Patent EP-1077134-A1 (EP)
Inventor: KATAKURA TAKAHIRO
IPC: B41J2/045
Filed: 2000-03-03
Abstract: An ink jet printer has a specific unit that is capable of
splitting a dot into a plurality of divisions. The arrangement of
splitting an ejected ink droplet into a plurality of parts to create a
split dot having a plurality of divisions at a plurality of different
positions in one pixel advantageously decreases the quantity of ink
per position. This reduces penetration of ink in the direction of the
depth of printing paper. Under the condition of a fixed quantity of
ink, the split dot has a greater total area than the area of a single
dot and ensure a higher resulting expressed density. This
arrangement ensures multi-tone expression without changing the
total quantity of ink ejected in each pixel.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and to a device for comparing two ground-stationed clocks (1 and 2) that are linked with respective ground stations (2 and 4) via a satellite communications link (6.1 and 6.2). Both stations emit signals (S1 and S2) in coherence with their respective local clocks. Said signals are converted at the satellite (9) in a transponder (7) using the satellite-based local oscillator (8) and are returned to the ground. Each ground station receives the respective own signals (E 1-1 and E 2-2) and those of the counter-station (E 1-2 and E 2-1). For the purpose of measurement, the carrier phase ( phi  1-1,  phi  1-2,  phi  2-1,  phi  2-2) of the received signals is compared with the respective local clock and evaluated. The result of said evaluation are four independent measurements from which the unknown influences by the satellite-based local oscillator (8) and by the two different relative movements of the satellite with respect to the ground stations are eliminated. As a result, the frequency difference (5) of the clocks is determined.

Abstract: A method is provided for fabricating a MEMS structure from a silicon-on insulator (SOI) wafer that has been bonded to a support substrate, such as a glass substrate, in order to form silicon components that can be both precisely and repeatedly formed. The SOI wafer includes a handle wafer, an insulating layer disposed on the handle wafer and a silicon layer disposed on the insulating layer. At least one trench is etched through the silicon layer by reactive ion etching. By utilizing the reactive ion etching, the trenches can be precisely defined, such as to within a tolerance of 0.1 to 0.2 microns of a predetermined width. After bonding the support substrate to the silicon layer, the handle wafer is removed, such as by reactive ion etching. Thereafter, the insulating layer is selectively removed, again typically by reactive ion etching, to form the resulting MEMS structure that has a very precise and repeatable size and shape, such as to within a fraction of a micron. As such, a MEMS structure is also provided according to the present invention in which a plurality of silicon components that vary in size by no more than 0.2 microns are bonded to a support substrate, such as to form an array having a plurality of MEMS elements that have the same or substantially similar performance characteristics.

Abstract: A fully differential circuit is tested by monitoring the currents in two branches when a common mode signal is applied and indicating correct operation if the two currents are correlated. A part of the circuit (T20,T21,S1,S2,S3,S4) is modified during test and currents through transistors (T20,T21) are monitored by means of a current mirror and current subtractor arrangement (T213,T214,T215,T216). A voltage (VRL) is produced that, with correlation of the currents, will be approximately mid way between the power supply rails and when mis-correlation occurs will tend to one of the supply rails. The voltage (VRL) is applied to a first amplifier (T219,T221) and to a second amplifier (T222,T223) having a different threshold value from the first amplifier. The outputs of the amplifiers will have opposite logic values if the voltage (VRL) lies between their threshold voltages and the EXOR gate (9) will give a logic (1) output indicating proper circuit function.
