A step up from the traditional Punch.
Using Cuban-seed tobaccos from Nicaragua, Honduras and the Dominican, and robust sun-grown wrappers, the Punch Deluxe cigar is an amped up version of the standard punch line. Rich in earthy, cedar-like undertones, Punch Deluxe is a medium to full-bodied cigar that's complex and satisfying.
"The (Punch Deluxe) is the best cigar I've ever smoked, and I've smoked thousands. I buy a box or two of these and a few dozen boxes of other brands evry year. Each time I torch off one of these, usually well into a summer evening beneath the stars, I'm left wondering why I buy anything else. Enjoy."
"I could tell it would be an outstanding cigar from the mere looks and feel of it. The size was another plus no less, and I was not disappointed by any means. Much more mature than overpowering bodied and consistent to perfection. And thanks to CI, neither am I disappointed in picking up a huge 10pk for a super great price."
"I guess cigar makers/rollers/tobacco growers etc. must change their recipe for making a particular cigar over a period of years because the last Chateau L I smoked (probably in early to mid '90's) sure seemed to be MUCH fuller bodied-full flavored. It was the double maduro type and I remember saving out some paycheck dough every two weeks just to buy a half dozen. The one I had just this summer was truly plain and quite "bundle cigar" tasting...sad deal."
"Fresh and tasty, fine selection. A little stronger than I'm used to but I settled right in and by the end of the box was enjoying every puff."

Facebook reportedly wants to deliver your news with Paper
If there aren't already enough ways to get news focussed content on the web and our mobile devices, it looks like Facebook might be set to get into the space as well. According to re/code, Paper is Facebook's answer to Flipboard, and it could be with us as soon as this month.
The product is known as "Paper," according to a source familiar with the matter, and it is similar to Flipboard, a buzzy mobile-focused news reading app. Paper looks to be either a standalone mobile application or a Web experience suited to mobile devices, according to this person. Facebook could launch the app before the end of January, this person said, though the timetable could change.
News content, with updates from your Facebook timeline thrown in for good measure. The question isn't so much what, but why?

Facebook reportedly wants to deliver your news with Paper
But why should we use it. Making money for Facebook isn't what I meant...
For example. Why would I want to be reading my morning news and then see that an old school friend got a new dog?
If it is good, sure, I'd try it. Surfacing news for quick access is a good goal. If they do it well I'd use it. Yahoo Digest is currently what I'm using and I like it quite a bit.
The problem for me is that if I take News Feed as an example of what Facebook can do I don't see how I can trust them for news. I end up seeing posts from last year or memes from people I don't talk to over posts from local organizations that I "Like." I don't have much faith in that service.
Wow! I guess this is a good thing. I haven't used Facebook in over 6 Months.

A color ink jet printer having a replaceable printhead assembly with a plurality of replaceable ink tanks, one ink tank for each color of ink, senses a patch on each ink tank. The presence of the patch indicates the ink tank is new. In one embodiment, the patch is adhered over a recess in each of the tanks and is punctured by a pin which is triggered as soon as the patch is detected, so that the patch cannot be detected again. The energization of each group of heating elements associated with a respective ink tank is counted and stored in the printer memory and, as each energization results in the ejection of an ink droplet of known volume, a predetermined number of energizations, which represent the volume of usable ink in each ink tank, is stored in the memory. When this predetermined number of energizations is reached, an out-of-ink display is shown to the user. If a new ink tank is detected before the ink in the previously installed ink tank is depleted, the printer controller resets the energization count to zero. In another embodiment, the patch is a bar code identifying each ink tank, so that if it is removed before being depleted of ink and re-installed after a different ink tank has been used, the count at the time of replacement is maintained in memory and the count is resumed when the ink tank is re-installed and the bar code is sensed.
1. A color ink jet printer having a replaceable printhead assembly with a plurality of replaceable ink tanks mounted on a movable carriage for reciprocation of the printhead assembly along a path across and parallel to a confronting printing medium, each ink tank containing a different color of ink therein, and means for monitoring the amount of ink in the ink tanks, comprising:
a replaceable printhead assembly having a printhead with a plurality of groups of nozzles, each nozzle in each group being in fluid communication with an associated reservoir for that group of nozzles by a separate ink channel, each reservoir connecting to a replaceable ink tank installed on said printhead assembly, each ink channel having a heating element located therein adjacent the nozzle for the respective ink channel;
means for selectively energizing each heating element, each energization of a heating element ejecting an ink droplet having a predetermined volume of ink, so that each energization of the heating element represents the volume of one ink droplet;
a printer controller having a memory for storing a number of heating element energizations which represent the volume of ink contained in each ink tank;
means for counting and accumulatively storing the number of energizations of each group of heating elements associated with a respective one of the ink tanks in the memory; and
means for sensing and determining whether an installed ink tank has been replaced prior to depletion of the ink therein, wherein the means for sensing and determining is a sensor station positioned adjacent said path of said carriage for detecting a patch on each ink tank.
2. The printer as claimed in claim 1, wherein the sensor station comprises a reflective sensor having a source of light for directing light towards said carriage path, so that the light impinges on the patches of the ink, tanks as the carriage passes said light, and a photodetector positioned to detect light reflected from each of said patches, any reflected light detected by said photodetector being indicative of a new replaceable ink tank installed on the printhead assembly.
3. The printer as claimed in claim 2, wherein the printer further comprises a recess in each ink tank that is covered by a one of said patches; and wherein the printer further comprises a mechanism capable of selectively altering said patches, so that subsequent sensing by the reflective sensor will not detect a patch confirming that the ink tank installed on the printhead assembly is not a new ink tank.
4. The printer as claimed in claim 2, wherein the printer further comprises a recess in each ink tank that is covered by a one of said patches; and wherein a movable pin for puncturing the patch detected by said photodetector, so that subsequent sensing by the reflective sensor will not detect a patch confirming that the ink tank installed on the printhead assembly is not a new ink tank.
5. The printer as claimed in claim 4, wherein the printer further comprises a display panel and means for displaying an out-of-ink display on said panel when the number of energizations of the group of heating elements associated with a respective ink tank has been reached and the reflective sensor did not detect a new tank.
