A conductive leather with high conductivity and durability and a steering wheel with such conductive leather. The conductive leather includes a coating layer formed of a base coat layer and a top coat layer, both made up of resin based materials. The top coat layer includes a first top coat layer formed on the base coat and a second top coat layer formed on the first top coat layer. The resin based material used in the second top coat layer is a crosslinked resin and the resin based material used in the first top coat layer is non-crosslinked resin. At least one of the first top coat layer and the second top coat layer includes carbon-based conductive particles.

A generating unit generates second model-specific data defining a performance of a target machine based on first model-specific data. An irreversible unit realizes an irreversible state in which a transition is possible from a second state to a first state, but not from the first state to the second state. A setting unit sets a state of the irreversible unit based on a result of comparison between the first model-specific data with the second model specific data by a comparing unit. A performance determining unit determines the performance of the target machine based on the first model-specific data, the second model-specific data, and the state of the irreversible unit.

An image forming apparatus includes a volatile memory configured to temporarily store usage information of the image forming apparatus, and a non-volatile memory configured to finally store the usage information. An access control device is provided to access the non-volatile memory and output at least an address, data, and a control signal thereto as private use signals independent from a control of the CPU. The access control device may copy the usage information of the non-volatile memory to the volatile memory before image formation is started, and periodically update the non-volatile memory with new usage information temporarily stored in the volatile memory during the image formation.

An image forming apparatus can reduce a system return time by reducing a time required for initialization of peripheral control integrated circuits according to a control program and achieves a low-power consumption so as to improve convenience for a user. A CPU performs a control of the image forming apparatus. A control bus for address and data is controlled by the CPU. A memory is connected to the control bus and is configured to store a control program of the CPU. A reset IC initializes the CPU when a power is turned on. A peripheral control ASIC controls each part of the image forming apparatus in accordance with an instruction of the CPU. An exclusive control bus is connected to the peripheral control ASIC. An operation of the exclusive control bus is started according to an input from the reset IC so as to perform an initializing process of the peripheral control ASIC.
摘要:
An electronic apparatus in which program switching can be easily carried out between an IC card and a flash ROM is provided. The IC card can be used commonly for downloading and option programs. In this electronic apparatus, a first program is stored in the flash ROM, while a second program is stored in the IC card. The IC card is detachably connected by an IC card connector. The CPU carries out either the first program or the second program in accordance with memory maps having the addresses of the flash ROM and the IC card logically arranged. By interchanging the addresses of the flash ROM and the IC card, either the first program and the second program is selected and supplied to the CPU.

A 4-wheel drive vehicle has a driving force control method in which a portion of a driving force for front wheels is distributed to rear wheels through clutches. In a 4-wheel drive state in which a driving force T.sub.p is distributed to rear wheels, for example, if the vehicle is turned leftwards to generate a difference W.sub.R -W.sub.L between left and right rear wheel speeds, it is ensured that a driving force T.sub.R distributed to the right rear wheel, which is an outer wheel during turning of the vehicle, is larger than a driving force T.sub.L distributed to the left rear wheel, which is an inner wheel during turning of the vehicle, thereby providing an enhancement in turning performance. As the difference W.sub.R -W.sub.L between the left and right rear wheel speeds is increased as a result of decreasing of the turning radius of the vehicle, the driving force T.sub.P (=T.sub.L +T.sub.R) distributed to the rear wheels is decreased to avoid an increase in travel resistance. Thus, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of problems such as a deterioration of specific fuel consumption, an abnormal sound generated in a drive system and an increase in the load of the drive system due to an increase in travel resistance during turning of the vehicle.

A process cartridge is mountable to an image forming system and includes an image bearing member; a developing bias contact for applying a developing bias to a developing device; an earthing contact for earthing the image bearing member; and a charging bias contact for applying a charging bias to a charging device. The developing bias contact, the earthing contact, and the charging bias contact are arranged in an area corresponding to an end portion of the image bearing member in a longitudinal direction of the image bearing member, such that (i) the developing bias contact is arranged at a first side of the image bearing member in a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the image bearing member, and (ii) the earthing contact and the charging bias contact are arranged at a second side of the image bearing member in the orthogonal direction.
