  • Publication number: 20240135155
    Abstract: In a data processing device, a fixed-point position control unit determines, as first control. The fixed-point position control unit causes a detection calculation unit to perform calculation processing on processing target data at a processing point in time. The saturation rate control unit instructs, as second control to be repeated by the fixed-point position control unit, the fixed-point position control unit to move at least the fixed-point position as control to increase a lower limit saturation rate proportional to a magnitude of a counted lower limit counter value with respect to a result of the first control. The fixed-point position control unit performs, as the second control, a predetermined determination on the basis of the instruction from the saturation rate control unit and the metadata, determines the fixed-point position moved for each layer, and causes calculation processing to be performed.

  • Patent number: 11531289
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes an accommodating portion, a motor, and a development sensor. In the accommodating portion, a replacement developing component is fitted. The replacement developing component is fitted with a rotary member including an operating member, and stores toner. The motor rotates the rotary member on the replacement developing component fitted in the accommodating portion. When a new replacement developing component is fitted, the development sensor is not in contact with the operating member before the motor rotates the rotary member and is in contact with the operating member on the rotary member that has moved as the motor rotates. The development sensor outputs a first level when in contact with the operating member and outputs a second level when not in contact with the operating member.

  • Patent number: 11368591
    Abstract: A drive motor drives conveyance rollers. A controller generates a control signal to control the drive motor based on information indicating a rotational speed of the drive motor. The controller generates an initial control signal to drive the conveyance rollers since before conveyance of a sheet by the conveyance rollers and acquires a characteristic value of the initial control signal as a reference value. While the conveyance rollers are conveying the sheet, the controller performs determination processing to determine whether or not to stop the drive motor driving the conveyance rollers based on the characteristic value of the control signal and the reference value.
