摘要:
A downsized chip antenna having a large bandwidth ratio is disclosed. The chip antenna has a rectangular prism-shaped base member providing a mounting surface. A conductor is formed inside the base member in such a manner that it is spirally wound around a winding axis, for example, a winding axis parallel to the mounting surface, i.e., in the longitudinal direction of the base member. One end of the conductor is extended to a surface of the base member to form a feeding section, which is connected to a feeding terminal, disposed over the surfaces of the base member to apply voltage to the conductor. In one embodiment, the other end of the conductor is connected to a midway portion of the conductor within the base member, thereby forming a loop in said conductor.

A surface mounting type antenna system 10 is formed by spirally winding a conductor 14 made of copper or copper alloy, with a power supply member 12 provided at one end of the conductor 14, the other end thereof being a free end 13, on the edge faces of a rectangular parallelepiped as a dielectric substrate 11 by printing, deposition, pasting or plating. The dielectric substrate 11 is prepared by stacking a plurality of layers of ceramics, resin or a combination of ceramics and resin. On the underside 111 of the dielectric substrate 11 lies a power supply terminal 15 to which the power supply member 12 of the conductor 14 is connected. The power supply terminal 15 is simultaneously used as a fixing terminal for securing the surface mounting type antenna system 10 to, for example, a mounting board. Moreover, the conductor 14 squarely intersecting the axis C of the conductor winding is rectangular in transverse cross section having a width of w and a length of l.

In a fixing apparatus and an image forming apparatus of the present invention, an external heating section is provided that includes: an external heating belt; two heat rollers suspending the external heating belt and pressed against a fixing roller via the external heating belt; and a release/contact mechanism for causing the two heat rollers to separate from or contact with the fixing roller. With the heat rollers separated from the fixing roller by the release/contact mechanism, the external heating belt and the fixing roller are in contact with each other and the external heating belt follows rotation of the fixing roller. As a result, a fixing apparatus is provided that includes an external release/contact mechanism that can quickly operate in a small space and at low power without encouraging deterioration of the belt member. An image forming apparatus provided with such a fixing apparatus is also provided.
摘要:
A chip antenna capable of reducing the spiral pitch of an antenna line to be smaller than that of a conventional one. Conductor patterns are electrically connected sequentially in series through via holes so as to form a spiral antenna line. The antenna line has a winding axis which is arranged either in a zigzag manner or along a straight line. Adjacent wound portions have an equal diameter or width or the adjacent portions may have unequal widths. Since adjacent via holes are arranged in a staggered arrangement with each other, the distance between the adjacent via holes is larger than the spiral pitch of the antenna line, allowing the adjacent portions to be closer together than a conventional chip antenna, thereby allowing the resonance frequency to be reduced.

The average friction factor between the contact surfaces of a drive roller and an intermediate transfer belt is set to not more than 0.45 and not less than 0.1, and before the primary transfer of the toner image of the last color is finished, a cleaning blade is separated from or comes into contact with the intermediate transfer belt with the drive roller as a backup member. The peripheral length of a photoconductor is greater by not more than 10% than the value obtained by dividing the length on a transfer member necessary for a predetermined image length by an integer n which is not less than 3 and not more than 9, and the ratio between the numbers of rotations of the transfer member and the photoconductor is 1:n.

An image forming apparatus includes a photoconductor, a developing electrode, at least a magnet disposed in the developing electrode, and a developer. The developing electrode is reciprocally movable against a rotation axis of the photoconductor. Thus, a setting angle of a magnetic pole of the magnet is not varied, even when the developing electrode is moved for cancelling decentering and deflection of the photoconductor and the developing electrode.

Disclosed is an electrophotographic apparatus capable of producing a high-quality image free from image defects such as fine line dropouts. A photoconductor drum is used that has a magnet mounted therein in immovable fashion. After an electrostatic latent image is formed, the image is brought into contact with magnetic developer in a developer reservoir, causing the developer to be attracted to the photoconductor surface by magnetic force. When the photoconductor drum is rotated past an electrode roller to which an AC voltage is applied, toner is left only in image areas and the latent image is developed into a visible image. A sheet-like sealing member contacting the photoconductor is disposed on the upstream side of the developer reservoir in the rotating direction of the photoconductor drum. A conductive layer is provided on the surface of the sealing member opposite the surface thereof contacting the photoconductor.

An antenna for receiving electromagnetic waves in a desired frequency band, includes a radiating conductor and a ground conductor, a feeder part, a wavelength-shortening section, and a magnetic field applying section. The radiating conductor and a ground conductor resonate at a resonance point frequency. The feeder part is configured to feed the radiating conductor with electricity. The wavelength-shortening section in which a magnetic body having both a dielectric property and a magnetic property is disposed close to the radiating conductor shifts the resonance point frequency into a band lower than the desired frequency band by a wavelength-shortening effect obtained based on the dielectric property and the magnetic property. The magnetic field applying section is configured to apply a magnetic field to the magnetic body so as to reduce a magnetic loss due to the magnetic body.
摘要:
When an image forming apparatus, after a feeding error of a recording material occurs in a fixing device, re-forms on the recording material an image corresponding to image data which image was formed on a sheet which caused the feeding error, an image forming condition is caused to be different from an operation condition used when the feeding error has occurred. This makes it possible to prevent a JAM corresponding to the same image from recurring in the fixing device.
