Title: Detection of the residual amount of ink in an inkjet cartridge with a piezoelectric vibration sensor
Inventor: TAKAHASHI TOMOAKI
IPC: B41J2/175
Filed: 2005-04-19
Abstract: A liquid sensor 60, mounted to a liquid container 70 (e.g. ink cartridge) with an outlet port 71, comprises a piezoelectric element formed on a vibration plate 42, a vibration cavity 43 for receiving the liquid (e.g. ink) and a flow path forming portion 50 which includes an ink supply path 53a,53 and an ink discharge portion 54a,54. All the ink which is consumed flows from a main reservoir chamber 75 to the outlet port 71 via the ink supply path 53a,53, the cavity 43 and the ink discharge port 54a,54. The liquid sensor 60 detects a difference in acoustic impedance if there is no ink in the cavity 43, which may be used to notify a user that the end of the ink is approaching. Even if an air bubble enters the cavity 43 it is pushed out by the flow of ink, thus preventing an erroneous reading due to air bubbles in the cavity.

Title: Mud displacement apparatus to reduce stand-off effects in a downhole tool
Inventor: CLARK BRIAN
IPC: G01V3/00
Filed: 2005-09-15
Abstract: An apparatus and method for reducing the stand off effects of a downhole tool equipped with sensors. The tool comprises an energy source, or transmitter, and a receiver with a moveable section between the transmitter and receiver to fill the gap between the tool and the formation. When the movable section is in its retracted position the transmitter will produce two waves 24, 25 that reach the receiver though two routes. Wave 24 travels though the formation 23 and wave 25 travels though the mud layer 22 between the tool face 26 and the formation 23, where both waves are detected by the receiver the measurements obtained can be influenced by wave 25. When the movable section is in its deployed position, filling the gap between the tool face 26 and the formation 23, wave 25 is blocked and only wave 24 is measured giving a more accurate description of the formation 23 properties.
