Abstract: A bubblejet print device (100) is disclosed which is integrally formed having arrays (102,103,104,105) of nozzles (110) which form part of a passageway communicating between opposite surfaces of a semiconductor substrate (130). Each nozzle (110) has an integrally formed heater (120) which permits heating of ink (106) within the respective nozzle (110) for the ejection of an ink drop (108) therefrom. The heater (120) can provide a fault tolerant structure through the provision of a main heater (121,441) and a redundant heater (122,443) each of which can be separately energised from a corresponding electronic drive circuit (160,165). Several methods of manufacturing the device (100) using semiconductor fabrication techniques are also disclosed. A bubblejet print head (200) incorporating the device (100) can form part of an image reproducing apparatus (531,533,535,537) and is capable of printing full colour images at 400 dpi and monochrome images up to 1600 dpi. An ink drop size of about 3 picolitres is used for these image intensities. A thermal shunt (140) or diffuser (491) are used to transport heat away from the heater (120) to prevent formation of hot spots thereabout after the ejection of an ink drop (108). Electronic circuitry (310,302-305) is disclosed which is used to couple data to the device (100) to provide full width page printing using a stationary head (200) and a moving paper medium (220). <IMAGE>

Abstract: The digital input (3) is intended for a device for the detection of a digital signal when a particular event occurs in a process. Said digital input (3) can advantageously be used in a distribution network for electrical power, in the case of which the particular event initiates the operation of a switching device. The digital input has two first electrical connections (10, 11) to which direct current is applied from an external voltage source. Two second electrical connections (13, 14) are connected to a transmitter element (12), for example an auxiliary contact of the switching device, which emits the digital signal when the particular event occurs. A circuit which carries the digital signal to an optocoupler (22), which provides DC isolation, is also connected to the two second electrical connections (13, 14). The digital input (4) furthermore has a device (15) for converting the direct current, which is supplied from the exterior, into direct current which is DC-isolated from it. This device is operatively connected on the input side to the two first electrical connections (11, 12) and on the output side to the signal circuit. In contrast to digital inputs according to the prior art, only signal currents are supplied via the two second electrical connections (13, 14). In consequence, only very simple protective measures need be taken against the electrical and electromagnetic interference level on these electrical connections (13, 14). <IMAGE>

Abstract: An electric immersion heating element for a water boiling vessel has associated therewith a single thermal sensor which protects the element against overheating due to its being switched on when dry and also serves to switch off the element when water boils in the vessel. The heating element is of traditional construction with a sheathed wire-wound element proper affixed to a head plate and with a hot-return portion of the element proper affixed to the head plate to enable the element temperature to be sensed on the opposite side of the head plate, but the element sheath and the head plate are formed of stainless steel (or another material having a low thermal conductivity as compared to copper or brass), the fixation of the element hot return portion to the head plate is by means of a spot weld (or another highly localized fixation), an enclosure is provided on the element head in the region thereof whereat the element hot return portion is affixed and is arranged so that water fills the enclosure when the vessel is filled but is expelled therefrom by steam generated by water boiling in the vessel, and the single thermal sensor is arranged to be in close thermal contact with a highly localized area of the head plate corresponding to the location whereat the element hot return portion is affixed thereto on the opposite side thereof.

Abstract: A method of establishing or re-establishing a digital time-division duplex radio communication link between one of a plurality of portable units and one or more base units forming a cordless telephone system. The invention is concerned particularly with the potential interference created by the use of an unsynchronised call-up transmission in the presence of synchronised signals being exchanged by the rest of the system. The method of the invention involves pre-synchronising the call-up transmission with the rest of the system so that switchovers between transmission bursts and reception windows occur at the same time as between the call-up signal and the rest of the system. This is achieved by deriving synchronisation information from a synchronisation signal which may, for example, be an existing signal on the system containing synchronisation information (i.e. an existing call on the system) or may be a beacon signal which, in some systems, is transmitted by the fixed units for the purpose of range indication. The method is particularly applicable to the MUX1/MUX2/MUX3 format of signals used in the CT2 common air interface protocol.

Abstract: A shaped, water-expandable water-sealing article (12) used for sealing an area between a first section (32) of at least partially cured concrete and a second, adjacent section (34) of substantially uncured concrete to form a plurality of water-sealed concrete sections. The clay water sealing article (12) is in the shape of quadrilateral, preferably a trapezoid, and is disposed to bridge an area between the two sections of concrete. Upon hydration of the clay contained within the shaped water sealing article, expansion of the clay creates expansion forces extending from a corner of the article that is surrounded by the uncured concrete, wherein the corner has an included angle greater than 90 DEG , preferably at least 100 DEG . The expansion force developed by the expansion of the shaped water sealing article are absorbed by a substantially increased area of the uncured concrete as compared to expansion forces resulting from a clay-based water seal having a 90 DEG included angle at the corner (s) surrounded by the uncured concrete. <IMAGE>
