Patent EP-1264612-A1 (EP)
Inventor: THANAVALA YASMIN
IPC: A61K35/76
Filed: 2002-06-03
Abstract: A method for nasal application of a medicinal substance by applying the
substance through the nose in a maximum amount that is insufficient to stimulate an
excretory response that would clear a significant portion of the substance from nasal
and sinus passages. Within a time period of less than one hour, the application of the
substance through the nose in an amount that is insufficient to stimulate an excretory
response that would clear a significant portion of the substance from nasal and sinus
passages is repeated. The repeated application, at a minimum, is done a sufficient
number of times to provide an effective total dose of the substance. The repeated
application, in any case, is done at least once.

Abstract: The present invention provides an ink-jet printing
head, and an ink-jet printing apparatus and method which
enable not only larger-diameter nozzles (21) but also
smaller-diameter nozzles (22, 22A, 22B, 22C) to be
sufficiently recovered. In an ink-jet printing head (10)
according to the present invention, the number of
smaller-diameternozzles (22, 22A, 22B, 22C) is larger than
that of larger-diameter nozzles (21). Further, a
plurality of ink channels include first ink channels (7a)
in communication with the larger-diameter nozzles (21) and
second ink channels (7b) in communication with the
smaller-diameter nozzles (22, 22A, 22B, 22C). The first
ink channels (7a) and the second ink channels (7b) are mixed
and arranged along an ink supply port (3) so that a group
of smaller-diameter nozzles composed of a plurality of the
smaller-diameter nozzles (22, 22A, 22B, 22C) is arranged
between the lager-diameter nozzles (21).

Abstract: The present invention aims at usage of a noncontact sensor to position preforms so that angular position of each preform can be adjusted finely to take a precisely correct position before stretched and blow molded, without incurring the problem of dusting. 
     A method of blow molding bottles includes the step of preliminary positioning the preforms between the heating step and the blowing step within a blowing mold, such that the noncontact sensor detects profiled detective portions (7) of each preform so that these portions of a given shape and disposed at different peripheral points are positioned relative to the mold by rotating each preform. The method further includes the step of finally positioning the preforms such that the blowing mold is closed to tightly surround each preform so as to engage the profiled detective portions with inner and profiled face portions formed in the mold, so that each preform is fixed in the mold in such a state that angular positions (9) of the profiled detective portions are precisely regulated and adjusted relative to said mold.

Abstract: Dot recording areas Rr1, Rr2, Rr3 in which dots are to be formed,
and blank areas Rb1, Rb2 in which dots are not formed exist on the
printing paper. When the recording of dots in dot recording area Rr2 is
finished on the fourth pass, a positioning sub-scan feed of feed amount
SSP1 is performed. In accordance with this positioning sub-scan feed
SSP1, the print head is relatively sent to a relative position, where nozzle
#1 is positioned above the 32nd line, which is the main scan line at the
upper end of the third dot recording area. By carrying out a positioning
sub-scan feed such as this, it is possible to shorten the time required for
printing compared to when an inter-band sub-scan of a feed amount SSb1
of six dots is also executed in blank area Rb2 .

Abstract: A photographic film developing apparatus maintains a
photographic film, a developer solution and a second
processing solution at a specific temperature while
performing film development operation by directly applying
the individual solutions to an emulsion side of the
photographic film. After the developer solution and the
second processing solution have been applied from
respective processing solution application heads to the
emulsion side of the photographic film, the quantity of
each solution on the emulsion side is adjusted to form a
layer of a specified thickness. While transfer belts
advance each successive portion of the photographic film up
to a processing solution wipe-out device, heaters provided
close to the transfer belts heat the individual solutions
applied to the photographic film through the transfer belts
to maintain the solutions at the specific temperature.
