Inventor: SCHWENK PETER
IPC: B41J2/175
Filed: 1997-08-19
Abstract: The method involves making a sealed fluid connection between the nozzle plate (101) and an ink tank (20). Ink is fed from the ink tank through the outlet opening (102) of the nozzle plate into the ink reservoir (105) in cycles with alternate operation and stopping of a feed pump (40). The delivery of ink to the reservoir is stopped when a certain switch-off criterion is reached. Ink is returned into the ink tank until a defined vacuum pressure is reached in the reservoir, then the fluid connection is removed.

Abstract: A rudder operating apparatus (10) is for swinging
a rudder (16) of a marine vessel (15) through
approximately one-half of a revolution about a rudder
axis (14) for braking and/or reversing the vessel. The
apparatus comprises a hydraulic initiating actuator
(23), a hydraulic main linear actuator (38) and a
controller (50)responsive to position of the rudder
(16). The initiating actuator (23) cooperates with the
rudder (16) to initiate movement of the rudder through
a switching angle when the rudder is in a straight
position thereof for straight line travel. The main
linear actuator (38) cooperates with the rudder (16)
and is extensible and retractable. The controller (50)
cooperates with thee actuators (23, 38) to actuate the
initiating actuator (23) and the main actuator (38) in
sequence. The initiating actuator (23) is actuated
first to rotate the rudder (16) through the switching
angle when reactive forces from the water are low,
after which the main actuator (38) is actuated to apply
additional force at an increasing mechanical advantage
to generate sufficient torque to increase the rudder
angle up to approximately 90 degrees from the straight
position to provide a reversing force. Both actuators
(23, 38) cooperate with a tiller arm (20) extending in
the horizontal plane from a rudder stock (12) extending
vertically to connect the rudder (12) to one end of the
tiller arm (20).

Abstract: In order to increase security at lifting work with in particular high lifting trucks the inventions suggest the use of a weight indication for the driver so that he know how heavy loads he is handling. This weight indication is obtained by measuring the current to the motor of the hydraulic pump. In order to eliminate the risk that momentary variations result in a faulty measurement preferably a mean value of the current is taken for a certain time or this is added during a fixed time interval. Obtained values are them multiplied with a conversion factor so that the weight in for instance kilograms is obtained and delivered to a suitable presentation device. Obtained values may also be used for alarm with suitable sound or light signals if the load should exceed the maximum allowed values.

Abstract: A magneto-optical memory medium according to the
present invention comprises a reproducing layer, which
has in-plane magnetization at room temperature and
perpendicular magnetization when heated to above a
predetermined temperature by a reproducing light beam; a
recording layer, which is magnetostatically coupled to
the reproducing layer; and an in-plane magnetized layer,
provided adjacent to the recording layer, which has a
Curie temperature at the above-mentioned predetermined
temperature. In this medium, at temperatures below the
predetermined temperature, signals recorded at high
density in the recording layer are masked, and the above-mentioned
magnetostatic coupling is suppressed, by
magnetic masking by the in-plane magnetized layer. At
temperatures above the predetermined temperature,
however, within a domain forming part of the in-plane
magnetized layer, the recording layer and the reproducing
layer are magnetostatically coupled, and a recording bit
of the recording layer is copied and expanded to a
magnetic domain in the reproducing layer. Accordingly,
with this medium, by reproducing from an expanded
magnetic domain of the reproducing layer, even
information from recording bits recorded at high density
can be reproduced with high signal quality.

Abstract: An active matrix light modulator, such as a thresholdless antiferroelectric active matrix
liquid crystal display, comprises an active matrix of control elements 18 disposed at
intersections of data lines 22 and scan lines 20, and an array 10 of pixels which are
selectively addressable by data and scan signals applied to the control elements 18 by
a data driver 12 and a scan driver 14. Such addressing is controlled so that a voltage
is applied to each pixel during a corresponding addressing frame by the application of
data and scan signals to an associated one of the control elements 18 in order to select
the optical level of the pixel for each frame, and bipolar switching is applied to control
the voltage applied to the pixel during successive subframes such that, when one optical
level is selected for the frame, a positive voltage is applied to the pixel during one
subframe of the frame and a negative voltage of equal magnitude but opposite polarity
is applied to the pixel during another subframe of the frame and, when another optical
level is selected for the frame, an intermediate voltage (preferably zero voltage) is
applied to the pixel during both of the subframes of the frame, so as to provide DC
balancing within the frame. The required grey level within each frame is accurately
reproduced and is substantially independent of the previous state of the pixel. The use
of such modulators to reduce the effects of asymmetrical optical performance and
colour-sequential displays are also disclosed.

Abstract: It is intended to provide a frequency discrimination type
torque tester which breaks down a torque acting between outer
and inner races of a bearing into a spiky change component and an
undulated change component to make a more accurate evaluation
of the bearing. According to this torque tester, the output from
a load cell is classified by frequency bands and the quality of the
bearing can be evaluated in a divided manner into a torque chart
recording only undulated changes based on deviation from
roundness or rotational deflection and which are gentle with the
lapse of time and a torque chart recording only spiky changes
based on finishing accuracy of the race surface of the bearing or
are ascribable to a dent or dust included in the bearing and which
are short in terms of time. Since the quality of the bearing can
be evaluated factor by factor from torque charts obtained by
measurement, the analysis of a defect factor is easy and it is
possible to make a more accurate evaluation on the quality of a
bearing in comparison with conventional torque testers of this
type.
