Patent EP-1651445-A1 (EP)
Inventor: LODWIG DEAN H
IPC: B41J3/50
Filed: 2004-09-30
Abstract: A printer configured to print on substrates that undesirably tend to collect debris before being printed, comprises a print station including a printhead, and a printer body configured to receive a replaceable cartridge that holds a printer consumable (such as a ribbon) and a substrate cleaning structure. The printer body is constructed and arranged so that when a cartridge is received in the body, the cleaning structure is operable to at least assist in removing debris from a substrate. The cleaning structure may comprise a tacky or sticky belt, web or roller. The cleaning structure may be configured to present a sticky surface to a primary cleaning member that engages and cleans the substrates. Alternatively, the cleaning structure may be configured to directly engage and clean the substrates. Preferably, the useful lives of the cleaning structure and the printer consumable are commensurate. Also disclosed is a replaceable cartridge that holds both a printer consumable and a substrate cleaning structure, the cartridge being configured so that when it is received in a printer it is operable to at least assist in removing debris from a substrate. Also disclosed are a method of cleaning an information-receiving surface of a substrate and a method of cleaning a substrate-cleaning member of a substrate printer.

Abstract: If it is detected that moving image data stored in a
buffer increases in size beyond a first size and then
reaches a second size, a portion of the moving image data
from a head thereof stored in the buffer, corresponding to
the first size, is retrieved and output as a moving image
object. If it is detected that the final moving image data
belonging to a chapter is stored in the buffer, the whole
moving image data stored in the buffer is retrieved and
output as a moving image object. Even immediately after the
moving image data corresponding to the first size is
retrieved from the buffer, the moving image object of the
second size for seamless connection between chapters is
acquired.

Abstract: The method relates to a method of modulating quorum sensing in bacteria. Quorum sensing is inhibited using peptide hydrolases. This inhibition is used to prevent biofilm formation or to break down established biofilms and may also be used to downregulate the production of virulence determinants by pathogenic bacteria. The invention also relates to the use of peptide hydrolase inhibitors for the upregulation of quorum sensing in bacteria, resulting in the overproduction of proteins and the use of this system as an expression system.

Filed: 2004-12-01
Abstract: A gas sensor is provided in which a gas detection element (8,9) is mounted on a wiring substrate. A protective cap (3) having gas inlets (31 to 39) formed therein is attached to the wiring substrate. The gas sensor has a structure capable of effectively preventing emanation of gas from the wiring substrate (2) and the protective cap. The sensor effectively prevents a gas from emanating from the wiring substrate (2) and the protective cap (3). The wiring substrate where a plurality of gas detecting elements(8,9) are to be mounted is formed of a ceramic wiring substrate(2) which is excellent in heat resistance. The protective cap (3) having gas inlets or air vents(31 to 39) is formed of a metal which is excellent in heat resistance. The metal protective cap (3) is fitted to the ceramic wiring board (2) instead of using adhesive. In this way a gas sensor (1) is manufactured. Adoption of such a structure enables suppression of the gas emission from the ceramic wiring board(2) and the metal protective cap(3) effectively during the manufacturing step or in use of the gas sensor(1) attached to a car, thereby preventing lowering of the gas detection accuracy or early deterioration of the gas detecting elements(8,9)
