The present invention relates to a process cartridge removably mountable on an image forming apparatus comprising a support, a rotary member having an image bearing surface and rotatably supported by the support, and a rotatable developing roller supported by the support, for carrying developer thereon and supplying the developer to the image bearing surface to develop a latent image formed on the image bearing surface. A first gear is arranged coaxial with the rotary member, a second gear is arranged coaxial with the developing roller and meshed with the first gear, and a guide means is provided for guiding the developing roller in a direction toward and away from the rotary member. The direction in which the developing roller is guided by the guide means is inclined with respect to a straight line connecting the center of rotation of the rotary member to the center of rotation of the developing roller, by an angle between 0.7.times..THETA. (.THETA. is a pressure angle of the second gear) and 1.3.times..THETA.. The cartridge further includes a bias means for biasing the developing roller toward the image bearing surface.

An ink jet recording apparatus comprises a mounting portion on which an ink jet cartridge is detachably mounted, the cartridge having a connector and a recording head portion for discharging ink to perform image recording. The mounting portion has a body connector associated therewith for electrically connecting the connector of the cartridge to the apparatus. A recording head positioner positions the recording head portion of the cartridge on the mounting portion. An operation device displaces the cartridge and the body connector relative to each other to connect the body connector to the cartridge connector.

There is provided an image forming apparatus such as a copying apparatus having a sensor to detect the front edge of an original and a sensor to detect the front edge of a paper onto which a copy image of the original is formed, in which the copying operation is started in accordance with the result of the detections by both sensors. A distance which is obtained by adding a distance from an exposing position of a photosensitive drum and a distance from an original feed roller to an exposing position is equalized to a distance from the copy transfer position of the photosensitive drum to a paper feed roller. If such distances differ, the feeding timing of the original or paper is delayed in accordance with the difference between those distances. Thus, the cheap and small copying apparatus can be realized without using an expensive control system such as a registration roller.

A work machine includes a main pole internally including a rotation shaft, a tool unit located at one end of the main pole, and a power unit located at another end of the main pole. The main pole includes a first partial pole, a second partial pole and a joint member that joints them to each other. The first partial pole includes a positioning member. The joint member includes a positioning hole configured to engage with the positioning member and a guide groove extending from the positioning hole. The guide groove is configured to guide the positioning member to the positioning hole and to allow the positioning member to escape in at least a section thereof.

An electroconductive bonding material contains a thermosetting resin, a low-melting-point metal powder which is melted at a temperature equal to or lower than the thermosetting temperature of the thermosetting resin, a high-melting-point metal powder which is not melted at a temperature equal to or lower than the thermosetting temperature of the thermosetting resin and which reacts with the low-melting-point metal powder to form a reaction product having a high melting point of 300° C. or higher during heat-hardening of the thermosetting resin, and a reducing substance which removes an oxide formed on the surface of the high-melting-point metal powder. The total content of the low-melting-point metal powder and the high-melting-point metal powder is 75% to 88% by weight, and the particle size ratio D1/D2 of the average particle size D1 of the low-melting-point metal powder to the average particle size D2 of the high-melting-point metal powder is 0.5 to 6.0. Thereby, an electroconductive bonding material is provided which has good conduction properties and high connection strength even when reflow heat treatment is repeatedly carried out or thermal shock accompanied with a rapid temperature change is applied to the electroconductive bonding material, and an electronic apparatus using such an electroconductive bonding material.

The method of the present invention first provides a plurality of representative color points existing on the surface of a gamut (s20), and sets a plurality of boundary lines that connect the plurality of representative color points substantially along the surface of the gamut (s22). The method subsequently defines a plurality of unit faces that are respectively surrounded by at least three boundary lines and arranged substantially along the surface of the gamut (s24), and sets a color plane to cross the gamut (s26). The method successively selects cross boundary lines that cross the color plane among the plurality of boundary lines, determines intersections of the cross boundary lines and the color plane, selects unit faces that cross the color plane based on the selected cross boundary lines, specifies cross lines of the selected unit faces and the color plane by connecting the intersections, and joins the cross lines to extract a contour of a cross plane area obtained by causing the color plane to cross the gamut (s28). This structure enables the contour of a cross plane area, which is obtained by causing a color plane to cross the gamut, to be accurately extracted even when the color plane is arranged at any arbitrary position and in any arbitrary orientation.
