Title: Innovations of Toshifumi Kato
Introduction
Toshifumi Kato is a notable inventor based in Tokyo, Japan. He has made significant contributions to the field of inkjet printing technology. With a total of 4 patents to his name, Kato has developed innovative solutions that enhance the performance and efficiency of printing systems.
Latest Patents
One of Kato's latest patents is the "Deflection Control Ink Jet Printing Apparatus." This invention is designed to compensate for dislocation of dots at all deflection steps. It adjusts the deflection amount with respect to two points to establish a correlation between amplification gain, charge code, and deflection amount. This ensures that an amplification gain and charge code free from dislocation is set for each deflection step. Additionally, a charge code compensation value is detected and adjusted to optimize the charge voltage code assigned to each deflection step during printout operations.
Another significant patent is the "Multicolor Ink Jet Recording Apparatus Having Means for Preventing." This apparatus allows an inkjet head to print images by superposing individual dot matrices of at least two colors. The computing unit receives electrical input signals representing the image and generates corresponding electrical signals for the head means to print. The matrix generator ensures that the total number of dots printed in all matrices is limited to a predetermined value, enhancing the quality and efficiency of the printing process.
