nozzle having at least a working status and a failing status, a servicing unit capable of applying recovery functions to said plurality of nozzles, detection means for checking if a nozzles is in a working status or in a failing status, memory means and a plurality of functions executable by said device to improve image quality. Said memory means, responsive to said detection means, contains data on how the status of a nozzle is varying over time. Said device further comprises means to select and execute at least one of said plurality of functions, responsive to the data stored in said memory means. A method of improving image quality on plots produced by said device said method comprising the steps of: checking the status of one or more nozzles; storing in a memory support the status of a checked nozzle as detected during said checking step; and based on a plurality of said statuses stored over time in said memory support, performing an appropriate function form said variety for improving the image quality.

International Classification:

B41J 2/165

US Classification:

347 23, 347 22

Abstract:

A technique for servicing an inkjet printhead on an inkjet printer including a first service module. The technique includes identifying a printhead-related service condition not adequately addressed by servicing the printer with the first service module, providing a second service module different from the first service module and adapted to address the printhead-related service condition. A set of instructions can be provided for using the second service module with the inkjet printer. The technique can further include removing the first service module from the printer, installing the second service module in the printer, and using the set of instructions, conducting a special printer servicing operation. After completion of the special printer servicing operation, the second service module can be removed from the printer, and the first service module reinstalled in the printer in place of the second service module.

International Classification:

G06F015/16

US Classification:

709/234000

Abstract:

A device for controlling the flow of command messages in a network in order to alleviate full queue situations that may result in an overrun of commands. The device comprises a counter circuit for determining the number of buffers available in the command queue and a control circuit for controlling the flow of command frames. The control circuit includes a first and second means for storing and is responsive to a status of the command queue and control logic.

International Classification:

G06F 16/23

Abstract:

In a distributed system where a client's call to commit a transaction occurs outside the transaction's lock-hold interval, computation of timestamp information for the transaction is moved to a client library, while ensuring that no conflicting reads or writes are performed between a time of the computation and acquiring all locks for the transaction. The transaction is committed in phases, with each phase being initiated by the client library. Timestamp information is added to the locks to ensure that timestamps are generated during lock-hold intervals. An increased number of network messages is thereby overlapped with a commit wait period in which a write in a distributed database is delayed in time to ensure concurrency in the database.