6. The printer as claimed in claim 5, wherein the means for counting and accumulatively storing the number of energizations of each group of heating elements associated with its respective ink tank resets the stored number of energizations to zero when a new tank is detected prior to being depleted of ink.
The invention relates to ink jet printing devices and more particularly to ink jet printers using a replaceable printhead assembly with replaceable ink tanks and a monitoring system to record and display an out of ink condition for an ink tank depleted of ink. The monitoring system monitors the volume of ink remaining in the ink tank by accumulatively counting the droplets ejected and comparing the counted droplets to the predetermined number representative of the total ink volume in the ink tank. When an ink tank has been replaced before it has been depleted of ink by a new ink tank, the monitoring system detects the replacement and resets the accumulative droplet count to zero.
For the convenience of the users or customers of ink jet printers, customer replaceable printheads are used which may be removed and replaced by the customer when the printhead's design lifetime has expired. The customer replaceable printheads also use customer replaceable ink supply tanks or cartridges, and each printhead may deplete ink from many ink tanks before reaching the end of its design lifetime. For existing multicolor ink jet printheads, it is not uncommon for the printhead to deplete the ink from as many as ten ink tanks for each color of ink, for example, yellow, magenta, cyan, and black, before reaching the end of the printhead lifetime. It is known that the droplet-ejecting heating elements of thermal ink jet printheads have a lifetime determined by the number of times the heating elements are pulsed with an electrical signal and that a printer controller can determine the lifetime status of the printhead by accumulatively counting the number of times the heating elements are pulsed. It is also known that the ink volume remaining in the ink tanks can be determined by counting the number of ink droplets that have been ejected and replenished from a particular ink tank, because the volume of each ink droplet is substantially the same.
A problem of determining the available ink for a printhead is encountered when an ink tank is removed prior to ink depletion and a new ink tank installed, unless there is an optical low ink sensing system, which is expensive if not complex. In this situation, the printer counts the ink droplets until the predetermined number representing a depleted ink tank is reached and the printer thinks the ink tank is empty when in fact the ink tank still has usable ink. To prevent printhead damage caused by energizing heating elements in channels without ink, the printer controller stops the printer from printing until a new ink tank replaces the ink tank that the printer thinks is empty. Therefore, an ink tank with some ink still therein, must be removed and replaced by a new ink tank. This invention is directed to a cost effective way for the printer controller to monitor and keep track of the amount of ink remaining in the ink tank presently installed in the printer.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,961,088-A discloses a system for monitoring customer replaceable cartridges in printers or copiers. Each replaceable cartridge includes an electrically erasable programmable read only memory (EEPROM) which is programmed with a cartridge identification number that when matched a cartridge identification number in the printer or copier enables the printer or copier to operate, provides a cartridge replacement warning count, and provides a termination count at which the cartridge is disabled from further use. The EEPROM is programmed to store updated counts of the remaining number of images or prints available by the cartridge after each print or copy is made by the printer or copier.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,021,828-A discloses a replaceable unit for use in a copier or printer in which initial use and near-end-of-life is recorded by electrical means, including a portion itself removable from the removable, comprising two fuses. A first fuse is blown when a few copies have been made with the replaceable unit, and the second fuse is used to prevent further use of the replaceable unit when a certain number of copies or prints have been made with the replaceable unit.
U.S. 5,283,613-A discloses a monitoring system for replaceable cartridges in a printer or copier, including an electronic count memory and an electronic flag memory. The count memory maintains a one-by-one count of prints made with the cartridge. The flag memory includes a series of bits which are alterable from a first state to a second state but not alterable from the second state to the first state. The bits in the flag memory are altered at predetermined intervals as prints are made with the cartridge. The flag memory is used as a check to override unauthorized manipulation of the count memory.
U.S. 5,365,312-A discloses replaceable ink reservoirs, ribbon cassettes, or toner cartridges having an electronic memory means in the form of a chip in which information is stored about the current fill status of the reservoir and other status data that are relevant for printer operation. The used status of the ink or other printing medium is acquired from the controller of the printing machine and is communicated to the chip. The chip on the reservoirs counts consumption until the supply is exhausted to such an extent the reservoir must be replaced. A reprogramming of the chip and refilling of the reservoir is not possible.
U.S. Ser. No. 08/941,910 filed Oct. 1, 1997 and entitled "Printhead Assembly With Integral Lifetime Monitoring System" to Walter F. Wafler discloses an ink jet printer having a customer replaceable printhead assembly with a usage monitoring system which detects and displays the remaining available use or lifetime for the printhead assembly installed in the printer. The droplet ejecting electrical pulses applied to selected heating elements of the printhead in the printhead assembly are counted and compared with the number of pulses assigned to a set of permanently inactivable or changeable cell sites integral with the printhead assembly. Each time the number of counted pulses are equal to the value assigned for a cell site, the cell site is addressed to change its state from active to inactive. The remaining active cell sites are representative of the percent of remaining available use for the installed printhead assembly, and this percentage is displayed for the convenience of the customer. Because the cell sites are permanently changed, the supplier can also determine the amount of use of the printhead assembly when warranty claims are submitted.
It is an object of the present invention to monitor the available ink in a replaceable ink supply tank for an ink jet printer by accumulatively counting ejected ink droplets which are replenished therefrom and detect the replacement of an ink tank prior to depletion of the ink therein. If the same ink supply tank is installed, the count continues, if a new ink supply tank is installed the count is reset to zero and the new tank is identified as no longer a new tank.
In one aspect of the invention, there is provided a color ink jet printer having a replaceable printhead assembly with a plurality of replaceable ink tanks mounted on a movable carriage for reciprocation of the printhead assembly along a path across and parallel to a confronting printing medium, each ink tank containing a different color of ink therein, and means for monitoring the amount of ink in the ink tanks, comprising: a replaceable printhead assembly having a printhead with a plurality of groups of nozzles, each nozzle in each group being in fluid communication with an associated reservoir for that group of nozzles by a separate ink channel, each reservoir connecting to a replaceable ink tank installed on said printhead assembly, each ink channel having a heating element located therein adjacent the nozzle for the respective ink channel; means for selectively energizing each heating element, each energization of a heating element ejecting an ink droplet having a predetermined volume of ink, so that each energization of the heating element represents the volume of one ink droplet; a printer controller having a memory for storing a number of heating element energizations which represent the volume of ink contained in each ink tank; means for counting and accumulatively storing the number of energizations of each group of heating elements associated with a respective one of the ink tanks in the memory; and means for sensing and determining whether an installed ink tank has been replaced prior to depletion of the ink therein.
