  • Publication number: 20110091005
    Abstract: The use time till a display unit including an hour meter (a time measuring device) is replaced can be continued even if the time measuring device fails, and false alteration after shipping can be prevented while infallibly resetting the hour meter to zero when the vehicle equipped with the hour meter is shipped from the factory. The cargo handling vehicle includes a first storage device for accumulatively storing the vehicle use time measured by a first time measuring device provided in a display unit of the vehicle and a second storage device for accumulatively storing the vehicle use time measured by a second time measuring device provided in a control device. The control device allows the first and second storage devices to communicate the accumulated use times stored therein when the electric power of the vehicle is turned on. The control device compares the accumulated use times and writes the longer accumulated use time in the storage device storing the shorter one.

  • Publication number: 20100054102
    Abstract: A laser driving device includes a storage unit that stores signal patterns for recording-waveform control representing level information of each divided driving signal to drive a laser device on a space and a mark based on the divided driving signals. Also, it includes a pulse generator that generates the reference pulse and the switching pulse based on a first transmission signal and a second transmission signal. The first transmission signal contains timing information for acquiring a reference pulse that represents a timing of repetitively switching between the space and the mark. The second transmission signal contains timing information for acquiring a switch pulse that represents a timing of switching the signals. Among level information for each of the signals in the storage, reference level information is read together with the reference pulse. Other level information after the reference level information is sequentially read for each switching pulse.

  • Publication number: 20090127741
    Abstract: A process produces polyester film which is effectively reduced in the disadvantageous lengthwise and widthwise heat shrinkages inherent in biaxially oriented film and which is excellent in flatness and mechanical characteristics. More specifically, process produces biaxially oriented polyester film by subjecting a biaxially oriented polyester film which has been drawn in the lengthwise and widthwise directions and heat-treated to widthwise relaxation and lengthwise relaxation by a method of shortening the clip intervals, wherein the biaxially oriented polyester film is held under stretching between the widthwise relaxation step and the lengthwise relaxation step.

  • Patent number: 6592984
    Abstract: Electrophotographic transfer paper comprising base paper having provided on at least one side thereof a coating layer mainly comprising a pigment and a binder at a solids content of 2 to 12 g/m2, which has an Oken's smoothness of 60 to 300 seconds on each side thereof, an air permeability of 10 to 90 seconds, and a coefficient of paper-to-paper friction of 0.5 to 0.9 at 28° C. and 85% RH. The transfer paper has excellent running properties on a digital full-color copying machine or printer of indirect dry electrophotographic system irrespective of the environment of use, especially in a high humidity environment, while proving a satisfactory image.

  • Patent number: 6221210
    Abstract: The present invention relates to transfer paper in electrophotography that shrinks by no more than 0.45% in a direction crossing a flow in making paper process and which has a two sideness shrinkage difference in a crossing direction ranging 0.02 to −0.02%. The present invention also relates a process for producing electrophotographic transfer paper comprising the steps of feeding pulp suspension liquid onto at least one wire to form a paper layer in making paper process, in which a ratio between feeding speed of the pulp suspension liquid and moving speed of wire is controlled to cause a propagating velocity ratio of longitudinal waves of a produced transfer paper in the range from 1.1 to 1.5.
