A fixing device in an image formation apparatus has a heating roller and a backup roller. These rollers are each coated with single silicone rubber layers around the respective peripheries of their core bars. This silicone rubber has a volume resistance value of 1013 &OHgr;·cm or more. The heating roller is charged with electricity of the same polarity as the polarity of toner particles due to frictional electrification caused at the time of feeding of a recording medium. The heating and the backup roller are polarized reverse to the polarity of the recording medium. A quantity of charged electricity on the backup roller is made larger than that on the heating roller. This permits the image formation apparatus to prevent offset from occurring at the time of fixing a toner image onto the recording medium to cope with various types of recording media.

A method is provided for manufacturing a flat panel display in which a baseplate has a conductive row electrode deposited on it followed by an insulator. A conductive gate electrode is deposited over the insulator and a soft mask material is deposited over the conductive gate electrode. Microspheres are deposited on the soft mask material and an isotropic etch uses the microspheres as a mask to etch the soft mask material to form soft mask portions under the microspheres. The microspheres are removed and a hard mask material is deposited over the soft mask portions. The hard mask material is processed and chemical mechanical polished down to the soft mask portions which are removed by etching to leave a hard mask which is used by anisotropic etch process to form gate holes in the gate electrode. The gate holes are used to form emitter cavities into which emitters are deposited.

Two pairs of legs are fitted under two side plates of an electrophotography apparatus, respectively. The two legs in one pair fitted under one of the side plates are disposed on either side of and are spaced from a point which is a cross point of a line joining these two legs, and a line perpendicular to this line, which perpendicular line passes through a projected point obtained by projecting the center of gravity of the electrophotography apparatus onto a horizontal plane on which the apparatus is set up. The two legs in the pair fitted under the other one of the side plates are disposed on either side of and are spaced from a point which is a cross point of a line passing these two legs and a line perpendicular to this line, which perpendicular line passes through the projected point of the center of gravity. The ratio of a shorter distance to a longer distance, of two distances: one between the two legs in a pair and the other between the two legs in the other pair is set to a value of 1/5 to 1/3. With such a arrangement, a defect in an image caused by a distortion in said side plates, due to a position change in the center of gravity of the electrophotography apparatus can be prevented.

The top surface of the exterior case of a printing apparatus is formed of a first top surface portion which lies substantially above a fixation unit and a paper ejector, a second top surface portion which lies substantially above a control unit, and a third top surface portion which lies substantially above development units, a photosensitive belt and a transfer drum. The levels of the respective top surface portions are higher in the order of the first top surface portion, the second top surface portion and the third top surface portion. Top surface portions of higher levels are located from the front of the upper surface of the exterior case toward the back.

An optical scanning apparatus includes a light source, an image forming optical unit, a deflection unit and an optical beam detection unit provided inside a deflection area of the optical beam, the optical beam detection unit receiving the optical beam and generating a synchronizing signal. The optical beam detecting unit includes a unidirectional converging optical unit. This unidirectional converging optical unit is provided on an optical path of the optical beam irradiating the scanned surface for further converging the optical beam in a direction perpendicular to the direction of scanning in addition to the convergence performed by the image forming optical unit, so that the optical beam irradiating a light receiving surface of the optical beam detection unit can be focused in advance of the light-receiving surface of the optical beam detection unit in the above direction. In consequence, the allowable range of a shift of the scanning path of the optical beam caused by the manufacturing errors of the deflection unit and of a shift of an optical axis caused by the fine adjustment errors or strains of the supporting members can be increased. It is thus possible to provide an optical beam scanning apparatus which has a simple configuration and which enables the accuracy with which the position of the optical beam is detected to be improved.

The intermediate transfer device is an intermediate transfer belt contacted by the photoreceptor belt to be driven thereby. A photoreceptor-side roller enables contact of the intermediate transfer belt and the photoreceptor belt, and the intermediate transfer belt is trained around the photoreceptor-side roller and a transfer-side roller for pushing the sheet against the transfer roller. A diameter d2 of the transfer-side roller is smaller than a diameter d1 of the photoreceptor-side roller.
摘要:
A system for automatically adjusting an audio system with a programmable parametric equalizer includes an audio analysis unit that can be connected to the audio unit. The parametric equalizer adjusts the frequency response of the audio system in response to equalizer data stored in the audio system. The audio analysis unit generates various reference signals and applies the reference signals selectively to separate channels of the audio system. A microphone picks up audible output of the audio system as the parametric equalizer corrects it and the audio system outputs the reference signal. The audio analysis unit, by giving directions to a user or by directly programmably addressing the audio system, changes the equalizer data, amplifier gain, polarity of speaker connections and other parameters responsively to the output picked up by the microphone. The audio analysis unit also includes a floppy disk drive to store the results of the adjustments. If the adjustment data is lost, it can be restored from the stored copy made by the audio analysis unit. Through the present invention, a sophisticated audio system can be set up in a short period of time.
