Application: Drive waveform creation method, information processing apparatus, and program (Patent ID: US20240198666A1)
The patent filed by Fujifilm Holdings Corp. describes a method for creating a drive waveform to efficiently eject liquid using a liquid ejection head with a piezoelectric element. The method involves predicting the flight of the liquid based on machine learning models trained with data related to the actual flight shape of the liquid when different drive waveforms are applied to the piezoelectric element. By determining a suitable drive waveform for liquid ejection based on these predictions, even technicians without professional knowledge can create effective drive waveforms.
The drive waveform creation method includes parameters such as pulse width, slope, pulse height, and pulse interval. The machine learning model compresses drive waveforms into a latent space for prediction, with the evaluation value based on the actual flight shape. The evaluation value can indicate droplet speed, amount, or the presence of satellite droplets. The method also involves generating unknown drive waveforms, calculating coordinates in the latent space, predicting evaluation values, and determining a drive waveform that meets target criteria. Additionally, an information processing apparatus executing this method includes processors and storage devices with the machine learning model, while a computer-readable recording medium contains a program for implementing the drive waveform creation method.
