Abstract: A cleaner-less image former that can prevent cleaning efficiency from reducing and maintain high print quality. After a printing process is started, one lookup table LUT is selected from a group of LUTs based on a temperature detected by a temperature sensor and the number of sheets of paper which have been printed. A pre-transfer bias is determined by applying a current value memorized in a feedback current value memorizing part to the selected LUT, the determined pre-transfer bias is applied to a transfer roller, and then a transfer bias is determined based on the above current value and the temperature. The determined transfer bias is applied to the transfer roller. The residual toner remaining on the transfer roller, a charge brush and a memory removal brush is removed by applying the pre-transfer bias.

Abstract: An automatic document feeder (ADF) used in a facsimile machine, photocopier or the like. A sheet path from a sheet inlet to outlet is defined by lower, intermediate and upper frames of the ADF. The sheet path is generally shaped like “C” when viewed laterally. The intermediate frame has a pivotable member that can be opened and closed, and a guide member for guiding a sheet passing over a platen glass. An elastic member is provided for biasing the guide member on the platen surface from a turning portion of the C-shaped sheet path. Therefore, it is possible to maintain a clearance between the platen surface and guide member and prevent the sheet from flapping. A retard roller is removably supported by the pivotable member so that replacing and maintenance of the retard roller is simplified. Further, the pivotable member is a one-piece element and made from resin.

In operation for learning, the position of and a load on the upper die 4 and a bend angle are measured during a bending process and a bend angle after spring back is subsequently measured.

Abstract: The communications terminal device stores data about a kind of a network used by a user of the communications terminal device in relation to a user code. The communications terminal device also stores data about a kind of a network used by a recipient of electronic mail in relation to a recipient name. When the network of the electronic mail sender is different from the network of the recipient, an electronic mail address of the recipient is modified so that the electronic mail being sent can be transmitted between the different networks.

Abstract: A mast in a conventional stacker crane is configured to extend in a vertical direction. Accordingly, the mast is not sufficiently rigid, and may swing in a running direction during running or when the running operation is stopped. An attempt to increase the rigidity results in a thicker mast, thus increasing the size of the stacker crane.

Abstract: The present invention provides a spinning apparatus comprising a spinning member U composed of a nozzle a nozzle member for generating a whirling current and a non-rotary hollow guide shaft member, wherein a yarn passing hole 7b near a tip portion 7a of a hollow guide shaft member 7 is formed to be non-circular. The non-circular yarn passing hole near the tip portion of the hollow guide shaft member makes it possible to vary the whirling speed of reversed fibers whirled in a circumferential direction, thereby increasing the amount of hairinesses occurring in a spun-out yarn. Consequently, a soft spun yarn with many hairinesses can be manufactured without reducing the strength of the generated spun yarn.
