LIQUID SUPPLY SYSTEM, CONTROL METHOD, NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM STORING COMPUTER-READABLE INSTRUCTIONS, AND LIQUID SUPPLY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18520887 titled 'LIQUID SUPPLY SYSTEM, CONTROL METHOD, NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM STORING COMPUTER-READABLE INSTRUCTIONS, AND LIQUID SUPPLY DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The processor of a liquid supply system corrects the amount of liquid delivered between tanks based on the change in liquid levels before and after circulation processing.
- The correction amount is less than two times the circulation change amount.
- The correction amount is the change in remaining liquid in the server tank or printer tank before and after circulation processing.
- The tank of increase is where the remaining liquid amount increases after circulation processing.
- The tank of decrease is where the remaining liquid amount decreases after circulation processing.

- Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in inkjet printers, medical devices, and industrial liquid handling systems.
- Problems Solved
This innovation solves the issue of accurately transferring liquid between tanks without over or under-supplying.
- Benefits
- Precise liquid delivery - Efficient use of liquid resources - Reduced waste and spillage
- Potential Commercial Applications
"Precision Liquid Transfer Technology for Industrial Use"
- Possible Prior Art
There may be prior art related to liquid transfer systems in industrial machinery or medical devices.

- Unanswered Questions
- How does the processor determine the correction amount?
The processor likely uses sensors to measure the liquid levels before and after circulation processing to calculate the correction amount.
- What happens if there is a malfunction in the correction processing?
If there is a malfunction, it could lead to inaccurate liquid delivery between tanks, potentially causing operational issues or wastage.
Original Abstract Submitted
A processor of a liquid supply system performs correction processing of performing a supply operation or a return operation and delivering a liquid of a correction amount from a tank of increase to a tank of decrease. The correction amount corresponding to less than two times a circulation change amount and is an amount of change in a remaining amount of the liquid in a server tank or a printer tank from before to after circulation processing of performing the supply operation and the return operation. The tank of increase is a tank, of the server tank and the printer tank, in which the remaining amount of the liquid increases from before to after the circulation processing. The tank of decrease is a tank, of the server tank and the printer tank, in which the remaining amount of the liquid decreases from before to after the circulation processing.
