Abstract:
In a liquid-ejecting method for ejecting liquid contained in a liquid chamber from a nozzle as a liquid droplet group, the ejection amount of each liquid droplet of the continuously ejected liquid-droplet group can be stabilized corresponding to a wide frequency band of a pulse signal. Also, when one pixel is formed with a plurality of liquid droplets using a head capable of deflecting the ejecting direction of the liquid droplet, the image quality is improved by reducing the landing positional displacement between plural liquid droplets for forming the one pixel.

Abstract:
A printer is provided which sprays ink from nozzles to print recording paper P. It includes a paper feed/delivery mechanism (72) to carrying the paper P to which the ink is to adhere, nozzles (52a) to spray the ink as droplets, an ink-spraying head (45) to spray the ink from the nozzles toward the paper P having been carried to a position opposite to the nozzles, an ink-spraying controller (123) to control the ink-spraying head (45) to spray the ink from the nozzles in predetermined timing, a temperature sensor (74) to detect the ambient temperature and/or humidity when spraying the ink from the nozzles, a speed discrimination unit (73) to judge whether the carrying speed of the paper P has been changed, a memory (128) having stored therein ink-spraying control data intended for controlling the spraying timing correspondingly to the type of the paper P, and a controller (129) to delay, when the carrying speed of the paper P has been increased in the process of printing, the timing of spraying ink in other color than black based on the temperature detected by the temperature sensor and ink-spraying control data for the type of the paper P, pre-stored in the memory, in relation to that which is before the carrying speed of the paper P is increased, thereby projecting the other ink than the black ink to a position to which the black ink is to be projected.
Abstract:
An ejection control device includes a memory for storing a correspondence table between gray-scale data items and ejection pattern data items, each gray-scale data item determining the number of droplets to be ejected to a corresponding pixel so as to express a desired gray-scale level of the pixel, each ejection pattern data item determining the ejection timing of droplets; and a converter for converting each gray-scale data item of the corresponding pixel to the corresponding ejection pattern data item by referring to the table. In the table, the setting of the ejecting position can be freely adjusted. In particular, an ejection pattern having ejection data bits discretely distributed for one pixel range can be easily achieved. Moreover, compliance with system changes can be achieved simply by rewriting the table.

In a line-type printer head, a plurality of head chips are arranged side by side in a printing direction, and each of the head chips has a plurality of discharging portions aligned in the printing line direction so as to discharge ink droplets. A plurality of discharging portions of the adjoining head chips are placed in an overlapping section, and the landing interval between ink droplets discharged from the discharging portions in the overlapping section of one of the adjoining head chips and the landing interval between ink droplets discharged from the discharging portions in the overlapping section of the other head chip are different from each other.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method of registering a location in a mobile communication system in which the call signal traffic can be further reduced without increasing the location registration signal traffic. When a base station ID defined by notification information changes, or when a predetermined period of time has passed, the base station ID is stored in the history of the mobile device. From the latest history of the mobile device, one or a plurality of base stations near which the mobile device has a possibility of passing by next are statistically predicted. The predicted base stations are then stored as a personal location registration area. Based on the history, the registered personal location registration area is extracted so as to perform a location registration operation. Accordingly, the location registration operation can be performed with the optimum personal location registration area for the movement pattern of each mobile device. Thus, the call signal traffic can be reduced further without increasing the location registration signal traffic.

Abstract:
To provide a laser plate making apparatus having a simple construction capable of reducing generation of Moire. The slant line R1 formed of the starting position of the formed arbitrary recess 7 which is formed on the press plate 5a or the like in the main scanning direction F is formed so as not to be coincident with the slant line R2 formed of the starting position in the main scanning direction F of the recess 7 which is located at the next position in the sub scanning direction A. Therefore, when a multicolor printing is carried out by using the press plate 5Pa thus formed or the like, manifestation of Moire is reduced. Particularly, when the line R3 connecting the predetermined point within the arbitrary recess 7 to the point located at the position corresponding to the predetermined point in the recess 7 which is located at adjacent position in the sub scanning direction A, is set to a constant angle .phi. different from the irradiation angle .theta. of the laser beam, the Moire is further reduced.
