摘要:
A molded resin complex is provided including a first resin molded product and a second resin molded product engaged with each other so as to be separable. The first resin molded product is obtained by molding a first resin having transparency with respect to laser light, the second resin molded product is obtained by molding a second resin pervious to laser light, and the first resin molded product and the second resin molded product are engaged with each other so as to be separable by one or more protrusions of the second resin molded product which are formed by applying laser light from the first resin molded product side while placing the first resin molded product and the second resin molded product either in a close state or in a contact state.
摘要:
To provide a cartridge and a toner container each of which does not increase a material cost and is excellent in impact resistance against, for example, a vibration or a fall, the impact resistance being a needed function. The cartridge and the toner container each include a first part molded out of a laser light absorptive styrene resin composition and a second part molded out of a laser light transmissive styrene resin composition, the first part and the second part being joined with each other by laser welding. In each of the cartridge and the toner container, the transmittance of each of the parts is adjusted depending on, for example, the particle size and amount of rubber in each of the styrene resin compositions, or the kind of a flame retardant in each of the compositions.
摘要:
A method of detecting a developer remaining amount for successively detecting the remaining amount of a developer used for developing an electrostatic latent image formed on an electrophotographic photosensitive member, the method including successively detecting the remaining amount of developer based on a period of time for which a light is blocked by a developer carried by a developer carrying member, wherein the developer is carried by the developer carrying member to a position in which the developer blocks the light that has entered a developer containing portion from a first light transmission opening of said a developer containing portion for containing the developer when the light transmitted from the first light transmission opening to an inside of the developer containing portion is transmitted from a second light transmission opening of the developer containing portion to an outside of the developer containing portion.
摘要:
An output apparatus comprises a recording sheet conveying section having two feeder portions; a reader section for reading information which has been outputted onto a recording sheet; and an output section for outputting information onto a recording sheet. The apparatus determines whether a sheet set in a feeder portion is a print sheet or an original document, and performs reading and/or recording in accordance with the determination and/or an application being executed. The apparatus further has a memory for storing information which has been outputted onto a sheet and a comparator for comparing the information stored in the memory with the information read from the sheet by the reading section. Based on the comparison, the apparatus determines a proper manner (i.e., proper output position and orientation of the data) to output information onto the other side of the sheet, and also selects information to be outputted.