The present invention will now be described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference numerals refer to like elements and in which:
FIG. 1 is an isometric view of a carriage type multicolor ink jet printer having a customer replaceable printhead assembly and separate customer replaceable ink supply tanks which incorporate the ink monitoring system of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a partially exploded isometric view of the customer replaceable printhead assembly and ink tanks shown in FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a partially shown plan view of an electrical diagram of an ink jet printer having the ink monitoring system of the present invention;
FIG. 4 is a partially shown cross-sectional view of the reflective sensor of the present invention as viewed along view line 4—4 in FIG. 1;
FIG. 5 is an end view of an ink tank showing a partially removed portion of the reflective material covering a recess in the ink tank;
FIG. 6 is a partially sectioned side elevation view of an ink tank showing the movable pin of FIG. 4 puncturing the reflective material over the ink tank recess; and
FIG. 7 is an end view of an ink tank showing an alternate embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 1 illustrates an isometric view of a carriage type, multicolor thermal ink jet printer 10 having an electronic monitoring system for the customer replaceable printhead assembly 14 and the ink monitoring system 11 of the present invention. The printer is connected to personal computer 39 having a monitor 37 from which data is generated and directed to the printer for hard copies thereof. The printhead assembly includes four customer replaceable ink supply tanks 12 mounted therein. The ink supply tanks may each have a different color of ink, and in the preferred embodiment, the tanks have yellow, magenta, cyan, and black ink. The printhead assembly is installed on a translatable carriage 16 which is supported by carriage guide rails 18 fixedly mounted in frame 20 of the printer. The carriage is translated back and forth along the guide rails by any suitable means (not shown), such as, for example, a timing belt driven by an electrical motor, as is well known in the printer industry. The carriage is under the control of the printer controller 21, shown in FIG. 3. The printing operation by the printer may be initiated from the personal computer or the print start button 33 on the printer. Printer operational status and printing instructions may be obtained from the monitor 37 or the display panel 35 on the printer. Referring also to FIG. 2, the sensing station 11 is located beneath the guide rails 18 and comprises a sensor board 70 which is penetrated by an optical fiber 72, though any light transmissive optical channel may be used. One end of the optical fiber is coupled to a light source (not shown) and the other free end 73 is substantially coplanar with the sensor board and directs a beam of light 71 (FIG. 4) at an angle ⊖ with respect to a line normal to the surface of the sensor board and towards the path of the carriage. In the embodiment shown, the beam of light 71 is directed between the guide rails 18, through openings 74 in the carriage and openings 76 in the printhead assembly housing 15 and onto a reflective foil patch 80 covering a recess 82 in each of the ink tanks 12, as described more fully later. If the foil patch 80 has not been punctured, the beam of light 71 is reflected back to a photodetector or photodiode 84 mounted on the sensor board 70. The photodetector or photodiode is coupled to well known circuitry (not shown) which is connected to the printer controller, so that any signal generated by the photodetector is sent to the controller and this signal identifies a new ink supply tank.
With continued reference to FIG. 2, the printhead assembly 14 comprises a housing 15 having an integral multicolor ink jet printhead 22 and ink pipe connectors 24 which protrude from a floor 17 of the printhead assembly for insertion into the outlet ports 40 of the ink supply tanks 12 when the ink supply tanks are installed in the printhead assembly housing. The protruding ink pipe connectors are usually covered by a wire mesh filter 48 to prevent particles or debris from the ink supply tanks from being carried by the ink into the printhead. Ink flow paths, represented by dashed lines 26, in the housing interconnects each of the ink pipe connectors with the separate inlets (not shown) of the printhead, one inlet for each color. The printhead assembly on which the replaceable ink supply tanks are mounted, includes an interfacing printed circuit board 23 that is connected to the printer controller 21 by ribbon cable 28 (FIG. 1) through which electric signals are selectively applied to the printhead to selectively eject ink droplets from the printhead nozzles 29 (FIG. 3). The printed circuit board 23 also detects that an ink tank is installed and prevents operation of the printer if an ink tank is missing. The multicolor printhead 22 contains a plurality of ink channels 27 with heating elements 44 (see FIG. 3) which carry ink from each of the ink supply tanks to respective groups of ink ejecting nozzles of the printhead.
When printing, the carriage 16 reciprocates back and forth along the guide rails 18 in the direction of arrow 31. As the printhead 22 reciprocates back and forth across a recording medium 30, such as single cut sheets of paper fed from an input stack 32 of sheets, droplets of ink are expelled from selected ones of the printhead nozzles towards the recording medium 30. The nozzles are typically arranged in a linear array perpendicular to the reciprocating direction of arrow 31. During each pass of the carriage 16, the recording medium 30 is held in a stationary position. At the end of each pass, the recording medium is stepped in the direction of arrow 19 for a distance equal to the height of a printed swath. For a more detailed explanation of the printhead and the printing thereby, refer to U.S. Pat. No. 4,571,599-A and U.S. Pat. No. Re 32,572-E, the relevant portions of which are incorporated herein by reference.
A single sheet of recording medium 30 is fed from the input stack 32 through the printer along a path defined by a curved platen 34 and a guide member 36. The sheet is driven along the path by a transport roller 38 as is understood by those skilled in the art or, for instance, as illustrated in U.S. Pat. No. 5,534,902-A, incorporated herein by reference. As the recording medium exits a slot between the platen 34 and guide member 36, the sheet 30 is caused to reverse bow such that the sheet is supported by the platen 34 at a flat portion thereof for printing by the printhead 22.
