Abstract: A method of forming a thin junction film including a first thin oxide film (52) showing superconductivity and a second thin oxide film (54) showing insulating properties or possibly semiconductive properties with an improved production efficiency as well as improved film quality and characteristics. Employed are first and second targets (28: 28a, 28b) each having substantially the same chemical composition. The first target is sputtered at a target cathode voltage of minus 100V by the use of voltage derived from an external D.C. voltage source (48: 48a, 48b, 48c), to thereby form a first thin oxide film. Subsequently, the target is changed over to the second target while changing the target cathode voltage to a self-bias voltage of minus 50V without any change of the other film formation conditions. Through this change-over, the sputtering of the first target is successively followed by the sputtering of the second target without any interruption of time, to consequently form the second thin oxide onto the first thin oxide film.

Abstract: An improved ink-jet printhead cap (10) is described. In its preferred embodiment, the cap (10) has a sealing lip (20), which extends peripherally around the generally planar expanse (18) of the cap (10), the lip (20) being suspended by a horizontal, resiliently deflectable, elastomer span (18) that is supported on either end by vertical supports (14,16) that define a channel (13) dimensioned to receive partway therein the annular boss of a cap mount (30) mounted on a sled (28). In cross section, the lip (20) is centered above the channel (13), protrudes upwardly from an upper surface of the horizontal span (18), and tapers inwardly and upwardly substantially to a point, thus providing a conformable, focal impact point for sealingly engaging a printhead (34,36,38). The amount of force required to deflect the lip (20) may be controlled by varying the thickness of the horizontal span (18) and the distance between the vertical supports (14,16).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a chemically bounded ceramic by reaction between one or several pulverulent binding agents and a liquid which reacts with these binding agents, wherein the ceramic product also can include one or several aggregates, which essentially do not take part in the chemical reactions. An amount of pulverulent material consisting of said binding agent and possible aggregate material is blunged in said liquid so that all powder grains are caused to effectively contact the liquid. The obtained slurry or slip is drained so that the main part of surplus reacting liquid is removed. An amount of the mixture of powder and reacting liquid which still exist to some extent in the mixture is applied in a mould cavity, and additional liquid is removed  in   situ  in the mould cavity before the product is caused to harden through reaction between said binding agent and remaining liquid. The invention also relates to a tool for the carrying out of the method, comprising a preferably exchangeable working part (5) consisting of a solid porous material.

Abstract: Color inkjet printers (10) commonly employ a plurality of print cartridges (22), usually either two or four, mounted in the printer carriage (20) to produce a full spectrum of colors. In order to optimize print quality, it is desirable to minimize the distance between a thermal inkjet printhead (26) and the media (90) that is being printed on. In a multiple printhead printer (10) only one printhead (26) can be the closest one to the media (90) due to the various mechanical tolerances of the printer (10). Since black text print quality is more sensitive to printhead-to-media distance than is color graphics quality, the overall print quality of both black text and color graphics is optimized by assuring that the black print cartridge (22) is closest to the media (90). Disclosed is a method for determining the relevant tolerances affecting printhead-to-media distance, analyzing the tolerance values to determine the range of tolerances and the greatest variation between one print cartridge and another, such that a determined percentage of the sampled print cartridges fall within this variation. This value is then used to offset the black print cartridge (22) carriage slot (24) so that the black print cartridge will be closest to the media (90).

Abstract: Encoded blocks (from 110) of video information are selected (120,130,170) for transmission at a plurality of channel rates (C₁, C₂) based on the corresponding location of the portions of the video image represented by the encoded blocks. Each encoded block is designated an image type which determines its transmitted channel rate. The image types are associated with spatial positions of a video image such that encoded blocks within a first area of the video image are designated a first image type and encoded blocks within a second area of the image are designated a second image type. In general, data blocks representing the central portion of the video image are transmitted at a channel rate having less susceptibility to noise or other degradation, thereby ensuring that such portion can be received in fringe areas.
