| 20090121208 | NONVOLATILE SEMICONDUCTOR MEMORY DEVICE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME - A nonvolatile semiconductor memory device comprises a plurality of first lines; a plurality of second lines crossing the plurality of first lines; a plurality of memory cells each connected at an intersection of the first and second lines between both lines and including a variable resistor operative to store information in accordance with a variation in resistance; and a protection film covering the side of the variable resistor to suppress migration of cations at the side of the variable resistor. | 05-14-2009 |
| 20090189963 | LIQUID CONTAINER - A liquid container includes a housing having a supply port leading out liquid contained in the housing, a spring member configured to generate a negative pressure, a flexible member joined to the housing to form a liquid chamber, a plate member disposed between the flexible film and the spring member, a lid member configured to cover the flexible member and secured to the housing, and a rib member movably disposed in a space surrounded by the lid member and the flexible member and configured to regulate the shape of the flexible member and the position of the plate member. | 07-30-2009 |
| 20090244217 | INK CONTAINER AND INK JET RECORDING SYSTEM - An ink container for retaining ink includes an ink containing body, an elastically displaceable supporting member, a light emitting portion, a light receiving portion for receiving light from the light emitting portion, a display portion for displaying the received light, and a light guide portion for optically connecting the light receiving portion and the display portion so as to guide the light received by the receiving portion to the display portion. The supporting member at least partly functions as the light guide portion. The light receiving portion is located, with a gap with respect to the light emitting portion, so as to cover the light emitting portion. The light receiving portion approaches the light emitting portion when the supporting member approaches the ink containing body by being subjected to urging toward the ink containing body. The light receiving portion moves apart from the light emitting portion when the supporting member moves apart from the ink containing body by being released from the urging toward the ink containing body. | 10-01-2009 |
| 20100020141 | INK TANK AND RECORDING APPARATUS - An ink tank includes a stirrer supported in a freely moveable manner near an inner wall of an ink storage chamber. When the stirrer moves closest to the inner wall, a predetermined gap is formed between opposing surfaces of the inner wall and the stirrer. | 01-28-2010 |
| 20100053280 | INK TANK - An ink tank containing ink including a pigment component effectively prevents a problem that an ink having a higher concentration and including a sedimentary pigment is led out, even in a case where the ink tank is left unused on a printing apparatus for a long time. To this end, an ink leading-out port placed in an ink containing chamber, and used to supply the ink to a printing head is located higher than a lowermost portion of the ink containing chamber, and is also formed in an inclined surface inclined to a gravitational direction. Thereby, the sedimentary pigment slides the inclined surface, and thus is settled down in a position away from the ink leading-out port. | 03-04-2010 |
