Abstract: An ink jet head is provided with heaters to generate energy to be utilized for discharging ink, and MOS transistors to supply electric power to the heaters for recording by discharging ink. For this ink jet head, the MOS transistors comprise source regions and drain regions formed by doping layers arranged near the surface of a semiconductor substrate, gates formed on the semiconductor substrate through an oxide film and arranged to cross over the source regions and the drain regions, and contact units formed by a doping layer different from that of the source regions, and arranged near the surface within the source regions in order to draw out electrons or holes to be unintentionally generated on the semiconductor substrate. With the structure thus arranged, the potential difference becomes smaller between the source regions and back gate area on the semiconductor substrate, making it possible to prevent heaters from being destroyed by any excessive current that may flow uncontrollably.

Abstract: A semiconductor laser device comprises a semiconductor substrate of a first conductivity type (1) having a surface; a lower cladding layer of the first conductivity type (2), an active layer (3), and a first upper cladding layer of a second conductivity type (4) successively disposed on the surface of the semiconductor substrate of the first conductivity type (1); a first insulating film (5) disposed on the first upper cladding layer of the second conductivity type (4) and having a stripe-shaped opening; a ridge-striped second upper cladding layer of the second conductivity type (10) selectively grown in the stripe-shaped opening of the first insulating film (5); a second insulating film (13) disposed on the side surfaces of the second upper cladding layer of the second conductivity type (10) and the surface of the first insulating film (5); and a region of the active region corresponding to the ridge-striped second upper cladding layer of the second conductivity type (10) serving as a laser resonator having opposite laser resonator facets. In this device, the portions of the active layer (3) adjacent two opposed facets of the laser resonator include two opposed window regions (9) each having a higher band gap energy than the active region generating laser beam. Therefore, since the first upper cladding layer (4) except the portion beneath the ridge can have a certain thickness as intended, optical confinement in the horizontal direction can not be adversely affected. Moreover, since the same astigmatism as that of the conventional semiconductor laser device having no window structure can be obtained in the laser device, the semiconductor laser device capable of being used effectively for collecting lights in employing optical disks and optical fibers can be realized.

Abstract: A mechanism (10) is disclosed for deploying air foils (12, 14) about mutually perpendicular axes (20, 22) in synchronized motion. The mechanism includes a bridge structure (18) which mounts the air foils (12, 14) and uses a hydraulic circuit to link and/or to drive two rack shafts (30) which rotate rotation gears (36) to transition the air foils about one axis while sliding gear racks (92) moving about a boss (94) causes the air foils to translate about the second axis. The air foils can be locked in the deployed position by locking the rotation gears with rotation locks (50). A hydraulic damper (68) damps the movement of the air foils to the deploy'ed position to control the speed of air foil deployment. An orifice rate adjustment screw in the damper allows the speed of deployment to be varied. 
     In a second mechanism (100), air flow initiates deployment of the wings by causing pivoting motion of a T-joint fitting (112). Meshed gear teeth between the wing (122) and the elevation plate (108) also causes the elevation plate to pivot. The axis of pivotal motion of the elevation plate (108) and the T-joint fitting (112) are offset so that the gear teeth on the elevation plate (108) causes the wing to move from the folded position to the elevated position. A pair of wings are deployed simultaneously by use of a cross shaft (134) that interconnects the elevation plates (108) of each wing deployment apparatus. A hydraulic damper (146) can be operated by the cross shaft (134) to allow control of the rate of deployment of the wings.

Abstract: A method and system for providing an executable module having an address space for storing program data that is to reside in a read-only storage medium and an address space for storing program data that is to reside in a random access memory is herein described. The executable module represents Java classes that are structured for dynamic class loading. A static class loader is used to modify the class structure to accommodate static loading. The static class loader also identifies methods that contain unresolved symbolic references and data that varies during the execution of the module. These methods and data are identified in order to place them in the address space that resides in the random access memory. The static loader is beneficial in a distributed computing environment having a client computer that has little or no secondary storage thereby requiring applications to run entirely in random access memory. By lutilizing a read-only memory to store statically loadable classes, the random access memory is left available for other uses.

Abstract: A client computer system and associated method in a computer network over which is provided programs with methods in architecture neutral code. The client computer is capable of executing the programs with reduced run-time memory space requirements when the methods are in architecture specific code generated from the architecture neutral code of the methods. Specifically, a network communications interface receives the methods in architecture neutral code. A network communications manager loads uncompressed in available space in the run-time memory the architecture neutral code of the methods when received. A code generator then generates in the run-time memory uncompressed architecture specific code · of the methods from the loaded architecture neutral code of the methods. An execution controller controls execution of the programs so that the methods are invoked and not invoked at different times. A code compressor compresses in the run-time memory the uncompressed architecture specific code of compressible ones of the methods that are not invoked so that space is made available in the run-time memory. The code compressor also decompresses in available space in the run-time memory the compressed architecture specific code of decompressible ones of the methods so that the decompressible ones of the methods may be invoked.
