摘要:
An image forming apparatus is provided having a mechanism that toner density of a toner image is automatically adjusted based on a toner patch. In an image forming apparatus including a document conveying section, a document reading section, an image forming section, a sheet discharging section, a sheet feeding section, a patch density detecting section, and a toner density adjusting section for adjusting density of a toner image depending on a result detected by the patch density detecting section, there are further provided a patch forming section for forming a toner patch, an operation detecting section for detecting an operating state of the patch density detecting section, and a patch printing section for printing the toner patch in response to such a result detected by the operation detecting section that the patch density detecting section does not properly operate, thereby adjusting the toner density based on the patch image.

An image forming apparatus that can reduce a difference in fog or image density between two facing pages of a booklet formed after duplex printing is provided. A CCD line sensor inputs a series of pieces of image data whose order of printing has been determined in advance. The CCD line sensor, a first storage section, a second storage section, and a calculation section determine a difference in printing density between the first face and the second face of the printing medium after duplex printing. A judgment section judges whether or not to change the order of printing based on the difference in printing density. A control unit controls the order of printing of the image data based on the judgment. An image forming section, a paper supply section, an image reading section, and an operation section print the image data on the printing medium.
摘要:
A developing device using a trickle system is realized which includes developer discharging means for (i) suppressing changes in discharge of developer due to inclinations of the developing device and (ii) maintaining the stability in amount of the developer in a developer tank. In the developing device, the developer tank includes agitating chambers parted by a partition, and each of the agitating chambers has an agitating screw. Further, discharging openings for discharging an excess of the developer in the developer tank are provided downstream in transport directions of the agitating screws, respectively.

In the development apparatus and the image forming apparatus of the present invention, a first regulation member for regulating an upper surface of developer is provided on an adjacent and downstream portion with respect to a developer outlet in terms of travel direction of developer. The amount of developer passing below the first regulation member is thus adjusted. On this account, the present invention provides a development apparatus and an image forming apparatus capable of maintaining appropriate amount of developer in the developer container by reducing influence of developer fluidity or the like. With stable stirring performance and development performance, the development apparatus and the image forming apparatus of the present invention perform secure development, including the time period until the extra developer overflows and is discharged.

An object is to provide a cochlear implant system (also known as an artificial inner ear system) which is easy to use with little interference with daily activities. A cochlear implant device (or artificial inner ear device) includes an inner ear electrode, an information processing circuit, a transmitter/receiver circuit, a charging circuit, and a battery; and the battery is charged with electromagnetic waves received by the transmitter/receiver circuit through the charging circuit. In addition, the power stored in the battery is supplied to the cochlear implant device. Further, the electromagnetic waves received by the transmitter/receiver circuit are converted into a signal by the information processing circuit, and the signal is provided from the inner ear electrode to stimulate the auditory nerve.

A vehicle headlamp ventilation system includes a dust-resistant maze box. The maze box comprises a pair of rubber hose connections provided on opposite ends of a box, the box having an opening portion at one surface thereof, and ribs extending from the bottom surface of the box to the opening portion and which define a zig-zag flow path inside the box to prolong a spatial distance between the pair of rubber hose connections. The ribs are provided interiorly of the box, and the opening portion is closed by a cover which contacts the upper edges of the ribs. The dust-resistant maze box may also be formed integrally with a housing of a vehicle headlamp with the bottom surface of the box common with the housing of the headlamp.

The present invention provides a higher-performance assist device which is safer by using a wireless charging technique. The assist device includes a detecting portion and an assist device driving portion. The detecting portion includes a sensor, a first transmitting/receiving circuit, a first data processing circuit, a first charging circuit, and a first battery. The assist device driving portion includes a driving portion, a second data processing circuit, a second transmitting/receiving circuit, a second charging circuit, and a second battery. Electromagnetic waves are transmitted from the second transmitting/receiving circuit provided in the assist device driving portion, and the first transmitting/receiving circuit provided in the detecting portion receives the electromagnetic waves. Induced electromotive force generated at this time is input to the first charging circuit through the first data processing circuit provided in the detecting portion, and the first battery provided in the detecting portion is charged.
