LIQUID DISCHARGE APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240326412 titled 'LIQUID DISCHARGE APPARATUS
The liquid discharge apparatus described in the abstract consists of two control circuits, a drive circuit, two discharge sections, two timing signal output circuits, and a drive signal output circuit.
- The first control circuit outputs a reference drive signal and a first discharge control signal, while the second control circuit outputs a second discharge control signal.
- The drive circuit generates a drive signal from the reference drive signal to control the discharge of liquid.
- The first discharge section discharges liquid based on the drive signal and the first discharge control signal, while the second discharge section does the same with the second discharge control signal.
- A first timing signal output circuit and a second timing signal output circuit generate timing signals to operate the control circuits accordingly.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in inkjet printers for precise liquid discharge. - It can also be applied in medical devices for accurate dispensing of medications or fluids.
Problems Solved: - Ensures controlled and accurate liquid discharge. - Allows for synchronized operation of multiple discharge sections.
Benefits: - Improved precision in liquid discharge processes. - Enhanced efficiency in various applications requiring liquid dispensing.
Commercial Applications: Title: Precision Liquid Discharge Technology for Inkjet Printers and Medical Devices This technology can be commercialized for use in inkjet printers, medical devices, laboratory equipment, and industrial automation systems.