With continued reference to FIG. 2, ink from each of the ink supply tanks 12 is drawn by capillary action through the outlet port 40 in the ink supply tanks, the ink pipe connectors 24 which extend through the outlet port 40, and ink flow paths 26 in the printhead assembly housing to the printhead 22. The ink pipe connectors and the flow paths of the housing thus supply ink to the ink channels of the printhead, capillarily replenishing the ink after each ink droplet ejection from the nozzle associated with the printhead ink channel. It is important that the ink at the nozzles be maintained at a slightly negative pressure, so that the ink is prevented from dripping onto the recording medium 30, and ensuring that ink droplets are placed on the recording medium only when a droplet is ejected by an electrical signal applied to the heating element in the ink channel for the selected nozzle. A negative pressure also ensures that the size of the ink droplets ejected from the nozzles remain substantially constant as ink is depleted from the ink supply tanks. The negative pressure is usually in the range of −0.5 to −2.0 inches of water. One known method of supplying ink at a negative pressure is to place within the ink supply tanks an open cell foam or needled felt (not shown) in which ink is absorbed and suspended by capillary action. Ink tanks which contain ink holding material are disclosed, for example, in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,185,614-A, 4,771,295-A and 5,486,855-A.
The ink supply tanks 12 for a carriage type ink jet printer 10 comprises a housing 52 of any suitable material, such as, for example, polypropylene, having first and second compartments 62, 64 which are separated by a common wall 63. Ink is stored in the first compartment 62 after introduction therein through ink inlet 61 which is subsequently covered. The second compartment 64 has an open cell foam member (not shown) inserted therein. Ink from the first compartment moves through aperture 65 in the common wall 63 to saturate the foam member with ink. The foam member is inserted into the second compartment through the open bottom thereof, and then the open bottom is covered by a bottom wall 46 of the same material as the housing 52. The bottom wall 46 has the open outlet port 40 and is heat staked to weld it to the housing 52 after the foam member is inserted. One end wall 66 of the ink tank housing 52 contains the recess 82 which is covered by a reflective foil patch 80. When each of the ink tanks 12 is installed in the printhead assembly 14, the foil patch covered recess 82 of each ink tank is aligned over the openings 76 in the printhead assembly housing 15. The replaceable printhead assembly openings 76 are aligned with the openings 74 in the carriage 16, when the printhead assembly 14 is mounted on the carriage. As the carriage 16 reciprocates along the guide rails 18, the carriage travels over the location of the sensor board 70 and light beams 71 are directed onto each of the foil patches 80 through the openings in the carriage and printhead assembly and reflected back to the photodetector or photodiode 84. When the photodetector receives light, it generates a signal and sends it to the printer controller 21 by well known circuitry (not shown).
Also located in the sensor board 70, is a movable pin 78 which is moved towards and through the foil patch 80 by a solenoid 79 to puncture the foil patch, so that it will not reflect the light beams 71 as the carriage subsequently travels past the sensor board. The pin could be actuated by any suitable means and could be located any convenient place along the traverse of the carriage, such as, for example, at a maintenance station. However, in the preferred embodiment it is located in the sensor board 70, which is mounted on a bracket 85 fixedly attached to the printer. The puncturing of the foil patch identifies the ink tank as no longer a new ink tank.
Referring to FIG. 3, a partially shown electrical diagram for the customer replaceable ink jet printhead assembly 14 of the printer in FIG. 1 is depicted. The printhead assembly includes printhead 22 which is similar to the printheads described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,947,192-A and 5,010,355-A, both of which patents are incorporated herein by reference. The heating elements 44, such as described in these two incorporated patents, are located on a silicon substrate 25 of the printhead in capillarily filled ink channels 27 (partially shown in dashed line) a predetermined distance upstream from the channel open ends 29 which serve as the droplet ejecting nozzles. The predetermined distance is about 50 to 100 μm. The common return 43 is formed on the silicon substrate in the region between the nozzles and the heating elements. A voltage of 40 to 60 volts from voltage source 42 is applied to the common return. The heating elements 44 are connected to the common return and driver transistors 45. The heating elements are pulsed with this voltage on the common return through the driver transistors 45 which are in turn connected to the printhead logic circuitry 41. The transistor drains are connected to the heating elements, the transistor gates are connected to the logic circuitry, and the transistor sources are connected to ground. Input data received by the printer controller or microprocessor 21 is processed thereby and, in response thereto, the heating elements are selectively pulsed to eject ink droplets by the driver transistors 45 via the printer controller 21, ribbon cable 28, circuit board 23, and logic circuitry 41 integrally formed on the printhead.
A typical multicolor printhead 22 for a carriage type printer 10 has a linear array of nozzles which are spaced from 300 to 600 per inch or more, In one embodiment, there are 128 nozzles which are grouped 48 for black ink and 24 each for yellow, magenta, and cyan. There are four inactive nozzles between the nozzles for black ink and the adjacent nozzles for the next color ink, and there are two inactive nozzles between each of the nozzles for non-black inks. In FIG. 3, only a few representative nozzles 29 of the 128 nozzles are shown, with the inactive nozzles 47 and associated channels 44 being shown as cross hatched and with their associated driver transistors having their gates not connected to the logic circuitry, as indicated at 49.
When the printhead is printing, a pulse counter 50 is accumulatively counting the pulses applied to each of the heating elements. The number of pulse counts for each heating element is stored in the pulse count memory 51, which is typically a random access memory (RAM). The number of pulses (L) per heating element which has been determined to represent the lifetime thereof is typically about 1�109 pulses. During each printing operation, the number (P) of printing pulses applied to the selected heating elements is counted and stored in the pulse count memory. The stored pulse count P is continually compared to the number of pulses L by the pulse controller 55. If the printing pulses P is less than the number L, the printing pulses are retained in storage for continued accumulative summing with subsequent or continuing printing operations and continued or periodic comparing with the number L. When the printing pulses P are equal to L for any one of the selected heating elements, the pulse controller signals the printer controller and the printer controller displays on the printer display panel 35 or monitor 37 shown in FIG. 1 "order new printhead assembly", and when a predetermined number of pulses are counted above the number L, the printer is disabled until a new printhead assembly is installed.
In addition, the total number of pulses T for each group of heating elements which eject ink droplets of the same color of ink is counted by the pulse counter 50 and stored in the pulse count memory 51. Because the ink droplets have substantially the same volume of ink, about 40 picoliters, the number of droplets Q which are equal to the usable ink in each ink tank, the Q number is stored in the memory 51 and the number T is continually compared to the number Q. When T is equal to Q, the pulse controller 55 signals the printer controller 21 which causes the display panel 35 or monitor 37 to display "out of ink" for the particular ink tank. When a predetermined number of pulses T exceed the number Q, the printer is disabled until a new ink tank is installed.
