A liquid supply mechanism includes: a supply pathway that supplies liquid to a plurality of ejection sections each ejecting the liquid from nozzles; a branching path that is branched off from the supply pathway and through which the liquid circulates; a buffer unit that is disposed in the branching path and that lessens pressure fluctuations occurred in the liquid in the branching path; and a changing unit that changes a pathway to the buffer unit so that the changing unit shuts the pathway to the buffer unit during maintenance for discharging the liquid from the nozzles of the ejection sections. The liquid discharged during the maintenance is greater in quantity than the liquid discharged during normal operation.

Gob producing device with a molten glass feeder having an orifice at its bottom portion and a cutter for cutting the molten glass pushed out through the orifice so as to be suspended and produce a gob. The gob producing device includes a cutter position moving for adjusting the height of the cutter mechanism by moving it, a gob observing device for observing the falling gob in three dimensions, an image processor for obtaining the gob length from spatial position data obtained by the gob observing device to determine acceptance or rejection of the length and calculating correction data for correcting the cutter's height from the difference between measured and set values of the gob length when the obtained length is determined to be inappropriate, and a control device for moving the cutter mechanism by controlling the cutter position moving mechanism's operation on the basis of the correction data.

The present invention provides an ink jet recording head in which the degree of freedom in the design of the arranged position of an electric signal input-output terminal is enhanced, its manufacturing method and an ink jet recording device, the invention is characterized as follows. The ink jet recording head is formed by laminating a heater element substrate in which a heater element and others are arranged and a passage substrate in which nozzles and others are formed. When the nozzles and others are formed by etching in the passage substrate, a cut-out portion for exposing an electric signal input-output terminal of the heater element substrate is also formed. Therefore, the degree of freedom in the design of the shape and the position of the cut-out portion in the head chip is enhanced. It is possible to prevent a hydrophobic agent from adhering to the electric signal input-output terminal to result in electric connection failure if hydrophobic treatment is applied to a nozzle forming plane by forming the head chip so that the electric signal input-output terminal is not exposed at least on the side of the nozzle forming plane owing to the cut-out portion.

Provided is an indirectly heated rotary dryer which has achieved enhanced energy-saving performance by reducing heating tubes non-contacting with material to be dried and reducing power required for rotation even when a hold up ratio is increased.Specifically provided is an indirectly heated rotary dryer having four partition walls extended respectively along a shaft center in an inner space of a rotating shell at angle intervals of 90 degrees in the vertical and horizontal directions. The four partition walls partition the inner space of the rotating shell at a lateral section of the rotating shell into four approximately-sector-shaped small spaces respectively extended along the shaft center. Heating tubes are aligned in the rotating shell in three lines extended respectively in parallel to the shaft center of the rotating shell. The heat tubes heat and dry the material to be dried by supplying heated steam to the heating tubes and performing heat exchange with the material to be dried in the rotating shell.
摘要:
CPU architecture is modified so that content of the interrupt mask register can be changed directly based on a decoding result of an instruction decoder of a CPU. Such modification does not require a great deal of labor in changing a CPU design. In addition, an extended CALL instruction and an extended software interrupt instruction are added to the CPU, and each of the extended CALL instruction and the extended software interrupt instruction additionally has a function of changing the value of the interrupt mask register. Atomicity is achieved by: allowing such a single instruction to concurrently execute a call of a process and a value change of the interrupt mask register; and disabling other interrupts during execution of the single instruction.
