Abstract: The invention relates to a heat exchanger that is particularly suitable for
use in boilers designed for heating and production of sanitary water,
wherein the coil through which the water passes has a drop-shaped cross-section,
and more particularly a cross-section in which the lower part is
semi-circular, or preferably parabola-shaped with a rounded tip, and the
upper part is substantially cusp-shaped, ie. has a cross-section that tapers
towards the top, with slightly concave sides. 
     This solution produces the ideal balance between the amount of heat that
can be transferred across the surface of the pipe which constitutes the coil
and the volume of water that is circulated in it, and therefore improves the
dynamics of the heat and water flows, at the same time aiding the flow of
fumes and gases.

piece and a second piece. The first piece has a skirt, which
is to be engaged with a swash plate, and a cylindrical
portion. The second piece is coupled to the first piece to
cover an opening formed in one end of the cylindrical portion.

second pieces are rotated in the opposite directions while
being simultaneously pressed against the opened ends of the
hollow cylindrical portions. As a result, deformation of the
produced pistons is prevented.

Abstract: To provide a cold-cathode tube lighting circuit which
quickly and smoothly carries out lighting of a cold-cathode
tube and prevents damage of a piezoelectric transformer as
an inverter transformer in the lighting circuit, the
lighting circuit is provided with a protection circuit for
detecting a primary current of the piezoelectric
transformer. The protection circuit stops operation of an
oscillator for driving the piezoelectric transformer when
the primary current is excessive. The protection circuit
may be provided to detect excess of a secondary voltage of
the piezoelectric transformer. When the cold-cathode tube
is used as a backlight for a liquid crystal display driven
by the use of a scanning frequency, a dimmer circuit is
used for producing a dimmer signal with a dimmer frequency
and a controlled duty ratio given by a manual selector for
controlling start and stop of the oscillator according to a
desired brightness of the backlight. The dimmer frequency
is obtained from frequency division of the scanning
frequency. The controlled duty ratio is also modified
corresponding to the divided frequency.

recording method and a program to control the recording
apparatus for recording a color image on a recording medium
by utilizing a recording head on which a plurality of
recording elements are arranged, is provided. The recording
system further comprising, a compensation means to
compensate a position to be recorded by a recording element
which does not execute a recording operation among the
plurality of recording elements, by different color dots from
those of the recording element which does not execute the
recording operation. The compensation means is controlled
such that the number of the compensation dots recorded by
the compensation means is less than the number of dots to be
formed originally by the recording element which does not
execute recording operation and that lightness per a
determined area of an image obtained by the compensation
dots is within a range of ± 20% of that to be obtained by dots
from the recording element which does not execute the
recording operation. The recording system can dissolve
nonuniformity in the recorded image such as white streaks
and the like generated by non-eject dots and can make the
nonuniformity be unrecognized by human eyes. In addition
the recording system by the invention can suppress raising
costs of the recording head and can raise recording rates
much faster.
