Abstract: The present invention provides a solid electrolytic capacitor having sufficiently low impedance at high frequencies in which a conductive polymer formed on a dielectric oxide film has good adherence to the dielectric oxide film, and a manufacturing method of the solid electrolytic capacitor. The solid electrolytic capacitor of the present invention includes a valve metal; a dielectric oxide film layer formed on a surface of the valve metal; and a solid electrolyte layer, comprising a conductive polymer layer, formed on the dielectric oxide film layer. The conductive polymer layer contains, as an additive, 0.1 wt % to 30 wt % of an organic oligomer having an average degree of polymerization of 2 to 100.

Abstract: In a method of manufacturing a solid electrolytic capacitor in which an electrolyte layer containing a conductive polymer is formed by chemical oxidative polymerization on a dielectric oxide film layer formed by anodizing surfaces of a valve metal, an ammonium peroxodisulfate solution adjusted to pH 6 to 8 is used as an oxidant in forming the conductive polymer layer.

Abstract: A solid electrolytic capacitor according to this invention includes a capacitor element with a drawn-out anode lead, a conversion substrate mounted with the capacitor element, and a casing resin covering the capacitor element mounted on the conversion substrate. The conversion substrate has, on one surface thereof, a connection pattern composed of an anode portion connected to the anode lead and a cathode portion connected to the body of the capacitor element. The conversion substrate further has, on another surface thereof on the side opposite to the foregoing one surface, a terminal pattern composed of an anode terminal and a cathode terminal connected to the anode portion and the cathode portion through the conversion substrate, respectively. The terminal pattern differs from the connection pattern.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes an image reading part for performing a reading operation of reading an image, an image output part for performing an output operation of outputting the image read by the image reading part on a sheet, and a stopping section for stopping only one of the reading operation of the image reading part and the output operation of the image output part.

Abstract: Apparatus and method of producing a thin metal ribbon by pouring a molten metal onto the surface of a quench roll rotating at a high speed so as to rapidly cool and solidify the metal to form the ribbon, separating the ribbon from the quench roll and conveying the same to a take-up device. A compressed gas is blown tangent to the quench roll to separate the ribbon from the quench roll. The separated ribbon is sucked and caught by a suction conveyor which runs at a velocity greater than the speed of production of the thin meal ribbon thereby imparting tension to the ribbon.

Abstract: A cleaning device for use in image forming equipment has a cleaning blade for removing a toner remaining on an image carrier in the form of a photoconductive element, and a toner discharge coil for driving the removed toner out of the device. A rotatable member is interposed between the blade and the coil and between the coil and the photoconductive element. The toner scraped off the photoconductor element by the blade falls onto the rotatable member and is thereby transported to the coil.

Abstract: A copying machine including a light exposure device having a stationary light source for illuminating an original to be copied and adapted to form an electrostatic latent image on a photo-sensitive member through exposure by said light exposure device. A copying machine provided with a first insertion port and a transfer means adapted to feed an original to be copied from the first insertion port to the discharge position through the light exposure position so as to transfer an original to be copied, a second insertion port for inserting an original to be copied from the direction different from the first insertion port and a second transfer means adapted to reverse the feeding direction and the surface of the original to be copied from said second insertion port and feed the same to the exposure position.
