Publication number: 20150331355Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes an image carrier, a developing roller, and a control unit. The image carrier has a surface on which an electrostatic latent image is formed. The developing roller is arranged to face the image carrier to form a development nip between the image carrier and the developing roller. The developing roller supplies toner in a two-component developer carried on a surface of the developing roller to the image carrier in the development nip so as to develop the electrostatic latent image. The control unit drivingly controls the image carrier and the developing roller. The control unit discharges the toner in the development nip to the image carrier in a state where the developing roller is stopped, so as to calculate a toner concentration in the two-component developer based on an amount of discharged toner.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 19, 2015Publication date: November 19, 2015Inventors: Minoru Wada, Ryo Taniguchi

Patent number: 6513214Abstract: A method of producing plural device chips from a thin plate of a pyroelectric material comprises the following steps. First, plural device-forming regions each having an electrode and a circuit pattern for electrically connecting the electrodes are formed on each of front and rear surfaces of the thin plate to obtain a device substrate. By making an electrical connection between the circuit patterns, and grounding it, all of the device-forming regions on the device substrate are at the same potential. Next, a blast treatment is performed to the device substrate to remove a required region of the pyroelectric material, while leaving a bridge portion extending between adjacent device-forming regions and having the circuit patterns thereon, so that a device-chip aggregate is formed, in which adjacent device chips are coupled through the bridge portion. Subsequently, by removing the bridge portion, the device chip is separated from the device-chip aggregate.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2001Date of Patent: February 4, 2003Assignee: Matsushita Electric Works, Ltd.Inventors: Makoto Nishimura, Kenichi Kimura, Nobuyuki Miyagawa, Masato Kawashima, Yoshimitsu Nakamura, Motoo Ikari, Yuji Takada, Ryo Taniguchi

Patent number: 6121614Abstract: A pyroelectric-type IR receiving element comprises a pyroelectric substrate which is fixed to a supporting body at its support ends and at least one rectangular patch formed in the substrate. The patch is formed on its opposite surfaces with first and second electrodes which are overlapped to each other. The substrate has a U-shaped slit composed of a pair of side slits and a base slit connecting the side slits. The U-shaped slit surrounds continuously three sides of the patch, so that the patch is supported by the substrate in a cantilever fashion at a cantilever end which is opposed to one of the support ends of the substrate. Since a thermal stress applied to the substrate when the substrate is exposed to a temperature change is absorbed by the U-shaped slit, a stress concentration to be considered is not developed in the patch. As a result, it is possible to reduce the occurrence of popcorn noise, while maintaining good IR sensitivity.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 1997Date of Patent: September 19, 2000Assignees: Matsushita Electricworks, Ltd., Yamaju Ceramics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Ryo Taniguchi, Motoo Ikari, Tomoaki Matsushima, Hiroyuki Yagyu, Yoshihiro Matsumura, Kyosuke Iribe, Toshiyuki Suzuki, Sadayuki Sumi, Kazuhiro Horiuchi, Hideki Ohashi
