Abstract:
There is provided a toner cartridge capable of suppressing the use of the toner cartridge beyond its lifetime due to excessive refilling of toner, the toner cartridge including a housing 2 which forms an internal space for housing toner to be fed to an image forming apparatus and which has a filling port 6 for filling the internal space with the toner, a divider plate 4 which is pivotably supported in a swingable manner inside the housing 2 and which can divide the internal space when being hung down by gravity, and a fixing means which can fit the divider plate 4 in between an engaging projection 9 and a stopper 10 by screw-feeding the lower end of the divider plate 4 by a feed screw 3 for feeding toner and which can fix the divider plate 4 in the state of dividing the internal space.
Abstract:
A current sensor for detecting a full return current is connected to a high voltage generator. A leakage current detector including current sensors for detecting a leakage current is provided at the surface of the cover of a coating machine, air passages and a paint passage. Based on current detection values obtained by the current sensors, a high voltage control unit controls a power supply voltage control unit and a high voltage to be output from the high voltage generator can be raised or dropped. By employing the current detection values, the high voltage control unit can identify and provide notification of a location where the leakage current is increased and the insulation is deteriorated, and can request an operator to perform maintenance for the pertinent location. Further, upon occurrence of the insulation being deteriorated, the high voltage control unit can stop the high voltage supply.
Abstract:
An optical tomographic information generating device which generates optical tomographic information of a subject by using an updated value has: a Jacobian matrix computing unit that computes a Jacobian matrix that expresses a proportion of change in a light intensity distribution with respect to change in an optical characteristic value of the subject; a singular value decomposing unit that acquires a diagonal matrix of the Jacobian matrix; a unit diagonal matrix acquiring unit that acquires a unit diagonal matrix in which diagonal components that are less than or equal to a threshold value are replaced by 0; and a successive approximation unit that carries out approximation by carrying out substitution, that uses the unit diagonal matrix, with respect to a difference between an actually measured value and the computed value that appears in a successive approximation formula of ART (Algebraic Reconstruction Technique), and acquires the updated value.
Abstract:
An atomizer, provided with an air motor and a rotary atomizing head is mounted on a front side of a housing member. An external electrode assembly, provided with support arms, electrode support members and acicular electrode members is mounted on the outer side of the housing member. A high voltage is supplied to acicular electrode members by a high voltage generator. Electrode support members are covered by a tubular cover member formed of an insulating resin film. An annular gap space is formed between the cover member and electrode support members.
