A compact printer has a sheet feeder positioned at its front wall and electrophotographic components arranged along a sheet moving path for receiving a sheet from the sheet feeder and for exposing, developing, then transferring a toner image onto the sheet. At its rear side, the printer has an image fixing unit and a discharge portion for discharging the sheet to a side output tray or onto the top wall of the printer. The discharge portion is provided with a detachably hinged, sheet turning apparatus when it is desired to discharge sheets onto the top wall, or with a detachably hinged cover with a rear opening to discharge sheets onto a rear side output tray.

A printer has a record unit including a record in the form of an endless belt which moves in one direction, a charger for charging the record, an exposure unit for forming an electrostatic latent image on the charged record, a developing unit for converting the latent image into a visual image, a sheet feeder for feeding a record sheet from a stack, as separated one by one, and feeding it into close contact with the record which carries the visual image, a transfer unit for transferring the visual image from the record onto the record sheet, a fixing unit for fixing the transferred visual image on the record sheet, and a delivery unit of delivering the fixed record sheet out of the printer. As a characteristic of the invention, the record unit and the developer unit are detachably mounted together and capable of being slid out of the printer for servicing. The other elements of the printer are disposed around the record unit in a generally U-shaped configuration, so that the record/developer unit can be slid into or out of the hollow portion defined by the U-shaped configuration.

An apparatus for cleaning a recording medium is provided. The cleaning apparatus of the present invention is applicable to an electrophotographic or electrographic recording system. The present cleaning apparatus comprises a toner cleaner for removing residual toner particles from the surface of a recording medium, a counter member disposed on the opposite side of the recording medium with respect to the toner cleaner, and a mechanism for urging at least either one of the toner cleaner and the counter member against the other. Accordingly, the recording medium is kept in pressure contact with the toner cleaner so that cleaning of the recording medium may be carried out at upmost efficiency at all times. Besides, due to the provision of the urging mechanism, the alignment of parts is made less severe in assemblage of the apparatus, thus facilitating the manufacturing process.

An image forming apparatus that includes an image reading part to read an image of an original, an image recording part to record the image read by the image reading part on a sheet, a sheet discharge part to discharge the sheet recorded by the image recording part from front to rear of a main body of the image forming apparatus, a sheet stack part to stack the sheet discharged by the sheet discharge part between the image reading part and the image recording part, first and second supporters provided outside the sheet stack part along a discharge direction of the sheet to form a space between the sheet stack part and the image reading part, and a lock mechanism to lock the image reading part. The image reading part slides relative to the first and second supporters in the discharge direction.

Mammalian proteins and muteins thereof, designated interleukin-4s (IL-4s), are provided which exhibit both B cell growth factor activity and T cell growth factor activity. Compounds of the invention include native human and murine IL-4s, muteins thereof, and nucleic acids which are effectively homologous to disclosed cDNAs, and/or which are capable of coding for mammalian IL-4s and their muteins.

A lookup table device is provided which converts a digital input signal into a digital output signal previously defined with respect to the digital input signal. The lookup table device has a delimiter information storage unit 10 for storing delimiter information representing a delimiter in a section of the digital input signal corresponding to the digital output signal, a section deriving unit 12 for deriving a section to which a digital input signal belongs, based on the delimiter information stored in the delimiter information storage unit, when the digital input signal is inputted into the lookup table device, and a signal output unit 14 for outputting a digital output signal corresponding to the section derived by the section deriving unit.
摘要:
Plasmid vectors are provided that carry cDNA clones coding for polypeptides exhibiting B-cell, T-cell and mast cell stimulatory activities, all of which are enhanced in the presence of other immune-reactive agents. The polypeptides also augment the activity of various CSF's, such as G-CSF and G/M-CSF, and depress proliferation of macrophages in the presence of M-CSF. The cDNA is derived from mRNA isolated from a mammalian cell source, such as T-cells typically after activation with a mitogen. The plasmid vector also contains DNA segments from the SV40 virus, permitting expression of the cDNA after transfection into a mammalian host cell, such as COS cells. Two expressed polypeptides of the present invention from different mammals are about 140 and 150 amino acids in length, including potential leader sequences. An E. coli culture containing a plasmid (pcD-2A-E3) carrying a mouse cDNA insert of the present invention was deposited with the American Type Culture Collection (A.T.C.C.) on Nov. 18, 1985, and designated accession number 53,330. Two additional E. coli cultures, each carrying plasmids with different human cDNA inserts of the present invention, were deposited with the A.T.C.C. as follows: pcD-2Fl-13 (pcD-46) was deposited on Nov. 26, 1985 and designated accession number 53,337 and pcD-125 was deposited on Mar. 7, 1986 and designated accession number 67,029.

摘要:
A solid-state scanning apparatus for scanning the surface of an original to convert light information into electrical signals suitable for application to a facsimile system is provided. The scanning apparatus comprises a stationary original holder, on which an original to be scanned is placed, a stationary optical system including a solid-state line sensor comprised of at least two CCD image sensing devices arranged in a line to carry out the split scanning with a predetermined overlapping scanning section between the two adjacent scanning sections, a pair of first and second storing devices provided for each of said CCD image sensing devices, a control circuit for controlling the operation of the CCD image sensing devices and the storing devices, and a reciprocatingly movable mirror system for leading the light information of the original to the solid-state line sensor.
