Patent number: 6682181Abstract: In the embodiments of the simplified ink jet head described in the specification, a carbon body is formed with ink passages, such as internal passages extending through a carbon plate, pressure chambers on one side of a carbon plate, flow-through passages on the other side of the same plate and ink supply passages, and a piezoelectric plate is affixed to the pressure chamber side of the carbon plate by a thin layer of epoxy adhesive. The piezoelectric plate may have a conductive coating on one side which is photo-etched to produce an electrode pattern corresponding to the pattern of the pressure chambers in the carbon plate. An orifice plate may have specially profiled orifice openings to assure axial projection of drops and may be affixed by a thin layer of epoxy adhesive to a carbon plate having orifice passages supplying ink from the pressure chambers to the orifices.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 1995Date of Patent: January 27, 2004Assignee: Spectra, Inc.Inventors: Edward R.

Patent number: 6532028Abstract: In the embodiments described in the specification, a piezoelectric transducer has electrodes to the piezoelectric layer with an adhesive bonding agent under pressure applied hydraulically so as to be distributed uniformly throughout the surface of the piezoelectric layer.

Patent number: 6520248Abstract: A heat sink has a surface with a plurality of slots having mutually facing sidewalls which converge toward the base of the slot at an angle. Each slot receives an end portion of a cooling fin having sidewalls which converge at the same angle, so that the sidewalls of the slot are at least substantially parallel to the sidewalls of the cooling fin. The slots are preferably machined in the base and the sidewalls on the fins are machined or coined, yielding tolerances which are so close that the gap between parts is less than 60 microinches, and unfilled adhesive can be used. The thinness of the bond provides good thermal conductivity and reduced curing time. It is also possible to, provide the slots with a slightly smaller angle so that the base deforms to accommodate the cooling fin and adhesive may be eliminated.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2001Date of Patent: February 18, 2003Assignee: Aavid Thermalloy LLCInventors: David W. Gailus, Francis Edward Fisher, Julian Ralph Cavalot

Patent number: 6037707Abstract: In the embodiments described in the specification, electrodes are bonded to the surface of a ceramic piezoelectric layer by supporting electrodes having a reduced dimension on a flexible dielectric film and placing the dielectric film under tension to expand the film and the electrodes sufficiently to conform the electrodes to the desired electrode pattern on the ceramic piezoelectric layer. The electrodes are then bonded to the piezoelectric layer with an adhesive bonding agent under pressure applied hydraulically so as to be distributed uniformly throughout the surface of the piezoelectric layer. In one embodiment the dielectric film also carries conductor arrays for connecting the electrodes to remote driver chips at locations spaced from the surface of the piezoelectric layer.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 1998Date of Patent: March 14, 2000Assignee: Spectra, Inc.Inventors: David W.

Patent number: 5910810Abstract: In the ink jet printing system described in the specification, a hot melt ink jet printhead having two ink reservoirs is coupled through an ink supply line to a remote hot melt ink supply and a temperature controller is arranged to control the temperatures of the ink in the remote ink supply, the supply line, the ink reservoirs in the printhead and passages leading from the reservoirs to the ink jet orifices at selected temperature levels to inhibit high-temperature degradation of the ink while permitting the ink to be jetted at the desired jetting temperature. In addition, a pressure control system controls the pressure of the ink in the printhead at one or more selected levels to permit the printhead to be used at different orientations and to permit purging of air bubbles and contaminants from the orifice passageways and to supply a relatively high vacuum to a deaerator in the printhead to extract dissolved air from the ink.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 1995Date of Patent: June 8, 1999Assignee: Markem CorporationInventors: Jeffrey B.
