An image forming apparatus includes an image carrier that carries a latent image; an exposure device, which includes a light source and an optical member, for focusing, on the image carrier, light emitted by the light source that is used to form a latent image on the image carrier; and a developing device, for developing the latent image. A dust prevention member that contacts the image carrier is arranged for the exposure device.

A piezoelectric actuator is constructed by forming a common electrodeof Cr, a piezoelectric layerof Pb(Zr,Ti)O, a cover layerof BaTiO, and an individual electrodeof Pt in this order into a laminate. The thickness of the piezoelectric layerin the lamination direction (T) and the thickness of the cover layerin the lamination direction (T) satisfy the relationship of 0.08&#x2266;T/T&#x2266;1. The relative dielectric constant of the piezoelectric layer(&#x3b5;r) and the relative dielectric constant of the cover layer(&#x3b5;r) satisfy the relationship of &#x3b5;r/&#x3b5;r

A piezoelectric actuatorhas: a piezoelectric actuator partmade up of a common electrode, a piezoelectric element, and an individual electrode; an electrical interconnection joint partformed on the individual electrode; an electrical interconnectionformed on the electrical interconnection joint part; a head blockfixed to a nozzle platethrough the electrical interconnection; and a PI tapedisposed within the head block. A closed spaceis defined between the head blockand the nozzle plate. The closed spaceis divided by the PI tapeinto two sections. Of these two sections of the closed space, the one on the side of the head blockconstitutes a first closed space. A moisture absorbentis sealed within the first closed space. Relative humidity within the closed spaceof the ink jet headis not less than 0% nor more than 20%.

Piezoelectric actuator and method of manufacture therefor, and ink jet head and ink jet type recording device

A patterned, multi-layered thin film structure is patterned using ultra-fast lasers and absorption spectroscopy without damaging underlying layers of the layered structure. The structure is made by selecting ablatable layers based on their thermal, strength and absorption spectra and by using an ultra-fast laser programmed with the appropriate wavelength (&#x3bb;), pulse width (&#x3c4;), spectral width (&#x394;&#x3bb;), spot size, bite size and fluence. The end structure may have features (such as vias, insulating areas, or inkjet printed areas) patterned in the last (top) layer applied or at deeper layers within the layered structure, and can be used as components of organic light emitting didoes (OLEDs) and organic thin film transistors (OTFTs). The method of the present invention includes determining the product's specifications, providing a substrate, selecting a layer, applying the layer, patterning the layer and determining if more layers need to be added to the multi-layered thin film structure.

A marine Diesel engine consists of parallel left and right engines mounted on a common bed plate having integral independent columns on which the cylinders of the engine are supported, the bed plate and columns forming the crank chambers of the engines. The exhaust and scavenging pipes for the engines are constructed as common parts, the scavenging pipe being mounted between the engines and being flexibly connected to at least one of them so as to permit relative movement between the engine upper portions. A single propeller shaft is driven at a desired low r.p.m. from the crank shafts of the engines through a gearing device consisting simply of a gear on the propeller shaft meshing with a pair of pinions each connected to one of the engine crank shafts by an elastic coupling. As compared with a conventional single bank Diesel engine, such a twin bank Diesel engine permits a ship of given dwt to be driven at the same speed with appreciable savings in fuel consumption, in engine weight, and in engine room size with a corresponding increase in cargo carrying capacity.
