Patent number: 10838329Abstract: An image heating apparatus includes first and second heat generating elements arranged adjacent to each other, and a control portion that controls power supplied to the first and second heat generating elements, and that is capable of individually controlling the first and second heat generating elements, the first and second heat generating elements being respectively controlled so as to maintain a control temperature. When an image exists in a second region on the recording material heated by the second heat generating element, and an image does not exist in a first region on the recording material heated by the first heat generating element, the control portion sets the control temperature of the second heat generating element, when heating the second region, in accordance with a distance between an end section of the image in the second region and a boundary of the first region and the second region.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2019Date of Patent: November 17, 2020Assignee: Canon Kabuskiki KaishaInventors: Masato Sako, Atsushi Iwasaki

Patent number: 5946688Abstract: A system of data storage tables (10A) include an extendable subject table (12) for storing subject UID entries, and an extendable element table (16) for storing UID element entries and aggregate UID entries and role UID entries. The UIDs stored in the tables specify relationships between the UIDs, and collectively define a tangle (10B) of connecting paths. The tangle spreads out between subject nodes corresponding to subject UIDs, and aggregation nodes corresponding to aggregate UIDs, and role nodes corresponding to role UIDs. Each subject node and aggregation node and role node is path connected through the tangle to other subject UIDs and aggregate UIDs and role UIDs defining the relationship between the UIDs in the tables.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 1997Date of Patent: August 31, 1999Assignee: Canon Kabuskiki KaishaInventor: Michael G. Roberts

Patent number: 5528342Abstract: An image forming apparatus having a process cartridge detachable from the main body of the apparatus, wherein the process cartridge has an image bearing member and a process device for performing a process on the image bearing member. The image forming apparatus has a frame including a process cartridge positioning portion and a guide member, and a transfer device. The guide member included with the frame guides the recording medium to the process cartridge positioned by the process cartridge positioning portion, and the process cartridge positioning portion and the guide member are formed integrally With the frame by a molding method.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 1995Date of Patent: June 18, 1996Assignee: Canon Kabuskiki KaishaInventor: Takeshi Setoriyama

Patent number: 4757331Abstract: A recorder having an ink re-supply system for a moving ink tank has a movable record element for recording data, a first tank movable with the record element, a fixed second tank, a recording liquid path connecting the two tanks, and a supply device for supplying recording liquid during periods when the recording liquid path is established. Structure is also provided for connecting and disconnecting the recording liquid path. The connection/disconnection structure includes an opening through which part of the recording liquid path extends. The recorder can also include a flexible curtain blade for protecting the inside of the recording liquid path and through which the recording liquid path extends when it is established by the connection/disconnection means structure.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 1986Date of Patent: July 12, 1988Assignee: Canon Kabuskiki KaishaInventor: Nobutoshi Mizusawa
