摘要： Techniques for improving droplet uniformity in acoustic ink printing. Row to row variations in an average droplet characteristic are reduced by controlling the electric power applied to the droplet ejectors of the individual rows. By applying the proper power to each row, the average droplet characteristic from the individual rows are made substantially. Another technique varies the efficiency of the individual droplet ejectors by physically trimming (such as with a laser) one or more of its components. Trimming may be performed on a droplet ejector's transducer, varactor, one or more associated resistors, or one or more capacitors. Yet another technique controls droplet ejector efficiency by electrically controlling the capacitance of a varactor associated with each droplet ejector, and thus each droplet ejector's efficiency. The voltage applied to each varactor may be controlled as a function of its column (to improve column to column uniformity), row (to improve row to row uniformity) or as a function of its column and row (to control the efficiency of the individual droplet ejector).

摘要： The free ink surface levels of acoustic ink printers are controlled by cap structures that have substantially non-retroreflective aperture configurations. The non-retroreflective configurations of the apertures of these cap structures cause diffusive scattering or directional deflection of the reflected surface ripple waves, thereby significantly reducing the time that is required for the oscillatory perturbations, which are caused by reflection of the surface ripple waves that are generated during the droplet ejection process, to dissipate to a negligibly low amplitude in the critical local areas of the ejection sites. This, in turn, increases the droplet ejection rates at which printers having such cap structures can be operated asynchronously.

摘要： In accordance with the present invention, an acoustic ink printer comprises a pool of liquid ink having a free surface in intimate contact with the inner face of a perforated membrane. The printer addresses all pixel positions within its image field via substantially uniform, relatively large diameter apertures which extend through the membrane on centers that are aligned with respective ones of the pixel positions. In operation, one or more focused acoustic beams selectively eject individual droplets of ink from the ink menisci that extend across the apertures. Accordingly, the membrane is positioned and the bias pressure that is applied to the ink is selected so that the menisci essentially remain within the focal plane of such beam or beams.

摘要： A printhead for an acoustic ink printer has a piezoelectric transducer on one surface of a substrate. A layer of a dielectric material is provided on the surface of the transducer away from the substrate. A Fresnel lens is formed in the surface of the dielectric layer away from the transducer, for focusing sound energy near the surface of a body of ink adjacent the dielectric layer. Thus the transducer and lens are both on the same side of the substrate. A pit may be formed in the substrate under the transducer. The transducer may be a body of piezoelectric material sandwiched between a pair of electrodes, the lower electrode of which has a thickness that is a quarter wave at the excitation frequency of the transducer. An anti-reflective coating may be provided on the lower surface of the substrate, with a body of an absorptive material abutting the anti-reflective layer, or an absorptive material having an acoustic impedance approximately matching that of the substrate may be coated on the lower surface of the substrate.

摘要： Acoustic radiators which are focused diffractively by multi-discrete-phase binary Fresnel lenses are provided for applications, such as acoustic ink printing. Standard semiconductor integrated circuit techniques are available for fabricating such lenses in compliance with design specifications having relatively tight tolerances, including specifications for integrated lens arrays demanding substantial precision in the relative spatial positioning of several lenses. The diffractive performance of these lenses simulate concave refractive lenses, even though the lenses preferably have generally flat geometries. To that end, the lenses advantageously are defined by patterning acoustically flat surfaces, such as an acoustically flat face of a substrate or, better yet, an acoustically flat face of a layer of etchable material which is grown or otherwise deposited on an acoustically flat surface of an etch resistant substrate.

摘要： A motion monitor which produces audible sound representative of motions of a subject or object being monitored, including a carrier, an optical fiber carried by the carrier, a laser source for injecting a laser beam in the optical fiber to produce a speckle light pattern at the output of the optical fiber, a photodetector for producing an output signal representative of modal noise developed in the optical fiber due to physical movement of the fiber, an amplifier for amplifying the output of the photodetector, and a loudspeaker which converts the amplified signals to audible sound representative of the modal noise at the fiber output. Optionally, the signals produced by the photodetector are shifted to a higher frequency range, e.g., the 500-700 Hz range, thereby to enable use of conventional inexpensive electronics and efficient loudspeakers. In one embodiment involving monitoring of a person, the frequency shifted output of the photodetector is transmitted to a remote location for remote monitoring of movements of the person. In another embodiment, the loudspeaker is mounted on the carrier and produces sound mimicking movement of the subject or object to which the carrier is attached.

摘要： An optical scanning system in which a focused light beam is scanned across an image plane by a rotating or reciprocating scan mirror and wherein the field curvature of the focused light beam is substantially reduced by moving the point of intersection between the optic axis of the scanning light beam and the scan mirror as a function of the rotation or reciprocation of the scan mirror and wherein movement of that point of intersection is controlled by having the distance R between the mirror and its point of rotation or reciprocation and the distance h between the image plane and the point of intersection of the optic axis of the scanning beam and the scan mirror approximate the relationship R=2.sqroot.2h. In the case of the scan mirror having a reciprocating movement, the optical scanning system compensates for non-linearity in the sweep of the scanning light beam across the image plane by utilizing a non-linear lever system to reciprocate the scan mirror.