In the embodiment wherein the ink tanks have the reflective foil patch 80, the ink tanks may be removed and re-installed and the accumulative count of pulses are retained in memory and the counting resumes with the T pulses last stored in memory 51. However, if an ink tank is removed prior to being depleted of ink and a new tank is installed, the foil patch will be detected by the ink monitoring system 11 and the pulse count stored in memory 51 will be reset to zero. A problem is encountered, if a different partially depleted ink tank is installed because it could have more or less ink than the one removed, and the count would be continued as if it were the original partially depleted ink tank. To overcome this scenario, a patch 90 with a bar code identifying each particular ink tank as shown in FIG. 7 replaces the foil patch over a recess that is read by a modified ink monitoring system 11 which stores in the pulse count memory 51 but the pulse counting is done per bar code read. In this way, a partially used ink tank could replace a partially depleted ink tank and the pulse counting would remain accurate.
Accordingly, the user or customer always knows when to replace the printhead assembly 14 and when to replace an ink tank with a new one.
Although the foregoing description illustrates the preferred embodiment, other variations are possible and all such variations as will be obvious to one skilled in the art are intended to be included within the scope of this invention as defined by the following claims.

Who better to recommend a great love story than a romance writer? We asked several popular romance authors to tell us about the best romantic stories they have recently read. They responded, and we compiled their recommendations to help you find your next great read.
Graeme Simsion's The Rosie Project is the big winner here! Both Susan Elizabeth Phillips and Robyn Carr enthusiastically recommend this quirky love story about a geneticist who seeks his perfect mate using a scientific survey, but ends up falling in love with a barmaid who wouldn't pass even the first question. Phillips says that she adores this "funny and touching" novel, and Carr calls it a "brilliant love story, just brilliant." That's high praise from two bestselling authors who know a thing or two about writing a captivating love story.
Tessa Dare recommends Courtney Milan's The Countess Conspiracy. Dare writes, "In Victorian England, Violet, Countess of Cambury, is one of the world's leading experts on the study of inherited traits (genetics). However, since female scientists weren't accepted or taken seriously in that era, Violet's best friend, Sebastian Malheur, has been presenting her theories as his own for years. That is, until the day he refuses to continue the charade and confesses his deeper feelings for Violet, threatening both their friendship and their secret collaboration. Sebastian, the hero, is charming, patient, intelligent and handsome — in short, just about perfect. But it's Violet who truly shines in this book. Romantic love is part of her happy ending, but her triumphs also include career fulfillment and a true sense of her own worth. It's a book that made me laugh, cry and cheer."
Laura Kaye suggests J. Lynn's popular new adult novel Wait for You. Avery Morgansten is a college student running from her past when she meets boy-next-door Cameron Hamilton. They are instantly attracted to each other, but both Avery and Cam have secrets that they must face before their romance can blossom. Kaye says that it's "fun and romantic and full of sexual chemistry. Totally to-die-for hero!" As a bonus, Kaye also highly recommends Diana Gabaldon's Outlander. She praises the series, saying it has "a smart heroine and the most likable hero ever!" The first book in Gabaldon's epic genre-bending series, Outlander it is sure to gain even more fans when the Starz television series premieres this summer.
In The Martian by Andy Weir, the action is cranked all the way up to 11, which is an impressive feat for a story that unfolds over the course of a year and a half. Set in the not-too-distant future, this is the story of NASA's third mission to Mars. A type of routine has set in with these missions to the Red Planet until a freak sandstorm causes NASA to abort the mission and evacuate the planet. As the astronauts prepare to leave the surface, one is struck and thought to be dead, so he is left behind by his crewmates. Knocked unconscious, Mark Watley awakes to find himself in a damaged spacesuit, alone, with no communications and no way to get off the planet. Smart, sarcastic, hard-working, imaginative and more than a little nerdy, Watley is the perfect hero. Left alone with limited supplies, Watley has to find a way to survive and meet his basic needs. Just as he starts to accomplish this, NASA realizes their mistake. As the world turns its attention to the drama unfolding across a sea of stars, Watley is forced to parry every challenge thrown at him by a harsh, unforgiving environment.
The Martian, with its roots in current space history, it is more a work of science "fact-ion" than science fiction. This debut novel by a promising new voice is a celebration of the esprit de corps and professionalism of NASA, as well as a celebration of the human spirit. Weir speaks to the basic human need to risk any danger, no matter the cost, to save another human in distress. The Martian will leave you breathless on its way to a fist-pumping-in-the-air conclusion, perfect for anyone who loved Apollo 13 or Gravity as well as readers of Mary Roach's Packing for Mars.
Fans of mystery writer Maggie Barbieri and her Murder 101 series, rejoice! Her newest mystery, Once Upon a Lie, introduces us to her new series featuring protagonist and baker extraordinaire, Maeve Conlon. Readers will empathize with the family challenges that comprise her waking hours. She has two teenage daughters, one completely wild and the other fixated on achieving in school as her ticket out of their small town, an ex-husband who left her for one of her close "friends" and a cancer surviving best friend/employee with love-life issues. Add to this her dear father, a retired cop with Alzheimer's who resides locally in a nursing home – except for when he manages to escape confinement to take walks along the river. She finds solace in the Comfort Zone, the bakery she owns and loves but which barely provides enough income to pay the bills. Maeve is a kind and compassionate person who tries her best to care for her family but constantly fears that she isn't doing enough.
The story begins with the murder of Maeve's cousin Sean, who is found in his car with his pants unzipped and a bullet in his head. Despite being raised in a close-knit Irish family where everyone lives within a block from each other, she feels very little sorrow at his death. She remembers him as a bully who tormented her as a child and only attends his funeral services out of family duty. She doesn't give his death a second thought until investigating officers start to focus on her father as their main suspect. Unable to understand how the police could seriously believe an old man with dementia could be responsible she is determined to help prove his innocence. Unfortunately, circumstances are such that he could have had the opportunity, and Maeve begins to wonder if her father could be exaggerating the degree of his confusion.
