摘要:
The ink jet recording apparatus comprises an ink end detector for detecting when ink in each of the cartridges mounted on the carriage is exhausted, and a cover detector for detecting whether the cover member attached to the casing body of the apparatus is open. And when the ink end detector detects that the ink has been exhausted and the cover detector detects that the cover member is open, a carriage driver is driven and moves the carriage and positioned it at an opening formed in the casing body for the exchange of ink cartridges. Therefore, the operability for the exchange of ink cartridges when the ink has been exhausted can be improved.

Disclosed is a pigment dispersion that can be used for an ink jet printing-use pigment ink that affords stable printing characteristics and has excellent storage stability in an ink jet printer having a head driven at a high frequency and having finer nozzles in order to enhance image quality and raise the speed. Disclosed is also a method for manufacturing this pigment dispersion. This manufacturing method includes a step of surface-treating a self-dispersing type of pigment, in which at least hydrophilic, dispersibility-imparting group is introduced to the pigment surface directly and/or via a polyvalent group, and a step of dispersing the self-dispersing pigment obtained in said surface-treating step in an aqueous medium, wherein the dispersion step is a step in which at least the self-dispersing pigment, a wetting agent, and water are dispersed in the form of a liquid mixture.

Generally speaking, in accordance with the invention, an ink cartridge for an ink-jet recording apparatus can include a container formed by a plurality of walls, an ink supply port extending through at least one of said walls of the container to permit ink to pass out of the container, a porous member disposed within the container for transferring ink to the ink supply port, and a projecting member that projects into the container and is formed with an inlet of the ink supply port. The projecting member can engage against and locally compress a portion of the porous member in the region of the inlet of the ink supply port. The projecting member can be formed so that a first region of the container proximal the front wall of the container is shallower than a second region of the container proximal the back wall of the container.

An ink supply communication path is formed so that one end thereof is arranged outside a region confronting a pressure producing chamber at a region confronting a reservoir chamber; and an ink supply constricted port is arranged at a portion of the ink supply communication path, the portion being remotest from the pressure producing chamber. Since the pressure producing chamber is connected to the ink supply constricted port through the elongated ink supply communication path, a jet flow from the ink supply constricted port grows into a large flow along the ink supply communication path, which in turn allows air bubbles susceptible to stagnation in the vicinity of the ink supply constricted port to be discharged by such large flow.
摘要:
Ultrasonic apparatus that automatically adjusts the focus of ultrasonic waves to a desired depth within an object includes an ultrasonic probe which irradiates a focused ultrasonic beam onto an object to be inspected and a receiver which receives ultrasonic waves reflected from the object. A desired focusing depth is set and the inherent focal length of the probe and the velocity of sound within the object are detected to evaluate a distance between the probe and the object at which the focus of the probe coincides with the desired depth. The distance between the probe and the object is adjusted to coincide with the evaluated distance.
摘要:
A substance vaporizing apparatus which uses a vapor of a substance generated by heating the substance in a gas-filled tube as an exciting medium or an ionizing medium. The apparatus employs an improved container for containing the substance within the gas-filled tube. The improved container suppresses the rate of emission of the vapor of the substance into a discharge space defined by the gas-filled tube to hold the vapor density of the substance at an optimum low value for laser oscillation relative to the buffer gas density in the discharge space. Thus, the mean free path of the atoms of the substance, namely the average distance traveled by the atoms between elastic collisions with the electrons, ions and neutral atoms of the buffer gas, is increased to increase the number of atoms of the subtance excited to a higher energy level, which, consequently, increases laser power and enhances laser beam or ion beam accelerating energy. The employment of segmental discharge electrodes each consisting of a plurality of partial electrodes diametrically distributed in the discharge space of the gas-filled tube enables heating the buffer gas in a substantially uniform diametrical temperature distribution, which enables to increase the length and diameter of the laser medium. The employment of two pulse generating circuits promotes the relaxation of the atoms of the substance from a lower energy level to the ground energy level to enable the next application of a pulse voltage to establish a complete population inversion, which enables the substance vaporizing apparatus to operate at a high efficiency at a high discharge frequency.

A reactor apparatus for a railway vehicle includes a coil assembly, a side cover, through bolts inserted into the coil assembly, cover supporting members, a pair of frames, and ribs that reinforce the pair of frames. A support/fixation section of each frame is fixed to an under surface of a vehicle pedestal. The pair of the frames are disposed on both sides of the coil assembly, and support the through bolts and the cover supporting member. For each rib, leg members that extend from corresponding reinforcing body are penetrated into and welded to the corresponding frame. For each cover supporting member, a leg member that extends from corresponding cover supporting body is penetrated into and welded to the corresponding frame.
