Abstract: An electric field measuring apparatus can guide, with a predetermined optical path length, pulse light with a short pulse width output from a laser light source to an object to be measured or an electric field sensor without expansion of the pulse width caused by wavelength dispersion, thereby enabling electric field measurement with a high time resolution. A laser luminous flux incident on an input end of an input optical system is divided by a light dividing section into probe light and pumping light. After being transmitted through a light delaying device, the probe light is guided through an articulated light guiding path of reflecting mirror type in which a plurality of tubular light guiding sections, each of which has a light guiding path therewithin made of a medium having no wavelength dispersion with a bending point at which a reflecting mirror is disposed, are rotatably cascaded to each other such that their light guiding paths coincide with each other by way of joint sections, so as to be supplied to a microscope unit. On the other hand, the pumping light is guided through an articulated probe light guiding path of reflecting . mirror type so as to irradiate an object to be measured. Also, a CCD camera is united with the exit end of an articulated reflecting mirror type light guiding path, allowing the positioning of the point irradiated with the pumping light.

Abstract: A printer which performs accurate ink detection even if its operational environment has changed, and a facsimile apparatus using the printer. When printing of one page of print sheet has been completed, printhead is moved to a position opposite to ink detection position sensor and ink detection is performed. If it is determined that ink is exhausted, the printhead is moved in a printhead-moving direction by a slight amount (±ΔL) from a normal detection position, and the ink detection is performed again. Printing is controlled based on the result of the retried detection. Print control may be performed such that upon estimating a residual ink amount (x), a value obtained from the result of ink detection is compared with two threshold values (TH1, TH2), and if TH1 ≤ x (sufficient ink remains) holds, the printing is performed; if TH2 ≤ x ≤ TH1 (residual ink amount is small) holds, alarm processing such as displaying a warning message on LED, turning LED on, and emitting an alarm sound from speaker is performed. If x < TH2 (ink is exhausted) holds, the printing is suppressed.

Abstract: An on-demand fast cycle mold for producing
injection molded products such as polypropylene
blister package bases. The on-demand fast cycle mold
has a heated and cooled hot runner system which
provides a short response time and optimal temperature
control. On-demand injection molding is made possible
by a pulse modulated closed loop mold cooling system,
the cooling design of brazed gate inserts, and an
effective layout of the cooling channels. The
programming of the software for a computer control
system has also been designed to achieve on-demand
injection molding. The design of the closed loop mold
cooling system incorporates an advanced cooling
circuit layout, and provides for easy maintenance and
better quality control of the coolant which
significantly reduces corrosion and scale buildup.
Mold cooling is controlled by sensors installed inside
the mold which are used in feedback control loops.
The brazed gate inserts provide precise mold
temperature control and improved cosmetic appearance
of the molded packages. The use of a needle-valve
injection nozzle results in reduced cycle time and
improved moldability.
