The present subject matter relates to accessing memory units in a memory bank. In an example implementation, a bank select transistor is common to a plurality of memory units in a memory bank. The bank select transistor facilitates accessing a memory unit of the plurality of memory units based on a bank select signal.

The present disclosure relates to the field of display technology, and provides an inkjet assembly, an inkjet printing apparatus and an inkjet printing method. The inkjet assembly includes at least one jet printing member having a first surface on which an inkjet port is formed. The inkjet assembly further includes a deflection member configured to provide a deflection force to a fluid emitted from the inkjet port and a control member configured to control operation of the deflection member.

A liquid absorber includes a container that has an opening and that recovers liquid and a first absorbing unit that is constituted by an aggregate of porous absorbing body blocks and that is housed in the container such that a gap exists between the porous absorbing body blocks. The porous absorbing body blocks have a density of 0.05 [g/cm.sup.3] or more and 0.50 [g/cm.sup.3] or less.

A supporting section is disposed to confront an ejection surface and supports a recording medium. A first tank is mounted on a first-tank mount section. A liquid conveying section conveys liquid to a liquid ejecting head. A receiving section receives liquid ejected from the liquid ejecting head. A waste-liquid conveying section conveys liquid to the waste-liquid tank. A first casing holds the liquid ejecting head, the first-tank mount section, and the liquid conveying section. A second casing holds the supporting section, the receiving section, the waste-liquid tank, and the waste-liquid conveying section. The first casing is connected with the second casing such that the first casing is movable relative to the second casing. The first casing takes a first position at which the ejection surface confronts the supporting section and a second position at which the ejection surface is farther away from the supporting section than at the first position.

An inkjet printer includes a printer body, a waste ink container, and a cover member. The waste ink container includes a first engagement portion. The cover member constitutes a part of a housing of the inkjet printer and includes a second engagement portion. The second engagement portion is engageable with the first engagement portion.

A printing platform includes a printing engine with one or more printheads arranged such that the ink drops are jetted vertically upwards against the action of gravity; and a substrate transportation system where the normal to the surface in contact with the substrate is parallel and with opposite direction to the travelling direction of the jetted ink drops. It is necessary to counteract the weight of the substrate during the printing process to avoid it from falling under the action of gravity. This is achieved through any of a mechanical element that interferes with the falling of the substrate and that keeps it in place; or a system that generates adhesion forces between the element that transmits the motion to the substrate, typically a conveyor belt, and the substrate through the action of electrostatic forces, an air pressure differential between both faces of the substrate, or any other suitable mechanism.

The disclosure concerns a printhead for the application of a coating agent to a component, in particular for painting a vehicle body component with a paint. The disclosure provides that the printhead is designed in such a way that it enables a color change during coating operation and can be rinsed with a rinsing agent during a color change in order to rinse out coating agent residues from the printhead.

An inkjet circulation apparatus may include at least one inkjet printer including a supplier into which an ink is injected, a discharger connected to the supplier, and discharging the ink injected from the supplier, and a drain connected to the discharger and the supplier, and injecting the ink in the discharger into the supplier, at least one collector capable of containing an inert gas and the ink discharged from the discharger, and a contact member sealing between the discharger and the collector.

An ink heating device (7) includes a heater circuit (91) including a heater (71) which heats ink and an auto-return type bimetal switch (92) which is provided between the heater (71) and a power source (A); a relay (5) provided between the bimetal switch (92) and the power source (A); and a controller (4) which opens or closes the relay (5) according to a state of the heater circuit (91).
