摘要:
An image forming apparatus including a cleaning blade for cleaning a conveying belt or an intermediate transfer body, and a lubricating agent coating mechanism for coating a lubricating agent on the surface of the conveying belt or the intermediate transfer, body, wherein detection is made whether a conveying belt, an intermediate transfer body belt or a cleaning blade is a new article, and the lubricating agent coating mechanism is operated to coat the lubricating agent on the surface of the conveying belt or the intermediate transfer body. Further, detection is made of installation temperature and humidity of the image forming apparatus, and in case of under-prescribed environments, the lubricating agent coating mechanism is operated to coat the lubricating agent on the surface of the conveying belt or the intermediate transfer body. Thereby, the cleaning performance is improved, and the blade burring is prevented.
摘要:
The present invention provides a technique to accurately grasp a deterioration state of a development agent in a development device, in a development system which supplies a new development agent consisting of a toner and a carrier and discharges an deteriorated development agent to maintain a performance of a development agent in a development device.An image forming apparatus according to the present invention includes a stirring information obtaining section configured to obtain information of a stirring time of the development agent in the development device, a supply information obtaining section configured to obtain information of an amount of the carrier supplied into the development device, and a deterioration degree determining section configured to determine a deterioration degree of the development agent in the development device on the basis of the information obtained by the stirring information obtaining section and the supply information obtaining section.
摘要:
In an embodiment, a reducing plate that dams up a part of a developer scraped up by a blade is provided. The reducing plate suppresses swell of the developer held up by a discharge mixer from fluctuating according to the rotation of the blade. Fluctuation in an excess developer discharged from a discharge port is suppressed and replace a deteriorated carrier in a development container with a new carrier little by little.

In an embodiment, a contact pivoting plate, which comes into contact with a developer swelled by a discharge mixer, is provided in a case. The contact pivoting plate is pivoted according to a detection result of a temperature and humidity sensor to change the magnitude of resistance by the contact pivoting plate with respect to a flow of the developer. The height of the swell of the developer is suppressed from fluctuating according to an environmental change. The fluctuation in an amount of an excess developer discharged from a discharge port is suppressed to replace a deteriorated carrier in a development container with a new carrier little by little.
摘要:
There is provided a development apparatus which enables stable agitation and discharge of a developer from a developer discharge port, and an image forming apparatus including this development apparatus. The development apparatus which supplies the developer to a development roller and conveys the developer while agitating it, includes a developer path including a first path and a second path whose height is lower than the first path and which is continuous with the first path in a conveyance direction of the developer, and a conveying member which is provided in the developer path, includes a rotary shaft along the conveyance direction and a rotary blade spirally provided along an outer periphery of the rotary shaft, conveys the developer in the conveyance direction by rotating the rotary blade around the rotary shaft, and includes a first section which is a section overlapping with the first path and in which the rotary blade has a specified conveyance characteristic in the conveyance direction, and a second section which is a section overlapping with the second path in the conveyance direction and in which the conveyance characteristic of the rotary blade is different from that in the first section.

In order to obtain a quality image without deterioration owing to radiation noise in inspection using the optical video camera in high radiation environment, an inspection apparatus is formed of an image pick-up unit, an image obtaining unit which fetches a video image that contains a signal (noise) that is substantially independent of each frame obtained by the image pick-up unit, a local alignment unit which locally aligns frames with different time phases for forming the image fetched by the image obtaining unit, a frame synthesizing unit which synthesizes the plurality of frames aligned by the local alignment unit for generating a synthesis frame with an SN ratio higher than the SN ratio of the frame before frame synthesis, and an image output unit for displaying or recording the image formed of the synthesis frame generated by the frame synthesizing unit.
摘要:
A method includes providing a eukaryotic cell including mutant mtDNA in which there is at least one mutation in the mtDNA, allowing the cell to come into contact with an active oxygen species or a chemical species that generates such an active oxygen species in the cell (e.g., hydrogen peroxide) and thereby changing the percentage of mutant mtDNA (mitochondrial genomic DNA) in the cell as a result of the contact. Also featured are cells obtained by the above-described method.
