摘要:
A fixing device includes a fixing unit, a power supply unit, a pressure applying unit, and a controller. The fixing unit fixes toner onto a recording medium, using heat generated by a heat generator. The power supply unit supplies power to drive the fixing unit. The pressure applying unit applies pressure to the recording medium in a nip part between the pressure applying unit and the fixing unit. When plural recording media are sequentially transported, the controller controls the power supply unit to supply power during a first time period from when a trailing edge of one of the recording media passes the nip part to when a leading edge of the subsequent recording medium arrives at the nip part, in accordance with a relationship between the first time period and a second time period required to start the supply of power after the supply of power is stopped.

A fixing device includes a fixing unit, a power controller, a pressure applying unit, and a timing controller. The fixing unit fixes toner onto a recording medium transported in a determined transport direction, by using heat generated by a heat generator. The power controller controls supply of power for heating the fixing unit. The pressure applying unit applies pressure to the recording medium in a nip part formed between the pressure applying unit and the fixing unit. The timing controller controls the power controller to start supply of the power at a time which is a determined time period prior to an arrival time at which a leading edge of the recording medium in the transport direction arrives at the nip part.

A fuel battery system of the present invention includes: an alkaline fuel battery; a fuel supply device for supplying a fuel to an anode of the fuel battery; an oxidizing agent supply device for supplying an oxidizing agent to a cathode of the fuel battery; a liquid supply device which supplies a liquid to the cathode; a valve which switches between fluids to be supplied to the cathode; and a control device which controls the switching of the valve. The fuel battery system suppresses the neutralization of an anion-exchange electrolyte due to carbon dioxide in the air, by supplying the liquid from the liquid supply device to the cathode and making the cathode in the state of being immersed in the liquid when the fuel battery stops power generation.

Disclosed is a bipolar plate for a fuel cell including a bipolar plate substrate; and a byproduct-decomposing layer covering the bipolar plate substrate, the bipolar plate has channels for transport of a reactant gas, the channels being arranged on a surface of the bipolar plate substrate, and the bipolar plate has a first side to face an anode catalyst layer of the fuel cell and a second side to face a cathode catalyst layer of the fuel cell. The byproduct-decomposing layer is arranged on at least one of the first side and the second side, includes a catalyst, and is capable of decomposing a byproduct formed as a result of a reaction of the fuel cell. The bipolar plate enables long-term control of discharge of formic acid and other byproducts without deterioration in system efficiency of the fuel cell.
