Abstract: A multi-layered package is disclosed that employs novel shielding techniques to improve high frequency performance of the package. Shield vias (204) are placed near conductive vias (200) to create a two-wire transmission line with controllable characteristic impedance. Controlled transmission line impedance reduces signal reflection due to line impedance variations and ground bounce due to inductive coupling. Opposite polarity shielding technique is introduced in vertical as well as horizontal directions to reduce capacitive coupling of noise between signals and provide immunity against differential power supply noise. Signal layers disposed half way between floating shield planes provided immunity against non-common mode noise coupling. For integrated circuits with varying types of signals ( e.g . CMOS and TTL and ECL type signals), the package creates electrically isolated zones to drastically reduce noise coupling between the circuits with different signal types.

Abstract: Described are an inkjet recording apparatus and a method of controlling it. The apparatus comprises an inkjet head (10) having for each of one or more nozzles (4), an ink passage in communication with the nozzle, and an electrostatic actuator comprising a pair of capacitor plates of which one plate is formed by or attached to a diaphragm provided in a part of said ink passage, while the other plate is formed by an electrode disposed outside of said ink passage in opposition to the diaphragm with a gap therebetween, and drive means (210, 212, 213; 210) for selectively charging and discharging each actuator such as to displace its diaphragm by an electrostatic force, thereby to eject ink droplets from said one or more nozzles. To avoid an adverse effect of a residual charge remaining on the actuator after it has been discharged, in one embodiment a first voltage is applied to charge an actuator and a second to reset an actuator. The second voltage is of a polarity opposite to that of the first voltage such as to remove the residual charge. In an alternative embodiment the actuator is preset by applying a second voltage of a magnitude equal to or greater than the maximum magnitude of the first voltage to be expected. Both measures ensure a stable actuator operation resulting in a good recording quality.

Abstract: When recycling used products, each product is divided (2) into components, each component being of one, or one main, material. The degree of degradation is assessed (5) for at least one of the materials, and recycling is carried out on the basis of that assessment. Normally, the degree of degradation will depend on the type of the material, so it is normally necessary to determine this after the product has been divided into components. In some cases the product may carry a label or other display which gives information about the age of the product, in which case the degree of degradation may be assessed on the basis of that age. Otherwise, the degree of degradation may be determined on the basis of a physical property of the material. Physical properties may also be used to determine the material of each component.

Abstract: A heat-fixing apparatus for use in an electrophotographic apparatus such as a copying machine. It comprises a substrate roller formed of a material having a heat conductivity of 0.7 kcal/mhk or less, a resistant heat-generating layer provided on the surface of the roller, and a surface coat layer provided on the resistance heat-generating layer. This heat-fixing apparatus has a very high heat efficiency, and can perform heat-fixing of a toner at a low consumption of electric power. In addition, since the heating is carried out rapidly, the rising time is markedly shortened, and it is not necessary to perform pre-heating. In this respect, too, the electric power to be consumed is decreased. Furthermore, since it is a roller-type fixing method, it can effectively cope with high-speed copying. Moreover, because the apparatus has a large strength, the apparatus can be effectively made light in weight.

Abstract: A snap acting control member (10, 10 b ) having high actuating temperatures comprises metal layers metallurgically bonded together with a low expansion (12) and a relatively high expansion layer (14) each having similar moduli of elasticity and the low expansion layer being formed of a precipitation hardenable stainless steel so that after forming into a dished shaped configuration to make the member snap acting the low expansion layer is heat treated to increase the strength. The control member can be used solely to sense temperature or it can be used as an electrical current carrying member. When used in the latter manner, the electrical resistivity of the member can be adjusted by interposing a selected layer (16) between layers (12) and (14) to thereby increase or decrease the resistivity of the member (10 b ) depending on the particular metal chosen for the interlayer. An electrical switch (24) is shown in which a snap acting member is used as a sensor and another electrical switch (48) is shown in which the snap acting member is a current carrying member.

Abstract: In a compressed signal recording and reproducing apparatus, a table-of-contents generator (2) extracts representative frames that can be identified by specified additional information, from among frames of an input compressed television signal, and generates table-of-contents data representing contents of a specified number of the representative frames. A recording signal processor (4) arranges the input compressed television signal, table-of-contents data, and positional information relating to positions for recording the individual representative frames data respectively at specified positions (100, 101, 102) of the recording medium. The apparatus further includes a reproduction signal processor (12) for outputting table-of-contents data recorded at a specified position in the recording medium for exhibiting contents of a plurality of representative frames, from among the reproduction data. By this arrangement, table-of-contents frames are recorded independently, and a table-of-contents frame can be easily reproduced in the reproduction mode. By confirming the relationship of the representative frames exhibited in a table-of-contents frame relating to the position on the recording medium, it becomes possible to easily move to a position where a representative frame selected in the reproduction mode is recorded.
