Patent EP-1214911-A1 (EP)
Inventor: BERG TODD ALLEN
IPC: A61B19/00
Filed: 2000-05-12
Abstract: Plugs and methods for plugging septal defects
and blood vessels are provided. Plugs are delivered via
catheter to a septal defect or a location where it is
desired to occlude blood flow in a blood vessel. The
plugs are positioned and expanded at the treatment site.
The expansion of the plugs can be accomplished passively
by using a heat-treated elastic frame or actively by
using a balloon to deform a plastically-deforming frame.
Plugging structures mounted to the frame span the defect
or lumen and prevent blood flow. The plugs described
herein have small profiles, and are more reliable than
preceding intraluminal transcatheter methods.

Abstract: Method of controlling an ink jet printer comprising a printhead (14) movable relative to a
recording medium in a main scanning direction (Y) and having a plurality of nozzles (24)
spaced apart from each other in said main scanning direction and being energized at
controlled timings for expelling ink droplets onto the recording medium, the method
being characterized by the steps of:
     measuring at least one parameter, e. g. a temperature, that is correlated to the
thermal expansion of the printhead (14),   determining, for each of the nozzles (24), a thermally induced positional offset (Δd1
... Δdn) in the main scanning direction on the basis of said parameter, and   compensating the offsets of the individual nozzles by controlling the timings at which
the nozzles are energized.

Abstract: An induction heating device prevents an object to be heated from being displaced and buoyed from a mounting surface due to an mutual action of repulsive forces between the object to be heated and an induction heating coil. The induction heating device includes a source-current detector for detecting a source current input to a high-frequency inverter including the induction heating coil and an inverter circuit, a source-current change detector for measuring a change against time of a magnitude of the source current to detect a displacement and buoying of the object to be heated, such as a cooking pot, and a change examining unit. The controller controls an output of the high-frequency inverter in response to a detection result of the change examining unit. The induction heating device prevents the cooking pot from being displaced and buoyed even if the pot is not touched by a user at startup of heating or during the heating operation, and is inexpensive and safe.

Abstract: A mechanical pencil for using a lead effectively includes a tip pipe (12) for protecting a lead.
The tip pipe is mounted to a front end portion of the mechanical pencil so as to be able to axially
project from or retract into a tip opening of the front end portion of the mechanical pencil. The
tip pipe (12) is preferably made of metal and, at least one slit (12a) (and preferably two slits) axially
extending from the tip, preferably is formed on the tip pipe so as to be mutually approximately in
parallel. In the case of two slits, the two slits are arranged circumferentially at less than
substantially 180E intervals and approximately in parallel with an axial direction and a portion
between these two slits forms an elastic piece. Because the elastic piece of the tip pipe tends to
move inwardly so as to make a surface contact against the lead, the force holding the lead is
increased.

Abstract: A method of detecting aberrations associated with a projection lens utilized in an optical
lithography system. The method includes the steps of forming a mask for transferring a
lithographic pattern onto a substrate, forming a plurality of non-resolvable features disposed on
the mask, where the plurality of non-resolvable features are arranged so as to form a
predetermined pattern on the substrate, exposing the mask using an optical exposure tool so as to
print the mask on the substrate, and analyzing the position of the predetermined pattern formed
on the substrate and the position of the plurality of non-resolvable features disposed on the mask
so as to determine if there is an aberration. If the position of the predetermined pattern formed on
the substrate differs from an expected position, which is determined from the position of the
plurality of non-resolvable features, this shift from the expected position indicates the presence
of an aberration.

Abstract: A liquid-development electrophotographic apparatus
using a liquid toner is disclosed. A nonvolatile, high-viscosity,
high-concentration liquid toner is used as a
liquid developer. A developing section is in contact with
photosensitive drums 11-14, on which an electrostatic latent
image is formed, so that the liquid developer is supplied
onto photosensitive drums 11-14. Toner particles contained
in the liquid developer are caused to adhere to the
photosensitive drums 11-14 according to an electric field
established between the developing section and the
photosensitive drums 11-14 to thereby form toner images. An
intermediate transfer section includes an intermediate
transfer roller 15 and an intermediate transfer belt 16. The
toner images are transferred from the photosensitive drums
11-14 to the intermediate transfer section according to an
electric field established between the intermediate transfer
section and the photosensitive drums 11-14. A transfer-and-fixation
section includes a heater for melting the toner
images transferred onto the intermediate transfer belt 16
through application of heat at a contact portion between the
intermediate transfer belt 16 and a printing medium to
thereby melt-transfer the toner images onto the printing
medium. A development section is disposed at a lower portion
of the apparatus to thereby prevent smudging of the printing
medium and the intermediate transfer section even when the
liquid toner spills.
