An image carrier driver includes an image carrier, a first power transmitter, a rotator, a second power transmitter, and a damper. The image carrier is configured to rotate by power generated by a driving source. The first power transmitter is configured to transmit the power from the driving source to the image carrier. The rotator is disposed further downstream than the image carrier in a flow of power transmission. The second power transmitter is configured to transmit the power from the image carrier to the rotator. The damper is disposed in the image carrier and is configured to attenuate an oscillation associated with the power transmission and transmitted to the image carrier.

There are resource managers provided for various kinds of resources including hardware and software, and a system resource manager that manages the entire system including the resource managers. Configuration management of the system resource manager grasps the system configuration by XML-based definition information and detects a control method of each of the resources. Accepting an operation instruction to a resource, the system resource manager specifies a target resource to be controlled under configuration management and sends an event to a resource manager that manages the target resource by event control. The resource manager that receives the event specifies the target resource to be controlled under configuration management and sends a control instruction to the target resource by event control to operate the target resource.

To provide a carrier for an electrophotographic developer in which high image quality and full colorization are possible while carrier scattering is reduced, and a method for producing the carrier, and an electrophotographic developer including the carrier. A carrier core material for an electrophotographic developer is produced so that the half-value width B of a peak having a maximum intensity in an XRD pattern satisfies B≦0.160 (degree). A carrier for an electrophotographic developer and an electrophotographic developer are produced from the carrier core material for an electrophotographic developer.

An image processing apparatus is provided. The image processing apparatus includes a lower unit, an upper unit, a joint piece to connect the upper unit with the lower unit, a flat cable, and a holder piece, which is movable with respect to one of the upper unit and the lower unit when the upper unit is moved with respect to the lower unit. The holder piece includes a first opening, a second opening, and a path connecting the first opening and the second opening to hold the flat cable therein in a curved posture. When the upper unit is vertically moved, the holder member is vertically moved with respect to the one of the upper unit and the lower unit by shifting a range of curvature in the flat cable as the flat cable is pulled out of and withdrawn in the holder member.
