A computer system includes an operating system. An advanced configuration and power interface (ACPI) system is in communication with the operating system and receives an ACPI request from the operating system. A cache is in communication with the ACPI system and receives the ACPI request from the ACPI system and provides ACPI data to the operating system via the ACPI system.

A free flow fluid delivery system, such as, for example in a printing device, includes a fluid supply container configured to hold a printing fluid, a separating container coupled to the fluid supply container and configured to receive a froth made of gas and the printing fluid and output the printing fluid in the froth to the fluid supply container and output the gas in the froth to atmosphere. A pump is coupled to the separating container and configured to urge the froth into the separating co...
