==A FLUID DISTRIBUTION DEVICE FOR AN INKJET PRINT HEAD ASSEMBLY - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18560068 titled 'A FLUID DISTRIBUTION DEVICE FOR AN INKJET PRINT HEAD ASSEMBLY

'''Simplified Explanation''': 

This patent application describes a compact fluid distribution device for a print head assembly that effectively removes gas during operation and purging. The device includes a fluid chamber with a fluid permeable filter that divides the chamber, with an inlet on one side of the filter and an outlet on the other side. The filter is inclined during operation, causing the fluid volume between the filter and one side wall to taper away from the inlet.

'''Key Features and Innovation''':
* Compact fluid distribution device for print head assembly
* Effective gas removal during operation and purging
* Fluid chamber with fluid permeable filter as dividing wall
* Inlet positioned on one side of the filter, outlet on the other side
* Filter inclined during operation to taper fluid volume away from inlet

'''Potential Applications''':
The technology can be applied in various industries such as printing, 3D printing, medical devices, and industrial machinery where precise fluid distribution is required.

'''Problems Solved''':
The device addresses the issue of gas buildup in fluid distribution systems, ensuring smooth operation and preventing clogs or malfunctions.

'''Benefits''':
* Efficient gas removal for uninterrupted operation
* Prevents clogs and malfunctions in fluid distribution systems
* Compact design suitable for various applications

'''Commercial Applications''':
Potential commercial applications include inkjet printers, 3D printers, medical infusion pumps, and industrial fluid distribution systems. The technology can improve the reliability and performance of these systems.

'''Prior Art''''':
Readers interested in prior art related to this technology can explore patents and research papers on fluid distribution devices, gas removal systems, and print head assemblies.

'''Frequently Updated Research''':
Researchers are continually exploring advancements in fluid distribution technology, including improved gas removal systems and compact designs for print head assemblies.

'''Questions about the Technology''':
1. What are the specific industries that could benefit from this compact fluid distribution device?
2. How does the inclined filter in the device contribute to effective gas removal during operation?


==Original Abstract Submitted==

A compact fluid distribution device for a print head assembly is provided, which device allows for the effective removal of gas from the device during operation and purging. The device comprises a fluid chamber with a fluid permeable filter forming a dividing wall in the fluid chamber, such that an inlet is positioned on a first side of the filter and the outlet is positioned on a second side of the filter. The filter is inclined with respect to a first direction parallel to a vertical direction during operation, such that a first volume in the fluid chamber between the filter and a first side wall facing the filter tapers in a direction away from the inlet.
