Filed: 1993-10-25
Abstract: A control system (10) controls both engine idle speed and purge flow through a fuel vapor recovery system (86) into an air/fuel intake (54) of the engine. A bypass throttle valve (66) connected in parallel with a primary engine throttle (62) is controlled by a feedback variable related to a difference between actual idle speed and desired idle speed. Purge flow is reduced when the bypass throttle position falls below a dead band provided stoichiometric air/fuel control is maintained.

Abstract: There is disclosed a thermal printer system having a multiple channel laser print head which focuses closely spaced spots of laser light energy onto a dye donor element which moves at constant velocity relatively past the print head. These laser light spots respectively print multiple lines of an image a swath at a time by heat transfer of pixels or subpixels of dye from the dye donor element to a receiver element. A light source (such as an arc lamp) applies to the dye donor element one or more precisely positioned spots of light energy which elevate the temperature of the dye donor element substantially uniformly within a zone coincidently with and closely surrounding the laser light spots. The shape, the position and the power absorbed within the zone from the light source are carefully controlled. Thus the temperature within this zone is held to a substantially uniform value sightly below the vaporization temperature of the dye to be transferred from the dye donor element. In this way the linearity and fidelity of a printed image are substantially improved, and "printing artifacts" such as banding and streaking are reduced.

Abstract: An optical scanner for use with laser printers and the like. In the optical scanner, a semiconductor laser device is combined with an aperture and a collimator lens which is one single spherical planoconvex lens for collimating the emerging laser beam, the aperture and the collimator lens being arranged in that order on the side of the laser device from which the laser beam issues. The planar side of the collimator lens is directed towards the semiconductor laser device. The collimated laser beam is focused by a cylindrical lens to form a line image elongated in the main scanning direction. A polygonal mirror for deflecting the incident laser beam at a substantially uniform angular velocity in the main scanning direction is positioned in such a way that a reflecting surface of the mirror coincides with the position where the line image forms or with a nearby area. The beam reflected from the polygonal mirror is launched into an fϑ lens, which converges it in such a way that a beam spot is scanned at a substantially uniform speed over the surface of a photoreceptor drum. For an installation-related reason, a reflector mirror is also provided between the fϑ lens and the photoreceptor drum.

Abstract: The invention provides a first water-based fluorine-containing paint including a water-based emulsion containing a fluorine-containing copolymer dispersed therein, and 1-50 parts by weight of a hardener per 100 parts by weight of the copolymer. The copolymer is prepared by copolymerizing 30-65 mol% of a fluoroolefin, 14-69 mol% of a copolymerizable vinyl-containing compound, and 1-30 mol % of a hydroxyl-containing compound and/or a polymerizable carboxyl-containing compound. The hardener is prepared by mixing 1 part by weight of a self-emulsifiable polyisocyanate with 0.01-1 part by weight of a compound containing in the molecule an oxyethylene unit and an alkoxysilyl group. When mixed with the emulsion, the hardener becomes well dispersed therein. The invention further provides a second water-based fluorine-containing paint including a water-based emulsion containing a fluorine-containing copolymer dispersed therein, and a hardener which is a compound containing in the molecule at least two hydrazino groups. The fluorine-containing copolymer is prepared by emulsion polymerization of 30-65 mol% of a fluoroolefin, 0.1-20 mol% of a polymerizable unsaturated carboxylic acid, 1-30 mol% of a polymerizable acetoacetylallyl compound, and 20-65 mol% of one of a vinyl ester and a vinyl ether. The second paint does not cure at ambient temperature, even after the hardener has been added thereto, and thus is usable as a one-package paint.
