Liquid Discharge Apparatus Includes Suction Unit to Suck Cap Through Fluid Passage
What is this invention?
Liquid discharge apparatus, imprint apparatus, and method
A liquid discharge apparatus found
With a cap, suction and filter around
When the negative pressure stops
Open/close unit pops
And discharges the liquid abound
Canon Kabushiki Kaisha has just unveiled their latest innovation: a liquid discharge apparatus. This revolutionary new device is designed to make the process of discharging liquids much easier and more efficient. The apparatus includes a discharge head, cap, suction unit, open/close unit, and filter – all working together to ensure that liquids are discharged in an effective manner. The suction unit works by sucking air out of the interior of the cap while it caps the discharge portion. This creates a negative pressure state which allows for better control over how quickly or slowly liquids are discharged from the device. Additionally, an open/close unit is set in an open state when this negative pressure state is canceled so that no additional air can enter into the system and interfere with its operation. Finally, a filter is arranged within the second fluid passage so as to further optimize performance and reduce any potential contamination issues associated with discharging liquids. This innovative liquid discharge apparatus from Canon Kabushiki Kaisha will be sure to revolutionize how we approach liquid-based tasks across many industries!
The liquid discharge apparatus includes a discharge head including a discharge portion configured to discharge a liquid, a cap configured to cap the discharge portion, a suction unit configured to suck an interior of the cap through a first fluid passage communicating with the interior of the cap in a state in which the cap caps the discharge portion, an open/close unit configured to open/close a second fluid passage communicating with the interior of the cap, and a filter arranged in the second fluid passage. The open/close unit is set in an open state when a negative pressure state of the interior of the cap, which is generated by suction by the suction unit, is canceled.

Easy way to prevent car skidding with cooperative control of in-wheel motor
What is this invention?
Method of controlling braking when steering in-wheel motor vehicle
There once was a method of steering
That kept the tires from skidding and veering
It monitored the rotation,
To prevent vehicle commotion
And reduced any load that it was fearing
Driving safety is always a top priority, and Hyundai Motor Company has just released an innovative new method to help keep drivers safe. The Method of Controlling Braking when Steering an In-Wheel Motor Vehicle monitors the required tire rotation angle for each steering angle and compares it with the actual tire rotation angle to detect any discrepancies. If any are found, then a vehicle braking force is generated to prevent skidding or other dangerous conditions from occurring. This technology offers drivers improved control over their vehicles and enhanced peace of mind while on the road.
The method of controlling braking when steering an in-wheel motor vehicle includes monitoring a required tire rotation angle for each steering angle and an actual tire rotation angle when performing cooperative control of an in-wheel motor for reducing a steering load, and generating a vehicle braking force in a case where the actual tire rotation angle exceeds the required tire rotation angle. This prevents a vehicle-skidding phenomenon, which can be difficult to prevent with traditional methods.
