Abstract: A drive unit for a liquid ejection head in which shrinkage
of a pressure chamber and ejection of the liquid are caused by
the application of a voltage to a piezoelectric body, wherein:
(A) a drive pulse with an electric field exceeding the coercive
electric field of the piezoelectric body is applied to the
piezoelectric body during the liquid ejection operation such as
printing, and (B) a pulse that eliminates polarization remaining
in the piezoelectric body is applied to the piezoelectric body
when no liquid ejection operation is conducted. As a result, a
difference between the elements can be prevented even as time
elapses, and a stable ejection characteristic can be obtained.

Abstract: The locking device (26) for keeping the chuck (10) closed includes an intermediate ring (28) which cooperates with the chuck jaws in order to open and close the chuck and which can be rotated relative to the chuck body (22). When the chuck is in the clamping position, in which the jaws are in contact with each other or a tool, the locking device prevents relative movement in the chuck opening direction (46), but allows relative movement in the chuck closure direction (38). A ratchet (30) attached to the ring engages with notches (34) when the chuck is in the clamping position, the notches having a fixed position relative to the chuck body. The actuator sleeve (12) can be rotated relative to the ring and this rotation can be restricted by a coupling part (32) connected to this sleeve. The ring and actuator sleeve engage with each other in two end positions, in which rotational force is transmitted from the actuator sleeve to the ring. <??>A coaxial actuator sleeve extends around at least part of the chuck body.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a signal shaping
circuit which is capable of shaping a returning light
signal of a modulated signal whose signal level and
signal length are arbitrarily varied such that it can be
demodulated. The shaped signal pattern generation
circuit 15 has, in advance, variation pattern information
with regard to a predetermined variation pattern to be
applied on a returning light signal recorded therein.
The counter 13 inputs a returning light signal, counts a
signal length thereof and sends a count value to the
shaped signal pattern generation circuit 15. An A/D
conversion 14 detects a signal level of the returning
light signal and sends the detected signal level to the
shaped signal pattern generation circuit 15, in the
similar way. The shaped signal pattern generation
circuit 15 refers to the variation pattern information
and calculates an optimum signal pattern corresponding to
a signal length and a signal level of the inputted
returning light signal. The calculated shaped signal
pattern is outputted to a shaped signal generation
circuit 16. Based on the signal pattern, the shaped
signal generation circuit 16 converts the returning light
signal and generates an optimum shaped signal.
