A printing head designed to have a long life, particularly to be able to maintain a long duration life of a heater portion and improved qualities of printed images with improved stability and to achieve high-speed printing, a printing apparatus using the printing head and a method for driving the printing head are provided. On a substrate of the printing head are formed a printing liquid supply chamber, liquid channels communicating with the supply chamber, liquid channel wall members forming the channels, nozzles for ejecting a liquid, heaters provided as thermal energy transducing elements in the channels, and an electric wiring for energizing the heaters. Each channel has a wing-like sectional configuration in the vicinity of the corresponding heater.

Developer material remaining on an image bearing member after transfer are collected by a developer. A cleaning member is arranged between a charger and an exposure in contact with the image bearing member, for collecting the residual developer material. A bias controller controls biases to be applied to a cleaner, a charger, and a developer. During an image forming process, the biases are so determined that the residual toner on the image bearing member is collected by the cleaner. While the image forming process is not performed, the biases are so determined that the collected toner is removed from the cleaner to the image bearing member and then collected by the developer.

A speed conversion coefficient calculating section 104 calculates a ratio of a GPS Doppler velocity calculated by a GPS velocity calculating section 101 to a vehicle speed measured by a speed sensor 102, thereby obtaining a speed conversion coefficient. There are provided a plurality of filtering sections 105-108 for averaging momently produced speed conversion coefficients. A filter selecting section 109 selects an optimum filtering section among these filtering sections 105-108. If a ratio of the speed conversion coefficient resultant from the speed conversion coefficient calculating section 104 to a presently adopted speed conversion coefficient is not within a predetermined range, an abnormality detecting & initializing section 110 notifies abnormality and initializes calculation process of the speed conversion coefficient in response to detection of such an abnormality.

An inkjet printing apparatus which enables printing with high print quality is provided. For that purpose, a pair of airflow guides are provided at intermediate positions between each adjacent two of the printing heads arrayed in a travelling direction of a carriage, the pair of the airflow guides respectively located right and left in a direction perpendicular to the travelling direction of the carriage.
摘要:
A system includes a transmitting apparatus having a first digital map and a receiving apparatus having a second digital map. The second digital map shows a road segment at a different location from the first digital map due to errors. The transmitting apparatus transmits location information to the receiving apparatus. The location information includes coordinates information, attribute information, and relative information. After receiving the location information from the transmitting apparatus, the receiving apparatus identifies the location of a road segment on the second digital map by using the coordinates information and the attribute information and identifies a location of a traffic event on the road segment on the second digital map by using the relative information. The relative information includes a distance from a start point of a road segment on the first digital map to the location on the road segment on the first digital map.
摘要:
An image forming apparatus including first and second pairs of rollers for feeding a print medium; the second pair of rollers being disposed downstream from the first pair of rollers; a first detector for detecting the print medium slack in a specified degree by contact with the print medium, the first detector being disposed between the first pair of rollers and the second pair of rollers; a second detector for detecting either the first pair of rollers or the second pair of rollers need a specified value of driving torque; and a controller for controlling either a feeding speed at which the print medium is fed by the first pair of rollers or a feeding speed at which the print medium is fed by the second pair of rollers based on either outputs from the first detector or outputs from the second detector.
摘要:
To provide a technology capable of maintaining the consistency of a managed object even when an existing operation program is used for manipulation without modifying the existing operation program when the managed object itself on an execution base is expanded. An operation consistency maintenance method for an operation consistency maintenance system which maintains operation consistency of an application which operates on an application server comprises reading, from a storage device, manipulation control information indicating a manipulation control method when middleware is manipulated from an application operation program, and transmitting a call for inhibiting a manipulation request or for changing a calling operation function based on the read manipulation control information to the application server by a communication device; and receiving the call by the application server by means of the communication device, and calling either an application operation function or a middleware operation function indicated by the received call.
摘要:
A vehicle number plate that allows a steering damper to be disposed without impairing the functions of the number plate, and is less susceptible to an effect of cross wind. The vehicle includes a front fork, which suspends a front wheel, disposed steerably on a head pipe on a vehicle body and a steering mechanism including a handlebar mounted on the front fork. The number plate is marked with a competition identification number and is disposed at a front portion of a fork bridge including a top bridge and a bottom bridge to connect left- and right-hand portions of the front fork. In the vehicle, the steering damper is disposed between the head pipe and the bottom bridge. The number plate includes a protruded portion that protrudes forwardly at a center thereof and narrows toward a lower portion, the lower portion covering an area forward of the steering damper.
