Abstract: A method and apparatus for operating a color ink jet printer (Fig. 1) of the type which prints a swath of the image at a time with each transit across a sheet. An image may be optionally preprocessed with undercolor removal (104), so that each color pixel in the image is defined by black and, at most, two colored inks. Color is deposited to print the image on forward and return transits (Fig. 4) of a multiple color printhead across a sheet. The colors and location printed in each transit are determined (108, 110) prior to the first transit (304; Fig. 4), by determining (200) first, which colors may be printed in the second transit (302; Fig. 4) irrespective of their order of deposit. The result of this determination is logically ANDed (202) with a checkerboard pattern (X) to determine printing locations. Then, the other required colors and locations for the image which will not be printed with the second transit are determined (350); and these are printed on a first transit (304; Fig. 4). Each swath is printed with forward and reverse transits, with checkerboarding of the reverse transit to prevent head signature artifacts. After each transit, the sheet maybe moved by one half swath width relative to the printhead so that the latter advances printing down the page incrementally.

Abstract: In a method of forming a wiring layer, a connection hole is formed to penetrate an insulating film. A barrier metal film is formed at least on an inner wall of the connection hole and a peripheral portion to have surface roughness. Next, a film of the metal including aluminum is deposited on the barrier metal film to fill a portion of the connection hole. Then, while the metal including aluminum is flowed into the connection hole, the film of the metal including aluminum is further deposited to fill the remaining portion of the connection hole with the metal including aluminum. In order to have the surface roughness sufficient to prevent cohesion of particles of metal including aluminum, the barrier metal film may be formed as an immediately lower layer of the metal film at a temperature in a range of room temperature to 150 °C or under a pressure in a range of 10 to 30 mTorr. Alternatively, when the barrier metal film is composed of two films, each of the two films may be formed at a temperature in a range of room temperature to 150 °C. As a result, the surface roughness of the barrier metal film is in a range of 10 to 50 nm. As a result, the connection hole can be filled with the metal including aluminum.

Abstract: The present invention provides a technique for stabilizing a swage configuration in the suspension assembly of a disk drive system. To attach a suspension 10 having a signal conversion head to the actuator 9, the end of the suspension 10 opposite the end to which the head is attached is preferably connected to a mount plate 10b for fixation. The inner diameter of the swaging boss in this mount plate 10b differs with upper and lower opposed surfaces of an actuator arm 9a. After positioning the mount plates with bosses of a larger inner diameter and performing a first swage step, mount plates of a smaller inner diameter are positioned and a second swage step is performed from a different direction to the first swage step. Even when performing a bidirectional swage onto suspensions attached to both upper and lower surfaces of the actuator arm, a boss caulked with the first swage is subjected to no deformation with a later swage and therefore a stable swage is possible.

Abstract: A method for forming solid electrolytic capacitors provides for anode lead and body surface with increased dielectric thickness as distinguished from a dielectric thickness formed within the inner anode body such that a capacitance value associated therewith is not substantially decreased. The method includes the steps of anodizing the anode to form a predetermined dielectric thickness on the anode and then soaking the anode in a solvent to impregnate an inner portion thereof with the solvent. The solvent is removed from surface areas desired to be coated by a further dielectric layer and thereafter again anodized whereby additional dielectric build-up is limited to the solvent free areas. The solvent is driven off resulting in a capacitor preform which is reinforced by thickened dielectric without capacitance loss which would result from depositing additional dielectric interiorly in the areas insulated from build-up by the solvent.

Abstract: A bone prosthesis has a stem with a hollow interior and an external surface that allows wedging contact with surrounding bone while transferring strain at a level comparable to that of natural bone. The stem is cast about an irregular plug body, which is then removed, leaving a wall thickness that satisfies the opposing constraints of high strength and relatively low stiffness. The plug narrows the prosthesis wall thickness in upper regions thereof and strengthens the wall about regions of recessed or discontinuous features, or high load coupling, to assure that the stem has adequate strength in regions of high strain. while effectively coupling strain to surrounding bone. The prosthesis is produced in a range of sizes, and plugs or entire molds for casting the hollow body are readily made and modified by a three-dimensional printing mold fabrication technique.

Abstract: In a steering angle correcting system, a steering amount required to maintain a positional relationship of a subject vehicle to a road lane ahead of the subject vehicle is calculated in a steering amount calculating device based on outputs from a first detecting device for detecting the state of a lane of a road ahead of the vehicle which is traveling, and a second detecting device for detecting a current positional relationship of the subject vehicle to the road lane. A steering device (8,9,10) is driven by a driving device (52,53) mounted between a grasping portion of a steering wheel (5) and the steering device so as to decrease the difference between a steering amount detected by a steering amount detecting device and a steering amount calculated in the steering amount calculating device. Whenever a driver's intention and the determination by the system are different from each other, a driver can operate the steering wheel (5) to intervene in the steering. In addition, the driver can immediately intervene in the steering at all times, while normally maintaining a cooperating relationship to the system. Thus, the steering angle correcting system has a semi-automatic steering concept.

Abstract: A broad-band amplifier circuit is furnished with a plurality of amplifiers with a coupling capacitor being interposed between every two adjacent amplifiers. Each coupling capacitor has a capacity large enough to prevent adverse effect of external noise. Accordingly, not only the passing of a signal having a low frequency is allowed, but also an element operable in a high frequency, such as a Schottky transistor, can be provided in each amplifier as a transistor. At least the transistor of the amplifier in the last stage is connected to a diode, so that the charges accumulated between its collector and base while the amplifier stays on are fed back and eliminated. Accordingly, the broad-band amplifier circuit can carry out a flat amplifying operation over a wide range from low to high frequency bands, and therefore, can be used for all the ASK method, IrDA1.0 method, and IrDA1.1 method. Consequently, not only the manufacturing cost, but also the size of the broad-band amplifier circuit can be reduced.
