Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes plural rotating members that are rotatable; an annular circulating member that is wound around the plural rotating members and circulates when the rotating members rotate; a retaining member attached to an attaching portion of the circulating member and that circulates together with the circulating member, the retaining member being configured to retain a recording medium in an area where the attaching portion comes into contact with one of the rotating members; an image forming section that forms an image on the recording medium at an image forming position defined on a circulation path along which the circulating member circulates; a delivering unit that delivers the recording medium to a retaining position where the recording medium is to be retained by the retaining member; a detector that detects rotation of the one rotating member; and a controller that controls delivery of the recording medium from the delivering unit to the retaining position, the delivery being con

Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor chip, a circuit board, a heat releasing plate, an adhesive member, and a conductive member. The circuit board transmits a signal of the semiconductor chip. The heat releasing plate has the semiconductor chip disposed thereon, and has an opening in a region on the outer side of a semiconductor chip placement region that is a region in which the semiconductor chip is disposed. The adhesive member is disposed in a region on the outer side of the opening on a different surface of the heat releasing plate from the surface on which the semiconductor chip is disposed, and bonds the circuit board and the heat releasing plate to each other. The conductive member connects the semiconductor chip and the circuit board to each other via the opening.

Abstract: The present invention relates-to-a-vacuum pump and a method of starting a vacuum pump. The vacuum pump includes a pump rotor (1) rotatably disposed in a casing (2), and a pump-rotor controller (15) for controlling rotation of the pump rotor (1) in a forward direction or a reverse direction in accordance with a predetermined pattern at the time of starting the vacuum pump.

Abstract: The present invention is to provide a magnetic bearing controller capable of reliably controlling the position of a floating member at a target position, even when the length of the cable connecting the magnetic bearing and the controller is changed. The magnetic bearing controller comprises: an electromagnet for supporting a floating member in a floating state; sensors (Z1, Z2) for sensing the floating position of the floating member; and a controller for supplying sensor signals and an exciting currents via cables to the sensors and electromagnets, respectively, in order to support the floating member at a predetermined floating position based on signals received from the sensors, wherein the controller comprises.

Abstract: A magnetic suspending device which can detect the temperature of a controlled object and assure a safe operation thereof without any need for any special construction or work to the device and any special maintenance is disclosed.

Abstract: A DC motor apparatus which can be started with a power supply having a small current capacity and which provides a large driving force. The DC motor apparatus comprises a permanent magnet in a rotor of the DC motor, a plurality of coils provided at a stator of the DC motor, a distributor for controlling the switching of current paths to the coils and a position detector for detecting a rotational position of the rotor of the motor to output switching signal to the distributor. A pulsating unit is further provided for pulsating currents supplied to the coils whereby a current flowing from the distributor to any one of the coils can be pulsated when the DC motor is activated, resulting in easy starting the DC motor.

Abstract: A displacement sensing circuit for sensing a displacement of a measured object without any contact with the measured object. A detecting coil is disposed relative to the measured object to be capable of changing its inductance in response to a displacement of the measured object from a predetermined position. An output signal from the detecting coil is passed through a band-pass filter. The filter has a frequency band width which is equal to at least twice the upper limit of a response frequency of the sensing circuit, thereby outputting a signal less influenced by a noise. An output from the band-pass filter is detected to provide a signal corresponding to the displacement of the measured object.
