摘要:
An image forming apparatus includes a rotatable image bearing member for bearing a developer image, a developing device for developing an electrostatic latent image on the image bearing member into the developer image and a cleaning blade. In addition, a controller executes a stop operation of the image bearing member in which the image bearing member is, after being temporarily stopped at an end of an image forming operation, rotated in the same direction as that during the image forming operation and then is rotated in a direction opposite to that during the image forming operation, and a predicting portion predicts a remaining usable lifetime of the image bearing member. In the stop operation of the image bearing member after the remaining usable lifetime is below a threshold, the controller controls an amount of rotation in the direction opposite to that during the image forming operation so as to be smaller than the amount of rotation before the remaining usable lifetime is below the threshold.

An image forming apparatus includes an image bearing member for bearing a developer image; a driving portion for rotationally driving the image bearing member; a developing device for developing an electrostatic latent image on the image bearing member into the developer image; a cleaning blade, slidably contacting the image bearing member which is rotated, for removing from the image bearing member a developer remaining on the image bearing member after transfer of the developer image; a controller capable of executing a stop operation of the image bearing member in which the image bearing member is, after being temporarily stopped at the time of an end of an image forming operation, rotated in the same direction as that during the image forming operation and then is rotated in a direction opposite to that during the image forming operation; and a predicting portion for predicting a remaining usable lifetime of the image bearing member. In the stop operation of the image bearing member after the remaining usable lifetime is below a threshold, the controller controls an amount of rotation in the direction opposite to that during the image forming operation so as to be smaller than the amount of rotation before the remaining usable lifetime is below the threshold.

A video game processing apparatus for controlling progress of a video game is provided. The video game includes a battle against an enemy character. A basic character that becomes a basis for the enemy character is determined when the battle is started. Additional data on items are determined. The items are allowed to set up to the determined basic character. The items include at least one of an equipping ability, an equipped item, and an equipped accessory in addition to a strength level on the battle and a level on the video game. The enemy character is then generated by setting up the determined additional data to the determined basic character. Basic character data in which the basic character to become the basis for the enemy character is associated with the items of the additional data are stored in a basic data memory.

The invention includes a read-restriction setting step of setting read restriction on a program stored in hardware of an industrial product in response to a read restriction request, and a read requesting step of transmitting a read request for the program to the industrial product from an engineering tool that is a read request source. In the read-restriction setting step unique individual information retained in the hardware of the industrial product or unique individual information retained in hardware for executing an engineering tool that is a read-restriction request source is registered as registration individual information, and in the read requesting step, unique individual information retained in hardware for executing the engineering tool that is the read request source or unique individual information retained in the hardware of the industrial product is compared with the registration individual information.

An industrial automatic-diagnostic device connected to an FA system in which a plurality of FA devices are connected to each other, the industrial automatic-diagnostic device includes: an engineering tool; and a display unit. Based on interface connection information and device configuration information of a corresponding FA device held by each of the FA devices, the engineering tool creates overall configuration information of the FA system and displays an overall configuration of the FA system on the display unit based on the overall configuration information. When an abnormality occurs in the FA device, diagnosis information about an abnormal part self-diagnosed by the FA device and abnormality contents with respect to the abnormality occurred in a corresponding abnormal part is obtained. Based on the obtained diagnosis information, occurrence of an abnormality is displayed in an abnormal part in an overall configuration of the FA system displayed on the display unit.
