    Abstract: Provided is a priming mechanism for priming a biofluid drop ejection device having a drop ejection opening leading to an ejection reservoir. The priming mechanism includes a vacuum unit which generates a vacuum force, connected to a vacuum nozzle. The vacuum nozzle is located over the drop ejection opening. A disposable sleeve or tubing is attached to the vacuum nozzle and is placed in operational contact with the drop ejection opening. A fluid height detection sensor is positioned to sense a fluid height within at least one of the disposable tubing and the vacuum nozzle. Upon sensing a predetermined fluid height, by the fluid height detection sensor, the priming operation is completed, and the primer mechanism is removed from the operational contact with the drop ejection opening.

    Abstract: A droplet emitter with an array of droplet emitting devices constructed such that one flowing liquid is used to create the droplets while a second low acousti c impedance liquid can be used to both make the transfer of acoustic energy to the first liquid more efficient and help maintain a uniform temperature of the droplet emitter array. Both the emission fluid and the low acoustic impedance fluid can be circulated throug h the droplet emitter to allow for excess heat generated by control electronics to be transferred to the flowing. This prevents for instance excess heat build-up within the droplet emitter and allows for higher more accurate droplet emission.

    Abstract: An acoustic printhead comprises a matrix of drop ejectors configured in rows and columns, a plurality of row switches that are connected to control operation of the rows of the drop ejectors, and a plurality of column switches, connected to control operation of the columns of drop ejectors, wherein by selection of an appropriate row switch and column switch, a particular transducer of a specific drop ejector is turned on. The printhead further comprises a controller connected to the plurality of row switches and column switches, and a compensation network connected to the rows and/or columns of drop ejectors.
