Abstract: A plurality of unit areas (bit) B are set on a base board (S). A liquid drop made of a liquid member is ejected to the unit area B from a liquid drop ejecting head (34) so as to form a layer on the base board (S). A first pattern is formed by a first nozzle group Na in nozzles N which are formed in the liquid drop ejecting head (34). A second pattern is formed by a second nozzle group Nb which is different from the first nozzle group Na. By doing this, it is possible to maintain a stable ejection operation so as to form a pattern in preferable accuracy when patterns having different features are formed on the base board by using the liquid drop ejecting apparatus.

Abstract: A shape of the drive signal within each one-pixel period of main scan is modified to have N different waveforms corresponding to N different values of the print signal, the N different values of the print signal representing formation of the N different dots. The N different waveforms of the drive signal are changed between the forward pass and the reverse pass. This will align the hitting positions of ink droplets in the main scanning direction during forward and reverse passes.

Abstract: A two-way transmission system including a master station coupled to a transmitting end of a transmission line and a sub station coupled to the receiving end of the transmission line. A pulse transformer is provided between the transmission line and at least one of the master and sub stations. Variations in current flowing through the winding of the pulse transformer coupled to the transmission line produce variations in the impedance of the secondary winding which are detected with a comparator circuit to produce an output received signal. A diode may be inserted in series with the transmission line at at least one of the receiving and transmitting ends of the transmission line to prevent the charging of the distributed capacitance of the transmission line to increase the maximum possible transmission rate.

Abstract: A photoreceptor of electrophotography having a flexibility and a sensitivity to electromagnetic wavelengths of a wide range extending as far as the red color region of the spectrum of light rays is produced by forming a layer of a halogen-doped Se-S alloy on a substrate and further forming on said layer a halogen-doped Se-Te alloy layer. The Se-S alloy contains sulfur in a weight ratio of 0.1 to 0.35 to the Se-S alloy. The Se-Te alloy contains tellurium in a weight ratio of 0.05 to 0.35 to the Se-Te alloy.
