Patent EP-0823330-A3 (EP)
Inventor: IMAI SABURO
IPC: B41J19/78
Filed: 1997-08-06
Abstract: A mechanism for feeding recording paper is simplified in a printer apparatus.
The printer apparatus is provided with a platen 1 disposed along a direction of the
width of recording paper 2 and a thermal head 3 which is pressed against the platen 1
with the recording paper 2 therebetween to carry out the operation for printing
information every one line. A linear type ultrasonic motor 5 is used as means for
feeding the recording paper 2. The ultrasonic motor 5 feeds the recording paper 2
while being synchronised with the printing operation along a paper feeding direction F
from a paper inserting side toward a paper ejecting side of the platen. The ultrasonic
motor 5 includes an ultrasonic wave applying portion 5a and a pressure applying
portion 5b. The ultrasonic wave applying portion 5a is brought into contact with the
recording paper 2 on the paper ejecting side to apply the ultrasonic vibration. The
pressure applying portion 5b presses the recording paper 2 against the ultrasonic wave
applying portion 5a and converts the ultrasonic vibration into frictional force to draw
out the recording paper in the paper feeding direction F.

Abstract: A compressor (1) draws in gaseous refrigerant optionally containing liquid
refrigerant and discharges high-pressure gaseous refrigerant. A condenser (2)
downstream of the compressor (1) condenses the high-pressure gaseous refrigerant. A
throttle mechanism (3) downstream of the condenser (2) reduces the pressure of liquid
refrigerant, optionally containing gaseous refrigerant, leaving the condenser (2). An
evaporator (4) downstream of the throttle mechanism (3) vaporizes the liquid
refrigerant or gas-liquid phase refrigerant leaving the throttle mechanism (3), the
vaporized refrigerant constituting the gaseous refrigerant, optionally containing liquid
refrigerant, which is drawn into the compressor (1). A refrigerating oil (6) is contained
in the compressor (1) or a separate tank, at least part of the refrigerating oil being
exposed to the refrigerant,for performing the function of lubrication or sealing. The
refrigerant is a hydrofluorocarbon based non-azeotropic mixed refrigerant. The
refrigerating oil is lighter than the liquid refrigerant and dissolves only slightly in it.

Abstract: A color-sorting machine for granular materials
(1) optically detects raw material grains (G) falling
along a substantially fixed path (A) and sorts out no-good
grains by color. An optical detection unit (21; 230) to
this end comprises a condenser lens (9; 90), a plurality
of optical filters (10a, 10b; 100a, 100b, 100c), and a
plurality of light-receiving sensors (12A, 13B; 120a, 120b,
120c) corresponding to the filters and can detect a
plurality of wavelengths. The light-receiving sensors (12A,
13B; 120a, 120b, 120c) lie side by side on the same plane,
are formed in a unit body, require no positioning adjustment
among the light-receiving sensors, and make it possible
to reduce the size of the light detection system. A
prism (11; 110) is provided between the condenser lens (9;
90) and the light-receiving sensors. The prism has light
path diffraction surfaces (11a, 11b; 110a, 110b, 110c) of
the same number as the light-receiving sensors, so that
the light-receiving sensors receive light of the same
point of view and can perform color sorting. Detected
light partition plates (15; 150a, 150b) are provided
between adjacent light path diffraction surfaces of the
prism and between the corresponding adjacent light-receiving
sensors to improve the precision of optical detection.

Abstract: A serial-scanning-type image reading apparatus
includes a plurality of light guides. One end of each of
the light guides is connected to a supporting plate
provided for supporting an original thereon at a position
a constant distance apart from a scanner head. The
connecting position of each light guide to the supporting
plate is in a region within a range in which the scanner
head is movable but out of a region in which the original
is transported. Each light guide extends from the
connecting position to an exterior part of the apparatus.
One of the plurality of light guides is selected
depending on the operating status of the apparatus, and
the scanner head is positioned so that light emitted from
a light source is guided through the selected light guide
to the exterior part of the apparatus. Thus, it is
possible to provide a low-cost indicator for indicating
the operating status of the image reading apparatus while
maintaining the scanning element and the scanning region
covered by a cover.

Abstract: A switch mode power converter achieving high efficiency through zero
voltage switching (ZVS) by using an auxiliary switch, a capacitor, an auxiliary
winding and an inductor. The technique can be applied to a boost, buck-boost,
buck, isolated forward or isolated flyback converter. The auxiliary switch is
turned on before the main power switch turns on, and the capacitor provides
voltage to energize the inductor and force current to flow into the auxiliary
winding. The current is transformed by the main winding and discharges the
capacitance across main power switch to zero volts before the main switch
turns on. Hence ZVS is obtained and can greatly reduce the switching loss of
the main power switch.

Abstract: An apparatus for retaining a cartridge in a removable media disk drive during drive operation is disclosed. The apparatus has a protuberance at a distal end of a flexible arm. When a cartridge is pushed into the drive, it engages the protuberance and flexes it along the edge of the cartridge. The protuberance flexes back when it engages a cut-out in the side of the cartridge. An opening in a side wall of the disk drive chassis allows the flexible arm to flex out when the cartridge engages it. The flexible arm is attached to a sliding lever. As the cartridge is inserted further into the drive, the flexible arm moves past the opening and thereby locks the cartridge into the drive. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A differential device (17) for use in a four wheel drive system, the device including
a viscous coupling (29), a ball ramp actuator (31), and a clutch pack (33). Under normal
driving conditions, most of the torque is transmitted to the front drive wheels (11), and the
device (17) rotates as a unit. If the front wheels (11) begin to slip, the input shaft (15) and
input coupling member (35) rotate faster than the output coupling member (43), thus
transmitting torque to the output coupling member (43). This torque is transmitted to the
first ramp plate (51) of the ball ramp actuator (31), displacing the actuator from its neutral
position (FIG. 3), such that the second ramp plate (52) begins to load the clutch pack (33)
and transmit torque from the housing (25) to the output shaft (19), and from there to the
rear drive wheels (23). The device (17) includes a housing (25) which preferably
comprises a unitary member having a plurality of axially-extending grooves (77) which
receive mating ridges (79) on the outer surface of the input coupling member (35), and
ears (81) on the outer friction discs (65). Rollovers (76,83) at opposite ends of the
housing retain the various components, thus providing a simple and inexpensive housing
and method of assembly of the device.