The mystery of the killer's identity will have readers guessing until the very last page. This novel explores family dynamics and how far a person would go to protect the people they care about. Maeve is a complex character that readers will find captivating, and will make them wish they could stop by her shop for a cup of coffee and a pastry.
Lives will never be the same again in Rachel Joyce's Perfect when, in the summer of 1972, two 11-year-old boys convince themselves that the British government is adding two seconds to that year. Byron, a heartfelt husky lad, admires his lone friend, James, for his intelligence and diligent approach to life. When James informs him of this addition to time, Byron has no reason to doubt him.
However, when Byron witnesses a shocking incident within these extra seconds, the repercussions prove costly for everyone surrounding him, especially his captivating mother, Diana. Although she delights in nature, theater and small kindnesses, Byron's thoughtful observations detect a deeper sadness under his mother's delicate repose. Her husband expects her to dress in the refined styles of the '50s and lavishes gifts upon her, like a brand new Jaguar, for the sole purpose of instilling envy in the community.
Fast-forward two decades and we encounter Jim, a man living in a dilapidated trailer who is plagued by obsessive compulsive tendencies. Although he is well-meaning, his stuttering and fear of disasters keep him from developing any real relationships with others. As these alternating stories escalate, the two seconds become more mysterious and questionable, yet are vital to these seemingly unrelated plots in this latest work by the author of The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry.
The Today Show reinstated its book club in 2013, and the first two selections went on to be bestsellers. The newest selection is Under the Wide and Starry Sky by Nancy Horan, a fascinating portrayal of the unknown woman behind a famous man. In her new novel, Horan reimagines the lives of author Robert Louis Stevenson and his wife Fanny Van de Grift Osbourne. Although most of us are familiar with Stevenson's work, few people know about the smart, independent woman who was his wife.
Fanny decides to leave her husband and her life in San Francisco behind to start over. Along with her three children, she travels to Belgium planning to study art. After a tragedy occurs during her travels, Fanny goes to an artists' retreat in France where she meets Louis, a Scottish man 10 years her junior. Louis is captivated by the beautiful, opinionated and brash American woman. Although she is initially resistant to her suitor, eventually Louis wins her over, and their tumultuous love affair begins. The story takes them across Europe and America and through the South Pacific.
Many readers will remember Horan's wildly popular first novel Loving Frank, which was the story of Frank Lloyd Wright's love affair with Mamah Borthwick Cheney. Horan says that she is led to these women by first becoming fascinated by the men's lives. She shares more about what inspires her to write about the lives of these fascinating women in this video.
When Piper enlisted a local chef to do a cooking demonstration at the grand opening of her spice shop, she had no idea the troubles it would stir up. Chef Barrone and Piper have difficulty seeing eye-to-eye, but that doesn't mean she wasn't horrified to find him dead the morning of his big demo. Unfortunately for Piper, all the evidence points to her as the murderer and in a small, gossip-ridden town, this can make all the difference to a new business owner.
As a recent divorcee, Piper is trying to find her livelihood through her spice shop, but what should be an exciting time is marred by the town's suspicions of her murdering Barrone. This, mixed with the fact that she is trying to maintain a relationship with her daughter while beginning to date, is a recipe for pandemonium.
In order to clear her good name and get back to her normal life, Piper enlists the help of her best friend, Reba Mae, to unofficially aid the new chief of police in the murder investigation. Their hapless efforts turn out to be more like Lucy and Ethel than Cagney and Lacey.
Gail Oust creates a cozy mystery in Rosemary and Crime. She combines a dollop of mystery with a dash of southern living and a sprinkle of romance for a recipe that is sure to please those who like a nice light mystery. For those readers who have a taste for Oust, be sure to check out the Bunco Babes mysteries.
Lene Kaaberbøl's Death of a Nightingale begins with Olga and Oxana, two sisters growing up in the Ukraine during the time when Stalin was considered their uncle, whether they liked it or not. During that time, it was hard to tell what was right and what was wrong because regardless of what one did, there was someone who said it was wrong. Olga and Oxana's family did what it had to do to get by during famine, but it's not until years later that the reader sees the ripples of the sisters' actions.
In the current day, Nina, a Danish nurse with the Red Cross, has taken charge of looking after the asthmatic daughter of Natasha, a woman who was convicted of attempting to kill her abusive fiancé. When Nina agreed to take extra care of this young girl, she didn't realize protecting her from harm could include keeping her safe from people trying to kill or kidnap her. She becomes entangled in a situation far more dangerous than she could have imagined.
The timing coincides with Natasha's escape from custody as she sets off to find her daughter and right the wrongs of her past. It is after Natasha's escape that her ex-fiancé is found tortured and killed in a similar fashion to her ex-husband's. Although police suspect Natasha, Nina has suspicions that something more is going on. Now she becomes ensnared with keeping Katerina safe at all costs, even if that means saving her from her own mother.
It's not until the end of this roller coaster of a novel that the reader sees how Olga and Oxana's past actions have created this tense situation. Though this novel can be read as a stand-alone book, it's the third in the Nina Borg series. Those who enjoy Nordic crime novels such as The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo are sure to find edge-of-your-seat satisfaction with this series as well.
Mark your calendars for an exciting literary event! Author April Smith will visit the Perry Hall Branch at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 9 to talk about her new novel, A Star for Mrs. Blake.
In 1929, Congress passed the Pilgrimage Bill, a piece of legislation that allocated $5 million to help mothers and widows of fallen World War I soldiers travel to France to visit their graves. During the project, 6,693 women made the journey to their loved ones' graves. Cora Blake is a single mother whose 16-year-old son lied about his age to enlist in the Army near the end of the war. He was killed in action, and she made the difficult decision to have him buried in France. In 1931, Cora is invited to travel to France with a group of American Gold Star Mothers to visit her son's grave. Although the mothers come from very different backgrounds, they share the common link of their lost sons. The novel follows Cora and her group on their remarkable journey, which changes their lives in surprising and indelible ways.
This beautiful story would be an excellent choice for book clubs. Smith brings this little-known piece of American history to light with warmth and sensitivity. The novel, which is a departure from Smith's Ana Grey mystery series, is getting a lot of national media attention, and BCPL is delighted to offer our customers this opportunity to meet Smith and learn more about this fascinating story.
