Patent EP-0704307-A2 (EP)
Inventor: LUND MARK D
IPC: B41J2/175
Filed: 1995-08-18
Abstract: An on-page inkjet printhead spitting system purges the printhead (34, 36) nozzles across a printed page (78, 80), and occasionally in the conventional service station spittoon (70). In addition to the image-forming droplets, extra purging droplets are fired to maintain pen health. To determine when to purge each nozzle, the number of times each nozzle is fired to print the image (80) is counted or estimated, or printhead characteristics are monitored. The purging dots may be located on the page (78), in the spittoon (70), or both. On the page (78), the purging dots may be hidden from view, in the image background (92) or over the image dots (82, 84, 85, 86, 90), or hidden in plain sight adjacent image dots, in speed bars (94, 96), in a watermark type design (98), or in a repeating pattern. Use of this on-page spitting system conserves ink and improves throughput of the printing mechanism (20), without requiring any sacrifice in the print quality appearance to the naked eye.

Abstract: An apparatus which can correctly measure and observe optical information obtained from an object by removing a boundary diffraction wave generated from an edge of a pupil of an image pickup lens or an objective lens is provided. 
     An image pickup lens forms a spatial image of an object on a position provided with a microlens array. A plurality of microlenses are arranged in this microlens array, for pixel-separating the spatial image. Light components from the microlenses pass through corresponding microapertures respectively, to be incident upon corresponding photoreceptors respectively for forming images. The microlenses project images of a diaphragm (pupil) of the image pickup lens on the corresponding microapertures respectively. The diameters of the respective microapertures are set to be smaller than the images of the diaphragm of the image pickup lens, so that a boundary diffraction wave which is generated from an edge of the diaphragm of the image pickup lens is blocked by a microaperture array plate and prevented from propagation to the photoreceptors.

Abstract: Contamination on semiconductor wafers is eliminated to perform
a drying step quickly, thereby improving productivity. 
     There is provided a method of performing vapor phase etching
on semiconductor wafers. The method comprises the steps of etching
the semiconductor wafers by introducing a reactive gas into the
reaction chamber, restoring the pressure in the reaction chamber to
the atmospheric pressure by introducing an inert gas into the reaction
chamber, cleaning the semiconductor wafers, drying the semiconductor
wafers, and introducing an alcoholic gas into the reaction
chamber. The inner wall of the reaction chamber is constantly
maintained at a predetermined temperature in the range from 50 °C
to 80 °C. Alcohol having a boiling point 10 °C or more lower than
the predetermined temperature is chosen. 
     The use of an inert gas prevents the occurrence of a water
mark during a spin drying process. Further, the alcoholic gas
selectively acts only on water droplets on the inner wall surface
of the chamber to prevent contamination due to organic substances
and to allow the time required for drying to be shortened by a
factor of about ten.
