摘要:
According to an embodiment of the invention, degradation of carrier in a case is detected from the number of rotations of a developing roller. A predetermined quantity of carrier is replenished every time the developing roller reaches a predetermined number of rotations. An excess developer caused by an increase in bulk through carrier replenishment is discharged from a developer discharge port. The degraded old carrier in the case is replaced by new carrier little by little.

Screen data is generated by a screen generating processor (74) of a control host computer (7) and transmitted to a programmable display apparatus (5). In accordance with the screen data, the programmable display apparatus (5) inquires a PLC (3) or the like about a state of a device (21), so as to update the display or transmit a control instruction depending on an input result. On the other hand, a control host computer (7) has a public server section (77) to transmit to a client apparatus (9) via the Internet an applet, which is generated by a compiler (76) compiling the screen data. The client apparatus (9) executes the applet to transmit to the public server section (77) an or the control instruction inquiry similar to those the programmable display apparatus (5) makes. In this way, the display is updated in accordance with a response. This realizes a control system, which allows a display content of the programmable display apparatus (5) to be remotely checked from a remote area remote from the programmable display apparatus (5), without newly generating a display screen.

摘要:
In an image forming apparatus adopting a cleanerless process, there is provided a technique of preventing deterioration of picture quality due to photoreceptor filming or color mixture. An image forming apparatus of a cleanerless process in which a toner image is formed on an image bearing body by a developing unit, and a toner remaining on the image bearing body is collected by the developing unit, includes an intermediate transfer belt made of laminated layers of plural conductive materials different from each other and having a belt surface onto which the toner image is transferred from the image bearing body at a specified transfer position, and a transfer unit configured to press the intermediate transfer belt to the image bearing body at the specified transfer position and to apply a specified bias voltage to the intermediate transfer belt, wherein with respect to the plural conductive materials of the intermediate transfer belt, a layer closer to a side of either one of the toner transferred from the image bearing body and the transfer unit, where negative polarity is set, has a higher volume resistance value.
摘要:
A key sheet 10 includes a key top 12, a pushing piece that mediates pressing force from the key top 12 to a metal dome 30, and a UV-curing resin sheet 20 that serves as a pushing pieces layer and includes a reinforcing rib 34 that improves rigidity of the key sheet 10. Further, an urethane sheet 10 and a PET sheet 18 are provided between the key top 12 and the UV-curing resin sheet 20 to serve as an intermediate layer. A method for manufacturing the key sheet 10 includes steps of integrally forming the UV-curing resin sheet 20 including the pushing pieces 28 and the reinforcing ribs 34 by filling a mold with a liquid UV-curing resin.

An apparatus and method for cleaning a plurality of drums in an image forming apparatus includes applying a first bias to each of a plurality of disturbing members, each disturbing member associated with a corresponding drum of a plurality of drums. While performing an image forming operation wherein at least one of the plurality of drums is not use, the bias is changed of a disturbing member corresponding to at least one of the plurality of drums not used in performing the image forming operation from the first bias to a second bias different from the first bias.
摘要:
An inspection region is specified using the design information to perform region division for measurement through a scatterometry method. The obtained detection data is classified by pattern into a periodic region and a non-periodic region. A spectroscopic characteristic is detected by an optical sensor to extract features. The extracted features are compared with features stored in a feature map database for each region to evaluate a state of a patterned medium.
