A fixing device includes a fixing member, a pressing member, a heating member, a movement mechanism, and a control unit. The fixing member fixes a toner image onto a recording material. The pressing member is pressed against an outer circumferential surface of the fixing member to form a fixing pressure part between the pressing member and the fixing member. The heating member heats the outer circumferential surface of the fixing member. The movement mechanism moves the heating member to contact with and be apart from the fixing member. The control unit controls the movement mechanism to move the heating member relatively apart from the fixing member after a predetermined time elapses after a trailing end of a recording material in a transport direction thereof passes through the fixing pressure part each time when a recording material passes through the fixing pressure part.

Status monitoring of a wind turbine is automatically performed, and evaluation of that status is quantitatively performed according to an appropriate criterion. Provided is a wind turbine monitoring device including a first storage unit in which a diagnostic data file is stored; a second storage unit in which a normal data file is stored; a diagnostics setting unit that that extracts and sets a plurality of datasets to be used in diagnosis from the first storage unit and that extracts and sets a plurality of datasets to be used in diagnosis from the second storage unit; an index-value calculating unit that calculates status index values representing the status of the wind turbine using a statistical calculation method, on the basis of the set datasets in the diagnostic data file and the datasets in the reference data file; a fault determining unit that evaluates the status of the wind turbine on the basis of the status index values; and a notification unit that notifies the result of this evaluation.

A fixing device for heating and pressing a recording medium carrying an unfixed toner image or an unfixed ink image to fix the unfixed toner image or the unfixed ink image on the recording medium, includes a heating roller which has a heating source and has an endless peripheral surface moves around an axis, a pressure roller which is pressed onto the peripheral surface of the heating roller, and presses the recording medium passing between the pressure roller and the heating roller onto the peripheral surface of the heating roller, and plural cleaning sections which are provided to make contact with the heating roller. At least one of the cleaning sections is set, at a portion making contact with the heating roller, to have a relatively negative potential with respect to a surface potential of the heating roller.

The efficiency of a thin film Si solar battery is improved. Between a back face electrode and a transparent conductive film provided on a front face side of the back face electrode, a refractive index adjustment layer is interposed made from a material that has a lower refractive index than that of the transparent conductive film. For example when the transparent conductive film is GZO, SiO2 is interposed between the transparent conductive film and the back face electrode made from Ag. As a result light that penetrates into and is absorbed at the back face electrode is reduced, and the reflectivity of light at the back face electrode is improved.
摘要:
A light scattering film having the structure which guides electrical signal to a desired position and scatters incident light and the surface of which is substantially flat, and a photoelectric device using the same. The light scattering film includes a medium made of transparent conductive material and a light scatterer embedded in the medium. The light scattering film realizes conductivity and the light-scattering characteristic by single component. It is not necessary to make the texture of a surface with concavity and convexity deliberately to achieve the light-scattering characteristic. Desirably, the surface is substantially flat. When a semiconductor layer is formed on the surface, the defects are suppressed because of the flatness of the surface. The photoelectric device having the light scattering film and the semiconductor device on the surface of the film can achieve high photoelectric conversion efficiency.

A semiconductor device has an n−-semiconductor layer and p+-diffusion regions each having a depth of 14 to 20 μm (design value) selectively formed in the n− semiconductor layer. With the entire surface of the chip irradiated with light ions, such as He ions, a lifetime killer is introduced from a position d2 shallower than a position d1 of a p-n junction surface, formed from the n−-semiconductor layer and the p+-diffusion regions, to a position d3 deeper than the position d1 to form a short-lifetime region over the entire chip. The irradiation is carried out so that the light ion irradiation half width is not more than the depth of the p+-diffusion regions and a position of a peak of the light ions becomes deeper than the light ion irradiation half width and within the range between 80% and 120% of the depth of the p+-diffusion regions. Thus, in a semiconductor device such as a converter diode, a capability for a high decay rate of a reverse recovery current di/dt can be brought sufficiently high to such an extent that the device can withstand a lightening surge with a low forward voltage VF being kept low.

Provided is a taste-improving agent that suppresses the unpleasant taste of potassium, such as harshness, irritativeness, and bitterness without reducing the salty taste of a potassium-containing food or drink. The taste-improving agent for a potassium-containing food or drink comprises a lactic acid-fermented yeast extract that is obtainable by fermenting a yeast extract with a lactic acid bacterium and contains 7.5 (w/w) % or more of lactic acid relative to the solid content of the yeast extract.
