摘要:
An image forming apparatus includes a cleaning member for collecting toner left on an image carrier after image transfer, and then redepositing it on the carrier, so that a developing unit can collect the redeposited toner to reuse it. Even when the frictional charging ability of the cleaning member falls due to aging or varying environment, the charge of the toner left on the image carrier is regulated to preselected polarity before the toner reaches the cleaning member, thereby enhancing a toner collecting efficiency and a toner redepositing efficiency. The charge of the toner redeposited on the image carrier and moved away from the cleaning member is regulated to preselected polarity while being increased, thereby reducing a load to act on the developing unit. The toner is redeposited on the image carrier efficiently without regard to the polarity of the toner collected by the cleaning member. The developing unit is allowed to collect all the toner redeposited on the image carrier, thereby freeing the background of an image from contamination. When the cleaning member collects the toner from the image carrier, the toner is prevented from being transferred from the cleaning member to the image carrier, thereby obviating defective cleaning. An image forming speed is increased by reducing the interval between consecutive image forming areas. A pressure is caused to act uniformly between the cleaning member and the image carrier in the axial direction of the roller, further enhancing the toner collecting efficiency and toner redepositing efficiency while obviating background contamination.

In an image forming apparatus, during the course of recording, a cleaning roller is rotated together with an image carrier. The roller frictionally charges toner left on the image carrier after image transfer to the same polarity. A cleaning member electrostatically collects the charged toner. At the same time, a voltage is applied to the cleaning member by a voltage applying device in order to cause it to attract the charged toner, thereby cleaning the image carrier. Hence, even when the toner remaining on image carrier is charged partly to the positive polarity and partly to the negative polarity, the toner can be entirely transferred to the cleaning member by a simple construction.

A vehicle detection apparatus comprises an other-vehicle detection module configured to detect points of light in an image captured by a vehicle to which the vehicle detection module is mounted and to detect other vehicles based on the points of light, a vehicle lane-line detection module configured to detect an vehicle lane-line in the captured image, and a region sectioning module configured to section the captured image based on the detected vehicle lane-line into an own vehicle lane region, an oncoming vehicle lane region, and a vehicle lane exterior region. Other vehicles are detected by the other-vehicle detection module by detecting points of light based on respective detection conditions set for each of the sectioned regions.

In the transplant of a living organism tissue, such as a heart valve, taken from an animal, etc. into a human body, a cell removing solution for removing original cells from the living organism tissue is provided with flow approximately equal to the bloodstream of transplant recipient living body, and the living organism tissue is placed in the flow so as to effect immersion of the living organism tissue in the cell removing solution. In the immersion, it is preferred that the living organism tissue placed in the cell removing solution, while being rotated, be irradiated with microwave. As a result, original cells can be removed from the living organism tissue uniformly and reliably, so that the biocompatibility of living organism tissue after transplant can be enhanced.

A vehicular lamp includes a light source that illuminates a vehicle periphery; a camera that images the vehicle periphery; and a shield structure configured to protect an image from the camera from light of the light source. The shield structure may include a shield ring configured to shield a light receiving portion of the camera from light of the light source; a light guide member that guides the light of the light source in a direction away from the light receiving portion of the camera; a control circuit that operates the camera only at a timing when the light source, flashing in a short cycle, is off; and an image processing circuit that removes a colored light component of the light source from image data of the camera.

The present invention discloses a power circuit for a condenser microphone capable of automatically switching both internal power source and external power source without carrying out the switching operation of a switch. A positive side output line comprises a power switch for turning off the positive side output line to selectively connecting it to a ground side output line; a first diode connected with an input direction from the external power source being a forward direction between the power switch and an output terminal of the positive side output line; and a capacitor connected parallel with said power switch and said first diode so as to bypass them, a series circuit comprising the internal power source, a second diode and a load resistor with a direction from the ground side output line to the positive side output line being a forward direction being connected between a connection point of the power switch and the first diode and the ground side output line.

A character output device comprises a storage section for storing typeface property data consisting of quantitative and qualitative information of the specific parts of specific characters that are commonly possessed by a plural number of fonts, a distance calculating section for calculating a distance between typeface property of a font the use of which is requested and any of other fonts than the use requested font, and a font selector section for selecting, on the basis of the calculation result, a font of which the typeface property is closest to the typeface property of the use requested font. In the character output device, when a font with the same typeface as that of the use requested font is not retained in the character output device, a control section and a character development processor section cooperatively substitute the typeface of the retained font selected by the font selector section for the typeface of the use requested font to perform a character processing. An output section outputs the result of the character processing.

A monitoring camera for a vehicle acquires images of a distant area, a vicinity area and a near area in front or rear of the vehicle. The monitoring camera can include an imaging element and an image forming lens comprising multiple lenses each having a different focal length. Each image of an object passing through a different one of the lenses is formed on a corresponding different region of an imaging surface of the imaging element.
