Patent EP-1180604-A3 (EP)
Inventor: BARRON RICHARD J
IPC: G01N35/00
Filed: 2001-07-26
Abstract: The manifold (10) can be used to
distribute a fluid to and from a microvalve (19). The manifold includes a first plate (12)
having a groove (28) formed in one face (30) thereof. A second plate (14) is fixed to the first
plate so as to cover the groove to form a fluid passage through the groove. First (18)
and second (36) bores are formed through at least one of the first plate and the second
plate to form an inlet and an outlet, respectively, of the fluid passage. According
to a method of manufacturing, etching the first plate (12) forms the groove (28).
Preferably, an etching process also forms the first and second bores (18,36). Also,
preferably, the first plate (12) is one of a plurality of plates (12,14,50,60,68) formed from a single
sheet of material (74). Preferably the sheet of material (74) is a standard sized sheet with
locating indicia (82) enabling assembly of the manifold with standard pick and place
equipment. Specifically, a method of assembling the manifold includes forming
a plurality of first plates (12) from a single sheet; a plurality of second plates (14) from a
second sheet; applying a braze material (40) to selected portions of one of the first
and second sheets; clamping the sheets together with each of the first plates
aligned with a corresponding one of the second plates; heating the first and
second sheets, and braze material (40) therebetween, to braze each of the first plates
to the corresponding one of the second plates to form a manifold; detaching each
manifold from the first and second sheets; and assembling the manifold to a fluid
circuit. Optionally, a microvalve (19) is attached to each manifold before the
manifold is detached from the first and second sheets.

Abstract: Due to a slit formed in the dead space, a cathode ray tube capable of
preventing incorrect hitting of color electron beams caused by the local
doming phenomenon from occurring and thus preventing displacement of
colors, unevenness in colors, and deterioration of luminance from occurring
is provided. The cathode ray tube comprises a shadow mask 18 having an
effective area 19 where lines of apertures 21 for passing electron beams are
arranged and a dead space 20 formed on both outer sides of the effective area
19. In the dead space 20, a slit 23 extending along the lines of the apertures
21 is formed. Accordingly, the thermal expansion of the dead space 20
caused by a temperature increase can be reduced, and the stress applied to
the aperture line of the effective area 19 adjacent to the dead space 20 can be
suppressed. As a result, the local doming phenomenon can be prevented
from occurring.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a first image bearing
member; a second image bearing member; a positioning mark
forming device configured to form a positioning mark on the
second image bearing member; and a positioning mark detecting
device configured to detect the positioning park formed
on the second image bearing member. A first side visual image
formed on the first image bearing member is transferred
onto the second image bearing member for transferring from
the second image bearing member onto a first side of a recording
medium. A second side visual image formed on the
first image bearing member is transferred from the first
image bearing member onto a second side of the recording
medium, so that the first and second side visual images are
obtained on the first and second sides of the recording medium,
respectively. When forming the first side and second
side images on the first and second sides of the recording
sheet, an image forming operation is controlled according
to detection of the positioning mark with the positioning
mark detecting device such that positions of the first side
and second side visual images on the first and second sides
of the recording medium coincide with each other.

Abstract: An injection molded anti-scatter grid (20) is fabricated from an engineered
thermoplastic to form a focused x-ray absorbent framework (30) defining a
plurality of inter-spaces (44). The engineered thermoplastic has higher yield
strength than conventional anti-scatter grid fabrication materials, which
produces a structurally rigid grid that renders conventional fiber-like interspace
material unnecessary, and further allows the grid to be flexed in one or
more directions to change an effective focal length of the grid. The
engineered thermoplastic is loaded with high density particles in order to be x-ray
absorbent, while still maintaining desired structural properties.

Abstract: Provided are connection methods and a heat treatment
apparatus to be used in the method capable of readily
applying heat treatment to a fusion-spliced portion of a
connection line which is formed by fusion-splicing optical
fibers of different kinds and capable of finishing the heat
treatment with no excess or insufficiency. 
     In the connection methods, after fusion-splicing the
optical fibers of different kinds having different MFDs, the
heat treatment is carried out to match the MFDs. At the same
time, a dummy connection line of dummy optical fibers of
different kinds is prepared, which is the same combination as
the connection line of the optical fibers of different kinds
to which the heat treatment is applied. While measuring
connection loss in the dummy connection line directly or
indirectly, the heat treatment is applied to the dummy
connection line as well as the connection line. When a
measured value of the connection loss in the dummy connection
line lowers below a preset decision value of the time to
finish the heat treatment, the heat treatment is finished. 
     It is possible to readily finish the heat treatment at an
appropriate timing without giving an excessive or
insufficient heat treatment.

Abstract: An adjustable suction ring (100) for immobilizing the eyeball for use with any corneal
surgical procedure that involves immobilizing the eyeball in relation to surgical tools.
The suction ring is adjustable to fit eyeballs of differing diameters. The suction ring
consists of an upper portion (108) and a lower portion (107) joined by a threaded (109,110) connection. By
rotating the lower section and backing out the threads, the distance between the upper
engaging surface and the lower engaging surface is widened, thereby decreasing the
curvature radius of the inferior engaging surface resulting in a proper fit between the
suction ring and a small diameter eyeball. By rotating the lower section oppositely, the
distance between the upper engaging surface and the lower engaging surface is shortened,
thereby effectively increasing the curvature radius of the inferior engaging surface
resulting in a proper fit between the adjustable suction ring and a large diameter eyeball.

data from the host. The host appends a data transfer
request from the printer to a queue, issues a write
command to the printer on the basis of that data
transfer request, and issues a read command to the
printer on the basis of a print data transmission
request or the like from an application. Independent
