Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a waste toner collecting unit, a moving device, a sheet conveying roller, a driving unit, and a drive force transmitting unit. The waste toner collecting unit receives waste toner. The moving device moves the waste toner in the waste toner collecting unit. The sheet conveying roller transports a transfer sheet. The driving unit drives the sheet conveying roller. The drive force transmitting unit interlinks the moving device to the sheet conveying roller, and transmits a drive force of the driving unit to the moving device via a shaft of the sheet conveying roller.

Abstract: A silicon resonant type pressure sensor has a sensing diaphragm to which a measuring pressure is to be applied; and a vibrating beam which is embedded on the sensing diaphragm, and which is made of a semiconductor, wherein the vibrating beam further has a vibrating beam body having first and second vibrating beams which are allocated in parallel each other, and at least one connecting beam portion which couples the first vibrating beam and the second vibrating beam, a driving vibrating beam portion which is fabricated on a side of at least one side face in an axial direction of the first and second vibrating beams, and which is made of a conductor, and detection vibrating beam portions which are fabricated on sides of another side face in the axial direction of the first and second vibrating beams respectively, and which are made of a conductor.
