Abstract:
An active vibration control apparatus includes a linear actuator and a controller. The linear actuator includes a moving element, a stator and an elastic support. The stator has a plurality of coils surrounding the moving element. The elastic support supports the moving element to be reciprocally movable relative to the stator in an axial direction of the moving element due to elastic deformation of the elastic support. The controller is configured to apply an alternating current to the stator to generate vibration due to relative displacement of the moving element and the stator in the axial direction. The controller is configured to correct a center position of an amplitude of the vibration by additionally applying a predetermined direct current as a biased current to the stator when the linear actuator satisfies a predetermined vibration condition.
Abstract:
An active sound effect generating apparatus includes a controller (a fourth acoustic adjuster and a fifth acoustic adjuster) which determines the amplitude of a control signal by adjusting the amplitudes of reference signals (intermediate signals) depending on an engine rotational frequency change [Hz/second] calculated by an engine rotational frequency change calculator and an accelerator opening [%] detected by an accelerator opening sensor.
Abstract:
A head cap, including: a bottom plate portion having a bottom surface facing a liquid-droplets ejecting surface of a liquid-droplets ejecting head; a projecting portion which functions as a side wall, which extends from the bottom plate portion so as to define a recessed portion with the bottom plate portion, and whose distal end contacts with a surrounding of a liquid-droplets ejecting area formed in the liquid-droplets ejecting surface so as to enclose the liquid-droplets ejecting area; and an inner plate which is disposed along the projecting portion so as to cover an inner wall surface of the projecting portion.
Abstract:
In a method of manufacturing a liquid discharge head, the liquid discharge head has a flow-path unit having a liquid flow path, and a piezoelectric actuator unit. The liquid flow path has discharge openings and corresponding pressure chambers. The actuator unit has actuators which apply pressure to liquid in the pressure chambers. The method includes positioning the actuator unit to oppose the surface of the flow-path unit while extending on the plurality of pressure chambers, forming a particular film that is impermeable to the liquid on a supporting member. The particular film is secured to the surface of the flow-path unit by placing the supporting member on the flow-path unit, and aligning the supporting member such that a surface of the particular film opposes the surface of the flow-path unit while the openings of the plurality of pressure chambers are covered.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a retardation film comprising, as laminated in the thickness direction thereof, at least two layers of an optically anisotropic layer A containing at least one refractivity-anisotropic substance and a polymer A and an optically anisotropic layer B containing at least one refractivity-anisotropic substance in a ratio smaller than that in the optically anisotropic layer A, or not containing a refractivity-anisotropic substance, and containing a polymer B of which the main ingredient is the same as that of the polymer A, wherein the Nz factor of the optically anisotropic layers A and B intermittently differs in the thickness direction of the film.
