A charger includes: a first charging member that contacts an image carrier and a second charging member that contacts the image carrier downstream from the first charging member. At the time of image formation, a voltage higher than the discharge start voltage of the first charging member is applied to the first charging member and a voltage lower than the discharge start voltage of the second charging member and lower than the voltage applied to the first charging member is applied to the second charging member, and at the time when an image is not formed, a voltage lower than the discharge start voltage of the first charging member is applied to the first charging member and a voltage higher than the discharge start voltage of the second charging member and higher than the voltage applied to the first charging member is applied to the second charging member.

An image forming apparatus includes a developer bearing member for transporting developer to an opposing position opposing an image bearing member. Regularly-disposed concave sections are formed on a surface of the developer bearing member. An alternating voltage that includes a first voltage for moving developer from the developer bearing member toward the image bearing member, and a second voltage for moving developer from the image bearing member toward the developer bearing member is applied to the developer bearing member. A cycle period of the alternating voltage is larger than a minimum width of the concave section in a circumferential direction of the developer bearing member divided by a moving velocity of a surface of the rotating developer bearing member.

A stainless steel sheet useful as a separator for a low-temperature fuel cell has the surface state that a lot of fine projections (p) stand close together around many fine pits (d) formed over a whole surface. The surface state is realized by alternating electrolytic etching in a ferric chloride solution. When the stainless steel separator is built in a fuel cell, contact resistance between the separator and a graphite electrode is kept at a lower level even in a corrosive atmosphere. Consequently, the fuel cell can be driven with high power-generating efficiency over a long term even under severely corrosive conditions without generation of massive Joule heat.

A method of recycling a container member containing a waste liquid absorbing member includes: removing at least a part of waste liquid from the waste liquid absorbing member having absorbed the waste liquid; and disposing the waste absorbing member, which at least a part of the waste liquid is removed from, in the container member.
摘要:
An image forming apparatus has an image carrier with rotary shafts extending from both ends that are rotatably supported on an apparatus body by bearings. Gap members fixed to both end portions of a charging roller are brought in contact with the peripheral surface of the image carrier with some pressure to form a charge gap between the image carrier and the charging roller so that the charging roller charges the image carrier in a non-contact state with the charge gap. The gap members have a small-diameter portion on the inside thereof and a large-diameter portion on the outside thereof such that the small-diameter portions face each other.

An image forming apparatus including: an image bearing member for bearing a latent image, a developer bearing member for transporting developer to an opposing position opposing the image bearing member by rotating with developer being borne thereon, the developer bearing member having regularly-disposed concave sections formed on a surface thereof, and an alternating voltage applying section for applying to the developer bearing member an alternating voltage that includes a first voltage for moving developer from the developer bearing member toward the image bearing member and a second voltage for moving developer from the image bearing member toward the developer bearing member in order to develop the latent image using the developer that has been transported to the opposing position, wherein a cycle period of the alternating voltage is smaller than or equal to a value obtained by dividing a minimum width of the concave section in a circumferential direction of the developer bearing member by a moving velocity of a surface of the developer bearing member during rotation of the developer bearing member.
摘要:
In an image forming apparatus of the present invention, the voltage of a chargeable layer 2b of an image carrier 2 at the portion to be in contact with writing electrodes 3b is adjusted by a surface potential adjusting member 8 which is disposed to be in contact with the chargeable layer 2b between the writing electrodes 3b and a transfer roller 6a. That is, even if the reverse charge injection occurs because the transfer voltage is applied to the transfer roller 6a and the transfer roller 6a is in contact with the chargeable layer 2b of the image carrier 2 at an interval between a printed paper 5 and the next paper 5, the potential of the chargeable layer 2b at the portion to be in contact with the writing electrodes 3b is adjusted not to exceed the withstand voltage of IC drivers 7 of the writing electrodes 3b by the surface potential adjusting member 8. Therefore, this prevents the writing head 3 from being broken, prevents the production of ghost image, and further inhibits voltage drop due to discharge between the image carrier and the writing electrodes during the process of writing a latent image, thereby preventing the electrostatic latent image from being in disorder.
