There was a logical progression of technology development from continuous to piezoelecttic ink jet. Designers of continuous ink-jet systems ensure that the ink stream breaks into drops of constant size and frequency by applying vibrational energy with piezoelecttic crystals at the natural frequency of drop formation. This overcomes the effects of any random forces from noise, vibrations, or air currents. 

When the NRC, headquartered in Rockville, Maryland, took over the responsibiUties of the AEC in 1974, many of the AEC s research and development functions, particularly many covering new technology development and nuclear weapons production, were assumed by the U.S. Department of Energy. However, the NRC has maintained some research and developmental capabiUties which are handled by the NRC s Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research.
