Patent EP-0762232-A3 (EP)
Inventor: BRACKEN PETER WALLACE
IPC: G03G15/08
Filed: 1996-09-05
Abstract: Doctor blade (1) has a compliant lamination (4) having a
resin film backing layer (4a) and conductive layer (4b)
of abrasive silicon carbide particles and conductive
carbon black in a resin binder. The compliant
lamination is supported on an aluminum bar (2), having a
downwardly extending wall (2b). In use the lamination
is bent under the support bar at the end of the wall, a
direct turn which avoids a wedge configuration where the
lamination contacts the developer roller (7). The
conductive layer remains conductive as it wears during
use and the avoidance of the wedge prevents a build-up
of toner at the nip during use, both of which make
possible long effective useful operation of the doctor
blade.

Abstract: In an X-ray tube (31) with a hydrodynamic slide
bearing, an electron beam is caused to strike the focal
point track area F on its rotary anode, which then
emits X rays. An X-ray emission control device (29)
that sets the conditions for emitting the X rays stores
as data the rises and drops in the temperature at the
electron beam incident point and the other part on the
focal point track surface of the anode. On the basis of
the data, the input permission or inhibition conditions
for the X-ray tube at every moment are calculated and
the resulting conditions are displayed on a display
unit (61). As a result, it is possible to perform a
computing process in advance to determine whether or
not X rays can be emitted under specific conditions
without permitting the rotary anode in the X-ray tube
with a hydrodynamic slide bearing to melt and then
display the results, thereby enabling a safe, efficient
photographing control.

Abstract: A wideband semiconductor electro-absorption
optical modulator including a semiconductor core (5)
shorter in absorption-peak wavelength than a
wavelength of optical signal, and an electrode for
applying an electric signal to absorb the optical
signal by shifting the absorption-peak wavelength to
a long wavelength region when a voltage is applied,
wherein an electric signal input port (I) and an
electric signal output port (II) are disposed so
that the electrode is constructed in the form of a
traveling-wave electrode, and a total thickness (D)
of non-doped layers including the semiconductor core
is reduced to decrease a driving voltage.
Degradation of optical modulation bandwidth and
reflection characteristic of the electric signal
caused by mismatching of characteristic impedance to
an outer circuit are reduced by decreasing an
interaction length of the electric signal and the
optical signal. Further, mismatching of
characteristic impedance is corrected by adjusting a
doping concentration of a p-type or n-type doped
layer (3,6) located above or beneath the
semiconductor core.

Abstract: An apparatus for producing ozone water by accelerated mixing and dissolving of ozone into water due to an enhanced contact efficiency of ozone gas and water with controlled temperature. The apparatus (99) comprises a circulation line (2) for circulating ozone water (60) and employs a jet nozzle (4a) in a conduit (4) which returns the ozone water (60) from the circulation line (2) into a primary container (1). This causes negative pressure about the outlet of the nozzle, thereby the ozone gas (70) is sucked into the water which is jetted. Thus, the ozone gas is rapidly mixed and dissolved into the water. Efficiency of stirring of the ozone water is also enhanced. A secondary container (5a) is provided in the circulation line, which specially facilitates cooling of the ozone water as well as prevention of freezing. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A connector for electrically interconnecting a lead of a device to a terminal spaced at a distance from the lead. The apparatus may include a contact engagable by the lead and further engagable by the spaced terminal. An elastomeric element is provided to bias the contact in an original position. As the contact is engaged by the lead, the elastomeric element may deform to permit movement of the contact. It is contemplated that the elastomeric element may be shaped, relative to the contact, to provide at least one spatial relief region between the elastomeric element and the contact. Further, it is contemplated that the elastomeric element may have one or more cavities formed therein to provide at least one spatial relief region. Finally, it is contemplated that the contact housing may be designed to provide at least one spatial relief region adjacent the elastomeric element. Accordingly, as a force to applied to the contact via a lead or the like, the elastomeric element may become deformed, causing a portion of the deformed elastomeric element to extend at least partially into the at least one spatial relief region. It has been found that by providing even a modest spatial relief region adjacent the elastomeric element, the lifetime of the elastomeric element may be substantially increased. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A digital camera includes a flash memory. When partial image data relating to one image

image data for a same image is written to each memory area. Therefore, if the memory
areas written with partial image of the data image are distant from one another, the image
data can be reproduced or erased by tracing the head address data.
