An inverter system which converts DC input into AC output and supplies the AC output to a load such as an FL tube detects change in a circuit current due to anomaly such as discharge without contacting with a current route. Relating to an inverter which converts DC input into AC output and supplies the AC output to a load, change in a circuit current of the inverter is detected through the medium of magnetic flux change due to the change in the circuit current caused by discharge. For example, if change in a current occurs in the circuit current of the inverter by disconnection discharge or ground-fault discharge occurring in a current route including a load of the inverter, magnetic flux change occurs in circuit wiring and a space of a core gap of a transformer of the inverter. The change in the circuit current is detected through the medium of the magnetic flux change without contacting with the circuit wiring or the transformer.

In a clock management apparatus for a synchronous network system, when the quality of a clock signal is deteriorated, the clock signal is switched to another clock signal automatically to continue synchronous communication. Clock signals are received and extracted by transmission/receiving units of the synchronous network system. A plurality of clock signals including the extracted clock signals and a clock signal from an external clock are selectively switched by a clock switching unit, and a master clock signal is selected and output based on quality information transferred with each clock signal. The master clock signal is applied to a clock generator generate a clock signal. A quality control table is used to convert quality information into associated quality levels. A quality determination processing unit issues an alarm when the quality level of the master clock signal is deteriorated beyond a threshold provided by a synchronization management table.

An image-forming apparatus includes an image-bearing device that holds an electrostatic latent image and a toner image thereon, and a developer container that contains and agitates a developer having at least a toner. The image-forming apparatus also includes a developer-bearing device that carries the developer to develop the electrostatic latent image on the image-bearing device, and a density sensor that detects an optical density of a surface of the image-bearing device and a toner image on the image-bearing device. Further, the image-forming apparatus includes a developer seal that seals the developer in the developer container, wherein the seal is disposed between the developer container and the developer-bearing device, and an actuator configured to actuate the developer container and the developer-bearing device. The image-forming apparatus still further includes a control device that determines whether the developer seal is removed according to information on the optical density of the toner image output by the density sensor.
摘要:
An auxiliary anode (30) having a ring-shaped permanent magnet (31) is placed in a vacuum chamber (11) such that the auxiliary anode is coaxial with a central axis of a hearth (20) and is positioned so as to surround an upper area of the hearth. A plasma beam generated by a plasma beam generator (13) using arc discharge is guided into the hearth. Magnesium (Mg) is used as a vaporization material on the hearth. Gas mixed with oxygen is supplied into the vacuum chamber. As a result, magnesium oxide particles sublimated from the hearth react with oxygen plasma generated by the plasma to form a magnesium oxide (MgO) film on a substrate (40).

摘要:
An image forming apparatus includes an image bearing member, a latent image forming device that forms a latent image on the image bearing member, a developing device that develops latent image on said image bearing member to a toner image with a two-component developer, and a toner density detecting device that detects toner density of the two-component developer in which the toner image is formed and outputted as a visible image onto a transfer member. A control device is provided for agitating the developer for a predetermined time period during an initial setting is performed for the developer, detecting a toner density of said developer after the predetermined agitation, and performing an abnormal process when a result of the detection is out of the predetermined range. A corresponding method recovers from a deterioration of an amount of charge of the toner and decreased bulk of the developer, and includes the steps of detecting a developer amount with an unused-state detection switch, detecting an output value of a toner density detecting sensor, agitating the developer, measuring an agitating time period, stopping the agitating operation indicating warning, and indicating error message.
