摘要:
In an image forming method using an electrophotographic process, an amount of toner to be supplemented for maintaining a desired image density is estimated in response to input data which are a ratio of reflection densities produced by an optical sensor responsive to a pattern for control and an estimated toner consumption signal. Toner supplement control is executed on the basis of the result of estimation. The method sharply responds to a change in environment due to aging and a change in the kind of documents to thereby insure stable image density, compared to a conventional method relaying on an optical sensor or a toner sensor.
摘要:
A toner density control method senses the concentration of a toner image for control formed on a photoconductive element by an optical sensor and, based on the output of the sensor, corrects a target target toner concentration for toner supplement control to be effected in response to an output of a toner concentration sensor mounted on a developing device. When the output Vs of the optical sensor is determined to be greater than a reference value Vs.sub.0 (short toner deposition), the reference value Vt.sub.0 is corrected to smaller one. When Vs determined to be smaller than Vs.sub.0 (excessive toner deposition), Vt.sub.0 is corrected to greater one. In each of such cases, a predetermined amount n.multidot..DELTA.VT is subtracted from or added to the output Vt of the toner concentration sensor of that instant.

In an image forming apparatus, a voltage for a charger, a voltage for a light source for exposure or similar process condition for image formation is controlled such that a control parameter particular to image formation, e.g., the surface potential of an image carrier (light portion or dark portion) or the amount of toner deposited on the image carrier lies in a first predetermined tolerance width of a target value. Subsequently, the process condition is controlled such that the control parameter lies in a second predetermined tolerance width of the target value which is narrower than the first tolerance width. As a result, the control parameter is confined in the second tolerance width for achieving the final control accuracy.

A technology is disclosed by which, when plural content data are successively transmitted from a server apparatus to a reproduction apparatus through a client apparatus, if the transmission is interrupted, the transmission of the content data can be resumed from the point at which the transmission is interrupted. The transfer device includes a storage section for storing a transmission object list including content identification information corresponding to plural content data to be transmitted from a server apparatus to a reproduction apparatus connected to a client apparatus through the client apparatus. A reception section successively receives the content data from the server apparatus. A transmission section successively transfers the successively received content data to the reproduction apparatus. A control section deletes, every time content data is transferred, the corresponding content identification information from the transmission object list stored in the storage section.

An image pickup device includes a transparent member, an image pickup element chip including a photodiode, and a fixing member arranged around the image pickup element chip, a space being surrounded by the transparent member, the image pickup element chip, and the fixing member. The image pickup element chip includes a semiconductor substrate including a penetrating electrode penetrating through a first main face of the semiconductor substrate on a side of the transparent member and a second main face of the semiconductor substrate opposite the first main face.

A method of manufacturing a piezoelectric vibrator comprises supporting a piezoelectric vibration element in a case by a conductive bonding member, the piezoelectric vibration element having a metal layer formed on a piezoelectric substrate formed of a thickness shear based piezoelectric material, and adding or reducing a thickness of the metal layer to adjust a resonant frequency of the piezoelectric vibration element to a predetermined value. The method also comprises leaving the case into an atmosphere filled with vapor of a material having a nonbonding electron pair, making the metal layer resultantly exposed to the vapor subject to chemical absorption with the material having the nonbonding electron pair, and hermetically encapsulating the case in a state substituted by an inert gas atmosphere.

An active vibration noise control device is preferably used for canceling a vibration noise by making a speaker generate a control sound. Concretely, the active vibration noise control device includes an attenuating unit which attenuates a control signal generated by an adaptive notch filter, and provides the attenuated control signal to the speaker, when amplitude of a filter coefficient is larger than a threshold. Therefore, it is possible to suppress continuous ups and downs of the filter coefficient during an occurrence of an abnormality. Hence, it becomes possible to appropriately suppress an occurrence of a cyclic abnormal sound and an increase in the vibration noise during the occurrence of the abnormality.
