Abstract:
The rotating speed of a photosensitive body is reduced for preventing deterioration thereof due to ozone in an electrophotographic device which comprises the photosensitive body, a charger which uniformly charges the surface of the photosensitive body, and a motor control unit which performs drive control for a motor which drives the photosensitive body. The motor control unit provides a plurality of speed levels including a first speed level for rotating the photosensitive body during printing and another speed level for rotating the photosensitive body at a reduced speed lower than the speed used during printing. The speed is changed-over between the plurality of speed levels depending on the operating condition. Thereby, deterioration of the photosensitive body due to ozone generated from the charger is prevented, and additional deterioration of the photosensitive body due to rotation thereof other than during a printing operation is also prevented.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an exhaust gas recirculation apparatus for an internal combustion engine, by which the exhaust gas from a vacuum operated flow control valve connected to the exhaust system of the engine is recirculated into the intake system of the engine at a position located upstream of the throttle valve or at a position located downstream of the throttle valve in accordance with engine operating conditions. The exhaust gas is recirculated at the position downstream of the throttle valve when the engine is operating under a low rotational speed condition, while the exhaust gas is recirculated at the position upstream of the throttle valve when the engine is operating under a high rotational speed condition. A sufficient amount of exhaust gas can be recirculated during all engine operating conditions.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes a photosensitive belt carried by a driver device, for forming a toner image thereon; an internal transcription belt for transcribing the toner image; and a transcription portion for transcribing the toner image, which is transcribed on the internal transcription belt, onto a recording medium. A transcription side roller is suspended with the internal transcription belt thereon, and disposed on a side of a photosensitive belt side roller. Detectors detect a first cycle of the internal transcription belt, and a second cycle, which starts measurement delaying by ½ cycle of the photosensitive belt side roller from the first cycle measurement start. A controller conducts speed compensation of the photosensitive belt by referring to the first cycle and the second cycle, wherein the internal transcription belt is in contact with the photosensitive belt, so that it is carried following thereafter.
Abstract:
A fuel injection control apparatus provided with an air blast valve having a nozzle opening connected to an engine-drive air pump through a compressed air passage, a fuel injector for injecting fuel in the compressed air passage, and an opening and closing valve for controlling the opening and closing of the nozzle opening. When the compressed air pressure in the compressed air passage is lower than a set pressure, fuel is injected from the fuel injector during the opening of the opening and closing valve and the injected fuel is ejected from the nozzle opening by inertia force. When the compressed air pressure in the compressed air passage is above a set pressure, the fuel is injected from the fuel injector during the closing of the opening and closing valve and the injected fuel is ejected from the nozzle opening by compressed air during the opening of the opening and closing valve.
Abstract:
In a method of controlling the restart of an engine wherein the fuel amount is increased to prevent a restart failure of the engine from occurring at the time of the restart at high temperature, a fuel pressure is raised, a fuel amount is increased, an idling speed is raised and an idle ignition timing is advanced when the temperature of the engine is higher than a preset temperature and it is within a preset time period after the start of the engine, whereby the fuel consumption performance and the idling stabilizing performance are improved.
