A superconducting bearing comprises a rotating member A and a fixed member B, one of which is provided with a superconducting member (5) while the other is provided with a magnet (8). The superconducting member (5) includes a superconductor (4) for floating the magnet (8) and a support (3) for supporting the superconductor (4). The magnet (8) includes a ring-like magnet (11) which is coaxial with the axis of the rotary member A, and the ring-like magnet (11) and the superconductor member (5) are so disposed as to face each other with a gap between them. A magnetic flux diffusion member (13) is disposed on the surface of the ring-like magnet (11) opposed to the superconductor (5). The ring-like magnet (11) comprises two ring-like magnets (11A and 11B) having mutually different diameters, and the ring-like magnets (11A and 11B) are magnetized so that the directions of magnetic fluxes face slantingly with one another.

A system disconnection detection circuit for a distributed location power source having a generating element and an invertor for converting a generated output from the generating element into an AC output superimposes a selected signal on the AC output of the invertor. The circuit detects system disconnection on the output side of the invertor on the basis of the AC output of the invertor on which the selected signal has been superimposed.

An image forming apparatus of the type collecting a toner remaining on the surface of an image carrier after image transfer and returning it to a developing unit to use it again. The apparatus separates the toner from paper dust and other impurities before returning the toner to the developing unit on the basis of differences in charge, weight and volume between the toner and the impurities. The toner is returned via an eletrostatic conveyor.

A connection control device for controlling the connection of a small generator unit, which is installed at the consumer's location, to an electric power system. The connection control device detects variations in frequency components which result from interruptions in the distribution of electric power to the consumer from the electric power system. When a significant variation in a frequency component is present, the connection control device disconnects the consumer from the electric power system in order to prevent injury to line workers.

An inverter system is disclosed for inputting an alternating current and a direct current in combination. This inverter system comprises an AC-DC converter to convert a received AC electric power from an AC electric power source to a DC electric power; a DC-AC converter to convert a thus converted DC electric power and a DC electric power from a DC electric power source to an AC electric power; a first switching means to open or close an electric circuit between an output side of the DC-AC converter and a first load; a second switching means to open or close an electric circuit between the AC electric power source to which a second load is connected and the output side of the DC-AC converter; and a controlling means for controlling opening and closing of the first and second switching means. When a electric power consumption of the first load is larger than an output of the DC electric power source, the controller closes the first switching means and opens the second switching means. When an operation of the first load is stopped, the controller opens the first switching means and closes the second switching means. When the electric power consumption of the first load is smaller than the output of the DC electric power source, the controller closes both the first and second switching means.

A method of designing a superconductivity employing apparatus includes the steps of causing a magnetism generating disk-shaped floatable portion (4) to face a disk-shaped fixed portion (2) capable of exhibiting superconductivity with a gap (G) therebetween; initializing the fixed portion (2) to reach a superconducting state at a position where the floatable portion (4) is spaced away from the fixed portion (2) to such an extent that its magnetic field does not influence the fixed portion (2); and using properly first, second, and n-th approach characteristics (S1, S2, Sn) when a difference between an n-th approach characteristic (Sn) and the second characteristic (S2) is smaller than a difference between the first and second characteristics (S1, S2), where the first approach characteristic (S1) is a characteristic of a magnetic floating force obtained by allowing the floatable portion (4) to approach the fixed portion (2), the second approach characteristic (S2) is a characteristic of a magnetic floating force obtained by allowing the floatable portion (4) to approach the fixed portion (2) after the floatable portion (4) is allowed to recede from the fixed portion (2) to such an extent that its magnetic field does not influence the fixed portion (2), and the n-th approach characteristic is a characteristic of a magnetic floating force obtained by repeatedly carrying out the operations subsequent to the operation of the second approach characteristic (S2).
摘要:
An image forming apparatus reduces the level of noise escaping therefrom via an opening. The noise is generated from a motor which drives an image forming part in the image forming apparatus, from a radiator fan which radiates heat inside the apparatus to the outside via the opening, and from an exhaust fan which passes harmful air through a filter and then exhausts harmless air to the outside via the opening. The image forming apparatus generates a predetermined sound wave and collides it with the noise so that the predetermined sound wave and noise cancel each other out.
