A heating controlling section (78) for controlling the heater device (4) includes a fixing behavior evaluating means (9) for evaluating a fixing behavior of the ink to the fixing layer and then outputting a control amount to the heating controlling section (78) for controlling the heater device (4). The fixing behavior evaluating means (9) includes such functions as a sublimation degree evaluating function for evaluating a sublimation degree of the ink in the recording medium (1), a function for evaluating surface temperature distribution of the recording medium or a transferred energy evaluating function for evaluating transferred energy received by each area of the recording medium (1).

An image forming apparatus includes a printing unit having a print head for applying ink to a surface layer of a recording medium transported thereto; a loop-forming unit capable of temporarily storing the recording medium discharged from the printing unit; and a heating unit for heating the recording medium fed from the loop-forming unit for fixing the ink applied to the surface layer onto its fixing layer. The heating unit includes a preliminary heating subunit for heating the recording medium from a normal temperature level to a ink fixing temperature level, a main heating unit for heating the recording medium at the ink fixing temperature level and a slow cooling subunit for slowly cooling the recording medium to the normal temperature level.

A photographic printing apparatus includes a pause transfer device disposed on a transfer passage between a printing station and a development station for holding temporarily an excess of printed sheets of a photosensitive material over that which can be handled by the development station and for transferring printed sheets of the photosensitive material to the development station one after another depending on the developing process.

A sensor circuit has: a sensor portion that obtains, as an electrical signal, information on an object to be measured or detected; and a control circuit that controls the operation of the sensor portion. The control circuit receives a start input signal inputted thereto from outside for making the sensor portion operate only for a given duration after the start input signal is inputted thereto. With this configuration, it is possible to reduce the current consumption by arbitrarily controlling a period of an intermittent operation of the sensor circuit.

When the operation frequency is high, in order to cause the rate of change of outputs from an output terminal (OUT) to be abrupt, a selection control signal is caused to be in a low state, thereby causing MOS transistors (T5b, T6b) to be in ON states, thereby causing the combined resistance of the ON-resistances of the MOS resistors in a NOR gate (NOx) to be small. On the other hand, when the operation frequency is low, in order to cause the rate of change of outputs from the output terminal (OUT) to be gentle, the selection control signal is caused to be in a high state, thereby causing the MOS transistors (T5b, T6b) to be in OFF states, thereby causing the combined resistance of the ON-resistances of the MOS transistors in the NOR gate (NOx) to be large.

A magnetic sensor circuit has Hall devices 10X and 10Y, selection switch circuits 20X and 20Y, amplifier units 30X ad 30Y, a comparison unit 60, capacitors 41X, 42X, 41Y, and 42Y, and switch circuits 51 and 52. The Hall voltages obtained from the Hall devices 10X and 10Y are outputted in either of a first and a second states switched by the selection switch circuits 20X and 20Y. The amplifier units 30X ad 30Y each operate differentially and, if the difference between their outputs is greater than a set hysteresis width, the output logic of a detection signal Sdet is shifted. This configuration helps reduce the influence of device offset voltages in the Hall devices, and also helps reduce the influence of input offset voltages arising in the amplifiers.

A discrimination circuit of the present invention checks whether a received signal is noise or a signal that is repeated with interposed rest time periods, and is provided with a low-pass filter that has a cut-off frequency that is lower than the frequency of the noise but higher than the reciprocal of a total period of one frame of the signal that is repeated with interposed rest time periods and the rest time period, and a judgment circuit that judges, according to an output of the low-pass filter, whether the received signal is noise or a signal that is repeated with interposed rest time periods. With this configuration, it is possible to discriminate between noise and a signal that is repeated with interposed rest time periods, and achieve miniaturization.
摘要:
In a conventional N-channel MOSFET for an open-drain circuit, when a positive static electric charge is applied to its drain, there is no route by way of which to discharge the static electric charge, resulting in a rather low static withstand voltage. To overcome this, according to the invention, an open-drain N-channel MOSFET has a drain region formed of an N-type semiconductor layer, a P-type impurity diffusion layer formed within the drain region, two high-concentration N-type impurity diffusion layers formed within the drain region so as to sandwich the P-type impurity diffusion layer, and a drain electrode connected to the P-type impurity diffusion layer and to the two high-concentration N-type impurity diffusion layers. When a positive static electric charge is applied to the drain, a parasitic transistor appears that forms a route by way of which the static electric charge is discharged.
