Abstract: A liquid ejection head is disclosed. The liquid ejection includes a flow channel plate, the flow channel plate being formed from one thin plate, the flow channel plate being formed with one or more pressure generating chambers, a fluid resistance section which supplies liquid to the pressure generating chamber, and a nozzle hole which opposes the pressure generating chamber. The flow channel plate is made of a metal material, and wherein the flow plate includes the pressure generating chamber which is formed of a groove-shaped indentation; the nozzle hole which is formed at one end in a longitudinal direction of the groove-shaped indentation; and the fluid resistance section which is formed at the other end in the longitudinal direction of the groove-shaped indentation. The pressure generating chamber, the nozzle head, and the fluid resistance section are formed such that they deform the thin plate in a thickness direction.

Abstract: In an electronic level in which a leveling rod is collimated to convert the result of collimation into an image signal in the form of an electric signal and then graduated numerical values are automatically recognized as characters to thereby compute the collimated position, recognition cannot be made with small graduated numerical values when the distance between a telescope 1 and the leveling rod is large. If the graduated numerical values are enlarged, recognition can neither be made when the distance is small because the graduated numerical values go beyond the field of view. As a solution, two kinds of large and small graduated numerical values A, B are indicated on the leveling rod. From the pitches of graduation patterns M1, M2 in the image signals, the distance between the telescope and the leveling rod is obtained. Then, depending on the distance, the graduated numerical value to be recognized is selected out of the graduated numerical values A, B.
