Patent EP-0808716-A3 (EP)
Inventor: REEVES RICHARD T
IPC: B41J2/175
Filed: 1997-01-08
Abstract: An ink-jet bottle and valve system (10) delivers ink-jet ink (12)
to an ink-jet printer apparatus (30) having an ink reservoir (32). The system
has five, main components: a bottle (20), a housing (80), a valve (120), a
cover (150), and a vent tube (180). Coupled to the ink reservoir, the housing
has a nozzle (82) which extends into the ink reservoir and defines a channel
(84) through which ink may flow from the bottle to the ink reservoir. The
top surface (98) of the housing has a cutout (100) defining a pair of valve
rotation stops (102, 104). The housing also has a bottom surface (96) which
includes a lower vent (106) and a lower ink passage (108) each opening to the
channel of the nozzle. The valve fits and rotates within the housing. The
internal surface (128) of the valve is threaded (130) to couple the valve to the
threaded neck of the bottle. The bottom surface (126) of the valve has an
upper vent (136) and an upper ink passage (138). Finally, a top surface of
the valve has a projecting tab (142). The tab rests in the cutout of the
housing and cooperates with the valve rotation stops to limit axial rotation of
the valve within the housing between (i) a first position where the tab abuts
one valve rotation stop and in which the upper vent and the upper ink passage
of the valve align with the lower vent and the lower ink passage,
respectively, of the housing, and (ii) a second position where the tab abuts
the other valve rotation stop and in which the upper vent and the upper ink
passage of the valve are out of alignment with the lower vent and the lower
ink passage. The cover engages a flange (86) on the housing and captivates
the valve within the housing. Finally, the vent tube allows air, required to
equalize the pressure in the bottle, to pass directly to the area (182) at the top
of the bottle above the ink and assure even ink flow.

fingers (9), each pivoted to said cylindrical moving means
(11) turnably around a pivotal fulcrum in the radial
direction so that its front end portion abuts on the end
portion (A 1 ) of the tire element (A); and a finger expanding

each said finger (9) by movement in the axial direction so
as to move the front end of each said finger (9) in the
radial direction, thus the end portion (A 1 ) of the tire
element (A) is turned-up by cooperative movement of said bead
lock expanding and contracting means (7,8) and said finger
expanding and contracting means (15,16).

Abstract: A self-reconfiguring name service that distributes workload among the available
servers in a system. A Service Monitor for each host system of a site periodically broadcasts
information about available servers. The broadcast message also indicates the workload of the
host. Each name service (DNS) has an associated process called a Name Binder Modifier that
receives the broadcast messages from the Service Monitors. Periodically, each Name Binder
Modifier reviews the information it has received from various Service Monitors and updates
zones that are used by the DNS to perform load balancing. The Service Monitor and the Name
Binding Modifier have associated configuration files.

Abstract: In a satellite transponder architecture employing digital signal
processing, a power monitor (60) samples the data stream of
carrier frequency samples (54) on board the transponder and
computes a power level for each of the carriers. This provides
accurate and high frequency resolution power measurements
within the communications link. These measurements are useful
for computing critical transponder characteristics such as the
effective isotropic radiated power (EIRP), receiver sensitivity,
uplink sensitivity, operating points and, in a system
using a phased array antenna, the total and component powers
for each beam. The power monitor (60) eliminates problems associated
with external measurement methods, and improves the
overall accuracy and reliability.

Abstract: A system (50) that supplies permanent and human and machine readable evidence
that a approved printer (32) was used to print the indicium affixed to a mail piece (12).
The system will first capture the postal customer's or mailers printer type and
configuration setting information, paper, ink, or toner combination and then use the
foregoing information to enable printing of the Information - Based Indicium, if the active
printer (32) going to print the indicium is found on a stored (local or remote) "Information
- Based Indicia Approved Printer's List". Then the system will add this same printer
information to the USPS defined Information - Based Indicium print field format so as to
provide evidence that an approved printer was used. The foregoing printer information
may be printed in a coded form on the Information - Based Indicium to automate the
sortation of indicia that cannot be read.

Abstract: An adapter arrangement for electrically testing printed circuit boards consists of two
probe adapters with a uniform grid separation of the probes (9, 9') and two translator
foils (6, 6') on whose sides facing the probe adapters there are contact areas (8) with
the pitch of the probe adapter. On the sides facing the printed circuit board (2) the
arrangement of the contact areas (5) and the contact points (4) located thereon is
the same as the grid on the printed circuit board under test. Between the translator
foils a vacuum is generated with the help of rubber seals (13), a through hole (14),
a valve (15) and a suction hose (16). This vacuum creates a rigid package which
permits good contact with the probes on both sides. The inserted support layers (11),
which can be conventional printed circuit boards, prevent the translator foils from
buckling. The various types of extremely complex printed circuit board can be
electrically tested rapidly and cheaply using this arrangement. The arrangement can
be employed on both double-sided and one-sided electrical test installations.

Abstract: A positive displacement pump includes a deformable
hollow member for delivering a subject liquid by a cycle of
contraction and restoration of its volume, a casing which
contains the hollow member, and a pressurizing device for
supplying and evacuating a hydraulic liquid in an annular
space between the casing and the hollow member. The
supplying of hydraulic fluid causes the contraction of the
hollow member, and the evacuating of the hydraulic fluid
causes the restoration (expansion) of the hollow member. A
guide structure contacts and deforms the outer
circumferential portions of the hollow member as the hollow
member continues to expand to determine an initial
contraction position of the hollow member. That is, a
particular direction of contraction of the hollow member is
set by the guide structure. Drive means periodically vary
the circumferential position of the guide means relative to
the hollow member to vary the initial contraction position
of the hollow member. Consequently, stresses due to
contraction and restoration are dispersed in the hollow
member.

Abstract: An improved flat flexible cable connector (1) for
a flat flexible cable (6) includes a housing (4), terminals
(3) and an actuator (5) movable between an initial
engagement position and a final engagement position. The
terminals include integral contact pieces (16) that are
deflected by a pushing piece (8) of the actuator during
movement of the actuator to its final engagement position.
When the actuator is in the final engagement position, the
cable is held in position by way of projections (21) on the
housing which engage and retain corresponding engagement
holes (20) of the cable, and, at the same time, the pushing
piece of the actuator presses conductors of the cable
against contact areas of the contact pieces (16) of the
terminals. Movement of the actuator to its initial
position puts the cable (6) in a releasable position by
moving the actuator away from the contact pieces of the
terminals and from the projections of the housing, thereby
causing the contact pieces to lift the cable and release
the projections from the engagement holes of the cable.
Thus the cable can be pulled out from the cable connector
when the actuator is in this initial position. The cable
is positively held in the final engagement position and
cannot be inadvertently released. The cable is therefore
put in a releasable position by a single action.
