摘要:
The present invention provides a toner recycling control system which stably feeds a liquid developer of an appropriate concentration to a liquid developing apparatus employing a high-viscosity liquid developer; appropriately adjusts the concentration of residual developer collected after development and after transfer; and feeds the adjusted developer to the developing apparatus. The toner recycling control system collects a post-development residual developer from a developer-bearing body and a post-transfer residual developer from an image-bearing body; performs developer concentration adjustment to yield an adjusted developer; and feeds the adjusted developer back to the developer-bearing body. Thus, the toner recycling control system includes a concentration adjustment tank which stores the collected developer and is replenished with a concentrated developer and carrier liquid for developer concentration adjustment; and a buffer tank which receives and stores a liquid developer which has undergone concentration adjustment in the concentration adjustment tank. Once adjusted to an appropriate concentration, the liquid developer is fed to the developer-bearing body from the buffer tank.

A simple culture medium produced by impregnating a fibrous water-absorbent sheet with a suspension formed by suspending in an alcohol (a) an adhesive (0.01-0.4 wt. %) which is soluble in both water and alcohol, (b) a gelling agent which is soluble in water and insoluble in alcohol, and (c) a bacterial nutritive ingredient, the fibrous water-absorbent sheet having a mesh larger than the particle size of the gelling agent and being placed on a waterproof flat plate, and by drying the resultant sheet while suppressing rapid evaporation of the alcohol, to thereby cause the water-absorbent sheet to adhere onto the waterproof flat plate; and a method for producing the medium.

A wiring tool (10) includes a base (1) and a cover (2) each of which is a plate with projections and recesses. The base (1) has partition walls (12A, 12B) standing from a wiring portion (11) to surround protection spaces (90A, 90B) where protected portions (41, 42) are to be arranged. The cover (2) is assembled with the base (1) to cover an area of the base (1) including the wiring portion (11). The cover (2) includes lids (24) that project toward the base (1) and fit into the inner sides of the partition walls (12A, 12B) of the base (1) to close openings formed by the partition walls (12A, 12B). The base (1) and the cover (2) are obtained by vacuum forming a flat resin plate.

A scanner device includes a scanner body formed with a document insertion opening and a document ejection opening and is configured so that an document taken in from the document insertion opening is read and then ejected from the document ejection opening. The scanner device further includes an upper surface cover covering the upper surface of the scanner body and a front surface cover covering the front surface of the scanner body. The front cover is connected at a lower end side thereof to the lower front part of the scanner body and connected at an upper end side thereof to pivotably connected to the front end side of the upper surface cover. By opening the front surface cover from the front surface of the scanner body, the upper surface cover and front surface cover form a document ejection tray.
摘要:
A device for easily determining whether a rare short circuit, which results from the generation of heat exceeding a predetermined value, has occurred in a load circuit. The device includes a fuse for detecting a load current that flows through the load circuit and generates a detection signal. A determination circuit is connected to the fuse to determine whether a rare short circuit has occurred. The determination circuit calculates one of a first parameter and a second parameter based on the detection signal. The first parameter relates to a first time period during which the load current exceeds a predetermined reference current value. The second parameter relates to a second time period during which the load current is less than or equal to the predetermined reference current value. The determination circuit cumulates one of the parameters every predetermined time interval to calculate a cumulative parameter value and determines whether a rare short circuit has occurred based on the cumulative parameter value.

A moving image coding method includes a first coding section, a decoding section and a second coding section. The first coding section compression-codes a moving image signal in a first time (T) and outputs the results as a coded moving image signal of a first information amount (V), and also obtains control information. The decoding section decodes the coded moving image signal coded by the first coding section and outputs the results as a decoded moving image signal. The second coding section compression-codes the decoded moving image signal from the decoding section based on the control information obtained by the first coding section and a set second information amount (R) and outputs the results as a coded moving image signal of the second information amount (R). The control information includes: the first information amount (V); a plurality of second times (Tr) obtained by dividing the first time (T); and a third information amount (Vi) as the information amount of a coded moving image signal output from the first coding section during each of the plurality of second times (Tr).
摘要:
An electrode module in the form of a flexible sheet which contacts with a toner layer and to which a bias voltage is applied is provided on a developing roller before development. The electrode module is adapted to separate the toner layer largely into a toner-rich layer and a carrier-rich layer by utilizing electrical migration occurring in the toner layer when an electric field is applied to the toner layer on the basis of the bias voltage. The electrode module is constructed in such a manner that the sheet is pulled toward a surface of the developer bearer body by a force attributable to surface tension or wetting characteristic of the liquid developer existing between the sheet and the developer carrying body, whereby the sheet comes into contact with the surface of the developer bearer body. This electrode construction increases the contact area or nip width of a bias blade provided for the developing roller and enhances its contact stability.
摘要:
In a video signal recording/reproducing apparatus, a video signal is subjected to bit rate reduction including a variable length processing to obtain a coded data. The coded data is separated into basic data which shows a basic construction of a video image and has a fixed data length and additional data which shows detailed information of the video image and has a variable data length. In recording the coded data containing basic data and additional data on a recording medium, the basic data is recorded in one region on the recording medium and the additional data is recorded continuously in a region other than the basic data recording region, by which both data are recorded in separated regions on the recording medium.
