Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system for rapidly writing or rewriting a lithographic printing plate by a process for eliminating a chemical solution. SOLUTION: The printing plate comprises, on its surface 18, an electrically grounded substrate 50, a charge generating layer 52 formed on the grounded substrate 50, and an electron transporting layer 54 formed on the layer 52. In this case, a lithographic plate s printed by giving an influence to hydrophobic and hydrophilic characteristics of the plate by controlling a surface energy. An ink is applied to the plate along its image, and the image is rapidly formed on a recording medium.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To perform printing to a general medium sheet and to a temporary reusable medium sheet. SOLUTION: The two-media printer 100 includes a drive roll 130 which selectively feeds a general medium sheet and a temporary reusable medium sheet from one of a first medium tray 120 and a second medium tray 125; a shuttling carriage assembly 140 disposed on a paper passing route; a first printhead 150 mounted on the carriage assembly 140 and forming an image on the general medium sheet by adhering a marking material to the medium sheet; a second printhead 160 mounted on the carriage assembly 140 and forming a temporary image on the temporary reusable medium sheet by emitting light to the surface of the medium sheet; and a pre-conditioning station 135 disposed on the upstream side of the carriage assembly 140 and pre-conditioning the temporary reusable medium sheet for printing by heating the medium sheet.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system for supplying a sample to an analytical apparatus at a higher speed. SOLUTION: The system supplies the fluid sample to an inlet of the analytical apparatus. The system includes an acoustic ejector, which is driven by a driving system for generating a driving signal supplied to the ejector. The generated driving signal has a sufficient pulse width for discharging at least a part of the fluid sample. A liquid reservoir, installed for storing the fluid sample, is arranged so as to allow the operation with the acoustic ejector. A fluid sample voltage source is installed in the liquid reservoir. The fluid sample voltage source is designed so as to provide the fluid sample with electric charges. An analysis apparatus voltage source is arranged so as to allow the operation with the analytical apparatus, and is designed so as to supply a bias voltage source between the liquid reservoir and the analysis apparatus.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for accurately inspecting whether a biofluid discharge ejector included in a multiple ejector system normally operates or not. SOLUTION: The method for inspecting whether the droplet discharge unit included in the multiple ejector system is in normal operation or not comprises scanning a test substrate having discharged the fluid and detecting whether a vacuum unit corresponding to the specific droplet discharge unit has released the fluid or not.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an improved organic liquid particle discharging device. SOLUTION: A organic liquid particle discharging mechanism comprises a transducer which generates an energy used to discharge organic liquid particles, and a chemical cartridge which is a organic liquid holder holding an organic liquid. The chemical cartridge has such structure as to hold a small volume of the organic liquid, with the organic liquid avoided from contaminated. The chemical cartridge is connected to the liquid particle discharging mechanism when actuated so that the organic liquid particles are discharged when the liquid particle discharging mechanism is actuated. The liquid particle discharging mechanism is very efficient, capable of configured as a two-piece type device or as a one-piece type disporsable device.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To discharge a hot melt ink in an acoustic ink printhead by disposing an ink reservoir between a lower surface of a porous plate disposed on a solid low sound wave attenuating element disposed on an acoustic lens and an upper surface of the solid low sound wave attenuating element. SOLUTION: An acoustic lens 76 for arriving an acoustic energy from any one transducer 12 starting during an operation after passing a base 14 passes the energy through a pedestal 62 of a pedestal carrier 60 for disposing a polyimide planar layer 78 and a meta porous plate 80 on an uppermost surface. Thereafter, when a sound wave concentrated at an infinitesimal focal region on a surface of an ink is moved along a longer route of a hot melt ink having a high viscosity, a high viscosity material highly attenuates the sound wave to affect an adverse influence to transmission of the energy, but a plastic material of the pedestal 62 brings a shorter attenuating route to the wave to increase a ratio of energy movement to the ink surface 86.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an improved acoustic lens which is formed in a complete hemisphere as much as possible. SOLUTION: An acoustic lens is manufactured such that a substrate 10 is etched to make a recess of a lens 11 integrally formed in a parabola shape. An etching solvent 13 is placed on the substrate 10 and a light 15 which is patterned by using a mask 17 from a parallel light source 19 is emitted to the etching solvent 13, thereby manufacturing the acoustic lens.
