Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a drive source which is detachably mountable to a main body, wherein the main body includes a gear which can be driven rotatable by the drive source and which includes a coupling protrusion on a radial line. A process cartridge includes a photosensitive drum, a process unit which acts upon the photosensitive drum, and a coupling hole which is provided at an end part of a radial direction of the photosensitive drum. The photosensitive drum set in the main body rotates by receiving a drive force from the drive source via the coupling protrusion and the coupling hole when a cover member of the main body is closed, and the coupling protrusion and the coupling hole are fit together.

Abstract: There is provided a semiconductor manufacturing system and a method for cleaning the same. Silicon oxide adhering to Elements, which constitute the system, is removed by a cleaning gas containing an HF gas and a water vapor together with by heating the elements.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a facsimile device utilizing an improved process unit for an electrophotographic image recording device. The process unit includes a development unit and a photosensitive (drum) unit. These two units can be integrally engaged with each other and the combined two units is as a whole removable from/attached to the facsimile device when maintenance is required due to jammed paper or the like. When one of the units is to be replaced with a new unit because of exhaustion or the like, the combined two units can be separated and subject to maintenance (replacement). In the present invention, this process unit is accommodated in a main body frame of a facsimile having an image recording part such that the unit can be removed from/attached to the main body frame in the vertical direction. A scan part frame having a continuous document scan part and a flat head bed scanner is rotatably mounted on the main body frame.

Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a one-shot pulse generating circuit that generates a one-shot pulse having a predetermined pulse width at a rise or fall timing of a first clock signal, a cycle time measuring circuit that measures a cycle-time of the first clock signal from the one-shot pulse output from the one-shot pulse generating circuit, an internal clock generating circuit that generates a second clock signal based on the cycle time measured by the cycle time measuring circuit and the one-shot pulse output from the one-shot pulse generating circuit. The second clock signal has a cycle time identical to the first clock signal and has a rise or fall timing which is advanced by a specific time than that of the first clock signal, and the specific time is obtained by subtracting the cycle time of the first clock signal from a predetermined time, and a data output circuit that outputs data after a predetermined delay time from the rise or fall timing of the second clock signal.

Abstract: An image recording machine (8) having a remaining toner detection unit arranged inside a main body of a developer (41). Toner (40) is housed in the developer main body. The image recording machine (8) also includes a scraper (57) which cleans toner (40) out of a recess (56a) of the remaining toner detection unit as it is rotated integrally with an agitator. A supply member (47) for supplying stored toner (40) to the recess (56a) of the remaining toner detection unit rotates with the scraper (57) and is arranged at a 90.degree. angle downstream from the scraper (57) relative to their direction of rotation. The supply member (47) is formed as a flexible member.

Abstract: An image recording device for forming a toner image on a photosensitive drum using an electrophotographic technique. The image recording device includes opposed metallic frames each having a notch for receiving and supporting an end of a metallic shaft of the photosensitive drum so that the photosensitive drum is supported between the metallic frames. A plate spring is located in the vicinity of one of the metallic frames such that the plate spring is forced to contact the photosensitive drum shaft when the photosensitive drum is supported between the metallic frames. The metallic frames have a fixed relation relative to a main frame of the image recording device. A power source is connected to the plate spring and the associated metallic frame is earthed. Thus, a current flows from the power source to the plate spring, the drum shaft and the associated metallic frame in turn when the photosensitive drum is supported on the metallic frames.
