摘要:
First, second, and third ink absorbing bodies are accommodated in a container of a recovery reservoir in this order from the side corresponding to a bottom surface of the container, so that an introduction chamber is defined in the middle of a recovery space. A lid having a shutter plate and a communication hole is located over the third ink absorbing body. The upper side of the introduction chamber is covered by the shutter plate to suppress volatilization of solvent element of waste ink introduced into the introduction chamber. In addition, the communication hole is located in a portion of the upper surface of the third ink absorbing body, so that solvent element of ink absorbed by the third ink absorption body volatilizes.

An optical waveguide element having a plurality of surface waveguide portions. A connecting portion for connecting the surface waveguide portions. An output light-outputting waveguide portion connected to the connecting portion each on a dielectric substrate. An output light optical fiber connected to an output end of the output light-outputting waveguide portion. A reinforcing capillary for a connection between the optical waveguide element and the output light optical fiber and a monitoring light receiver. The reinforcing capillary has a hole or groove for supporting the output light optical fiber, a connecting face bonded to an output end face of the substrate, and a terminal surface opposite to the connecting face. The light outputted from the optical waveguide element, therethrough to the outside of the capillary.

An ink tank includes a detector element that optically detects a condition of ink. The ink tank includes a first ink chamber adapted to be opened to an external environment. A second ink chamber communicates with the first ink chamber and includes a bottom surface with protrusions. A third ink chamber is disposed below the second ink chamber relative to a direction of gravity. The ink tank also includes an ink passage by which the second ink chamber communicates with the third ink chamber. An ink outlet communicates with the third ink chamber. The detector element is arranged so as to face at least one of the ink passage and the third ink chamber.

An imaging apparatus having an automatic exposure function includes: an imaging section which images a photographic subject, and which obtains image data according to the photographic subject; and a controller configured to: judge whether or not imaging conditions at the time of imaging by the imaging section are backlight conditions; perform a first exposure control in which a compensation for the backlight conditions is performed, when the imaging conditions are judged to be the backlight conditions; detect a face of a person from image data generated based on the image data obtained by the imaging section and on a result of the first exposure control; perform a light meter test on a face area of the detected face of the person as a light metering area; and perform a second exposure control in which an exposure-amount based on a result of the light meter test of the face of the person is calculated, and in which an exposure control for recording is performed based on the calculated exposure-amount.
摘要:
A cigarette making apparatus includes a cooling-water passage which allows a coolant to circulate along a flavoring-material supply path which connects an application nozzle for applying a flavoring material to a wrapping-paper web and a pump for supplying the flavoring material to the application nozzle, to thereby cool the flavoring material. A cooling unit controls the temperature of the coolant supplied to the cooling-water passage. Specifically, the cooling unit controls the temperature of the flavoring material by selectively activating a first control system for detecting the temperature of the coolant supplied to the cooling-water passage and controlling the temperature of the coolant, and a second control system for detecting the temperature of the flavoring material supplied to the application nozzle and controlling the temperature of the coolant. Since the temperature of the flavoring material is controlled to fix the viscosity thereof, the amount per unit area of the flavoring material applied to the wrapping-paper web is fixed only by controlling the drive of the pump depending on the rate of supply of the wrapping-paper web.

摘要:
An ink chamber is formed with a vent port allowing atmospheric air to enter therein and an ink outlet from which ink is taken out. An optical member has an ink contact face capable of contacting with ink contained in the ink chamber. The ink contact face includes a detection face at which a remaining amount of ink in the ink chamber is optically detected in accordance with an amount of air entered into the ink chamber via the vent port. A first ink absorbing member is disposed in the vicinity of the ink contact face, and capable of absorbing the ink in the ink chamber.
