Abstract: A replaceable ink container (12) for providing ink to a printhead (24) of a
printing system (10). The ink container has a housing (14) that includes and ink
reservoir (16) for containing a supply of ink (18), and an ink level sensor (52) for
sensing a low ink condition in the ink reservoir. The ink reservoir includes a
capillary ink storage member (20). The ink level sensor includes resistance probes
(48, 50) that are in fluid communication with the supply of ink, but are free from
contact with the capillary ink storage member. The resistance probes are mounted to
the housing by way of sensor ports (58, 60) that extend through the housing and
prevent contact between the capillary ink storage member and the probes. The
resistance probes protrude slightly from an exterior surface (62) of the housing to
define electrical contacts for engaging corresponding electrical contacts (36) of the
printing system. A change in electrical resistance measured across the resistance
probes indicates a low ink condition in the ink reservoir

Abstract: A hand-held instrument, with a rotary power input to a camshaft
(17,94) has cam (71,112) and follower (22,97) arrangement to provide a
reciprocating shaft output. A cutter (23,93) is provided on the output
shaft (21,96). In one example, rotating cam percussion is transmitted to
the cutter (23) by engaging the cutter with the issue to be cut, and
pushing the instrument forward toward the cutter. In another example,
rotating cam percussion is transmitted to the cutter (93) by engaging
the cutter with the tissue to be cut, and pulling the instrument back
toward the user while maintaining engagement of the cutter with the
tissue. In both examples, the cutter remains in idle condition until an
axially directed load, forward in the one example, or backward on the
other example, is placed on the cutter by moving the instrument forward
or backward, respectively, while the camshaft is rotating. A distractor
(171) with frame (186) is used to spread and maintain space between
vertebral bodies, enabling entrance of the cutter.

Abstract: A vertically reciprocatable needle (41) that is extremely fine in its lengthwise
direction, having a leading end portion of a triangular pyramidal shape. Edges
(41 b) are formed on a periphery of the leading end portion, and an engaging
portion (41 c) is formed at a base thereof. The engaging portion comprises a
recess (41d) and a tongue (41e) covering the recess. Below the engaging
portion, a tapered guide surface (41f) continues straight from a point on a
periphery of the needle to the recess. The recess is recessed in a needle axial
direction. The tongue has a diameter smaller than the maximum diameter of the
guide surface. The artificial hair may be surely hooked by the engaging portion
during vertical movement of the needle, which assures relative movement of the
needle at a pitch or width of high accuracy. Accordingly, it becomes possible
that the transplanting pitch of the artificial hair is controlled with high accuracy.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé d'impression d'une image fluorescente sur une surface d'un support de réception. Ledit procédé consiste à former sur la surface, au moyen d'un procédé d'impression par transfert thermique de colorants, une première image constituée d'un premier colorant fluorescent; et à former sur la première image, au moyen d'un procédé d'impression par transfert thermique de colorants, une seconde image superposée constituée d'un second colorant fluorescent, les premier et second colorants présentant des maximums d'émission différents. Ledit procédé permet ainsi la production d'une image fluorescente non monochrome (qui peut être sensiblement invisible à la lumière du jour mais qui est révélée lors de l'irradiation aux ultraviolets (UV)) qui peut être de qualité sensiblement meilleure que celles produites au moyen de procédés d'impression par transfert de masse. Ledit procédé implique de préférence l'utilisation de trois colorants fluorescents différents, pour une qualité d'image couleur améliorée. L'invention concerne également des supports de transfert thermique pouvant être utilisés dans ledit procédé et les documents imprimés obtenus portant une image fluorescente.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un ensemble rouleau à peindre présentant un élément rigide et un pinceau facilitant la peinture d'une surface (70) adjacente à une autre surface ne devant pas être peinte simultanément. Cet ensemble comprend un rouleau applicateur (58), un élément rigide (22), un pinceau (28) et un manche (20). Le pinceau (28) est fixé à l'élément rigide (22) et cet élément rigide (22) est relié à un bras (34), monté sur le manche (20) de façon à pouvoir pivoter. Ce bras (34) peut pivoter entre une position de charge de peinture et une position d'application de peinture. En position de charge de peinture, ce bras (34) pivote autour d'un axe parallèle à l'axe longitudinal du rouleau applicateur (58), en s'éloignant du rouleau applicateur (58). On peut ensuite immerger ce rouleau applicateur dans de la peinture sans risquer d'appliquer de la peinture sur l'élément rigide (22). Lorsque cet élément rigide (22) est en position d'application de peinture, sensiblement perpendiculaire et adjacente à l'axe longitudinal du rouleau applicateur (58), ce rouleau applicateur peut être mis en contact avec la surface à peindre (70) et on peut commencer à peindre. Le pinceau (28), de taille, forme et rigidité prédéterminées, est monté sur l'élément rigide (22), de sorte que les poils, ou toute autre section d'application de peinture de ce pinceau (28), se situent à une angle non orthogonal par rapport à la surface à peindre (70) et s'étendent vers un bord de la surface à peindre (72), mais pas sur la surface adjacente (74). Lorsque cet ensemble est utilisé, le rouleau applicateur (58) applique de la peinture jusqu'à une courte distance par rapport au bord de la surface à peindre (72) puis le pinceau (28) retire un peu de peinture de la surface (70) et l'applique sur le bord (72).
