Abstract: A piezoelectric device for an ink jet print head that
has a greater displacement at a low drive voltage. The
ink-jet recording head comprises vibration plate, on which
is mounted one or more piezoelectric devices that change
the volumes of pressure chambers upon application of a
voltage. The device is mounted at least on one face of
a pressure chamber substrate that is to be filled with ink.
Such piezoelectric device (4) a second piezoelectric
layer (42) having a piezoelectric constant g of a constant
value or higher; and a first piezoelectric layer (41)
having a dielectric constant of a specific value or higher.
Since the piezoelectric constant d of the piezoelectric
device correlates with the product of the largest
piezoelectric constant g and the largest dielectric device
of the piezoelectric devices, a piezoelectric constant d
larger than in the conventional case, i.e., having a
greater displacement, can be obtained.

Abstract: The statistics mode for the recording of pre-compressed data according to statistics classes, e.g. postal classes, is installed interchangeably. At the data centre new, freely selectable, statistic instruction data for future statistics modes are formed. They are formed, for the purpose of a transfer, in the form of an instruction data set. The statistics mode is installed during communication of the franking machine with the data centre. The franking machine microprocessor is programmed via modem or other means with the statistics mode periodically. In the communication mode there are transactions to transfer the data of the old statistics mode to the data centre. After an error free transaction to interrogate the old data and after a transfer of valid new statistics command data during the next transaction, the old statistics data are erased. Recording is then processed according to the new statistic classes.

Abstract: A control method for use in controlling the operation of a turbo-charged
engine comprises the steps of:
   using at least one engine parameter to derive a predicted
transient air pressure value;   sensing an actual air pressure value using a pressure sensor (30);
and   comparing the actual air pressure value with the predicted
transient air pressure value to determine a predicted boost pressure error.  
The boost pressure error may be used in determining whether or not the
pressure sensor is operating properly. It may also be used in determining
whether the engine is in a transient condition, allowing the improvement
in the response of the turbo-charger and this reduces turbo-lag.

Abstract: A protective system including a garment-shaped inflatable member for
surrounding at least upper portions of the body of a rider of a non-enclosed vehicle
and including at least a first inflatable portion for covering and protecting front and
rear portions of the body and at least a second inflatable portion for covering and
temporarily immobilizing at least the rider's upper spine, a source of pressurized gas
incorporated in the inflatable member, and means for exposing the interior of the
inflatable member to the pressurized gas source for rapidly inflating the inflatable
member in response to a sudden separation of the rider from the vehicle by at least a
predetermined distance. The means for exposing includes a connector for selectably
connecting and disconnecting the inflatable member and the vehicle including a
frangible element, wherein, in response to a sudden separation of the rider from the
vehicle operative to apply at least a predetermined force to the connector, the
connector is operative to transmit the force, first, to the gas release means so as to
cause operation thereof so as to inflate the inflatable member, and subsequently, to the
frangible element, thereby to cause disengagement thereof from the vehicle, thereby
permitting disconnection of the inflatable member from the vehicle, gas release means
associated with the pressurized gas, and electromechanical operating means
associated with the gas release means and the connector, including mechanical means
responsive to a sudden separation of the rider from the vehicle by at least a
predetermined distance to actuate means for providing voltage to activate the gas
release means so as to inflate the inflatable member and so as also to disconnect the
inflatable member from the vehicle. In particular, the inflatable member has a
garment-shaped configuration when in a non-inflated orientation, and when inflated,
has an expanded, generally rounded configuration such that large magnitude
concentrated forces experienced thereby on impact with an object subsequent to the
sudden separation of the rider from the vehicle are prevented from transfer directly to
the rider, thereby protecting the surrounded upper portions of the rider's body from
serious injury.

Abstract: A printer for forming a full-width image (20) on a receiver (30)
exclusive of a transverse side (45a/b) of the receiver, and method of assembling
the printer. The printer comprises an ink jet print head (50) adapted to eject a
plurality of ink droplets (60) onto a receiver sheet for forming an image that
extends a full-width (W) of the receiver sheet. To achieve this result, the print
head commences ejection of ink droplets beginning at a predetermined distance
(d) from a transverse side of the receiver sheet. A reservoir (180,190a,190b) is disposed
adjacent the transverse side and along the predetermined distance for collecting
ink droplets ejected along the predetermined distance, so that none of the ink
droplets are inadvertently deposited onto the transverse side or onto components
housed in the printer. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the reservoir is
an absorbent material that absorbs the ink droplets ejected along the predetermined
distance. Alternatively, the reservoir can be a drain for collecting the ink droplets
ejected along the predetermined distance. As another alternative, the ink droplets
are caused to possess an electrostatic charge of a first polarity and the reservoir is
caused to possess an electrostatic charge of a second polarity opposite the first
polarity, so that the ink droplets ejected along the predetermined distance are
preferentially attracted to the reservoir.
