Patent EP-1285760-A2 (EP)
Inventor: KITAHARA TSUYOSHI
IPC: B41J2/045
Filed: 1997-04-10
Abstract: According to the present invention, a method of driving an
ink-jet recording head comprising nozzle openings (6),
pressure generating chambers (2) each communicating with
reservoirs (3) via ink supply ports and having the Helmholtz
resonance frequency with a period Tc, and piezo-electric
vibrators (11) for expanding and contracting the respective
pressure generating chambers, comprises a first step of
expanding the pressure generating chamber; a second step of
continuously expanding the pressure chamber at a volumetric
speed different to that at the first step; and a third step
of contracting the pressure generating chamber (2) in an
expanded state. The method is such that an ink droplet fit
for printing is jetted by generating vibration at the
Helmholtz resonance frequency, whereby the generation of a
satellite or an ink mist resulting from a swollen-back
meniscus is prevented by minimising meniscus vibration. Thus,
meniscus attenuating time is shortened by minimising the
meniscus vibration in order to make a printing operation
performable at a high driving frequency.

Abstract: A printing system is described which has a printer unit (2) with a housing in which a
print head is mounted for movement over a print face defined by the housing and
a base station (1) arranged to receive the printer unit. The base station has an
opening for receiving paper or the like such that the paper is adjacent the print
face. A printing operation can be executed when the printer unit is in the base
station. 
     A print processor can be connected to the printing unit, the print processor storing
information to be printed in a memory unit such that if printing of a sequence of
images is interrupted, it can be re-established from the store. 
     A method of selecting a symbol to be printed is also described, where a plurality
of subsets of symbol types are displayed, a subset being selected based on
display of a particular symbol and wherein subsequently the symbols of the
subset are sequentially displayed such that a particular symbol can be printed.

Abstract: An uninterruptible power supply is provided that is capable of turning off an AC switch made up of thyristors as quickly as possible by using a power converter. A power is supplied from the utility power supply 3 to the load 9 through the AC switch 1 made up of antiparallelly connected thyristors. Under this condition, in the event that the power failure detection means 12 detects a power outage, if the current detection means 11a detects a current of a positive polarity, the reference sinusoidal voltage generation circuit 11 generates the high synchronous sinusoidal voltage Vref2 which is higher, by the voltage difference command value ΔV, than the synchronous sinusoidal voltage Vrefl in phase with the utility power supply. If the current detection means 11a detects a current of a negative polarity, the reference sinusoidal voltage generation circuit 11 generates the low synchronous sinusoidal voltage Vref3 which is lower than the synchronous sinusoidal voltage Vrefl by the voltage difference command value ΔV. As a result, the power converter 5 produces an output voltage that applies to a conducting thyristor a reverse bias voltage that reverse-biases the line 17b on one side of the AC switch 1 with respect to the line 17a on the other side.

Abstract: A virtual private network (VPN) service is provided through a shared
network infrastructure, with customer edge (CE) devices each having a
provider edge (PE) interface having a single layer 3 address in the VPN. An
address resolution request message is transmitted by a first CE device on
plural layer 2 virtual circuits of its PE interface. The address resolution request
message including the layer 3 address allocated to a second CE device of the
VPN. In response to reception of such request message at the second CE
device, an address resolution response message is returned to the first CE

maps the layer 3 address allocated to the second CE device to a virtual LAN
identifier of the layer 2 virtual circuit on which the response message is

Abstract: Voice communication between players using one or more multiplayer
game console is selectively controlled. A player may selectively block voice
communications with another player during a current and any future games. In
addition, an authorized party (e.g., a parent) can selectively preclude voice
communication by a minor child by setting an option that is uploaded to an online
game service service; the minor child is then precluded from voice
communication on any voice console via the online game service. Also, a player
may be temporarily or permanently banned from voice communication during
games played through an online game service in response to complaints made by
other players concerning the player's behavior in voice communication while
playing games, e.g., excessive use of profanity. When a player signs on to the
online game service, data are downloaded to the game console that indicate any
applicable restraints on voice communication.

Abstract: A printing apparatus and a preliminary discharge
control method capable of efficient preliminary
discharge control even in a case where a time interval
to assure normal printing is equal or nearly equal to
the period of one print scanning of an inkjet printhead.
In the method, in an inkjet printhead which performs
printing by discharging ink from plural print elements
while reciprocate-scanned by a carriage, the number of
ink dischargings from each of the plural print elements
is counted during print scanning by reciprocate
scanning. It is determined whether or not the counted
number of ink dischargings from each of the plural
print elements is equal to or greater than a
predetermined number at predetermined intervals. In
accordance with the result of determination, a
printable period is updated, and the updated printable
period is compared with time necessary for the next
print scanning upon completion of one print scanning by
reciprocate scanning. Then in accordance with the
result of comparison, preliminary discharge is
performed from the inkjet printhead.
