The present invention provides a pharmaceutical preparation comprising a compound which can be obtained by reacting a compound having a free amino group with a sugar having the reducing power. The preparation is capable of improving the in vivo durability of various compounds and releasing the compounds in response to changes in pH, and thus is useful for causing the compounds to act specifically on target parts.

A color image forming apparatus includes an image bearing member for carrying an electrostatic latent image, a plurality of developing devices for developing the electrostatic latent image, a supporting member for moving the developing devices sequentially to a developing position opposing the image bearing member, and a detecting device for detecting developer remainder in the developing device. In addition, a determining portion determines the developer remainder. In the developing device in which the detecting operation is effected after the developing operation, the determining portion determines the developer remainder from the information relating to the detected developer remainder. In the developing device of the developing devices for which the detecting operation is effected before the developing operation, the determining portion determines the developer remainder from the information relating to the detected developer remainder and a deduced consumption amount.

An image forming apparatus includes a developing device, a detection mode execution unit, and a notice signal generating unit. The developing device supplies a toner bearing member with toner in a container by rotating a toner supply member in a contact manner with the toner bearing member. The detection mode execution unit executes a detection mode in which a predetermined period for changing a toner amount in the foam layer by rotating the toner supply member is provided, a capacitance C1 between the first and second electrode members is detected before the predetermined period, and a capacitance C2 between the first and second electrode members is detected after the predetermined period. The notice signal generating unit generates a low toner amount notice signal in response to an absolute value |C1−C2| of a difference between the capacitances C1 and C2 being smaller than a predetermined threshold.
摘要:
In an image forming apparatus of a rotary type, when a pause is made during continuous image formation, the time taken to restart image formation after the pause is shortened so as to reduce stress on the user. In the image forming apparatus, it is determined beforehand whether the next image formation mode is a color mode or a mono mode, and a developing device to be first used in the next image formation mode is moved to a developing standby position.

There is disclosed a water-preventing sealant with plasticity, comprising 10 to 60% by weight of a gelled base oil (i) obtained by conducting a gelling reaction of a mixture of 100 parts by weight of an oil, 10 to 100 parts by weight of a fatty acid and a metal hydroxide or oxide contained in an amount sufficient to convert the fatty acid into a metal salt, and 40 to 90% by weight of at least one member (ii) selected from the group consisting of natural and synthetic water-swellable clay minerals. This sealant has excellent water-preventing performance, stability in lapse of time and self-sealing properties, is excellent in heat stability, and has clayey plasticity to ensure high work-efficiency, and also has water-swelling properties suitable for use in water-preventing work and so on.
摘要:
In an image forming apparatus, when no image is being formed, an image bearing member is rotated at least one rotation, in a state in which a transfer bias is controlled such that a potential on a surface of the image bearing member on the upstream side in the rotational direction of a cleaning apparatus is a polarity opposite to that of a developer.
摘要:
An image forming apparatus includes an image bearing member; developing devices, each of which includes a developer carrying member, having an electrode member, for carrying a developer, and a developer feeding member, having a core metal and a surface foam layer, for supplying the developer to the developer carrying member; a supporting member, supporting the developing devices, for sequentially rotating the developing devices to a developing position; and a controller for executing an operation for reducing non-uniform distributions of the developers in the developing devices on the basis of electrostatic capacities between the electrode members and the core metals, respectively.
摘要:
An image forming apparatus includes a rotatable image bearing member; a plurality of rotatable developer carrying members; a plurality of developing devices in each of which a respective one of the developer carrying members is provided; and a developing device supporting member rotatable in a direction of codirectional peripheral movement with the image bearing member where the supporting member and the image bearing member are opposed to each other and integrally supporting the plurality of said developing devices. The peripheral speed of the developing device supporting member divided by a peripheral speed of the image bearing member at the time when each of the developer carrying members departs from the surface of the image bearing member and is still rubbing the surface of the image bearing member with the developer is larger than 0 and smaller than 1.
