Abstract: An image forming apparatus on which a first toner container and a second toner container are mountable, includes an apparatus body, and a moving unit including a first developing unit and a second developing unit, the moving unit being configured to move with respect to the apparatus body between an internal position and an external position. The first developing unit and the second developing unit are configured to be replenished with the toner from the first toner container and the second toner container mounted on the image forming apparatus, respectively, in a state in which the moving unit is at the external position and supported by the apparatus body. The moving unit is configured not to be movable from the external position to the internal position in a state in which the first toner container and the second toner container are mounted on the image forming apparatus.

Abstract: An assistance information generation device that includes a learning unit that generates at least one prediction model by machine learning using project information of a past project, and a prediction unit that predicts at least one piece of assistance data by inputting project information of a target project to the prediction model.

Abstract: The invention prevents overshoot from occurring in flow rate on the output side of a flow rate regulator when output flow rate is changed or the gas type distributed is changed. Thus, an automatic pressure regulator is provided to supply gas pressure to a flow rate regulator that includes a piezoelectric element driving type pressure regulating valve, a control pressure detector provided on the output side of the pressure regulating valve, and a controller to which a detected value P2 of the control pressure detector and a set value Pst for control pressure are input, wherein the controller supplies a control signal to a piezoelectric element driving unit of the pressure regulating valve using a proportional control system to perform valve opening regulation, in which the proportional control system of the controller is set to control to bring about a residual deviation in control pressure by disabling an integral action.

Abstract: An imaging method and an imaging apparatus are provided in which information about white points determined is stored and operation is performed only between the stored white points. The imaging method includes the steps of: automatically or manually determining at least two white points (Steps S1-2, S1-3 and S1-4); storing the above described at least two white points determined (Steps S5, S8 and S13); and manually or automatically adjusting a white point with the range between the above described at least two white points stored as a white point adjustment range (Step S23).

Abstract: An oil filter for preliminarily confirming a correct assembling of a valve body to a holder and for preventing the valve body from being abnormally assembled. A valve seat 22 is welded to a cap 14 covering a filter element 12. A claw portion for a valve body 25e is formed on the valve body 25, and an engagement portion for the valve body 27e to be engaged with the claw portion for the valve body 25e is formed on a holder 15 assembled with the inner peripheral side of the filter element 12. In addition, a spring member 29 is fitted between the valve body 25 and a spring receiving portion 27 provided for the holder 15. By the engagement of the claw portion for the valve body 25e with the engagement portion for the valve body 27e, the valve body 25 is assembled with the holder 15.

Abstract: There is provided an oil filter capable of preliminarily confirming a correct assembling of a valve body to a holder and preventing the valve body from being abnormally assembled.

Abstract: A spring 15 is crimpingly fixed to an element holding plate 14 of the fluid filter. Since the spring 15 is crimpingly fixed to the element holding plate 14, a material having a high elastic limit can be freely selected for the spring 15. At the assembling time, the spring 15 can be prevented from yielding to be elastically deformed, even when the size between the upper end of the element 12 and the crest of the filter case 11 fluctuates. As a result, it is possible to provide a fluid filter which requires no high sizing accuracy of the individual parts composing the fluid filter at the assembling time so that it can be easily assembled.
