An audio signal encoding apparatus includes a device for compressing multiple-channel digital audio signals into compression-resultant multiple-channel signals respectively. The multiple-channel digital audio signals relate to a sampling frequency and a quantization bit number. The compression-resultant multiple-channel signals, a signal representative of the sampling frequency, and a signal representative of the quantization bit number are formatted into a formatting-resultant signal. The formatting-resultant signal contains a sub packet and a sync information portion. The sub packet contains at least portions of the compression-resultant multiple-channel signals. The sync information portion contains the signal representative of the sampling frequency and the signal representative of the quantization bit number.

A recording disc has a lead-in area and a data area. A scrambled version of a SID code word is read out from the lead-in area of the disc. The SID code word represents a producer of the disc. The readout scrambled version is de-scrambled to recover the SID code word. The recovered SID code word is collated with reference SID code words to decide whether or not the disc is legitimate. Main information is read out from the data area of the disc when it is decided that the disc is legitimate. Readout of the main information from the data area of the disc is inhibited when it is decided that the disc is not legitimate.

A developing apparatus comprises a toner supply auger provided slidably along a shaft in a development case for transferring toner supplied from a toner supply inlet along the shaft to a transfer mixer, an open-and-shut device for opening and closing a toner supply outlet and a toner supply inlet, and a pushing means for moving the toner supply auger in the loading and unloading direction of the toner supply cartridge, thereby changing a site of the toner supply auger facing the toner supply inlet to another site near the back end of the toner supply auger.

An input signal is quantized into a quantization-resultant signal. The quantization-resultant signal is compressed into a compression-resultant signal. The compression-resultant signal is formatted into a formatting-resultant signal corresponding to a predetermined format for a digital recording disc. The formatting-resultant signal includes segments corresponding to user data areas prescribed in the predetermined format. The compression-resultant signal is placed in the segments of the formatting-resultant signal. The formatting-resultant signal is encoded into an encoding-resultant signal of a CD format. The encoding-resultant signal is recorded on a recording medium.

An optical audio disc comprises the first pack (A Pack), the second pack (A-CONT Pack), the third pack (V Pack), and the fourth pack (CONT Pack) in which the A-CONT Pack is placed at the head of a data array and a plurality of the A and V Packs follow the A-CONT Pack in each audio contents block unit (ACBU). Information contained in an A-CONT Pack manages audio data contained in the A Pack. The A Pack contains audio data and the V Pack contains other data than the audio data such as closed caption (CC) data as well as video data. A reproduction apparatus for an optical audio disc (DVD-Audio disc) comprises the CONT Pack detector section 1103, the A-CONT Pack detector section 1109, the parameter sections 1108 and 1114, the V Pack buffer section 1104, and the A Pack buffer section 1110. The CONT Pack detector section 1103 and the A-CONT Pack detector section 1109 detect reproduced CONT and A-CONT Packs contained in the DVD-Audio disc 1101 respectively. Control parameters of reproduced data are arranged in the parameter sections 1108 and 1114, and at the same time V Packs controlled by the information in the CONT Pack and A Packs controlled by the information in the A-CONT Pack are sequentially written in the V Pack buffer section 1104 and the A Pack buffer section 1110 respectively.
摘要:
An image forming device which allows reducing a linear velocity ratio of a developing roller against a sensitive body, which enables a pole pitch of a magnetic field generating layer to be miniaturized, and which generates a uniform and adequately thick toner layer on the developing roller. A toner regulating element formed by a sheet metal material having elasticity and non-magnetic characteristics elastically contacts a surface of the developing roller. The developing roller has an elastic body layer and a magnetic field generating layer having a minute pole pitch. The toner regulating elements serves to regulate a thickness of the toner layer without vibration induced from the pole pitch of the magnetic field generating layer. Thus, the toner layer can be uniform and of an adequate thickness, and reducing the linear velocity ratio of the developing roller against the sensitive body does not generate any drawbacks.

An ink jet printer is featured by pinch rollers disposed so as to be in contact with the printed surface of a printed recording sheet to press the printed recording sheet against an ejecting roller in contact with the non-printed surface of the printed recording sheet to advance the printed recording sheet to an ejecting unit, cleaning members disposed in contact respectively with the respective circumferences of the pinch rollers to remove the ink adhering to the circumferences of the pinch rollers, and a holding member detachably holding the cleaning members on one side of the holding member so as to be in contact through an opening with the pinch rollers on another side of the holding member at a specified pressure. The cleaning members can be easily replaced with new ones without requiring special skill.

A developing apparatus includes a toner supporting member for attaching toner to an image supporting member on which an electrostatic latent image is formed so as to develop the electrostatic latent image with the toner supporting member and the image supporting member contacting each other. A toner restricting member forms a toner layer on the toner supporting member uniformly. Further, the toner supporting member has an elastic inner layer and a surface layer on which a magnetic portion is formed, and non-magnetic portions are formed on both end portions of said surface layer. Moreover, a length of the surface layer may be equal to or larger than a length of the inner layer in a longitudinal direction.

A developing device which includes a first toner transporting roller, a second toner transporting roller to which toner is transported from the first toner transporting roller and an image bearing member such as a photoconductive drum or belt. Seals are located between the circumferential ends of one of the toner transporting rollers and a bottom portion of a toner hopper. When the seals are between the bottom of toner hopper and the first toner transporting roller, the first toner transporting roller is longer than the second toner transporting roller and the circumferential portions of the first toner transporting roller which contact the seals do not contact the second toner transporting roller. Alternatively, when the seals are between the bottom of toner hopper and the second toner transporting roller, the second toner transporting roller is longer than the first toner transporting roller and the circumferential portions of the second toner transporting roller which contact the seals do not contact the first toner transporting roller. Additionally, when the seals contact the second toner transporting roller, side seals may be placed against the ends of the first toner transporting roller. In both of these arrangements, the length of the second toner transporting roller is shorter than a length of an effective area of a photoconductive layer on the image bearing member.

A developing device for an image forming apparatus and using a single component type developer, i.e., toner, has a developing roller, a doctor blade, and an elastic intermediae roller. The developing roller and intermediate roller contact each other and rotate in the same directions such that they move in opposite directions at the position where they contact each other. The developing roller is provide with a surface roughness of Rz 10 .mu.m or less in terms of ten-point mean value as prescribed by JIS (Japanese Industrial Standards) in order to deposit an adequate charge on toner.
