Patent EP-0597189-A2 (EP)
Inventor: MASTACHE MARK D
IPC: G11B21/02
Filed: 1993-08-03
Abstract: A single disk (13), rotary actuator (9) disk drive is provided with an armstack comprising two arm structures (9b5) and an actuator motor arm (9e) . Circular openings (9b53) in the mounting ends (9b51) of the arm structures (9b5) and the actuator motor arm (9e) are fitted about and secured to a cylindrical member (9c or 9b1) with the mounting end (9b3) of the actuator motor arm (9e) disposed between the mounting ends (9b51) of the two arm structures (9b5). The cylindrical member (9c or 9b1) is journaled on a spindle (9a) on the base or housing (5a) of the disk drive. In one embodiment of this invention the cylindrical member is a cylindrical tubular member (9c) ball swaged to the mounting ends (9551) of the arm structures (9b5) and the actuator motor arm (9e), and fitted on and adhesively bonded to a common outer bearing race (9b1) of an axial bearing pair (9b) on the spindle (9a). In a second embodiment, representing the presently contemplated best mode for practicing this invention, the cylindrical tubular member is eliminated and the mounting ends of the arm structures and the actuator motor arm are directly adhesively bonded to the common outer bearing race (9b1) of the axial bearing pair (9b). The distal end of the actuator motor arm (9e) mounts a flat coil (9f1) which is part of an axial gap, permanent magnetic, dc rotary actuator motor (9f) called a "voice coil" motor. The rotary actuator (9) axially indexes the armstack with one arm structure (9b5) above the single disk (13) and the other arm structure (9b5) below the single disk (13). A transducer (9d4) on the distal end of each arm structure (9d5) scans the adjacent surface of the disk (13) as the disk (13) rotates.

Abstract: In a combined gas flow control regulator and pressure relief valve, the pressure relief valve includes a pressure relief member comprising a flange (20) and a sleeve (18) which is sealingly engaged with the piston rod (4) of the gas flow control regulator and is slidable relative to the piston rod (4). A spring (24) urges the flange (20) of the pressure relief member into contact with the piston head (3) of the gas flow control regulator thereby closing a gas relief aperture (22) in the piston head (3) capable of connecting a first chamber (8), which is one chamber of the gas flow control regulator, to a second chamber (9) which is a gas relief chamber from which gas can escape to atmosphere. The pressure relief member moves as one with the piston of the gas flow control regulator in normal operation of the gas flow control regulator, and the pressure relief member moves away from the piston head (3) against the action of the spring (24), independently of the motion of the piston, when excess pressure builds up within the regulator body, to allow this excess pressure to be vented to atmosphere through the second chamber (9).

Abstract: A sheet thickness detecting device for detecting the thickness of a recording member precisely irrespective of accuracy of parts is disclosed. A state that a roller 1 of a pair of rollers 1, 2 is positioned at a predetermined angle of rotation, is detected by a flag 11 fixed to the axle of the roller 1 and a photosensor 12 for roller rotation angle detection. A signal from a photosensor 8 for roller pair axes distance detection is processed in accordance with a signal from the photosensor 12 to detect the thickness of a recording member P. In this device, the thickness of the recording member P is detected when the rollers 1, 2 are positioned at the predetermined angle of rotation. Thus, it can be detected accurately without being affected by eccentricities of the rollers 1, 2.

Abstract: A method for operating a thermal ink jet printer having a printhead (19) with ink firing heater resistors (17) responsive to pulses provided to interconnecting pads for the heater resistors by a printhead driver (13) which receives a supply voltage from a power supply (15). The method includes the steps of measuring a pad to pad resistance of the printhead that is representative of the interconnect pad to interconnect pad resistance of each of the ink firing resistors, detecting a target operating energy and a target pulse width for the printhead, computing a target power from the target operating energy and the target pulse width, calculating from the pad to pad resistance and the target power a target power supply voltage that will cause the printhead driver to provide the target power with the target pulse width to the interconnect pads for the heater resistors, setting the power supply to provide a voltage that is approximately equal to the target power supply voltage, measuring the actual voltage provided by the power supply, determining an actual operating power from the measured actual power supply voltage and the measured pad to pad resistance, and selecting an operating pulse width based on the actual operating power and the target energy.

Abstract: A low NOx generating combustor in which a first lean mixture of fuel and air is pre-heated by transferring heat from hot gas (41) discharging from the combustor. The pre-heated first fuel/air mixture is then catalyzed in a catalytic reactor (86) and then combusted so as to produce a hot gas having a temperature in excess of the ignition temperature of the fuel. Second and third lean mixtures of fuel (32) and air are then sequentially introduced into the hot gas, thereby raising their temperatures above the ignition temperature and causing homogeneous combustion of the second and third fuel air mixtures. This homogeneous combustion is enhanced by the presence of the free radicals created during the catalyzation of the first fuel/air mixture. In addition, the catalytic reactor acts as a pilot that imparts stability to the combustion of the lean second and third fuel/air mixtures.
