Abstract:
A head chip (2) includes an actuator substrate (3) having channels (5) for liquid ejection formed therein, and a cover plate (4) having a liquid supply chamber (6) for supplying liquid to the channels formed therein, the cover plate being stacked on the actuator substrate. The flow path member (7) is provided to the cover plate and supplies the liquid to the liquid supply chamber. The flow path member includes an inflow port (8) through which the liquid flows in, an outflow port (9) through which the liquid flows out, and a circulation path (10) along which the liquid is circulated from the inflow port to the outflow port. No filter is interposed in any of a flow path between the inflow port and the channels and a flow path between the outflow port and the channels.

A liquid jet head including: an opening and closing mechanism for, in an open state, opening a wall portion release opening (24n) to expose nozzle holes to outside and for, in a closed state, closing the wall portion release opening to form closed space between a wall portion (24) and a nozzle plate (31); a suction flow path (15) having, on one end side thereof, a suction port (15a) which is open below a nozzle column while another end side thereof being connected to a suction pump (16) for, by sucking an inside of the closed space with the suction pump, causing the closed space to become a negative pressure chamber to supply ink I from an ink tank of the ink to the nozzle holes; and an atmosphere release flow path (33) which is switchable between communication of the closed space with the outside and interruption thereof.
Abstract:
A 1.5 V non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery having high energy density, excellent charge and discharge characteristics and long cycle life is provided. The non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery uses, as the negative electrode active material, lithium-containing silicon oxide represented by the compositional formula Li.sub.x SiO.sub.y and defined such that the lithium content x and oxygen amount y are satisfied with 1.5.ltoreq.x.ltoreq.4.5 and 0
Abstract:
A non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery has a negative electrode, a positive electrode and a non-aqueous electrolyte with lithium ion conductivity. A composite oxide produced from a metal or a metalloid and lithium represented by composition formula Li.sub.x MO (where M represents metals or metalloids other than alkali metals, and x satisifies 0.ltoreq.x) is used as an active material of one or both of the negative electrode and the positive electrode. The battery exhibits a large charging/discharging capacity and a high energy density together with smaller polarization (internal resistance) on charging and discharging which facilitates a large current charging and discharging with a long cycle life and reduces deterioration due to excess charging and excess discharging.
Abstract:
A head chip includes an actuator substrate having channels for liquid ejection formed therein, and a cover plate having a liquid supply chamber for supplying liquid to the channels, the cover plate being stacked on the actuator substrate. A flow path member mounted to the cover plate supplies the liquid to the liquid supply chamber. The flow path member includes an inflow port through which the liquid flows in, an outflow port through which the liquid flows out, and a circulation path along which the liquid is circulated from the inflow port to the outflow port. No filter is interposed in either the flow path between the inflow port and the channels or the flow path between the outflow port and the channels. The sectional area of the circulation path in a direction orthogonal to the circulating direction of liquid flow is larger than that of the liquid supply chamber.
