Latest Patents
Stephen Liker holds a patent for "Methods and apparatus for preventing clogging in ink jet printers." This patent addresses the common issue of ink clogging in impulse ink jet printers. The invention includes at least one nozzle for ejecting ink droplets in response to a sequence of control signals. The control means unit generates and applies this sequence to the nozzle while controlling the amplitude of the control signals. The preferred methods involve generating a plurality of mutually asynchronous firing signals on demand, which effectively eject droplets of ink. Additionally, the control unit generates mutually synchronous sub-firing signals after a predetermined interval, which prevent clogging without ejecting ink droplets.
