Abstract: A low-height vibrating gyroscope (1) in which vibrations of the vibrator (2) are not restricted includes a vibrator (2) having a first piezoelectric substrate (3) and a second piezoelectric substrate (4). Two divided electrodes (6) are formed on the main surface of the first piezoelectric substrate (3), while a common electrode (7) is formed on the main surface of the second piezoelectric substrate (4). The vibrator (2) is supported by two wire rods (8) serving as a support member. The wire rods (8), being formed of metal, are provided with "U"-shaped bent portions projecting in directions parallel to the main surface of the second piezoelectric substrate (4). The bent portions are soldered to the vicinity of the node on the common electrode (7) of the vibrator (2). Both ends of each of the wire rods (8) are soldered to the top surface of a frame (17), and accordingly, the vibrator (2) can be supported in a hollow in the frame (17). With this arrangement, the wire rods (8) can be deformed in response to vibrations of the vibrator (2), which would otherwise restrict the vibrations. Moreover, since the wire rods (8) are not bent in a direction along the height of the vibrator (2), the height of the overall gyroscope (1) can be decreased.

Abstract: A membrane filtration module is disclosed for use in fluid processing
systems in which all active connections between the module and the fluid
processing system are located only on one end of the module. A central flow
conduit within the module directs all of the flow of liquid from one of the

Abstract: A process is provided for forming a barrier layer over one or more extending
sections of a flexible circuit and one or more bond pads of a print cartridge printhead
using an encapsulant material and subsequently inspecting the print cartridge to
determine if the encapsulant material has been properly placed on the print
cartridge. The process involves providing an inspection mark on an orifice plate of
the printhead before the barrier layer is formed. After the barrier layer has been
formed, an inspection is made to determine if the barrier layer extends beyond the
inspection mark and contacts a second portion of the print cartridge. If it does, then
the print cartridge is unacceptable. If not, then the print cartridge is acceptable.
Alternatively, the location of the barrier layer may be considered unacceptable if it
contacts any portion of the inspection mark even though it may not contact the
second portion of the print cartridge.

Abstract: In order to reduce the total number of distance
calculations required for clustering, a multidimensional
search tree is formed so that each node other than the
root node corresponds to a subspace of a space to which
pattern vectors to be clustered belong (101(Fig. 2)).
The nodes of the tree is traversed sequentially to
execute the following processing for each node (200(Fig.
2)). It is judged, for each prototype of a candidate
set of prototypes, whether the prototype is unlikely to
be nearest the pattern vector belonging to the subspace
(306(Fig. 4)). A prototype unlikely to be nearest, if
found, is eliminated from the candidate set, so that the
prototypes remaining in the candidate set is used later
on, when a nearest prototype to each of the pattern
vectors within the subspace is to be found (307(Fig. 4)).
