    摘要: An image forming apparatus is provided. The image forming apparatus includes an image bearer and a cleaning blade configured to remove toner particles remaining on the image bearer. The cleaning blade includes an elastic member in contact with a surface of the image bearer to remove the toner particles. The elastic member has a Martens hardness of from 3 to 8 N/mm2 when measured by a nanoindentation method with a load of 1 μN. The toner particles comprise toner base particles and an external additive, and the external additive comprise silica particles. A liberation ratio (Xs) of the silica particles liberated from the toner particles is from 40% to 75% when measured by an ultrasonic vibration method. A proportion (R70) of the silica particles having a volume-based particle diameter of 70 nm or more in the silica particles liberated from the toner particles is from 70% to 90% by number.

    摘要: When a capacity coefficient (Cre) of a torque converter is larger than or equal to a predetermined threshold (CreA), a speed ratio (e) is calculated on the basis of an actual power transmission efficiency (η) by referring to a predetermined unique relationship between a power transmission efficiency (η) and a speed ratio (e). Therefore, even in a second speed ratio variation range (R2) in which the capacity coefficient (Cre) is larger than or equal to the threshold (CreA) and the speed ratio (e) is not uniquely determined for the capacity coefficient (Cre), the speed ratio (e) is calculated using the unique relationship between the speed ratio (e) and the power transmission efficiency (η), so the speed ratio (e) may be calculated in all the speed ratio variation range of the torque converter.
