Abstract: A medication delivery pen (10) includes a housing having opposing
proximal and distal ends. An actuator (24) is disposed in the proximal end
of the housing for setting and administering a dosage of medication.
The pen also includes a medication-containing cartridge assembly (18)
having a cartridge (46) with a pierceably sealed distal end (46a), an
open proximal end removably attachable to the distal end of the housing,
and a piston (46b) in sliding fluid tight engagement within the
cartridge. A drive mechanism is coupled between the actuator and the
cartridge to exert an axial force on the piston to inject the set
dosage of medication. The actuator triggers the drive mechanism to
administer the injection of medication held in the cartridge. A
processor is coupled to the actuator to determine a value equal to the
dosage set by the actuator. A memory device is coupled to the processor
to store at least the dosage value determined by the processor. A
display (34) is located on the housing and coupled to the processor for
displaying information provided by the processor. In a first state the
actuator engages with the drive mechanism to deliver the medication and
in a second state is disengaged from the drive mechanism. In its second
state, the actuator serves as a user adjustable input for changing and
setting mode parameters of at least one preselected mode of the pen.
Patent EP-1097817-A1 (EP)
Title: Printing apparatus having function of adjusting positional misalignment of dots
Inventor: NUNOKAWA HIROKAZU
IPC: B41J2/51
Filed: 2000-10-31
Abstract: In an ink jet printer, the technique of the present invention
prints a test pattern that includes dots created in a forward pass of
main scan and dots created in a backward pass of the main scan,
which are alternately arranged in a sub-scanning direction. After
creation of dots in the forward pass, the printing process carries out
sub-scan by a feeding amount that is half a nozzle pitch k on a print
head and then creates dots in the backward pass. The dots created in
the forward pass are not overlapped with the dots created in the
backward pass. In the case of appropriate dot creation timings set
for the forward pass and the backward pass of the main scan, the
resulting dot row forms a straight line extending in the sub-scanning
direction. In the case of the deviated dot creation timing, on the
other hand, the resulting dot row is slightly jagged and has significant
unevenness. The test pattern of the present invention enables the
dot creation timing to be readily and accurately adjusted, based on the
linearity of the dot row. In the case of a narrow nozzle pitch that
causes overlapping of dots in the sub-scanning direction, only the
selected nozzles are used to print a test pattern in which the adjoining
dots are not contact with one another. The arrangement of the
present invention effectively prevents a misalignment of dots and
thereby improves the image quality of the resulting printed image.

IPC: C23C10/08
Filed: 2000-06-29
Abstract: A process for forming a diffusion aluminide coating (12) on a
substrate (10), such as a component for a gas turbine engine. The
process generally entails placing the substrate (10) in a suitable coating
chamber, flowing an inert or reducing gas into and through the coating
chamber, and then aluminizing the substrate (10) using an aluminizing
technique with a substantially constant aluminum activity, such as a
vapor phase deposition process. During the aluminizing process, the
amount of unreacted aluminum within the coating chamber is
controlled by altering the flow rate of the gas through the coating
chamber so that a portion of the unreacted aluminum is swept from the
coating chamber by the gas. The amount of unreacted aluminum swept
from the coating chamber is regulated by metering the gas flow rate in
order to control the aluminizing rate and aluminum content of the
resulting aluminide coating (12).

associated with the spill valve arrangement (40) and the second end being
associated with the valve needle (12) such that, in use, operation of the spill
valve arrangement (40) and movement of the valve needle (12) is controlled
