摘要:
The image heating apparatus includes a cylindrical film, a heating member, and a drive roller, wherein a recording material bearing an image is heated while the recording material is bound and conveyed by the nip portion, and a distance between a contact position between the film and the recording material and a contact position which the film and the drive roller is equal to or less than 3.5 mm over a longitudinal direction of the nip portion, and a line formed by connecting positions at which said film is separated in the longitudinal direction of the nip portion from the recording material in the conveyance direction has an arc shape. Thus a heating process can be executed while suppressing creases in the recording material and a density loss in the image formed on the recording material.

An image generating apparatus is provided which can maximize the throughput without causing thermal damage of the fusing components. It determines a sub-thermistor temperature threshold value for switching small size paper feed intervals in response to a sub-thermistor initial temperature. It supplies a heating body with current for heating, and starts feeding recording mediums at the feed interval determined by a feed interval initial value. It makes a successively conveyed paper count. Every time the successively conveyed paper count reaches a paper count threshold value, it performs the switching control of the sub-thermistor temperature threshold value. If the sub-thermistor temperature exceeds the threshold value while the recording medium is passing through the fusing apparatus, it carries out the switching control of the feed intervals. In another mode, it prevents the extension of the paper feed interval of the paper conveyance during a specified paper count α.

It is an object of the preset invention to prevent jamming with small-sized print materials without disturbing an image located at a trailing end of a print material. An image forming apparatus has a photosensitive drum that carries a toner image, a transfer device which can apply a transfer bias to the transfer roller to transfer the toner image to a print material passing through the transfer nip portion, and a control device for controlling a transfer bias set value set in order to apply a predetermined transfer bias to the transfer roller. The control device switches a first transfer bias set value to a second bias set value smaller than the first transfer bias set value while the print material is passing through the transfer nip portion, in order to change the transfer bias applied to the transfer roller.

The invention concerns a method for making substrates, in particular for optics, electronics or optoelectronics. The method includes an operation which consists in implanting (100) atomic species beneath the surface of a material in the form of a cylindrical ingot (1), at a depth of implantation distributed about a certain value by bombardment of the atomic species on a zone of the ingot (1) cylindrical surface, and an operation which consists in removing (300), at a separation depth located proximate to the depth of implantation, the layer (2) of material located between the surface and the separation depth, to remove the layer (2) from the rest of the cylindrical ingot (1).

An image forming apparatus includes a heater for heating a recording material for fixing a transferred toner image to the recording material at a transfer portion. A fixing unit includes at least one overheat preventive device for preventing the heater from overheating. A recording material sensor detects a front end timing of the recording material. A part of all of the at least one overheat preventive device is placed on a plane perpendicular to a conveyance surface of the recording material and passing the recording material sensor.

A method, mechanisms and jig for handling a member of a crystal pulling apparatus are disclosed. The crystal pulling apparatus grows a single crystal from a melt of a crystalline material by a CZ method. Handling of a graphite crucible or the like of the crystal pulling apparatus, including a vertical moving operation, a swinging operation, or the like, is performed using a crane and a lifting jig. This makes it possible to readily move the member of the crystal pulling apparatus vertically and otherwise without relying on manual labor.

Used in a Si crystal pulling apparatus using the Czochralski method, to lower the concentration of oxygen in the Si single crystal without increasing the production cost and to make the concentration substantially even all over the Si single crystal. The crystal 36 is produced by disposing a straightening tube 40 concentrically with and above a quartz crucible 22, letting inert gas flow down through the tube, dipping a seed crystal in Si molten liquid 28 in the quartz crucible and then pulling the seed crystal up. The concentration of oxygen in the Si single crystal is adjusted by controlling the distance H between the surface of the Si molten liquid and the bottom end of the straightening tube in accordance with the pull-up length Y or the pull-up time from a certain growth point of the crystal.

A fixing apparatus is capable of executing a first fixing mode for performing fixing processing at a first pressing force and a second fixing mode for performing fixing processing at a second pressing force that is lower than the first pressing force. When a pressing force applied to a fixing nip portion is set to the second pressing force, all of a first heating member pattern on a heater is contained within a contact region between a belt member and the heater, and at least a portion of a second heating member pattern is disposed outside the contact region, so that consumed power is reduced.
