Patent EP-0720917-A2 (EP)
Inventor: COURTNEY THOMAS P
IPC: B41J2/505
Filed: 1996-01-03
Abstract: The printing of an image by a thermal ink jet printer (10) is controlled by a central processing unit (12) based on an internal temperature sensed by temperature sensor (16) of the printer adjacent the printhead (14) and the density of the printed image determined by density determiner 20 in the central processing unit. Prior to printing, the temperature of the printhead is estimated, and the density of the image is determined from stored print data in memory (18) in the central processing unit. Based on the temperature and density, either a single-pass 100% coverage print mode or a double-pass checkerboard print mode is selected. Also, based on the temperature and density, the printhead droplet ejection rate is set. Such control provides a printed image with high quality and prevents misfiring of the ink jets when temperatures and density are high.

Abstract: An outer layer forming material (M 2 ) is injected into a cavity (17) in a mold (13) and then a core forming material (M 1 ) is injected, whereby the core forming material is allowed to flow into the outer layer forming material existing in the cavity, and both the materials are allowed to flow within the cavity. The cavity has a main area (17 1 ) for forming a bumper main portion (4 1 ), and side areas (17 2 ) for forming bumper sides (4 2 ). A relation, d 1  > d 2  is established between a distance d 1  determining a bumper thickness of a first section (17a) for forming an upper portion (4a) of the bumper main portion and a distance d 2  determining a bumper thickness of a second section (17b) for forming a lower portion (4b) of the bumper main portion. A relation, d 3  > d 1  is established between a distance d 3  determining a bumper thickness of the side areas and the distance d 1 . A film gate (16) opens into the first section. Thus, in the main area and the side areas, the times required for the filling of the outer layer forming material to be completed are substantially equal to each other.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un papier enregistreur amélioré à jet d'encre thermique, comprenant un carbonate de calcium précipité ('CCP') vieilli à la chaleur ou meulé ainsi qu'un liant. Le processus de vieillissement à la chaleur et de meulage produit des particules discrètes de CCP, dont les caractéristiques morphologiques et chimiques de surface améliorent la capacité du CCP à se lier à un jet d'encre, sans toutefois qu'il se lie trop et que sa couleur soit modifiée. Les papiers enregistreurs à jet d'encre fabriqués selon la présente invention, c'est-à-dire avec du CCP et des liants, sont des papiers de meilleure qualité pour usage multipe et se caractérisent par moins de bavure, par une moindre dispersion de l'encre, par une plus faible pénétration ou une moindre transparence au verso, ainsi que par une densité optique améliorée, un temps de séchage plus court et une plus grande solidité à l'eau. Les papiers enregistreurs à jet d'encre selon la présente invention sont comparables aux papiers de qualité marchande courante à base de silicium, mais leur prix de fabrication est nettement moins élevé.

Abstract: The method involves initially electrically charging the entire surface of the printing plate (1). Liquid toner particles (2), individually charged oppositely to the toner or have oppositely aligned dipole or multipole moments, are attracted to the surface. The toner particles are finally fixed or ablated with laser beam, according to the image to be printed. The non-fixed particles are removed or otherwise displaced. The printing plate is completely erased after the printing process has finished, whereby the fixed toner particles are removed. The printing plate is a conductive or dielectric electrically chargeable plate, core or a film of polyester or metal, ceramic or glass rolled on a forme cylinder. The image formed on the plate can be retreated to increase the stability of a layer on its surface.

Abstract: A radar lens  14  is made from a conventional Fresnel lens  10 , but replaces the conventional curved surface  32  with a stepped approximation thereto  22, 24, 26 , preferably of three steps. The thickness of the stepped lens  14 , at each step, is a half-wavelength or a multiple half-wavelength of the radar operating frequency in the medium of the lens  14 . The half-wavelength or multiple half-wavelength separation of the steps  22, 24, 26  causes reflections from the front  16  and rear  18  surfaces to cancel, thereby minimizing the (undesirable) standing wave between the lens  14  and the feed horn or feed horns  46, 48, 50 . This avoids the necessity of reducing the standing wave by presenting the curved or stepped side  18  forward. The planar side  16  of the lens  14  (unlike the stepped side  18 ) doesn't need to be protected from road debris. The lens  14  can therefore be molded as an integral unit of a radome, desirable in the automotive setting. This lens  14  is also thin enough (and, therefore, light enough) that it can be moved side-to-side very rapidly, preferably by a combination of cams  42, 52  and springs  44, 54 . This allows a very fast scan, albeit over a limited field of view. Gimballing  56  the lens  14  and feed horns  46, 48, 50  together provides a slower scan, but gives an unlimited field of regard. Combining the two gives a fast scan and unlimited field of regard, desirable in the missile setting.

Abstract: An improvement or enhancing signal is formed and added to the luminance signal for
increasing the sharpness of luminance signal transitions. An RC differentiator (32) forms a
differential signal having a differential pulse derived from the luminance transition.
The tail end of the differential pulse is terminated to produce an improvement signal
pulse having a tail that does not extend beyond the transition. A transitor (40) discharges
the capacitor of the differentiator at a discharging rate that is faster than the rate of
charging and sooner than would otherwise occur. An inverse of the differential signal
is applied to the base of the transistor and the differential signal is applied to the
emitter. The base-emitter junction voltage of the transistor determines when the
capacitor discharge occurs. The resulting signal is scaled and low-pass filtered before
being added to the luminance signal.

Abstract: A device (30) for controlling or metering fluid flow in either direction through a conduit. The
device (30) comprises an elongated body (31) having two end walls (32,33) forming an internal chamber (34)
therebetween. Disposed within the chamber (34) is a free piston (51) having an axial passageway (52)
extending therethrough. One end wall (32) of the device (30) has a metering orifice (41) and one or more
bypass openings (43). The other end wall (33) also has a metering orifice (42) and one or more bypass
openings (44). Fluid flow through the device (30) urges piston (51) against the end wall (33) in the direction of
fluid flow. In this position, the piston (51) blocks the bypass opening(s) (44) in the end wall (33) in the
direction of fluid flow. Fluid flowing into the device (30) can pass through the bypassing
opening(s) (43) of the opposite end wall (32). Fluid flowing out of the device (30) must pass through the
metering orifice (42) in the end wall (33) in the direction of the fluid flow. Upon a flow reversal, the
piston (51) is urged against the opposite end wall (32). In this position, fluid will flow through the
metering orifice (41) in the end wall (32) of the fluid direction and through the bypass opening(s)(44) in the
opposite end wall (33). The device (30) is adapted for use in a reversible vapor compression air
conditioning system. In this application, the sizes of the two orifices (41,42) are different so that one
can provide proper metering for cooling mode operation and the other can provide proper
metering for heating mode operation.
