Title: Testing the degree of microbial load of laundry after washing cycle, comprises washing defined number of living microorganisms along with the laundry, and determining the number of living microorganisms after completing the washing process
Inventor: FAEH DANIEL
IPC: C12M1/24
Filed: 2003-11-20
Abstract: The method comprises washing defined number of living microorganisms along with the laundry, determining the number of living microorganisms after completing washing process, and determining the effectiveness or the quality of the washing process from the difference between the original number of living microorganisms and the number of microorganisms that are alive after washing process. The defined number of microorganisms is brought on a carrier by drops or in the form of powder. Before introducing the carrier into the washing process, the microorganisms are fixed on the carrier using gel. The method comprises washing defined number of living microorganisms along with the laundry, determining the number of living microorganisms after completing the washing process, and determining the effectiveness or the quality of the washing process from the difference between the original number of living microorganisms and the number of microorganisms that are alive after the washing process. The defined number of microorganisms is brought on a carrier by drops or in the form of powder. Before introducing the carrier into the washing process, the microorganisms are fixed on the carrier using a gel and/or the microorganisms are preserved by freeze-drying. The number of microorganisms surviving the washing process is measured by a bioluminescence method, and is determined by using gene probes. A computer program is used for determining the effectiveness or the quality of the washing process. An independent claim is included for a device for testing the degree of microbial load of laundry after a washing cycle.

Abstract: In an ink jet printer with a print head having two nozzle rows arranged at different positions in a main scanning direction, that is, a 0<th> nozzle row and a 1<st> nozzle row, with regard to each color ink, common driving waveforms are used to drive both the 0<th> nozzle row and the 1<st> nozzle row. The driving waveforms are periodically and successively output in a specific cycle where a plurality of driving waveforms are allocated to each pixel. A specific relation between the driving waveforms and a pixel is regulated individually for the respective nozzle rows using two latch signals. For example, in the case of nozzles included in the 0<th> nozzle row, dots are created in a certain pixel with driving signals S1 through S4. In the case of nozzles included in the 1<st> nozzle row, on the other hand, dots are created in a certain pixel with driving signals S3 through S6. Regulating the interval between the two latch signals enables the positions of dots in the main scanning direction formed by the respective nozzle rows to be finely adjusted in the unit of a driving signal. This arrangement effectively prevents a positional misalignment of dots in the main scanning direction. <IMAGE>
