Abstract: A fixing member includes an elastic layer and a toner parting layer. The elastic layer includes a laser-irradiated region formed by being irradiated at longitudinal end portions of the elastic layer with laser light except for at least one non-laser-irradiated region with respect to a circumferential direction of the elastic layer. The elastic layer is coated with the toner parting layer.

Abstract: There is provided an image pickup apparatus including a pixel including a photoelectric conversion element and an amplification element for amplifying and outputting a signal generated at the photoelectric conversion element, a load transistor for controlling an electric current flowing at the amplification element, and a potential control element for suppressing potential fluctuation in a first main electrode region of the load transistor which is an output side of the amplification element.

Abstract: A UI display unit provides a user interface used to input a plurality of adjustment values required to color-match display colors of a plurality of tones on a display device with corresponding target colors of a plurality of tones. An acquisition unit acquires color matching data indicating correspondence between adjusted display colors of the plurality of tones and the target colors of the plurality of tones from the plurality of adjustment values. A calculator generates correction parameters of colors displayed on the display device from the color matching data.

Abstract: There is provided a resin-coated carrier with a coating layer attached to the surface of a core material in a stable manner, the electrophotographic carrier which can provide an image with excellent quality.

Abstract: A display system for a camera of the type having shutter preselection and diaphragm preselection automatic exposure control modes which are selectively operative by a switch is provided with a single array of decimal digit display elements for displaying the numerical values of the preselected shutter speed or diaphragm aperture and of the computed result representing the effective aperture or exposure time respectively at a time in combination with control means cooperative with the mode select switch for controlling relative display arrangement of the numerical values and/or display color change, thereby it being made possible for the photographer looking the display to insure that the camera operates in the intentionally selected exposure control mode.
