20100215410 | Developer regulating member, developing device, image forming apparatus and manufacturing method of developer regulating member - A developer regulating member regulates a thickness of a layer of a developer on a surface of a developer bearing body. The developer has a degree of circularity in a range from 0.94 to 0.97. The developer regulating member includes a resilient plate member composed of a metal material and having a bent portion. An outer surface of the bent portion contacts the surface of the developer bearing body so that a ridge line of the outer surface of the bent portion crosses a moving direction of the surface of the developer bearing body. A curvature radius R (μm) of the outer surface of the bent portion and a mean crystal grain diameter D (μm) of the metal material satisfy the relationship: | 08-26-2010 |
20100316775 | METHOD OF PRODUCING CORAL POWDER - A coral is washed with purified water or tap water, and a crushed coral is heat-treated. Proteins and other organic matter are incorporated between calcium molecules in the coral skeleton, and the organic matter is decomposed and released as volatile components. In the skeleton from which organic matter is released, a calcium skeleton having a porous structure is formed, and the surface area of pores is increased. A hydrogen gas can be retained in the structure by adsorbing a hydrogen gas to the pores in such a calcium skeleton a porous structure (micropores). The resulting coral powder, with which ions dissolved in water are easily extracted, shows a low oxidation reduction potential when dissolved in water. | 12-16-2010 |
20110052273 | IMAGE FORMING DEVICE AND DEVELOPING DEVICE - A developing device that is provided in an image forming device that forms an image includes an image carrier on which an electrostatic latent image is formed; a developer carrier that forms a developer image on a surface of the image carrier by attaching a developer on the electrostatic latent image; a supplying member that supplies the developer to the developer carrier by contacting the developer carrier, and that scrapes the developer remaining on the surface of the developer carrier from the developer carrier, and a deformation amount between the developer carrier and the supplying member is individually configured corresponding to a location where the developing device is provided in the image forming device. | 03-03-2011 |
20110129254 | Neutralization device, developing device and image forming apparatus - A neutralization device includes a light emitter, an optical conductor and multiple diffusion portions. The light emitter emits light for neutralizing an object. The optical conductor, which is opposed to the object and extends in a longitudinal direction, directs and applies the light to the object. The diffusion portions are arranged on the optical conductor in a zig-zag manner from one end of the optical conductor to the other and diffuse the light. | 06-02-2011 |
20110217084 | DEVELOPING DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A developing device includes a developer bearing body, a first developer supply member, a second developer supply member, and a compression member. The developer bearing body bears a developer. The first developer supply member supplies the developer to the developer bearing body. The second developer supply member moves the developer in the vicinity of the first developer supply member to the first developer supply member. The compression member opposes, and is out of contact with, the first developer supply member. The compression member also directs the developer moved by the second developer supply member to the first developer supply member, and compresses the developer between the first developer supply member and the compression member. | 09-08-2011 |
20130142547 | IMAGE FORMING DEVICE AND DEVELOPING DEVICE - A developing device that is provided in an image forming device that forms an image includes an image carrier on which an electrostatic latent image is formed; a developer carrier that is configured to form a developer image on a surface of the image carrier by attaching developer on the electrostatic latent image; and a contact member that is configured to contact the developer carrier. The contact member contacts the developer carrier and exerts a contact pressure per unit area thereon, the contact pressure per unit area being based on charging characteristics of the developer being used. | 06-06-2013 |
20140037313 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - An image forming apparatus according to the invention comprises a light source for emitting light in accordance with printing data, an image carrier carrying on a surface thereof a latent image based on the emitted light out of the light source, a developer carrier for developing the latent image carried on the image carrier, a supply member for supplying a developer to the developer carrier, and a controller for controlling a voltage between the developer carrier and the supply member in accordance with a light emitting amount of the light source at a prescribed use amount, for suppressing occurrences of image failures even where using different developers. | 02-06-2014 |

20080212938 | Computer readable storage medium storing video contents display program and video contents display apparatus - A contents display control means displays video contents in a contents display screen area, a virtual space display control means displays a two-dimensional or a three-dimensional virtual space and an object appearing in the two-dimensional or the three-dimensional virtual space in a virtual space display screen area, and a motion control means controls, when the video contents is displayed in the contents display screen area, a motion of the object, with reference to additional information of the video contents and motion control information specifying the motion of the object when the additional information satisfies a certain condition. Accordingly, a novel video contents display method can be provided with the use of the additional information multiplexed into the video contents. | 09-04-2008 |
20090257561 | GENERAL IMAGING SYSTEM - To automate positioning operation of an X-ray tube so as to reduce the inspection time. Anatomical program selection means selects a surgery method/imaging object portion so that an imaging condition stored as an anatomical program in advance is called out and set in an X-ray generation device. Here, when an operation switch is pressed, control means moves drive means built in X-ray irradiation means parallel movement holding means and X-ray irradiation means rotation holding means so as to obtain the positional relationship between an X-ray tube and an FPD stored in correspondence with the anatomical program (such as SID and incident angle). The position of the FPD should be matched with the examinee. However, since the positional relationship between the X-ray tube and the FPD is almost constant in accordance with the surgery method/imaging object portion, it is possible to reduce the time required for positioning the X-ray tube by using this configuration. | 10-15-2009 |
