    Abstract: A drive signal includes a first drive signal and a second drive signal. The first drive signal includes a prior pulse section including a first contraction element and a discharging pulse section including a first expansion element pulling in a meniscus and the second contraction element discharging a droplet of liquid from the nozzle orifice. The second drive signal includes the discharging pulse section and a vibration control pulse section including a second expansion element controlling a residual vibration of the meniscus. A piezoelectric element is driven with the first drive signal when viscosity of the liquid is equal to or more than a first set value and is driven with the second drive signal when the viscosity is equal to or less than a second set value.

  • Publication number: 20050169488
    Abstract: An improved acoustic characteristic adjustment device comprises signal processing units including high frequency convolution arithmetic sections, low frequency convolution arithmetic sections, and delay sections. The device further comprises: an operation section from which a listener inputs a target characteristic in order to adjust a desired acoustic characteristic; an impulse characteristic control section; and a delay time control section. The impulse characteristic control section calculates impulse response data to effect convolution arithmetics. The delay time control section calculates alignment delay times necessary for sounds emitted from the speakers to reach a listening position. The delay time control section also calculates correction times for compensating various phase deviations. Times obtained by correcting the alignment delay times with the correction times are set as the delay times of the delay sections, respectively.
