liquid developing material, including a liquid developing material applicator (113), the housing defining
an aperture adapted for transporting liquid developing material into contact with the imaging
member, the housing further including a planar surface (116) adjacent the aperture for providing a
liquid developing material application region in which the liquid developing material can flow freely
with the imaging member; a developing roll (123) situated adjacent the liquid developing material
applicator and downstream therefrom relative to a path of travel of the imaging member; and a
cleaning system, operatively coupled to the liquid developing material applicator (113), for cleaning
residue liquid developer material from the liquid developing material applicator and the developing

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a lift pin 95 for
dechucking a substrate 15 held to a chuck 50 by
residual electrostatic charge, the substrate being
processed in a plasma formed using RF currents. The
lift pin 95 comprises a movable elongated member 110
having a tip 115 suitable for lifting and lowering the
substrate 15 off the chuck 50, and capable of forming
an electrically conductive path between the substrate
15 and a current sink 105. The electrically
conductive path comprises at least one of the
following: (1) a frequency selective filter capable of
filtering RF currents flowing therethrough so that
substantially no RF currents flow through the filter;
or (2) a resistor having a resistance sufficiently
elevated to reduce the voltage caused by RF currents
flowing therethrough, by at least about 50%. The lift
pin 95 allows the residual electrostatic charge in the
substrate 15 to be discharged to the current sink 105
substantially without allowing RF currents, used to
form a plasma in the process chamber and to attract
the plasma to the substrate, from flowing to the
current sink 105.

Abstract: In the process of lowering the vehicle height, oil
discharged from actuators 11FL and 11FR corresponding to left
and right front wheels flows through a left front-wheel
conduit 30 and a right front-wheel conduit 31, whereas oil
discharged from actuators 11RL and 11RR corresponding to left
and right rear wheels flows through a left rear-wheel conduit
32 and a right rear-wheel conduit 33. The left front-wheel
conduit 30 and the right front-wheel conduit 31 have greater
effective diameters than those of the left rear-wheel conduit
32 and the right rear-wheel conduit 33. The flow resistance
in the left front-wheel conduit 30 and the right front-wheel
conduit 31 is accordingly smaller than that in the left
rear-wheel conduit 32 and the right rear-wheel conduit 33.
This means that oil is discharged from the actuators 11FL and
11FR corresponding to the front wheels at a greater rate than
that from the actuators 11RL and 11RR corresponding to the
rear wheels.

Abstract: A head body (11) is shaped to project toward an ink
ejection side, and formed along the projection with an
ink channel (18) for circulating the ink, at the vertex
of the front end of which an opening is formed for ejecting
the ink from the ink channel. An ejection electrode
(12, 13) is formed along the front end of the head body.
Its front end reaches the opening. An electrophoresis
electrode is secured in the ink channel (18) at a position
opposite to the opening, and supplied with a voltage
for moving the toner particles in the ink flowing in the
ink channel to the front end of the ejection electrode
with the electrophoresis effect. An opposite electrode
is positioned opposite to the ink ejection side. A drive
circuit drives the opposite electrode when the electrophoresis
electrode is driven, and generates voltage for
attracting the toner particles toward the opposite electrode
with Coulomb force that is generated by an electric
field acting between the ejection electrode and the electrophoresis
electrode, and the opposite electrode.

Abstract: The metering valve (24) has a shutter (44) for a
discharge conduit (43), and an electromagnet (26) for
controlling an armature (27) disconnected from the
respective stem (47) and sliding along the stem (47) by
means of a sleeve (48). The stem (47) is guided by a
fixed sleeve (53) and is pushed by a first spring (52)

to the stem (47). To reduce the overtravel of the
armature (27) with respect to the travel of the stem
(47) to move the shutter (44) into the closed position,
and to damp oscillation of the armature (27), provision
is made, between the two sleeves (48, 53), for a bush

Abstract: A system and method for establishing a peer-to-peer communication connection
between computer programs from the same security domain, but executing in
first and second computers, is disclosed. A first computer program, while
executing in the first computer, sends a communication a message to the second
computer, requesting a peer-to-peer communication connection. Upon receiving
the message at said second computer, the second computer determines whether
a second computer program meeting predefined criteria for establishing a
peer-to-peer communication connection is executing in the second computer. If
so, the second computer sends to the first computer a reply message accepting
the request. After receipt of the reply message by the first computer, the
requested peer-to-peer communication connection between the first and second
computer programs is established. In a preferred embodiment, the predefined
criteria for establishing a peer-to-peer communication connection is that the first
and second computer programs be from the same server computer.

Abstract: A method of halftoning a sample value from an intensity
range including the steps of providing threshold arrays
having threshold values from distinct ranges, one of
which is the same as the intensity range, selecting the
one with the same range as the intensity range and using
the selected threshold array to halftone the sample
value. Embodiments may include the following features.
The threshold arrays are a first one having a first
threshold value range and a second one having a second
threshold value range that has more levels than does the
first threshold value range. The first threshold array
is built by scaling each value in the second threshold
array down to the range of the first threshold array.
The scaling is done by dividing by 257 and rounding up to
the next whole number. The first threshold array has a
threshold value range of zero to 255 and the second
threshold array has a threshold value range of zero to
65535 or zero to 4095. Tone correction is performed
using a transfer function mapping an 8-bit input sample
value to a tone-corrected output sample value having more
than 8 bits.

Abstract: A valve assembly for inflatable bladders (8),
including beds, balls, toys and other inflatable
objects includes a locking mechanism (30, 30', 32)
within the valve for releasably holding the valve
opened. The valve acts in three distinct ways. In a
first way the valve is closed maintaining the bladder
internal pressure. In a second way the valve may be
incrementally opened by a user to release the internal
pressure to suit the user. In a third way the valve may
be opened and locked or latched to remain open allowing
the deflation of the bladder (8). A spring (24)
provides a return force to close the valve when the lock
is not engaged. Air pressure from outside the bladder
(8) supplied by a pump or the like will force the valve
diaphragm (28) open against the spring (24) and allow
air to enter. The diaphragm (28) is made of a resilient
seal material. The locking mechanism (30, 30', 32) is
engaged by pressing the diaphragm (28) open and twisting
to engage a lock. When the lock is further twisted or
twisted in the reverse direction the lock is disengaged
allowing the spring (24) and internal air pressure to
close the valve. The valve can be pressed from the
exterior to open the valve, without engaging the lock,
for a selectable time such that the pressure within the
bladder can be adjusted. Adapters (72, 80) may be used
with the valve assembly so that different air blowers
can be used to inflate the bladder (8).
