摘要： A method of determining the state of a printhead/cartridge in a thermal inkjet printer. An inkjet printhead undergoes a jetting operation in which a jetting frequency is selected and a corresponding steady state printhead temperature is known. The printhead is heated to the steady state temperature. Then the printhead is jetted with all nozzles for a predetermined period of time. Temperature samples from the printhead are obtained and the change in the printhead temperature for a short period of time is used to determine a slope in the temperature change. From the slope of printhead temperature changes, the ink flow rate through the printhead can be determined. The flow rate of ink through the printhead can be used to determine the various states of the printhead, including out of ink, clogged, deprimed, a taped printhead, etc.

摘要： A master/slave data communication system in which a master device communicates with the slave devices by uniquely addressing each of the slave devices. In order to enhance the security of the data communication system, each slave device includes an address generator for generating unique addresses. Periodically, the master device requests that one or more slave device change its address. In response to the request, the addressed slave device increments its address generating algorithm to provide a new slave address. The master device also includes an algorithm that is synchronized with the slave address generating algorithm, whereby when the slave changes its address, it need not transmit the new slave address to the master device over the bus.

摘要： A method and apparatus for configuring an electronics device. The method includes receiving, by the electronics device, a request for a command to perform a predetermined operation by the electronics device and sending the command in response to receiving the request. The electronics device then receives a signature based upon the command, whereupon the electronics device verifies the signature by the electronics device and, following an affirmative verification, executes the command for performing the predetermined operation. In this way, the electronics device may be reconfigured remotely without knowledge of the particular command for performing the predetermined operation by the electronics device.

摘要： An improved data acquisition system interface provides virtually constant sampling of input signals and provides those signals in a digitized format to a data acquisition unit that may not be able to sample at a constant rate without missing or “losing” some of the samples. The present invention acts as a front end interface that temporarily latches the sampled data, expands the data into multiple parallel signals, then stores the multiple parallel signals in a dual-port FIFO memory unit. Finally, the multiple parallel signals are transferred into the data acquisition unit at a lower frequency, and the transfer operations take place only when the data acquisition unit is ready to accept data. Since the front end misses no sampling intervals (i.e., it always takes a sample according to an extremely constant frequency crystal clock), then the data acquisition unit will be provided with all of these samples without losing any data. The only requirement is that the data throughput of the multiple parallel signals into the data acquisition unit be greater than or equal to the data sampling rate of the original signal at the front end. The present invention can be used with pure digital signals to capture their precise times of logic state transitions, or with serial data signals in which the precise moments of transition can be used to decipher the serial data. Moreover, the interface can be used with analog signals that are digitized using an analog-to-digital converter.
摘要翻译：改进的数据采集系统接口实际上提供输入信号的实际恒定采样，并将数字化格式的那些信号提供给数据采集单元，该数据采集单元可能无法以恒定速率进行采样而不丢失或“丢失”某些采样。本发明用作临时锁存采样数据的前端接口，将数据扩展成多个并行信号，然后将多个并行信号存储在双端口FIFO存储器单元中。最后，多个并行信号以较低的频率被传送到数据采集单元中，并且传输操作仅在数据采集单元准备好接收数据时进行。由于前端没有错误的采样间隔（即，它总是根据非常恒定的频率晶体时钟采样），所以数据采集单元将被提供所有这些采样而不丢失任何数据。唯一的要求是数据采集单元中的多个并行信号的数据吞吐量大于或等于前端原始信号的数据采样率。本发明可以与纯数字信号一起使用以捕获它们的逻辑状态转换的精确时间，或者利用串行数据信号，其中可以使用精确转换时刻来解码串行数据。此外，该接口可以与使用模拟 - 数字转换器数字化的模拟信号一起使用。