Betty Dean is 10 when she moves to the island of Guernsey to live with Arlette, her mother's boyfriend's mother in Lisa Jewell's Before I Met You. Arlette is in her mid-80s, but still independent, stylish and intimidating. Despite the decades that separate the elderly spitfire and the little girl, they become fast friends. When Arlette's health deteriorates, it is Betty who remains with her, providing loving care while forgoing college, boyfriends and jobs. Following Arlette's death, Betty is provided with a small amount of money, a fabulous collection of vintage clothes and a chance to finally start living. A bequest to an unknown and unfound woman named Clara Pickle leaves the family puzzled and Betty determined to track her down. Betty quickly moves to SoHo determined to find the mysterious Ms. Pickle and kick start her life in the process.
In searching for Clara, Betty also uncovers truths about Arlette and herself. Jewell simultaneously shares the stories of two young women coming of age in two very different Londons. Arlette is a beautiful and charismatic shop girl in a post-World War I London awash with artists and free thinkers. She is swept up in the bohemian movement and her friends include an impoverished artist and a jazz musician. In Betty's London, it is 1995 where jobs are scarce and rent is high. She secures employment at Wendy's and also becomes nanny to the children of notorious rocker Dom Jones. Both young women are balancing independence and good times with work, others' expectations and romantic entanglements.
As the story glides between the two women, readers will be absorbed by the intrigue of Clara Pickle and embrace the fun and feisty Arlette and Betty. Jewell masterfully paints the portraits of two appealing young women struggling with genuine problems that transcend time. Forbidden romance, family dynamics and finding one's self are at the core of this engaging and unforgettable novel of two inspirational women connected by fate.
Nora de Jong is a successful brain surgeon and single mother of a beautiful 6-month-old girl. She lives a quiet and happy life in Texas where she shares a home with her widowed mother. Upon returning from work one afternoon she is horrified to discover that her mother has been murdered and her daughter stolen. Frantic to discover a clue to explain this tragedy and locate her baby, she unearths a small box which has been hidden in the attic. The contents are unfathomable, indicating that her mother was a member of the Nazi party in Holland during World War II and that her father had been wanted for murder. Nora is convinced that the answers to who took her daughter are tied to her parents' past. The Tulip Eaters by Antoinette van Heugten is an intense, fast-paced novel combined with an intriguing work of historical fiction. Through journal entries and recounted memories, the reader is transported to Nazi-occupied Holland. The insidious isolation of the Jews and the heroic actions taken by the members of the Dutch resistance come to life through the author's insightful writing.
Ms. Van Heugten's fascination with this time period started close to home. Both of her parents grew up in Holland during the occupation and were members of the resistance. Typical of that generation, they were hesitant to describe their experiences; however, their activities inspired the author to learn more. She spent time in Amsterdam researching at the Dutch War Institute where she was immersed in the daily life and hardships of the war, as told through letters and diaries. The end result is The Tulip Eaters, a thoroughly investigated, action-packed adventure.

We do not know exactly how many 1799 Cents were originally produced since the mintage figure is included in the 1.8 million-coin total for 1798. Like the VG Details representative that we are also offering in this sale, this coin is boldly detailed over the word LIBERTY with softness of strike on the date and in the corresponding area on the reverse. The balance of the features are appreciably bold, and the otherwise charcoal-brown color lightens over many of the devices. Some verdigris is noted in the more protected areas, particularly on the reverse. (NGC ID# 2246, PCGS# 1443)

I do believe I asked for a crit on the horse, not advice about his riding. Not to come off rude, but he does ride my horse. And is learning just from watching me handle my head strong mare. I think age means nothing. I trained a 3 year old who was an angel, and hated riding my 19 year old mare. I am going to ride him also, and see uf he is too strong for him. We have another horse we are looking at, also he is about to turn five. This one gets a training refresher every few months. So personally I feel he would be fine. My friend is also a very persistant person who I think would be just fine because he has more pacience than I do..

Hopefully it's Hydron, Sagitar, or Mara!!!
From Facebook:
Just finished one up, Tim! The tooling pattern went out yesterday.
"My favorite Harry Potter movie is Troll."
Hopefully it's Hydron, Sagitar, or Mara!!!
Must Haves before MOTUC is complete! QUEEN ANGELLA! Mermista, Peekablue, Perfuma, Imp, Admiral Scurvy, General Sunder, Colonel Blast, Vultak, Clawdeen, Stridor, Nightstalker, Cat version of Catra METEORBS Gwildor, Saurod, Point Dread with Talon Fighter! Sagitar
My figures are crossed for Mara, but Hydron seems the most likely.
"Don't crowd me boys!"
Gotta be a heavy hitter and possibly part of the sub lure for 2014.. unless it's the December figure.
Agggh! I hope it's Sagitar or Hydron.

Upcoming Graphic Novel: www.eonquest.com
I hope its the capt'n! The GP seriously need more representation and having Hydron and NA He-Man this year would be cool beans!!
I'd be thrilled with any guardian but I really want Hydron!!
I would take pretty well any of them.
Most Wanted Crita, Kittrina, Granita, Hawke, Lady Slither, Hunga, Sagitar, Tuskador, Vultak, Dylamug, Masque, Sebrian, Dree Elle, Uncle Montork, King Miro, Quakke, Butthead, Hoove, Darius, Spinwit, Nocturna, Kayo, Lizzor, Artilla, Vizar, Staghorn, Lodar, Twiggets, Drissi,Crystoll, Caz, Bubblor, Three Beast, Fang-Or, Great Black Wizard, Major Header, Ra-Jar, and Negator.
Same here. Don't care who it is just bring on MORE NA!

~ Me ~
MY Feedback Thread : http://www.he-man.org/forums/boards/...d.php?t=191572
Sagitar, Tuskador, or NA care
C'mmmmmmmmmmmooooooooooooon Hydron, Darius, Mara, Tuskador, Artilla, Drissi, or Sagitar!
Based strictly on trademarks its Hydron, Darius, or Tuskador
I'm guessing they're working on 2014 figures, if so, it probably is Hydron.
