A cleaning device incorporated in image forming equipment and capable of exhibiting a desirable cleaning ability while in operation. Various characteristic values determining the cleaning angle during cleaning operation, e.g., the Young's modulus and thickness of a cleaning blade and the amount of protrusion of the blade from a holder are selected to satisfy a particular relation.

The process for producing microcapsules comprises forming capsules having a wall film composed of an amine-aldehyde polycondensate in a system in which a hydrophobic core substance is dispersed or emulsified in an acid aqueous solution containing an anionic colloidal substance, said anionic colloidal substance being an anionic water-soluble copolymer composed of acrylic acid, styrenesulfonic acid, and alkyl acrylate or alkyl methacrylate. The present invention decreases the large particles present in the capsule slurry, and provides microcapsule which are excellent in emulsification power, emulsification stability, particle size distribution, impermeability of capsule-wall film and workability.

A pen includes a first speaker that outputs a first signal and a second speaker that outputs a second signal. The first and second speakers are located away from a tip of the pen at respectively different locations. The second signal is delayed with respect to the first signal by a time shorter than a cycle of the first signal. An interpolation time is set between the times of generation of the first and second signals. Interpolated positions of the first and second speakers at the interpolation time are estimated, and position of the tip of the pen is calculated from the interpolated positions of the first and second speakers.

One aspect of the current invention is related to updating an electronic source file based upon the edits made on a recording medium such as a print out. In other words, after the content of the source file is printed on a sheet of paper, when any edit is made to the printed sheet, the edit is automatically incorporated into the original source file without any human intervention to identify the edit or the original source file.
摘要:
A 2-dimensional code reading apparatus includes a code position detector receiving an input image that is formed by optically reading 2-dimensional codes, and extracting a 2-dimensional codes from the input image. A data acquisition unit acquires identification information of a document page and positional information of the 2-dimensional codes on the document page, from the 2-dimensional codes. A data decoder performs decoding of the identification information and the positional information. The code position detector is provided with a code frame detector detecting a code frame which defines a fixed region of the 2-dimensional codes, and determining a dot of a target pixel as being a corner dot of the code frame.
