IPC: B41J2/465
Filed: 2003-08-14
Abstract: In a color liquid crystal exposure apparatus
equipped with a liquid crystal shutter comprising a
single array of liquid crystal pixels, a cost reduction
is achieved by reducing the number of control ICs
required to control the liquid crystal pixels in the
liquid crystal shutter. The liquid crystal exposure
apparatus for exposing a photosensitive member, during a
relative movement thereof, comprises: a color light
source for emitting a plurality of colored light beams; a
liquid crystal shutter having a plurality of liquid
crystal pixels arrayed in a direction orthogonal to the
direction of the relative movement; and a driving circuit
for switching the color light source from one color to
another, and for driving the plurality of liquid crystal
pixels, wherein the plurality of liquid crystal pixels
are divided into a plurality of pixel groups of N liquid
crystal pixels each, the N liquid crystal pixels in each
pixel group being arrayed, one displaced from another by
a prescribed distance, in the direction orthogonal to the
direction of the relative movement, and the driving
circuit drives the plurality of liquid crystal pixels in
time-division fashion so that the liquid crystal pixels
having the same displaced position in the plurality of
pixel groups are driven at one time.

IPC: F16B19/08
Filed: 2003-12-15
Abstract: A stamped rivet (10) for the connection of sheets (12, 14) to each other, is disclosed, comprising a shaft (16) with several circumferential ribs (18) moulded one above the other on the shaft (16), a shaft end (20), for pressing through the sheets (12, 14) for connection to each other and a head (26). An adjacent region (30) of the shaft end (20) has no circumferential ribs (18) and has a diameter smaller than the external diameter (D) of the circumferential ribs (18). The stamped rivet (10) is easy to set as the setting device only has to be able to push the stamped rivet (10) through the sheets (12, 14) for connection. Sheet material is then forced by plastic deformation into the circumferential grooves (38) formed between the circumferential ribs (18).

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a filter
that makes it possible to suppress the initial pressure loss
and, also, to reduce the rising rate of the pressure loss that
increases as particulates accumulate; therefore, the pressure
loss at the time when a prescribed amount of particulates have
been collected becomes lower, and the pressure loss from the
viewpoint of the period up to the recovery as a whole also becomes
lower. 
     The present invention provides a filter, which is a column
shaped filter having a honeycomb structure, including a number
of through holes that are placed in parallel with one another
in the length direction with wall portion interposed there between,
wherein the through holes are constituted by two types of through
holes, that is, large-capacity through holes having a relatively
larger cross-sectional area in the cross section perpendicular
to the length direction and small-capacity through holes having
a relatively smaller cross-sectional area in the cross section,
with the numbers of the two types of through holes being
substantially set to the same, the large-capacity through holes
are sealed at one end of the filter, while the small-capacity
through holes are sealed at the other end of the filter, and
supposing that the ratio (a/b) of the total (a) of lengths of
wall portion which is shared by one large-capacity through hole
and the adjacent large-capacity through hole in the cross section
perpendicular to the length direction and the total (b) of lengths
of wall portion which is shared by one large-capacity through
hole and the adjacent small-capacity through hole in the cross
section perpendicular to the length direction is defined as α
and that the ratio (A/B) of the area (A) of the cross section
of the large-capacity through hole and the area (B) of the cross
section of the small-capacity through hole is defined as β, α
and β satisfy the relationship represented by the following

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of very small, unripe phylloclades from Phyllocactus mother plants as cuttings for the production of new plants. Traditionally, at least substantially ripe phyllocaldes typically of a total length of 4 to 5 cm separated from mother plants have been used for such purposes, but according to the invention very small, unripe phylloclades of a total length often well below 2,5 cm can be used. In the past, the use of such phylloclades has been problematic due to these phylloclades being extremely fragile and easily damaged during manual separation from the mother plants. The invention describes the use of a specific, purely chemical separation method in order to provide the small cuttings, but other separation methods might be used provided they do not cause damage to the cuttings.