WISHLISTKarg ~ Crita ~ Despara ~ Fang-Or ~ Kittrina ~ Darius ~ Sorceress of Serpos Teela ~ Lodar ~ Hunga The Harpy Great Black Wizard ~ Staghorn ~ Lady Slither ~ Artilla ~ Ra-Jarr ~ Major Header ~ Vultak ~
Crimson Fury ~ Kex Queen ~ Hawke ~ Red Beast ~ Angast ~ Delora ~ Quakke ~ Lord Masque ~ Zilora ~ Three-Beast Robowoman ~ DC He-Man ~ DC She-Ra ~ DC Stratos
I'm betting on Tuskador
"Skeletor to King Randor, Skeletor to King Randor, come in you Royal Boob!"
No offense but Tuskador is a D lister at best. I believe they'll give NA only a few spots for remaining characters like Flogg or Hydron. Hydron being long overdue, I would guess that he is the Galactic protector they're working on...
20 Most needed characters before MOTUC ends...

My latest Fan Art: http://www.he-man.org/forums/boards/...=1#post3528763
I hope it is Darius, but I expect it to be Hydron.
Ask not for whom MOTUC is made, it's made for thee.
If you have to disclaimer your like, then you don't really like it.
I think Hydron is most likely, he is a core member and easier to make than Sagitar.
I'm sure it's one of the bigger names like Hydron, which is great since I'm looking forward to him. However I still think Tuskador would turn out to be one of the best figures in the entire line.
if it isn't tuskador or sagitar, and to a lesser extent, Vizar (ONLY to increase the earth based racial minorities) I don't care.
No offense NA fans, but the Galactic protectors do NOTHING for me.
CHECK OUT MY BRAND NEW WEBSITE for my Akil and Saltfish comic strip, more to come soon!
I've got everything that I need, right in front of me! Life's a happy song people!
Fear is faith in failure
Im hoping for Hydron..... id love kayo..but that prob wont happen!!...
Man lives in the sunlit world of what he believes to be reality.
But...there is, unseen by most, an underworld, a place that is just as real,
but not as brightly lit... a DARKSIDE.

2003 Hyundai Elantra Q&A
2003 Hyundai Elantra Question: have a check engine light coming on. the code is a 121 and 122 low voltage
have changed the TPS senor, new computer, have had it checked by 5 different shops and the check engine light still come on the same code 121 122 - Visitor
Answer 1
Check the wiring integrity and look even for possible rodent damage to the wiring. Check the following links, http://engine-codes.com/p0122_hyundai.html Hyundai as a car manufacturer put a lot of free technical information and workshop manuals on line for Hyundai owners. Check out www.hmaservice.com lots of great information. - patrick mannion
Answer 2
for this code, you can 1. If you have access to a scan tool, see what the idle and WOT (wide open throttle) readings are for the TPS. Check if they're close to the specifications mentioned above. If not, then replace the TPS and re-check. 2. Check for an intermittent open or short in the TPS signal. To do that, you can't use a scan tool. You'll need an oscilliscope. The reason is because scan tools take samplings of many different readings over just one or two data lines and can miss an intermittent drop out. Hook up your oscilliscope and watch the signal. It should sweep up and down smoothly with no drop outs or spikes. 3. If no problems were noticed, perform a wiggle test. Do this by wiggling the connector and harness while watching the pattern. Does it drop out? If so, replace TPS and re-check. 4. If you have no TPS signal, check for 5 Volt reference at the connector. If it's present, check the ground circuit for open or shorts. 5. Make sure the signal circuit isn't 12V. It should never have battery voltage. If it does, trace circuit for short to voltage and repair. 6. Look for any water in the connector and replace TPS as necessary. - chinasinoy

Morning After Pill Now Over The Counter
Story By: Larry Stine
Originally Published on: 5/1/2013
The Food and Drug Administration has announced it's approved the availability of the Plan-B contraception pill for women 15 and older, without a prescription. Ed Payne has the details. Soon, you'll be able to buy one type of "morning after" pill over the counter and off the shelf, as long as you're 15 or older. That move from the FDA on Tuesday, it apples to the 'Plan B One Step' pill. At the moment, it's available to those age 17 and older, and kept behind the pharmacy counters. Customers will need to present proof of age in order to buy it. The move comes in the middle of a legal and political fight over morning after pills. Two years ago, the Food and Drug Administration wanted to make it available to all women, regardless of age. Health and Human Services Secretary, Kathleen Sebelius, overruled her won agency's recommendation and instituted the 17-year-old minimum age requirement. Last month, a federal judge in Brooklyn ordered the FDA to make the morning after pill available to all women. The FDA says this latest decision was not brought on because of the judge's ruling and is unrelated. The FDA decision applies specifically to the 'Plan B One Step' and does not apply to the two other emergency contraception drugs manufactured in the U.S. Plan B, the two-dose regimen, is available over-the-counter for women 17 and older and Ella is available only by prescription for all ages. The FDA approved Plan B in 1999. The morning after pill goes for about $50.

Russia names Advocaat national soccer coach
ROSTOV-ON-DON, Russia (AP) - The Russian football federation has signed Dick Advocaat as new coach of the national team.
Advocaat's appointment was announced Monday by federation head Sergei Fursenko.
Federation head Sergei Fursenko said that Advocaat will be on a four-year contract with the main task to qualify Russia for the finals of the European championships in 2012 and the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
"He knows Russian soccer perfectly, knows all the players and there's nothing to be explained to him," Fursenko said.
Advocaat, who unexpectedly quit as Belgium coach last month, has previous experience in Russia - coaching Zenit St. Petersburg to a Russian league title and the UEFA Cup during a three-year stint before being fired last year.
He replaces fellow Dutchman Guus Hiddink, who guided Russia to the 2008 European championship but failed to qualify for this year's World Cup.
"Dick Advocaat is good because he is a hard-working man," Fursenko said. "I know it from my own experience."
Fursenko was president of Zenit in 2006 when he invited Advocaat to coach the club.
Fursenko said there were several more candidates for the job, but refused to name them.
He also refused to disclose financial details of the contract but said that "the amount of Advocaat's salary will be lower than Hiddink's."
Advocaat was expected to report on his plans of developing the national team at the council's meeting in Moscow on Tuesday.
