Patent number: 11977344Abstract: An image forming apparatus to which a toner container is detachably mountable includes a mounting portion to which the toner container is detachably mountable and which includes a receiving port for receiving toner supplied from the toner container, a passage for permitting passing of the toner received through the receiving port and provided with a through hole, and a filter portion provided so as to cover the through hole and for permitting passing of air; and an accommodating portion configured to accommodate the toner received through the receiving port. At least a part of the through hole overlaps with the receiving port as viewed in a horizontal direction perpendicular to a direction of gravitation.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2022Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: CANON KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Shinjiro Toba, Hiroshi Takarada, Hiroyuki Munetsugu, Goshi Ozaki, Sohta Sugimoto, Mitsuhiro Sato, Shinichi Nishida, Yuichi Fukui, Yukio Kubo

Patent number: 11287888Abstract: A system and method are disclosed in which in a conventional non-grounding man-machine interface having no reaction base on the human body and for giving the existence of a virtual object and the impact force of a collision to a person, a haptic sensation of a torque, a force and the like can be continuously presented in the same direction, which cannot be presented by only the physical characteristic of a haptic sensation presentation device. In a haptic presentation device, the rotation velocity of at least one rotator in the haptic presentation device is controlled by a control device, and a vibration, a force or a torque as the physical characteristic is controlled, so that the user is made to conceive various haptic information of the vibration, force, torque or the like.Type: GrantFiled: December 26, 2018Date of Patent: March 29, 2022Assignees: National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology, Murata Manufacturing Co., LTD.Inventors: Norio Nakamura, Yukio Fukui, Masataka Sakai
