摘要:
In an ink near-end detecting device, a pair of electrodes are arranged in the porous material in the ink tank and in the ink pool provided below the ink tank, respectively, so that the time instant the ink in the porous material has been nearly used up is detected from the variation of the electrical resistance between the electrodes with the consumption of the ink in the porous material.

An ultrasonic measuring method and an ultrasonic measuring apparatus utilize the level of a reflected ultrasonic reception signal coming from an object to be examined as measurement data after the level has been provided with either a positive or a negative sign in accordance with the phase of the reception signal.

A device, usable with an object having a layer, for measuring the thickness of the layer, includes a system for irradiating the object with light while changing its wavelength, the irradiating system having a light-emitting portion disposed opposed to the surface of the object, a photodetecting unit for detecting the light from the object irradiated by the irradiating system, the photodetecting unit having a light-receiving portion disposed opposed to the object, a system for detecting the thickness of the layer of the object on the basis of the detection by the photo-detecting unit, and a setting mechanism for positioning the object, relative to the light-emitting portion and the light-receiving portion, at a distance that substantially corresponds to an extremum of the quantity of light which is to be received by the light-receiving portion and which is variable with the positional relation of the object with the light-emitting portion and the light-receiving portion.

An improved magnetic actuator mechanism suitable for dot printing mechanisms for use in a wire matrix dot printer. The present magnetic actuator mechanism comprises an armature movable between a reset position and an actuated position, a permanent magnet for attracting the armature toward the reset position, and an electromagnet which, when energized, generates in the armature a magnetic flux opposite to and larger than the magnetic flux generated therein by the permanent magnet. The armature is thus moved to the actuated position by the turn of the magnetization direction in the armature when the electromagnet is energized. Therefore, in the present invention, the armature can have the magnetic fluxes in the opposite directions by the action of the permanent magnet and electromagnet combination so as to provide the armature of smaller cross sectional area or thickness with a higher magnetic force without causing the magnetic saturation thereof, which allows the use of an armature of less thickness or weight to assure high speed operation in response to a driving signal.

An SIMD type microprocessor is disclosed. The SIMD type microprocessor includes plural PEs (processor elements) each of which provides an ALU (arithmetic and logic unit) for lower-order bits, an ALU for upper-order bits, a control circuit for lower-order bits, a control circuit for upper-order bits, a range determining circuit for lower-order bits, and a range determining circuit for upper-order bits. The SIMD type microprocessor further includes a global processor, a range designation bus for lower-order bits which connects the global processor to the range determining circuit for lower-order bits, and a range designation bus for upper-order bits which connects the global processor to the range determining circuit for upper-order bits. The global processor instructs the range determining circuits to designate corresponding ranges to be operated on by the corresponding ALUs via the corresponding range designation buses so that the ALU for lower-order bits and the ALU for upper-order bits can be operated separately.

The invention provides an oil-based ink composition for ink jet recording, which is best suited for printing onto polyvinyl chloride substrates, and improved in terms of both the stabilities of ink on storage and jetting, and a method for inspecting the same. The oil-based ink composition for ink jet recording comprises as a main solvent at least a specific polyalkylene glycol dialkyl ether and containing at least a specific quinacridone pigment component. That composition should be such that when a measuring sample comprising it is analyzed by means of high speed liquid chromatography under specific measuring conditions, the concentration of a component having a peak at the holding time of 10.3 minutes is 0.4 ppm or less.
摘要:
Flushing regions for receiving ink droplets to be ejected when flushing signal is supplied to a recording head are provided in both of non-print regions situated at both sides of print region in order to prevent throughput during the flushing operation from deteriorating. A guide member having a slant surface is disposed between the recording head and an ink absorbing member to which the ink landed on the slant surface flows in order to reduce in size of the ink absorbing member. A porous sheet member closely faced to nozzle orifices of the recording head for receiving the ink droplets ejected therefrom is provided in order to prevent undesired mist of fine ink droplets from generating. A plurality of plate members closely faced to the nozzle orifices are provided at a predetermined angle with respect to the flight direction of the ink droplets in order to prevent the undesired mist from generating. The flushing operation is performed so as to prevent solidification of the ejected ink.

An aqueous ink ensuring less blurring and high color formation on plain paper, satisfactory color formation and fixing property on special paper and excellent ejection stability is realized by using a microcapsule of a colorant encapsulated with a polymer and rendered dispersible in water and specifying the amount of the aromatic ring in the polymer to be from 20 to 70 wt % of the polymer.
摘要:
An ink cartridge is detachably connected to a record head and has a plurality of ink storage chambers 11 (containing third ink storage chamber 17) for containing ink whose concentration gradient occurs and an ink flow passage 18 for making the ink storage chambers communicate with each other. The ink flow passage 18 is implemented as such an ink flow passage where ink in a high-concentration ink layer a formed in a lower area in the ink storage chamber 11 and ink in a low-concentration ink layer b formed in an upper area flow and merge as ink is supplied to the record head.
