Patent EP-0894637-A3 (EP)
Inventor: HIRABAYASHI HIROMITSU
IPC: B41J3/54
Filed: 1998-07-27
Abstract: A multi-head printer (30), and a driver
therefor, in which the multi-head printer has at
least a wide width print mode and a standard width
print mode. At least first and second print heads (A,B)
are mounted for lateral reciprocal movement across a
support surface for a recording medium, with the
first and second print heads being laterally
displaced with respect to each other such that both
the first and second print heads can print a first
lateral print area and such that only the second
print head can print a portion of a second and
larger lateral print area. In the standard width
printing mode, fully or partially overlapped
printing in the first lateral print area can be
effected by both of the first and second print
heads. In the wide width print mode, printing by
only the second print head is effected, and not by
the first print head. An additional wide print mode
may be provided for partially overlapped printing by
the first and second print heads, with the second
print head printing primarily in the second lateral
print area. Based on print head configuration, such
as the type and color capability of print heads
mounted in the first and second print heads,
available print modes are determined, from which one
of the available print modes is selected for
effecting printout by the printer.

Abstract: A perforated fabric for modifying the effective
electrochemical surface area of a cell is described. The size
and pattern of perforations in the fabric determine the effective
electrochemical surface area of the cell. In practice, the
modified cell comprises a layer of perforated fabric placed
between the anode and the cathode along with a suitable
electrolyte absorbent separator material. Electrodes are then
assembled into a cell using typical techniques with a spirally-wound
configuration being preferred. The present perforated
fabric provides for the production of cells with variable
effective electrochemical surface areas while using a single
manufacturing line. A preferred cell chemistry comprises a
fluorinated carbon electrode present in an alkali metal system
with the preferred perforated fabric comprising a Fluorpeel
fabric, which is a woven fiberglass cloth impregnated with PTFE
polymer.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a white pulse source that produces
spectrally shaped white pulses of a constant optical output power over a wide
wavelength range. The white pulse source includes a pump pulse source for
generating pump pulses with a center wavelength λ0 and a waveguided
nonlinear optical medium with a length L. The waveguided nonlinear optical
medium is characterized by two properties: the first property is that
chromatic dispersion D(λ0,z) at the center wavelength of pump pulses in
ps/nm/km is positive at an input end of said waveguided nonlinear optical
medium, where z = 0, and decreases towards an output end. The second
property is that said chromatic dispersion D(λ, z) has a maximum value
D(λp(z), z) at a peak wavelength λp(z) within a range of propagation
distance given by L1 ≦ z ≦ L where 0 ≦ L1 < L, and that said chromatic
dispersion D(λ, z) has two zero-dispersion wavelengths, λ1(z) and λ2(z),
where D(λ 1(z), z) = D(λ2(z), z) = 0 ps/nm/km, within a range of propagation
distance z where D(λp(z), z) shows a positive value.

Abstract: The thermostat of the invention is based on a classic controllable
thermostat in which one of the three classic spacers, specifically the
upper spacer, is provided with a slot or socket into which an ancillary
strip standing as a temperature probe is laterally plugged. Furthermore,
the insulating shaft through which the control knob acts on the moving
control has an intermediate ledge through which it acts on the probe
strip, and therefore upon driving the control knob, both the main
moving strip and the probe strip are acted on. Similarly, contact
between the probe strip and the moving strip, to close the signalling
circuit, is established through the free end of said probe strip and with
the assistance of a screw acting as an electrical contact.

Abstract: When an external force acts on a front side of a cab 10
at the time of a car collision or the like, the front side of the
cab is deformed, so that a passenger space 15 is reduced from a
value  c  to a value  d . On the other hand, a power plant 3 advances
because of an inertia force, and an oil pan 2 of the power plant
3 is brought into striking engagement with a suspension cross member
1, and therefore is prevented from further advancing. The value
of the distance  b  between the power plant 3 and a rising portion
16 of a floor panel 14, as well as the value of the distance  a  between
the suspension cross member 1 and the oil pan 2, is suitably
determined, and also deforming properties of deformable members
of the oil pan 2 are suitably determined. By doing so, the reduction
or deformation of the passenger space 15 from the power plant side
is prevented, thereby securing the safety of the passengers.

a surface electrode formed on one surface thereof to which a
negative bias voltage is applied, and a carrier collection electrode
formed on the other surface. The semiconductor layer
provides an electronic injection inhibiting structure on the
surface electrode side thereof, and a hole injection permitting
structure on the carrier collection electrode side. In time of
detecting radiation, electrons, which are majority carriers, are
not injected from the surface electrode side into the semiconductor
layer, while holes, which are minority carriers, are
injected from the carrier collection electrode side. As a
result, sensitivity is improved.

Abstract: The method is based on the
comparison of local vapor concentrations at the inlet
and outlet refrigeration ports and taking action based
on that comparison. Control apparatus
is installed inside a refrigeration
enclosure (10), adjacent to a port (14,15), preferably at the
lowermost port (14). If the enclosure (10) contains multiple
ports (201,202) at similar height, then each port (201,202) has a form of
the control apparatus attached to it. The control
apparatus adjusts a flow of vapor leaving the interior
of the enclosure (10). The control apparatus includes a
duct assembly (17,214,224,300,401,501,601)
and a blower system (26,210,220,403,503,603). The bottom portion
of the duct assembly (17,214,224,300,401,501,601)
is a tunnel enclosure (20,22) through
which a conveyor belt (16,203) passes. Connected to an inside
edge of the tunnel enclosure is a duct (23) that extends
upward from the conveyor belt (16,203).
A blower (26,210,220,403,503,603) for this duct (23)
either sucks vapor away from the conveyor belt (16,203) or blows
vapor from the enclosure interior (12) toward the belt (16,203).
Regardless of the flow direction, a vapor curtain forms
inside the tunnel enclosure and represents a
transitional region from all vapor to all air. Control
of the blower (26,210,220,403,503,603)
for the duct assembly is based on vapor
concentrations in the tunnel enclosures (20,22) adjacent to
each port (14,15,201,202). A microprocessor compares measured
concentration levels and alters the blower motor (27,211,221,404,504,604)
frequency in such a manner as to minimize the
difference in concentration levels at each port (14,15,201,202).
