  • Publication number: 20020130589
    Abstract: A piezoelectric vibrator with a smaller diameter may have a higher sound pressure to obtain a piezoelectric vibration apparatus with a smaller diameter and a thinner thickness. Although the primary electrode is uniformly coated on the primary side, it is not coated on all the primary side of the piezoelectric film and it is made of a continuous mesh metal film. Accordingly, a driving voltage may be applied on the piezoelectric film while there are some portions on the primary side on which the metal film is partially uncoated so that the curvature restraint of the piezoelectric film due to the primary electrode may be reduced. The contact electrode with a higher metal film occupation ratio than that of the primary electrode is coated so that the contact electrode may be used as a soldering portion for connecting thereto the terminal.

  • Patent number: 6302530
    Abstract: In accordance with the invention, in order to increase the volume of an ink cartridge containing color inks, to prevent the ink cartridge from being improperly mounted on a print head, to ensure that required rigidity of an ink cartridge, and to ensure the viscosities of different inks remain uniform, in an ink cartridge body, a plurality of ink chambers are arranged in at least two linear arrays, and ink supplying ports associated with the ink chambers are also arranged in two linear arrays, whereby the size of the ink cartridge can be reduced, and easy loading of the ink cartridge can be insured. Additionally, the ink supply ports may be arranged in a zig-zag, offset manner to allow for a further reduction in the size of the ink chambers and ink cartridge. The open outer ends of the ink supply ports are formed substantially flush with the bottom walls of the ink chambers. Therefore, the volumes of each of the ink chambers is increased.
