Abstract: A first sleeve (17) is electrically insulated from an outer flange (30) whose inward facing end faces a flange (21) around a second sleeve (18) and is soldered to the end face of this flange. At least one melt flow channel runs close to the soldered surfaces and has walls in the flange area made completely of metal. Preferred Features: Radial bridging pieces at the end of the first sleeve (17) facing the flange (21) around the second sleeve (18) make electrical connection between the first sleeve and a distribution ring connected to an electrical connection (25). Openings between the bridges enable the walls of the melt flow channel in the outer flange (30) to project through and connect with flow channels in the flange around the second sleeve. An end cap surrounds the free ends (13,16) of the heating bar and first sleeve and connects them electrically. In a variation of this arrangement the melt flow channels may be separate inserts which fit into openings between the bridging pieces and are electrically insulated from the adjacent surfaces. Alternatively, the flange around the second sleeve is integrated with the latter and has one or more melt flow openings parallel to the nozzle axis whose walls extend completely through the flange and are made entirely of metal. Ribs between the flow openings have channels for electrically insulated adjustable screws forming current bridges between the first sleeve and a current distributor.

Abstract: A method for generating a floating bitline test mode
using digitally controllable bitline equalizers is
provided. The method utilizes digitally controlled dummy
timing cycles to detect a leaky bitline during the
floating bitline test mode. A negative pulsed    TEST   
signal is generated to cause the bitline equalizers to go
low and cause the floating bitline state. The
implementation of dummy timing cycles eliminates the need
for additional external control of internal timings
during a bitline test mode. Upon the termination of the
dummy timing cycle, the normal read operation continues
without interruption.

Abstract: An electro-optic sampling apparatus is provided to enable
measurement on potentials of signals on the conductor of the coaxial cable
with high precision and with ease. Herein, an electric input connector
inputs a measured electric signal, which is introduced to a conductive path
such as a microstrip line. An electro-optic material (e.g., Bi 12 SiO 20 ) that
provides electro-optic effect such as Pockel's effect is fixed to a bare portion
of the conductive path and is varied in birefringence ratio in response to
strength of electric field caused by the conductive path through which the
measured electric signal transmits. The conductive path is then
terminated by a terminal device. Now, a laser beam is radiated toward the
electro-optic material, wherein it is varied in polarization in response to
variations of the birefringence ratio. Then, the laser beam is reflected by a
dielectric mirror and is separated into two beams by a polarization beam
splitter. Photodiodes are provided to convert the two beams to electric
signals representing potentials. Thus, the apparatus measures voltage of
the measured electric signal based on the electric signals.

Abstract: In controlling recording executed by an ink jet
recording head for ejecting a recording liquid, the
present invention uses a temperature sensor to detect
the temperature of the recording head, prints print
image data after thinning the data depending on the
detected temperature, and controls drive pulses so as
to provide data that has not been thinned with a
sufficient amount of ejection, thereby precluding ink
from being excessively ejected despite an increase in
the temperature of the ink jet recording head to avoid
insufficient ejection recovery (refilling) in order to
prevent the corresponding image from being disturbed.
