An opening and closing device includes an electrically conductive fixed body, a movable body, a drive motor, a speed control device, a detection assembly, and a determining device. The electrically conductive fixed body defines an opening portion therein. The movable body is displaceable between a full closed position and a full open position. The drive motor drives the movable body to open and close the opening portion of the fixed body. The detection assembly includes a sensor electrode. The determining device computes, as a detection value, a change amount of the capacitance at the sensor electrode per a predetermined constant measuring time based on the change of the capacitance detected by the sensor electrode. The determining device compares the detection value with a constant threshold value, and determines whether the object exists between the movable body and the periphery of the opening portion based on the comparison result.

Carbon nanotube structures are provided, in which the networks with a desired area and volume, where the carbon nanotubes are electrically or magnetically connected, are formed and the method for easily manufacturing the carbon nanotube structures with less carbon nanotube structures. Carbon nanotube devices are also provided, to which the useful carbon nanotube structures mentioned above are applied. A method for manufacturing carbon nanotube structures includes the steps of applying carbon nanotubes to a low-viscosity dispersion medium to obtain a high-viscosity dispersing liquid which includes carbon nanotubes, and forming a network of the carbon nanotubes having electrical and/or magnetic connections therebetween by removing the low-viscosity dispersion medium from the high-viscosity dispersed liquid.

Laser light output from a laser light source is irradiated onto a transmission-type scale. Due to movement of the transmission-type scale, a polarization angle of transmitted light varies in accordance with variations in orientations of half-wave plates arrayed in a longitudinal direction. It is difficult for the polarization angle to be affected by noise factors such as external light or the like. Light intensity of a polarized light component, which is transmitted through an analyzer and detected at a photo-detector, varies in accordance with the polarization angle. Thus, the light intensity varies as the transmission-type scale moves, and a detection signal is output to a movement amount computing device. When an amount of movement is computed on the basis of the signal, the exact amount of movement can be detected.

An output apparatus such as a printer comprises: a presumed time calculator to calculate a time which is needed to develop code data into output data corresponding to each segment among a plurality of segments constructing one and a determining circuit to determine whether the output data of the segment should previously be developed into a bit map image and stored or not on the basis of the presumed time and a time required to generate one page irrespective of the output data. The time required to generate one page relates to the paper feed speed.
摘要:
A machine for feeding sheets of paper or the like one after another, wherein until a sheet is nipped between a front feed roller and a friction plate, a sufficiently great pressure is maintained between the roller and the plate so as to prevent simultaneous nipping of two or more piled sheets, and once the sheet is nipped between the roller and the friction plate, the pressure therebetween is reduced so as to prevent the sheet from being wrinkled, ruptured or otherwise damaged while effecting smooth feeding of the sheet.
