Abstract:
In a mobile terminal of the present invention, when the finger of a user is approaching a touch panel, an estimation coordinate as a position of the finger and an estimation distance as a distance between the finger and the touch panel are determined based on a capacitance value between the finger and the touch panel, and capacitance distribution data showing a distribution of the capacitance values is generated. When the capacitance distribution data is similar to set capacitance distribution data, an object icon, which is arranged in the estimation coordinate, of a plurality of icons displayed on the touch panel is displayed on the touch panel in a size larger than in a basic size. In this way, only when detecting that the finger of the user is approaching the touch panel, the icon which is displayed on the touch panel is displayed in an expansion state. Therefore, a malfunction can be prevented and the improvement of operability can be attempted to the user.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a substrate treatment apparatus which sets substrate loading intervals to treatment chambers to a fixed value and prevents the occurrence of stagnancy of substrates in the treatment chambers. The substrate treatment apparatus includes a substrate conveyance chamber 5 which has a substrate conveyance device 11, a plurality of treatment chambers 6 to 9 in which a treatment time of at least one treatment chamber differs from treatment times of other treatment chambers and the respective treatment chambers are communicated with the conveyance chamber, and a control part 12 which controls a conveyance operation of the substrate conveyance device by setting treatment schedules of the substrates. In sequentially treating a plurality of substrates by the treatment chambers based on the preset same treatment schedule, the control part, using a time corresponding to a sum of the treatment time of the treatment chamber having the longest treatment time out of the treatment chambers predetermined during the treatment schedule and conveyance times before and after the treatment time with respect to the treatment chamber as a reference substrate loading interval, sets the substrate loading interval of respective substrates to the firstly loaded treatment chamber.

Abstract:
A substrate processing apparatus, in which each process chamber has a different process time, loads substrates into the process chambers at fixed intervals and does not produce substrate dwell at the process chambers. It is equipped with a conveyor chamber forming a substrate convey space, a plurality of process chambers, each of which has a different substrate process time and in which substrate processing by each can be carried out in parallel and in which processing of a substrate is carried out by each in order, and substrate convey means provided in the conveyor chamber having the function of conveying substrates; also, with respect to one or more processes of conveying a substrate from one process chamber to another process chamber, with time intervals at which substrates are loaded into the same process chamber being fixed, and after processing of a substrate by one process chamber is finished the substrate is conveyed to another process chamber, a substrate convey control means controls the process of substrate convey by the substrate convey means so that compared to a standard convey time required for said convey process, a longer time is taken to complete the convey process.
Abstract:
A process cartridge and an image carrier supporter for use in an image forming apparatus. The image carrier supporter temporarily fixes an image carrier inside a process cartridge of an image forming apparatus. The image carrier supporter includes a penetration shaft, and first and second fixing members. The penetration shaft includes first and second ends, and penetrates through a center throughhole of the image carrier. The first and second fixing members are provided at the first and second ends, respectively, of the penetration shaft, and are configured to closely contact a circumferential inner surface of the image carrier and a frame of a process cartridge, respectively. The process cartridge is configured to be attachable to and detachable from the image forming apparatus, and includes a frame, the image carrier, the image carrier supporter, and a process mechanism configured to form an image on the image carrier.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus in which a visible image is transferred to a transfer material includes a pre-transfer exposing unit that makes only a portion of a latent image carrier that corresponds to a leading edge of the transfer material expose, and a transfer-bias applying unit that applies a bias for transferring the visible image. The transfer-bias applying unit starts applying the bias to the transfer material, at least step-by-step, when a predetermined time is passed from a point of time at which the leading edge of the transfer material comes into a contact with the latent image carrier by controlling the pre-transfer exposing unit and a bias applying timing of the transfer-bias applying unit.
Abstract:
A cleaning device for cleaning an image carrier by removing toner and other residues left thereon of the present invention includes a brush having tips, which contact the surface of the image carrier, provided with a loop configuration and a contact pressure of 50 g/cm2. A toner collecting space is located at a position adjacent to the brush and at which the tips of the brush contacted the surface of the image carrier arrive in accordance with the movement of the brush.
Abstract:
Provided is a pair of arc discharge suppressive terminals electrically communicable with each other by engagement of the terminal pair. At least one of the terminal pair has a final contact site which is in contact with the counterpart terminal at a final stage of disengagement of the terminal pair. At least the final contact site is covered with an arc discharge suppressive layer containing a first metal having a melting point of 1,550° C. or higher. It is preferable that the terminal pair contact with each other at a portion corresponding to a main contact site other than the arc discharge suppressive layer in a completely engaged state where the one of the terminal pair and the counterpart terminal are tightly engaged with each other. Preferably, the main contact site has a surface made of a material having a higher conductivity than the arc discharge suppressive layer. This arrangement effectively suppresses occurrence of arc discharge at a time of disengagement of the terminal pair.
