A container for containing liquid to be ejected. The container includes a negative pressure producing member accommodating chamber for accommodating a negative pressure producing member. The negative pressure producing member accommodating chamber is provided with an air vent for fluid communication with ambience and a liquid supply portion for supplying the liquid to a liquid ejecting head having ejection outlets. The container also includes a liquid containing chamber which is substantially hermetically sealed except for a fluid communication path through which the liquid containing chamber is in fluid communication with the negative pressure producing member accommodating chamber. A partition is provided for separating the negative pressure producing member accommodating chamber and the liquid containing chamber. The partition is provided with an ambience introduction path for introducing the ambience into the liquid containing chamber from the negative pressure producing member accommodating chamber. The ambience introduction path forms a capillary force generating portion. The capillary force which is produced by the capillary force generating portion satisfies a relationship between that capillary force and potential head differences, head losses, and other capillary forces in the container.

An ink-jet recording apparatus has an ink container which has a plurality of defined chambers for containing ink and a detecting device which detects the residual ink quantity in the chambers. The detecting device has photosensors fixed in the recording apparatus which can detect the residual ink quantity in the chambers optically based on an amount of light passing through the chambers. As the ink container moves with a printhead carried by a carriage, the photosensors detect the residual ink quantities in the chambers one after another, whereby a simple detecting device for an ink container having multiple ink chambers can be provided.

A facing surface of a clutch piston is previously moved to a position just before it abuts against an inner surface of a torque converter cover, or a position in which it extremely slightly abuts against the inner surface of the torque converter cover by outputting an initial engage pressure YMIN set in accordance with a vehicle speed and the like only for a predetermined time TMPS prior to the start of engagement of a lockup clutch. When the engagement of the lockup clutch is started, the engage pressure is gradually increased. When the engage pressure approaches a target pressure set in accordance with the target speed ratio, a feedback control of the engage pressure is carried out such that the actual speed ratio of the torque converter is converged to the target speed ratio. Thus, when the lockup clutch of the torque converter is brought into an engaged state, the responsiveness can be enhanced while preventing the generation of a shock.

A liquid storing container, having a liquid feed portion for supplying liquid to a liquid injection recording apparatus, includes a rectangular receiving case for a porous member, and a filter that compresses the porous member. The liquid storing container provides for controlled feeding of liquid through a contact portion where the filter compresses the porous member, and a proper balance of air and liquid is achieved by symmetrical surfaces located within the receiving case.
摘要:
In a torque damper including damper springs accommodated in a channel defined around an outer periphery of a transmitting member with guide sheets sandwiched therebetween, notches are provided in an outer peripheral wall of the channel. Radially outward directed positioning claws on the guide sheets are engaged in the notches and urged axially by radially outward directed retaining claws on guide plates which are secured to a transmitting member to cover outer surfaces of the damper springs in the channel. Thus, the circumferential and axial movements of the guide sheets can be inhibited to prevent vibration of the guide sheets and wearing of the channel.
摘要:
A transfer recording medium comprising a substrate and a plurality of image forming elements bonded thereto by a binder is provided. The surface of each image forming element at least partially protrudes out of the binder. Such transfer recording medium may be prepared by applying the binder onto the substrate in a prescribed thickness, disposing the image forming elements in excess on the binder, and then removing the excess of the image forming elements. The thus prepared transfer recording medium provides an image having a high density and a faithfully reproducible color.

The transparent conductive film of the present invention is a transparent conductive film, comprising: a transparent film substrate; a patterned transparent conductive layer formed on one side of the transparent film substrate; and a colored layer provided on at least one of an opposite side of the transparent conductive layer from the transparent film substrate and an opposite side of the transparent film substrate from the transparent conductive layer, wherein the colored layer has an average absorptance of from 35% to 90% for light in the wavelength range of from 380 nm to 780 nm.
摘要:
The present invention provides a transparent conductive film in which the difference in visibility between the pattern portion and the pattern opening portion is kept small even when a transparent conductive layer is patterned. The transparent conductive film has a first dielectric layer, a second dielectric layer, and a transparent conductive layer in this order on a transparent film substrate, a thickness d21 of the first dielectric layer is larger than a thickness d22 of the second dielectric layer, the thickness d21 of the first dielectric layer is 8 to 40 nm and the thickness d22 of the second dielectric layer is 5 to 25 nm, and a difference between the thickness d21 of the first dielectric layer and the thickness d22 of the second dielectric layer, d21-d22, is 3 to 30 nm.
