A vibrating bowl and the like are provided which are capable of accurately counting the number of objects to be fed. The vibrating bowl (10) includes: a concave portion (10a) capable of storing therein collectivity of objects (15) to be fed; a feed passage (20) capable of feeding the objects (15) within the concave portion (10a) by vibrating the objects (15); and a step portion (26) configured to cause the objects to be ejected outside of the concave portion (10a) in a direction substantially perpendicular and downwardly oblique to a feed direction in which those objects (15) which are present in the vicinity of a termination of the feed passage (20) are fed.

A heating element of a thermal head has a first electrode layer formed on a glaze layer and a second electrode layer formed opposite to the first electrode layer. A first insulation layer is formed on the first electrode layer to expose both ends of the first electrode layer in a transporting direction of a recording paper. A third electrode layer is formed on the first insulation layer to expose both ends of the first insulation layer in the transporting direction, and a heating resistor layer is formed across the first to the third electrode layers and the first insulation layer. A protective layer is formed covering the first to the third electrode layers, the first insulation layer, and the heating resistor layer. A system controller selectively applies the current to among the first, the second and the third electrode layers based on the image data to record.

A color thermosensitive recording material includes a support and yellow, magenta and cyan thermosensitive coloring layers formed on the support. The three coloring layers are different in thermal sensitivity. The yellow coloring layer is the farthest from the support and having fixability to ultraviolet rays of a first wavelength range. The magenta coloring layer has fixability to ultraviolet rays of a second wavelength range. To print a full-color image, the recording material is conveyed alternately in advancing and returning directions. In conveying the recording material in the advancing direction for three times, yellow, magenta and cyan images are recorded respectively to the three coloring layers inside a recording area on the recording material by use of a thermal head. A fixer is operated, which selectively applies ultraviolet rays of the first and second wavelength ranges to the recording material being moved past a ray applying region in a printing path, to fix the magenta and cyan color images. While a border between the recording area and a non-recording area is moved past the ray applying region, a shutter is moved together with the recording material, to avoid fixing the magenta and yellow coloring layers in the non-recording area.

During thermal recording and optical fixing of a sheet of thermosensitive recording paper, a leading end of the recording paper has been clamped by a clamp member for securing the recording paper to a platen drum. Thereafter, the clamp member is released, and the platen drum is rotated at a high speed to rapidly move the leading end to a bleaching position directly below the center of an ultraviolet lamp which is used for the optical fixing. The leading end is stopped in the bleaching position for a short time enough to bleach the leading end by the ultraviolet rays.

A thermal head is moved in a sub scan direction relatively to a recording paper, the thermal head having a plurality of heating elements disposed along a main scan direction. The length of each heating element along the main scan direction is longer than its length along the sub scan direction. While the thermal head moves by a distance corresponding to the width of a picture cell, drive time of each heating element, in which each heating element is driven continuously or intermittently, is controlled to change the recording area of wax type ink dot transferred to the recording paper. Adjacent ink dots in the main scan direction are displaced by a predetermined distance in the sub scan direction. If a thermal head is intermittently moved by a unit movement amount, the unit movement amount is set smaller than the width of the heating element in order to achieve a high gradation. In printing a color image using at least three types of inks including cyan, magenta, and yellow, the recording positions of the color inks are displaced. In order to prevent hue change and color moire of an image, the picture cell density is set different in the sub scan direction at least between cyan and magenta.

There are provided a sound generator with less peaks and dips in sound-pressure frequency characteristics, and a sound-generating apparatus which employs the sound generator. A sound generator and a sound-generating apparatus using the same are provided, wherein the sound generator includes at least a vibration plate, and a plurality of piezoelectric elements attached to the vibration plate so as to be spaced from each other to cause the vibration plate to vibrate. The plurality of piezoelectric elements includes piezoelectric elements having at least two different thicknesses. The piezoelectric elements having at least two different thicknesses are disposed in two directions that cross each other in a main surface of the vibration plate. Accordingly, it is possible to achieve a sound generator, as well as a sound-generating apparatus which have less peaks and dips in sound-pressure frequency characteristics.
