Abstract: An ink jet head has a first member having a plurality of energy generating elements for generating energy necessary for ejecting ink, a second member having a plurality of grooves separated by land portions, the grooves being for constituting an array of ink channels leading to an array of ink ejecting openings and the land portions being for constituting ink channel walls separating the ink channels, and a pressing member for pressing the first member and the second member to each other thereby joining these members so that the ink channels are formed by cooperation between the first member and said grooves in said second member. The height of said ink channel walls is varied such that it is smaller at both end regions of the array of ink channels than at the central regions of the array of ink channels. Close and tight contact between the first member and the second member is attained in the central region of the ink channel array where the ink channels actually perform ejection of ink, so that ink can be discharged accurately without any crosstalk between adjacent ink channels, thus ensuring high quality of the print.

Abstract: The present invention is related to the technique of lining by inserting in a pipeline such as sewerage, city water and gas pipes, a lining pipe R out of a long, profile beltlike member to be supplied and wound involutely within the pipeline. 
     A jointing mechanism and a guide roller block are arranged around a mounting frame. A lining pipe R is produced while it rotates on its axis in response to rotary drive by the jointing roller block, and an additional lining pipe is formed out of a beltlike member to be supplied anew and ahead of the already formed pipe, which is left behind. 
     A rigid mounting frame enables lining pipes of a certain diameter to be formed. Also, a flexible mounting frame helps cope with a pipeline rectangular in section. In addition, the already formed lining pipe is enlarged in diameter by feeding such a beltlike member as supplied anew at a higher level than the jointing mechanism traveling and sliding the joints of adjoining portions of the already formed beltlike member.

Abstract: Ducts are formed from rigid or semi-rigid insulation boards by forming a plurality of longitudinally extending, spaced apart, parallel kerfs in a first major surface of each of the insulation boards which is adapted to be the interior surface of the duct. When the insulation board is formed into a duct of the preselected dimensions, the shoulders of the kerfs adjoining the interior surface of the duct abut and, preferably, the insulation material in the shoulders of the kerfs is compressed. The flexibility of the insulation boards, in the direction of the widths of the insulation boards, is controlled by increasing the depths and/or the widths of the kerfs and/or decreasing the spacing between the kerfs to make the insulation board more flexible and by decreasing the depths and/or the widths of the kerfs and/or increasing the spacing between the kerfs to make the insulation board less flexible.

Abstract: Methods of verifying use of postage charges in respect of mail items are disclosed. An authentication code is derived from a secret identification of a sender and a part of the destination address of the item. The code is printed on the mail item together with a sender account reference. On receipt of the mail item, the postal authority is able to use the account reference to access the secret identification and thereby determine if the destination address derived corresponds to that printed on the mail to verify the payment for the postage charge. In a modification, each time a postage meter effects a transaction with a remote centre, the remote centre generates and transmits to the meter a transaction number. The meter utilises a unique key to generate an encrypted code based on an item count and the transaction number. The code and a meter identification are printed on the mail. The postal authority reads the meter identification to access the unique key to decrypt the code and then compares the current transaction number with the transaction number derived from the code in order to verify the postage charges used by the sender.

Abstract: An active device, such as a field effect transistor ("FET") or MMIC, converts microwave signals between a microstrip transmission line ("microstrip") and a coplanar wave guide ("CPW"). In microstrip-to-CPW conversion using a simple FET, a gate connection is made to the microstrip signal conductor. A drain connection is made to the center conductor on the CPW. Two FET source terminals are connected respectively to each CPW ground strip. The ground strips are electrically coupled to the microstrip ground plane with a minimum length connection so the inductance common to the FET input and output is minimized. The FET can be reconnected so as to reverse the input and output, providing for conversion of signals from CPW to microstrip. Conversion from microstrip to an intermediate CPW and back to microstrip provides for mounting an intermediate circuit, such as an amplifier or other MMIC, directly on the CPW.
