A force sensor particularly suited for use in an electronic stylus that senses the contact force on its nib for recording pen strokes and handwriting recognition. The sensor has a housing for a load bearing member for receiving an input force to be sensed and associated circuitry for converting the input force into an output signal indicative of the input force. The bearing member is movably mounted within the elongate body (up to 100 microns). The input force acting on the load bearing member is caused by contact on the nib. The load bearing member is biased against the direction of the input force.The force sensor also has a light source and photo-detector for sensing levels of illumination from the light source. Associated circuitry converts a range of illumination levels sensed by the photo-detector into a range of output signals, so that the illumination level sensed by the photo-detector varies with movement of the load bearing member within the elongate body such that the output signal from the circuitry is indicative of the input force. Using an optical sensor avoids the need to use a delicate piezo-resistive sensor that requires careful tolerancing during production.

The sensor has a housing for a load bearing member for receiving an input force to be sensed and associated circuitry for converting the input force into an output signal indicative of the input force. A coupling transmits the input force to the load bearing member. The coupling has an inner section for transmitting the input force to the load bearing member, an outer section for receiving an applied contact force and a collapsible section for allowing the outer section to move relative to the inner section when the contact force exceeds a threshold. This protects the force sensor from damage by sharp impact loads such as dropping the stylus on its nib.

This relates to an intelligent ink cartridge and method for manufacturing the same. The ink cartridge comprises at least one ink chamber for containing ink, an electronics module for storing identification information of the ink cartridge and ink remaining data. The electronics module comprises a micro-controller with embedded non-volatile memory, for storage, controlling, calculation and accessing of ink remaining data, so that the maximum ink capacity of the ink cartridge for use with the printer can be improved.

The invention relates generally to the field of inkjet recording media and inkjet printing methods. More specifically, the invention relates to a porous base layer of an inkjet recording element, the base layer comprising precipitated calcium carbonate having scalenohedral morphology.

A cartridge assembly includes a plurality of ink cartridges each having a cartridge case that holds ink therein, and at least one connecting member that connects the plurality of ink cartridges together in a connection direction. The ink cartridges connected by the at least one connecting member are movable relative to each other in the connection direction of the ink cartridges.

The invention relates to an ink box which comprises a shell provided with a front wall, a top wall and a bottom wall, an ink outlet form in the lower portion of the front wall, a first shielding part arranged on the upper portion of the front wall, a second shielding part arranged on the outer side of the middle of the front wall, a light transmitting part arranged between the second shielding part and the front wall, a third shielding part arranged on the shell and located on the inner side of the middle of the front wall, and a chip arranged on the outer surface of the shell. The chip comprises a storage storing ink surplus information and a communication part used for being communicated with a printer mainboard. The ink box has the advantages that the structure is simple, ink volume is high, and the shell is easy to process.

A casing (9, 10) for a cartridge (5) which is adapted for supplying print media (12) and an ink to an inkjet printhead with which the cartridge (5) is engaged, the casing (9, 10) including: a core (6) rotatably mounted inside the casing (9, 10) which is adapted to support a roll of print media (12); an ink supply inside the core (6); and at least one ink outlet at one end of the core (6) for establishing fluid communication between the ink supply and the printhead.

The present invention provides an ink cartridge recovery method and a recovery ink cartridge. The ink cartridge comprises: a casing and an ink storage chamber located in the casing. The ink storage chamber includes a first sub-chamber and a second sub-chamber. The first negative pressure control mechanism, the housing is provided with an ink outlet at a position corresponding to the first sub-chamber, the ink outlet communicates with the first sub-chamber, and the ink cartridge recovery method includes: connecting the housing with the first sub-chamber An opening is opened at a corresponding position; the first negative pressure control mechanism is moved into the second sub-chamber; the second negative pressure control mechanism is arranged in the first sub-chamber through the opening; and the opening is sealed and packaged. The first negative pressure control mechanism and the second negative pressure control mechanism are used together to store ink and increase the capacity of the ink cartridge. At the same time, the new second negative pressure control mechanism in the first sub-chamber corresponding to the ink outlet has a stronger Adsorption force and control force ensure that the ink can still be kept in the ink storage chamber after expanding the ink capacity, avoiding ink leakage and improving the performance of the ink cartridge.
