Patent EP-1184714-A3 (EP)
Inventor: INOUE SATOSHI
IPC: G02F1/167
Filed: 2001-08-30
Abstract: An electrophoretic display using electrophoretic ink is configured by a
transparent substrate (112), a common electrode (113), pixel electrodes (114), and thin-film
transistors (116). An electrophoretic ink layer, which is arranged between the
common electrode and pixel electrodes, is actualized by a linear arrangement of
microcapsules each of which contains negatively charged white particles (215)
dispersed in a liquid (214) having a specific color. All the pixel electrodes are
simultaneously set to the low electric potential while the common electrode is set to
the high electric potential so that the display content is erased from the entire area of
the display surface at once, and then the pixel electrodes are driven respectively in
response to display data while the common electrode is set to the low electric potential
so that the display content is rewritten with a new one in response to the display data.

Abstract: A command processing method for a radio LAN system composed of a
plurality of terminals and at least one base apparatus is disclosed which prevents users
of the terminals from suffering from confusion or conflict between them with regard
to handling of a command issued from any of the terminals and from
misunderstanding that the system has failed. When a channel changing command or a
like command is issued from a terminal, the base apparatus determines whether or not
the received command is a competitive command whose acceptance may result in the
disturbance of reception of data of any other terminal. If the received command is a
competitive command, then the base apparatus rejects the command and issues a
notification of the rejection to the terminal which has issued the command. When a
particular condition is satisfied such as when the priority of the terminal which has
issued the command is higher than that of any other terminal receiving data, then the
base apparatus may accept the command.

Abstract: According to the invention, a finger-operated switch for activating and
operating an ultrasonic surgical handpiece is provided. The power output of the surgical
handpiece is responsive and proportional to the pressure applied to the finger-operated
switch. The finger-operated switch includes, but not limited to, force sensitive resistors
whose resistance is proportional to the force applied by the finger of the human operator of
the surgical handpiece, force sensitive capacitors whose capacitance is proportional to the
pressure, deflection or compression of the insulation layer between two electrodes or is
proportional to the spacing between the two conductive layers, strain gauges mounted
undemeath or integral to the housing of the surgical handpiece such that the pressure applied
thereto results in an output change in the strain gauges, magnets or ferromagnets encased or
embedded in an elastomer with a sensor inside the surgical handpiece that detects the field
strength of the magnet and monitors changes relative to the force applied to the handpiece
housing, and piezo film or piezo ceramic whose charge or voltage is proportional to the force
applied.

assembly comprising at least one inlet
manifold (3), at least one accept-fraction
manifold (4), and at least one reject-fraction
manifold (5) with associated

treatment agent to the air separator units
(12) from the inlet manifold (3) and
discharge of the accept and reject
fractions formed in the air separator units

(12), so as to permit cutting off the flow
through the manifold (3) at this location
of the cut-off valve thus dividing the

Abstract: A non-magnetic single-component toner 8 of the present invention
has toner mother particles 8a, and external additives 12 comprising: two
hydrophobic silicas 13, 14 of which particle diameters are different from
each other, i.e. a mean primary particle diameter of 7 nm to 12 nm and a
mean primary particle diameter of 40 nm to 50 nm, and a hydrophobic
rutile/anatase type titanium oxide 15 having a spindle shape of which major
axial diameter is in a range from 0.02 nm to 0.10 nm and the ratio of the
major axial diameter to the minor axial diameter is set to be 2 to 8, wherein
the external additives 12 adhere to the toner mother particles 8a. By the
hydrophobic silicas 13, 14 having work function smaller than the work
function of the toner mother particles 8a, the negative charging property is
imparted to the toner mother particles 8a and the fluidity is also insured. On
the other hand, by mixing and using hydrophobic rutile/anatase type titanium
oxide particles 15 having work function larger than or equal to the work
function of the toner mother particles 8a together with the hydrophobic
silicas 13, 14, the non-magnetic single-component toner 8 is prevented from
excessively charged. Therefore, the amount of fog toner on non-image
portions is reduced, the transfer efficiency is further improved, the charging
property is further stabilized, and the production of reverse transfer toner is
further inhibited.
