Patent EP-0817114-A2 (EP)
Inventor: KANG HENRY R
IPC: B41J2/205
Filed: 1997-06-24
Abstract: A method and apparatus of printing with a liquid ink printhead ejecting ink in swaths on a
recording medium to form an image including a plurality of dots deposited at pixel locations of a
scanline. The printer deposits a plurality of dots at adjacent pixel locations on the scan line during
non-consecutive swaths of the printhead to form the image. Dot interaction between dots is
minimized so that no two dots are deposited adjacent to each other in consecutive depositions of the
dots of consecutive swaths of the printhead. Reduction of ink bleeding, printhead signatures such as
banding, and other defects caused by clogged nozzles of the printhead are reduced.

Abstract: Disclosed is a washing solution of a semiconductor substrate
which comprises 0.0001 to 0.1 % by weight of an organic
acid and 0.005 to 0.25 % by weight of hydrofluoric
acid and has pH of 2 to 4. When a contaminated substrate is
immersed in a washing solution, a naturally oxidized film on
the surface of the substrate is removed by hydrofluoric acid,
and fine particles on the film, metal impurities and metal
impurities in the film transfer to the liquid. Since the
washing solution is an acidic solution containing an organic
acid and having pH of 2 to 4, fine particles are charged to
minus as those of the fine particles, and the metal impurities
ions in the liquid becomes minus complex ions due to
complexing effect of the organic acid. As the results, surface
potentials of the respective fine particles and metal
impurities are each minus which is the same as that of surface
potential of the substrate so that adhesion or re-adhesion
to the substrate can be prevented.

Abstract: A charging apparatus for charging a secondary battery of the
present invention includes a DC/DC converter (30) for outputting a
preselected DC voltage and a preselected DC current limited by a
voltage setting circuit (34) and a current limiting circuit (36),
respectively. A control circuit (38) senses the voltage of a
secondary battery connected to the apparatus and causes the
current limiting circuit (36) to set up a first current lying in a
constant current range until the battery voltage reaches a full
charge voltage. At this instant, the control circuit (38) switches a
charge switching circuit (32) in order to apply the first current to
the battery in the form of pulses. As soon as the battery voltage
reaches the full charge voltage, the control circuit (38) applies a
current lower than the current in the constant current range and
the current in the constant range to the battery alternately in the
form of bilevel pulses. The apparatus is capable of reducing
charging time without increasing loads on switching devices, and
insures the safety of the battery.

Abstract: An interferometric rotation rate sensor is
arranged to overcome effects of the unavoidable generation
of intensity spikes in the modulated optical output. An
electrooptical device (30) is located within the optical
path of the sensor for receiving the optical output signal
from a sensor coil and transforming it prior to
application to a photodetector (32). The electrooptical
device is driven by a periodic electrical signal with a
period equal to the loop transit time of light travelling
through the sensor coil. By synchronizing the periods of
attenuation with the predictable presence of spikes in the
optical output, valid optical signal information is
preserved while gyro electronics are sheltered from the
results of optical intensity spiking.

Abstract: A plasma display device is comprised of a plasma
display panel (10), a circuit board (11, 12) having a driving circuit
for driving the plasma display panel, a main frame (17) for
supporting the circuit board, and a uniform
heat-conducting plate (18) to be fixed to the plasma display
panel. In this structure, although the uniform
heat-conducting plate is fixed to the plasma display
panel by means of, for example, an adhesive, the main
frame can be detached from the uniform heat-conducting
plate when the plasma display panel is replaced. As a
result, various complicated structure such as a radiating
fin and a rib can be formed on the main frame because
consideration of the possibility of discarding the main
frame along with a PDP to be replaced is no longer
necessary. By forming the uniform heat-conducting plate
to be a simple structure so as to reduce its
manufacturing cost, and by forming the main frame to have
a complicated structure to improve its thermal nature and
the mechanical strength, the present invention is able to
realize a plasma display device having improved thermal
characteristics and mechanical strength without largely
increasing the manufacturing cost.

Abstract: A variable displacement compressor that decreases
displacement to reduce compression load without imbalancing the
rotation of the drive shaft when the rotating speed of the
compressor's drive shaft exceeds a predetermined limit value.
The compressor includes a pressurizing passage connecting a
crank chamber to a discharge chamber. A rotated guide (57a)
rotates integrally with the drive shaft (16). The pressurizing
passage is opened and closed by a valve body (58, 62).
Orbiting balls (59), which contact the valve body (58, 62), are
arranged about the axis (L) of the drive shaft (16) and the
rotated guide (57a). The balls (59) follow the rotation of the
rotated guide (57a) and orbit about the axis (L). The orbiting
radius of the balls (59) varies. A spring (60) urges the balls
(59) in a direction decreasing the orbiting radius of the balls
(59). When the rotating speed of the drive shaft exceeds the
limit value, centrifugal force moves the balls (59) against the
force of the spring (60) and increases the orbiting diameter of
the balls (59). This moves the valve body (58, 62) and
increases the size of the pressurizing passage.
