Abstract: A method of manufacturing a driveshaft assembly (15') that is axially collapsible includes the initial step of disposing a first hollow member (23) about a forming mandrel (30) having a cavity (34) formed therein. The cavity (34) includes a first radially inwardly extending portion (34a) having a first radial depth (r 1 ), and a second radially inwardly extending portion (34c) having a second radial depth (r 2 ). The second radially inwardly extending portion (34c) extends axially from the first radially inwardly extending portion (34a). Then, the first hollow member (23) is deformed into conformance with the cavity (34) of the forming mandrel (30). A second hollow member (24) is positioned relative to the deformed first hollow member (23) and deformed into conformance with a deformed portion (23a) of the first hollow member (23). Such deformation may be by mechanical deformation, electromagnetic pulse forming, hydroforming, and the like. The first radially inwardly extending portion (34a) of the cavity (34) forms a first spline in the first hollow member (23), and also forms a spline in the second hollow member (24). The second radially inwardly extending portion (34c) of the cavity (34) forms a second spline in the first hollow member (23). Preferably, the first radial depth (r 1 ) is greater than the second radial depth (r 2 ).

Abstract: An ink-jet recording apparatus (1) has rollers (6,7), an endless conveyor belt (8), a conveyor belt driving mechanism (9,10), an ink-jet head (2), an absorber (21), a scraper (31), a supplier (22,26), and a supply controller (63). The endless conveyor belt spans the rollers. The conveyor belt driving mechanism rotates the rollers so as to move, in a predetermined conveyance direction, a record medium disposed on one surface of the conveyor belt. The ink-jet head has nozzles that eject ink to a record medium. The absorber absorbs cleaning fluid and applies the cleaning fluid to the one surface of the conveyor belt by coming into contact with the one surface of the conveyor belt. The scraper comes into contact with the one surface of the conveyor belt and scrapes the cleaning fluid attached to the one surface of the conveyor belt. The supplier supplies cleaning fluid to the absorber. The supply controller controls a supply of cleaning fluid from the supplier to the absorber, in such a manner that the supply controller, in response to a print command, makes the supplier supply cleaning fluid to the absorber for a first period of time before the conveyor belt driving mechanism rotates the rollers to make the conveyor belt start traveling.

Abstract: An optical system includes multiple cubic crystalline optical elements aligned along a common optical axis and having their crystal lattices oriented with respect to each other to minimize the effects of intrinsic birefringence and produce a system with reduced retardance. The optical system may be a refractive or catadioptric system having a high numerical aperture and using light with a wavelength at or below (248) nanometers. The net retardance of the system is less than the sum of the retardance contributions of the respective optical elements as the elements are oriented such that the intrinsic birefringences of the individual elements cancel each other out. In one embodiment, two [110] cubic crystalline optical elements are clocked with respect to one another and used in conjunction with a [100] cubic crystalline optical element to reduce retardance. Various birefringent elements, wave plates, and combinations thereof provide additional correction for residual retardance and wavefront aberrations. The optical system may be used in a photolithography tool to pattern substrates such as semiconductor substrates and thereby produce semiconductor devices.
