Abstract:
A particle behavior analysis system includes a calculation section that, regarding a decomposition portion decomposed in accordance with a decomposition method in a range to be analyzed, considers interaction force with another substance that acts on a particle and calculates behavior of the particle, while performing information communication with other devices; and an output processing section that switches output advisability of an analysis result obtained by the calculation section based on priority of the decomposition portion corresponding to the advisability of output processing of the analysis result.
Abstract:
The parallel computing system is provided with: plural computing nodes that perform a computation; a management node that is connected to the plural computing nodes, and that manages parallel computing by the plural computing nodes; and an external memory that is connected to the management node, that is accessible from the management node and the plural computing nodes, and that uses a semiconductor memory as a memory medium. The management node allocates data to be processed to each of the computing nodes, and creates an individual data file for each of the computing nodes in the external memory, and each of the computing nodes performs a computation by accessing the external memory and by reading the data file allocated to itself and a different data file to be referenced in a computation using the allocated data file, and outputs a computation result to the external memory.
Abstract:
A developing device includes a developer transport body having a rotating outer peripheral surface, a magnet member having a plurality of magnetic poles, a regulation member that regulates passage of the developer supplied on the outer peripheral surface, and an introduction member having an opposing face opposing the outer peripheral surface to form an introduction space. A regulation-assist magnetic pole, of the magnetic poles, is provided at a position shifted from a position opposing the regulation member toward an upstream side in a rotating direction of the developer transport body. At least an upstream end of the opposing face is located on a virtual line obtained by translating a tangent line to the developer transport body at a position opposing the regulation member to an end of the regulation member opposing the developer transport body or located closer to the outer peripheral surface than the virtual line.
Abstract:
A developing device includes a first developing roller including a first transport member that transports magnetic developer by rotating while being close to a latent-image carrier rotating in one direction and a first magnet member, a second developing roller including a second transport member that transports the developer by rotating while being close to the latent-image carrier at a position on a downstream side of the first developing roller in the one direction, and a second magnet member, and a regulation member that regulates transport amounts of the developer distributed to the first and second developing rollers to required transport amounts, and opposes the developing rollers with predetermined distances therebetween. The first and second developing rollers are spaced from each other. The regulation member is movably supported in an area closer to the latent-image carrier than a closest position between the first and second developing rollers.
Abstract:
A developing device includes first and second developer carriers facing each other in a facing region, a regulating member that regulates a layer thickness of developer, and a separation member. The first and second developer carriers respectively include first and second magnetic members that are respectively magnetized with first and second facing magnetic poles having opposite polarities. The separation member separates the developer so that the developer is supplied toward the first and second developer carriers. The separation member is disposed such that distances between the separation member and the first and second developer carriers are the smallest in a region in which a magnitude of a combined magnetic field of the first and second magnetic poles locally decreases as compared with a case where at least one of the first and second developer carriers is independently disposed due to interaction between the first and second facing magnetic poles.
