摘要:
A rollers separating unit which controls a distance between a heating roller and a pressurizing roller of a fixing unit by an opening/closing of a side cover. The rollers separating unit includes an elastic support member rotatably hinge-coupled to one side of a housing of a fixing unit, to elastically support a roller installed at an outer portion of a main body between a pair of rollers so that the pair of rollers pressurize each other, a first lever rotatably hinge-coupled to one end of the elastic support member, to rotate the elastic support member at a first predetermined angle so that the pair of rollers are separated from each other, and a side cover rotatably hinge-coupled to one side of the main body, to increase a distance between the pair of rollers by operating the first lever.

An image forming apparatus includes a heat roller heated to a preset temperature; a pressure roller for having conductivity and forming a nip by pressure-contacting with the heat roller; a power supply unit to apply a bias voltage to the pressure roller; and a controller to, when a printing paper enters the nip, control the power supply unit to apply the bias voltage to the pressure roller. When a time interval is longer than a preset time, the controller can control the power supply unit not to apply the bias voltage when the printing paper is not placed in the nip, and when the time interval is shorter than the preset time, the controller can control the power supply unit to apply the bias voltage when the printing paper is not placed in the nip.

An apparatus and method of controlling the temperature of an image fixing unit having a developer fixed on a recording medium under a predetermined temperature in an image forming apparatus is provided. The temperature of the image fixing unit is set to one of a plurality of different temperatures stored in a controller of the image forming apparatus depending on an printing operation status of the image forming apparatus. The image fixing unit is heated and warmed-up to a predetermined ready temperature. If a print command is not received until the warm-up is completed, the ready temperature is maintained. The printing operation starts upon completion of the warm-up if the print command is received before the warm-up is completed. The temperature of the image fixing unit for the printing operation is set to a normal temperature during printing a first sheet, and the temperature of the image fixing unit for the printing operation of a second sheet of paper is set to a higher temperature higher than the normal temperature. If the print command is received while the ready temperature is maintained after the warm-up, the printing operation is performed with a lower temperature lower than the normal image fixing temperature.

A fixing apparatus for a printer includes a paper separating unit. The fixing apparatus also includes a heating unit which fixes an image on paper by heating paper passing through a developing unit, a pressing unit which contacts the heating unit, presses paper passing through an interface with the heating unit and helps to fix the image on the paper, and a paper separating unit which includes a separation member having a sharp end contacting the heating unit to separate paper, an arm member having one end to which the separation member is attached and pivots, centering on a hinge shaft at a predetermined angle, and an elastic member which is connected to the other end of the arm member and applies an elastic force so that the arm member is maintained in a correct position.

A fusing apparatus to fuse a toner image transferred to a printing medium by applying heat and pressure. The fusing apparatus includes a separation member that is rotatably mounted on a rotation axis to separate the printing medium from one of a heating roller and a pressing roller. The separation member includes a hollow portion into which the rotation axis is inserted, and a separation portion that contacts an outer circumference of the heating roller. The separation member is installed so as to be pitched around the rotation axis and a pitching axis having an inclination angle within a range of ±10° with respect to a line that connects a contact point between the separation portion and the outer circumference of the roller from which the printing medium is to be separated and a center of the roller from which the printing medium is to be separated.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for inhibiting the induction of cell death by inhibiting the synthesis or secretion of AGE-albumin in cells of the mononuclear phagocyte system, to an AGE-albumin synthesis inhibitor, and to a pharmaceutical composition comprising the AGE-albumin synthesis inhibitor for preventing or treating degenerative disease and autoimmune disease. The AGE-albumin of the present invention is synthesized and secreted in human microglia or human macrophages in an Alzheimer's model, stroke model, Parkinson's disease model and rheumatoid arthritis model. The AGE-albumin synthesis and secretion are caused by oxidative stress. The expression of RAGE increases in first-order human neurons or cartilage cells to which AGE-albumin is administered, whereupon a MAPK signaling pathway is activated and the expression of Bax increases to induce an increase in calcium in mitochondria, thus finally inducing cell death. Therefore, the AGE-albumin synthesis inhibitor of the present invention can be valuably used in the diagnosis or treatment of degenerative diseases or autoimmune diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, strokes, Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetic retinopathy, AIDS, aging, pulmonary fibrosis, spinal cord injuries, etc.
