    摘要: The invention provides an drive coil protection apparatus and method and a printer incorporating the apparatus. A rank memory stores a preset rank value associated with a reference drive coil in the print head of a printer. The preset rank value characterizes inherent deviations associated with the reference drive coil. The deviations result from manufacturing process, etc. A judgment value memory stores a plurality of sets of mode judgment values. Each set of mode judgment values corresponds to a particular rank value. Each mode judgment value represents a threshold value for determining the thermal condition of the print head and for selecting an appropriate operating mode for the print head. A head information detector detects the voltage drop across the reference drive coil to measure the change in the resistance of the reference drive coil. The voltage drop is digitized for accuracy measurement. The change in temperature of the reference drive coil can thus be determined. An operating mode selection circuit compares the digitized voltage drop with a particular set of mode judgment values in the judgment value memory corresponding to the preset rank value. Then, the operating mode selection circuit selects a suitable operating mode for the print head in accordance with the comparison. Thus, burnout of the print head can be prevented without reducing the operating efficiency of the printer.

    摘要: A stepping motor includes (a) a rotor being driven by exciting a driving coil, (b) a position detector including a magnetic flux generator for outputting a signal in the same phase as a polarity position of a magnet mounted to the rotor and a magnetic sensor receiving magnetic force from the magnetic flux generator, (c) a controller for controlling the stepping motor responsive to a position detection signal supplied from the position detector, (d) a board on which the magnetic sensor and the controller are mounted, and (e) a sensor cover for positioning the magnetic sensor, dissipating heat of the controller and for covering at least a part of the position detector and the controller. This structure allows the controller and the magnetic sensor to avoid the heat generated by the stepping motor. This structure also allows to assemble a motor sub-assembly including the driving coil, the rotor and the magnetic flux generator independently of and separately from a sensor sub-assembly including the board and the sensor cover. Thus the productivity increases and material loss decreases.

    摘要: In an antenna for communicating an electromagnetic wave, a first converger converges the electromagnetic wave. A second converger faces the first converger and includes a conductor plate having a through hole, into which a magnetic flux of the converged electromagnetic wave is converged. The through hole is formed at a center portion of the conductor plate so as to have a size which is sufficiently smaller than a wavelength of the electromagnetic wave. The conductor plate is formed with a cutout extending from a part of the through hole to an outer periphery of the conductor plate. A converter faces the through hole of the conductor plate to convert the converged magnetic flux into voltage.
