Abstract: A method for manufacturing an ink discharge
port of an ink jet recording head, which is provided
with the ink discharge port for discharging an ink
liquid droplet for adhesion thereof to a recording
medium, a liquid chamber for retaining ink to be
supplied to the discharge port, an ink flow path
communicated with the discharge port and the liquid
chamber, an energy generating element provided for a
part of the ink flow path, and an ink supply port for
supplying ink from outside to the liquid chamber,
comprises the step of processing and forming the wall
face inside the ink discharge surface of the ink
discharge port in a surface condition having
irregularity of 0.3 micrometer or more and 1
micrometer or less as the standard deviation value
for the surface roughness thereof. The method thus
arranged makes it possible to manufacture the ink
discharge port capable of enhancing the recording
speed with increased discharge frequency of ink
liquid droplets, while preventing such drawback that
may bring about the incapability of obtaining
sufficient ink discharge power due to bubble capture
or the like caused by mixture of the air outside. The
method uses a femto-second laser waith phase retarder.

Abstract: A spark-ignition type 4-cycle direct injection engine is provided with a
turbocharger for boosting intake air and an injector for directly injecting fuel to a
combustion chamber within a cylinder, wherein in a λ=1 region (II) and an enriched
region (III) on the high-speed high-load side, fuel is injected during the intake stroke of
the cylinder to attain a state of homogenous combustion. When the engine is in the
high-speed side (specific region) of the enriched region (III), the air-fuel ratio A/F of the
air-fuel mixture in the cylinder is controlled to become A/F≦13, the tumble flow T is
strengthened by closing the TSCVs, and the opening degree of a wastegate valve of the
turbocharger is controlled in order to increase the maximum boost pressure and
compensate the drop in intake efficiency that is caused by closing the TSCVs. Thus,
in the high-speed side of the enriched region (III), a maximum output of the engine is
ensured and the dependability of the exhaust system is secured while the PM in the
exhaust can be decreased.

Abstract: The present invention is related to an apparatus for forming diamond via a chemical vapor deposition process using hot metal filament based on hydrogen and methane gas, and a method thereof. In particular, the present invention provides an apparatus for using the hot filament repeatedly without breakage, in comparison with the conventional apparatus that the filament is limited in one use, and a method thereof. The apparatus includes a base substrate wherein diamond is synthesized by heating filament due to supply of voltage, a pair of electrodes being located above the base substrate, and a plurality of hot filaments being placed over the both electrodes. The top portion of the electrodes has a flat surface that is parallel with the filament, and the side portion has a curved surface. A plurality of filaments is smoothly hanged to both electrodes according to the flat surface and the curved surface without fixing. At the flat surface, the filament does not generate heat, so the breakage of the filament due to carburization is prevented. Furthermore, the end of each filament is weighed with individual weight in order to provide the filament with the tension by only gravitation.  Even though the length of the filament is changed by temperature change during the diamond forming, the filament is not slacked between the electrodes by the tension. Therefore, by using the apparatus and the method of the present invention, the filament can be repeatedly used without breakage.
