摘要:
A developing device and an image forming apparatus including the same includes an agitating and conveying unit that receives a developer, and at least one agitating and conveying member to mix and agitate the developer and convey the developer in a developer conveying direction. A developing roller faces a photosensitive drum on which an electrostatic latent image is formed, and attaches the developer to an outer surface of the developing roller. The agitating and conveying member includes a support shaft extending in the developer conveying direction. A plurality of agitation wings disposed on an outer surface of the support shaft to mix and agitate the developer. At least one paddle protrudes from the support shaft in a radial direction and extends along the shaft between adjacent agitation wings. The at least one paddle has a height increasing from an upstream side to a downstream side of the developer conveying direction.

A developing device includes a first developer containing chamber, a second developer containing chamber, a first inflow section, a second inflow section, a first conveyance member and a second conveyance member. The first inflow section allows the developer to flow from the second developer containing chamber into the first developer containing chamber. The second inflow section allows the developer to flow from the first developer containing chamber into the second developer containing chamber. The first conveyance member conveys the developer contained in the first developer containing chamber in a first developer conveyance direction. The second conveyance member conveys the developer contained in the second developer containing chamber in a second developer conveyance direction. In a range corresponding to the first inflow section, an area of a cross section, perpendicular to the second developer conveyance direction, of the second developer containing chamber decreases along the second developer conveyance direction.

A solid state imaging device is consisted of an image sensor chip having a light receiving portion, a frame-like spacer attached on the image sensor chip so as to surround the light receiving portion, and a transparent cover glass attached on the spacer so as to close the light receiving portion. An outer periphery of the spacer is projected from that of the solid state imaging device to form a projection. Along an inner periphery of a lens holding frame, a groove is formed. When the lens holding frame is attached to the solid state imaging device to cover it, the groove of the lens holding frame is engaged to the projection of the solid state imaging device.

An image forming apparatus including a developing device includes: a housing for housing a developer that includes a carrier and a toner; a development sleeve that is installed rotatably in the housing and is cylindrical and; and a layer regulator installed in the housing in such a way that an end of the layer regulator is spaced apart from an outer circumference surface of the development sleeve, wherein the layer regulator has a stacked structure including a non-magnetic material layer as a substrate, a resin layer for aiding electrifying of the toner by the carrier, and a magnetic material layer for regulating uniformity of the developer. Thus, the developing device is fabricated by using a simple process with sustainable straightness of the layer regulator even when the layer regulator operates and without formation of a step or a space between a magnetic material and a non-magnetic material.

The present invention provides a gas analyzer that can be miniaturized and detect a wide variety of gases with high sensitivity, and a method of gas analysis. A separation column 16 is configured so as to pass a sample gas together with a carrier gas through the inside thereof. A surface acoustic wave device 17 has a base material 21 with an annularly continuous annular surface formed of at least apart of a spherical surface; a surface acoustic wave generating means 22 capable of generating a surface acoustic wave that propagates along the annular surface; and a plurality of reaction parts 23 provided along the annular surface so as to change a predetermined physical quantity of the surface acoustic wave in response to the components of the sample gas. The surface acoustic wave device 17 is arranged so that the sample gas passing through the separation column 16 is reacted with the reaction parts 23. The measuring part 18 can measure a physical quantity of the surface acoustic wave propagating along the annular surface, and the components of the sample gas can be analyzed on the basis of the measured physical quantity.
摘要:
A mounting board of a camera module of a mobile phone is screwed to an outer cover through cushions formed of rubber, sponge or the like. A solid state imaging device and an optical unit of the camera module are contained in an opening formed in the outer cover and do not contact the outer cover. The mounting board is connected to a main substrate through a flexible board. Accordingly, even if the mobile phone is dropped down, the camera module is prevented from breakage by the vibration or the shock applied to the mobile phone, because the vibration and the shock are not transmitted to the camera module directly.
