LIQUID EJECTING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240239100 titled 'LIQUID EJECTING APPARATUS

The liquid ejecting apparatus described in the patent application is designed to eject liquid based on a specific drive signal pattern.

  • The drive signal consists of a first ejection pulse, multiple second ejection pulses, and a third ejection pulse.
  • The first ejection pulse involves a change in potential from a first level to a reference level, followed by an interpulse component.
  • The second and third ejection pulses involve a change in potential from the first level to a second level.
  • The second ejection pulses include vibration suppression components that return to the reference level after the ejection components.
  • The third ejection pulse includes a vibration suppression component that transitions from the second level to a third level.
  • The reference level is positioned between the first and second levels, as well as between the second and third levels.

Potential Applications: - Inkjet printers - 3D printing - Biomedical devices

Problems Solved: - Improved liquid ejection accuracy - Reduced vibration during ejection process

Benefits: - Higher quality output - Enhanced precision in liquid deposition

Commercial Applications: Liquid ejecting apparatus technology can be utilized in various industries such as printing, manufacturing, and medical devices, leading to more efficient and accurate liquid ejection processes.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the liquid ejecting apparatus improve precision in liquid deposition? 2. What are the potential market implications of implementing this technology in different industries?


Original Abstract Submitted

a liquid ejecting apparatus is configured to eject liquid in response to a drive signal. the drive signal includes a first ejection pulse, a plurality of second ejection pulses, and a third ejection pulse. an ejection component of the first ejection pulse changes from a first potential to a reference potential and is temporally continuous with an interpulse component. ejection components of the second and third ejection pulses change from the first potential to a second potential. the second ejection pulses include first vibration suppression components that change from the second potential to the reference potential after the ejection components. the third ejection pulse includes a second vibration suppression component that changes from the second potential to a third potential. the reference potential is a potential between the first potential and the second potential and between the second potential and the third potential.
