Abstract: This invention relates to an ink jet recording apparatus and a recording method for recording images of high density with the amount of ink placed per unit area on a recording medium being kept constant even if the resolvability when recording is changed. When the amount of ink of an ink droplet discharged from a recording head is constant (25 pl), the average number of recorded dots conforming to the resolvability is found on the basis thereof, and the number of recordable dots is found from this average number of dots. The difference between this number of actually recorded dots and the average number of recorded dots is adjusted by reducing the value of recording data in advance.

Abstract: A method and system which allows a remote monitoring and diagnostic computer or system to communicate using different communication protocols which are stored within a data base. After a communication is received, it is analyzed to determine if there is a protocol identifier. If the protocol identifier exists, a data base is searched to determine the format of the header of the communication. Once the format of the header is determined, the header of the received communication is read to determine the information contained therein. This information is utilized to determine the actual format of the data which follows. If the protocol identifier does not exist, the received communication is examined to determine if it is in a format which matches one of a plurality of previously defined format. Critical fields are defined which must have certain values and if the received communication matches these critical values, the record in a communication protocol data base matching the critical values will be utilized in order to determine the protocol of the data which has been received in the communication. The machine to which the remote monitoring and diagnostic system is connected is a business office device such as a copier, printer, or facsimile machine, a digital camera, or another type of device.

Abstract: A process for monoalkylating diphenylamine using a clay catalyst is disclosed which results in a reaction product having substantial amounts of desirable monoalkylated diphenylamine and minimal amounts of less desirable disubstituted diphenylamine and unsubstituted diphenylamine. The disclosed process uses clay catalysts which favor monoalkylation over dialkylation and specific conditions such as reaction temperature, mole ratios of alkylating olefin to diphenylamine, reaction times, and catalyst amounts. Preferred olefins are diisobutylene and linear alpha olefins having from 6 or 8 to 18 carbon atoms. When more than 1 wt. % residual unreacted diphenylamine is present it may be converted to alkylated diphenylamine by reacting with styrene, alpha-methylstyrene or isobutylene.
