Abstract: Methods of adhering polymeric materials to a substrate, either directly or through linker molecules, are disclosed. Structures, for example microstructures, including microwells and arrays of microwells, may be readily formed using the methods. In some embodiments, microstructures formed completely from polymeric materials are provided, making it possible to tailor the chemical and physical properties of the microstructures. For example, microwells having a bottom comprising a polar polymeric material and well sides/top comprising a non-polar polymeric material are provided. Biochemical reagents may be easily delivered to such "smart wells" because the intrinsic attraction of the well bottom for the reagents and the intrinsic repulsion between the well sides/top combine to direct the reagents to the wells.

Abstract: An ink cartridge 10 of the invention has a sensor 17 to detect the presence or the absence of ink. A control device 22 of a printer 20 transmits a detect ion command and a specif ied detection condition to the ink cartridge 10 by radio communication. In response to input of the detection command into the ink cartridge 10, a sensor controller 19 actuates and vibrates the sensor 17 under the specified detection condition. The sensor 17 is attached to a resonance chamber 18, which is disposed in an ink chamber 16. The frequency of the vibration of the sensor 17 is thus regulated by a resonance frequency of the resonance chamber 18. The resonance frequency is varied by the presence or the absence of ink in the resonance chamber 18. Detection of the resonance frequency accordingly specifies the presence or the absence of ink in the resonance chamber 18 and thereby the remaining quantity of ink in the ink cartridge 10. The control device 22 of the printer 20 receives the result of the detection together with the detection condition from the ink cartridge 10, and checks whether or not the detection has been carried out under the specified detection condition, in order to verify the validity of the detection result. This technique of the invention is generally applicable to a cartridge that holds a recording material used for printing therein, for example, an ink or a toner, and detects the state of the recording material. The arrangement flexibly handles the change in detection condition and ensures the sufficiently high reliability of the detection.

Abstract: A handheld inkjet printer is disclosed. The printer has a housing, a printhead fixedly mounted in the housing, and a capping device mounted external to the housing. The capping device has an arm, a capping leg extending transversely from the arm and an elastomeric pad affixed to the capping leg and in capping engagement with the printhead. The arm has a resilient portion deformable towards the housing upon receipt of a force. The housing defines a fulcrum with the arm and the leg being positioned on opposite sides of the fulcrum. Deformation of the arm towards the housing causes displacement of the capping leg, which in turn causes the elastomeric pad to move out of capping engagement with the printhead.

Abstract: An x-ray scanning imaging apparatus with a rotatably fixed generally O-shaped gantry ring, which is connected on one end of the ring to support structure, such as a mobile cart, ceiling, floor, wall, or patient table, in a cantilevered fashion. The circular gantry housing remains rotatably fixed and carries an x-ray image-scanning device that can be rotated inside the gantry around the object being imaged either continuously or in a step-wise fashion. The ring can be connected rigidly to the support, or can be connected to the support via a ring positioning unit that is able to translate or tilt the gantry relative to the support on one or more axes. Multiple other embodiments exist in which the gantry housing is connected on one end only to the floor, wall, or ceiling.

Abstract: A resettable switching device, e.g. a relay, comprises a fixed contact ( 18 ) and a movable contact ( 28 ). A solenoid ( 12 ) is fixed relative to the fixed contact and a ferromagnetic plunger ( 20 ) carries the movable contact. A spring ( 24 ) biases the plunger away from the fixed contact so the device is normally open. When the device is set a further ferromagnetic element, e.g. a plunger ( 22 ), holds the first plunger ( 20 ) in a closed-contact position by magnetic attraction against the action of the spring ( 24 ). When a predetermined current condition exists in the solenoid the magnetic attraction between the element and plunger is reduced below the level necessary to hold the plunger so that the movable contact disengages the fixed contact.
