Abstract: A closure device for use with a container (11) having an open neck finish, including an inner cap (21) having a skirt (27) terminating in an open end which engages the outside diameter (D1) of the finish. The inner cap (21) is sized to initially engage the finish. The skirt (27) has circumferentially spaced slits (33) extending, which may function as lyophilization ports, which permit the inner cap (21) to expand upon an axial closing force and engage the bottom of the finish. A liner (19) is positioned in the inner cap (21) proximate the closed end and is compressed against the finish when the cap is moved to alignment with the bottom of the finish. An outer cap (17) is locked on to the inner cap (21) in pre-assembly which then encloses the inner cap (21) after complete assembly to seal and compress the liner (19) between the finish (43) and the inside face of the inner cap (21). In a preferred embodiment, an inwardly facing ridge (35) is located on the inside of the inner cap (21) to engage the liner (19) by a distance sufficient to permit the liner (19) to seal to the finish (43) over the maximum variation of dimensions for the liner (19) and for the crown on the finish (43).

Abstract: In a solid state image sensor in which all of a photoelectric conversion section, a transfer gate section and a charge transfer section are formed in the same N-type region, a P-type region for controlling a channel potential of the transfer gate section is formed in self-alignment with the storage gate electrode and the gate electrode of the charge transfer section. With this arrangement, since there is formed no potential well other than the potential well inherent in the transfer gate section, the movement of the electric charge is smoothly carried out, and therefore, the generation of the afterimage is effectively prevented.

In a second aspect of the invention, the plunger (15) is further formed with an upper main lead groove (46) and a positional relationship is established such that in the rotational position of the plunger (15) at engine starting the main port (41) can be closed by a portion of the upper end (15A) of the plunger (15) not formed with the upper main lead groove (46) and the sub-port (42) can be closed by a portion of the upper end (5A) of the plunger (15) not formed with the upper sub-lead groove (47). These configurations enable both utilization of preflow effect and control of the start and cutoff of fuel injection. In a third aspect of the invention, the fuel injection pump is used in combination with a throttling type fuel injection nozzle provided in an auxiliary combustion chamber of a divided-chamber combustion system diesel engine in order to control fuel injection cutoff and reduce maximum fuel injection rate during low-speed, high-load operation thereby reducing generation of black smoke and particulate. During high-load operation the main port (41) does not communicate with the lower main lead groove (44) even when the sub-port (42) communicates with the lower sub-lead groove (48) and during low-load operation the sub-port (42) does not communicate with the lower sub-lead groove (48) even when the main port (41) communicates with the lower main lead groove (44).

Abstract: According to the present invention, when image data are subjected to a quantization processing by an error diffusion method, the generation of a striped pattern which is a cause for the deterioration of picture quality in the error diffusion method is prevented. In the present invention, an original image is read and image data are generated. The image data obtained by reading the original image are quantized by an error diffusion method, and the quantized image data are output and recorded by a thermal-head printer. 
     Furthermore, according to the present invention, an error between the density of an input image and the density of an output image after subjected to a quantization processing by an error diffusion method is perfectly preserved. In an image processing apparatus for performing a quantization by dispersing an error between input image data and output image data when the input image data are quantized to image data of surrounding picture elements, an error between the input image data and the output image data is operated, the operated error is subjected to a predetermined weighing processing, the error subjected to the weighing processing is dispersed to surrounding picture elements, and a surplus of the error generated at the weighing processing is corrected.
