  • Publication number: 20210255573
    Abstract: A photosensitive drum rotates about a first axis extending in a first direction. A photosensitive drum is located at one end portion of a housing in a second direction. A cleaning roller cleans a surface of the photosensitive drum. The cleaning roller rotates about a second axis extending in the first direction. A cleaning electrode is electrically connected to the cleaning roller. The cleaning electrode is located at an outer surface of the housing in the first direction. The cleaning electrode is located at a tip end of the one end portion of the housing in the second direction. The cleaning electrode includes a contact surface and a guide surface. The contact surface contacts an electrical contact to which a voltage is supplied. The contact surface is perpendicular to the first direction. The guide surface guides the electrical contact to the contact surface when the drum cartridge is mounted.

  • Publication number: 20210163333
    Abstract: A glass roll of band-shaped glass film is free of skew and single slack when a roll-to-roll mode is used. The band-shaped glass film is wound into a roll shape and has creases formed thereon. The band-shaped glass film includes an effective section with two side edges in a width direction extending parallel to each other, and leading and trailing end portions extending parallel to the width direction. When a length from the leading end portion to the trailing end portion along a surface of the effective section is measured along each of a first position along one side edge and a second position along another side edge, a difference between the first and second measurement lengths is 400 ppm or less of a longer measurement length of the first and second measurement lengths.

  • Publication number: 20210130217
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a glass roll includes separating unnecessary portions from a glass ribbon by cutting the glass ribbon along a longitudinal direction while conveying the glass ribbon. The method also includes passing the glass ribbon, from which the unnecessary portions are separated, through a looseness conveyance region on a conveyance path where the glass ribbon is loosened, and taking up the glass ribbon around a roll core at a downstream end of the conveyance path. A suction conveyor is provided between the looseness conveyance region and the downstream end on the conveyance path. While the glass ribbon is conveyed by the suction conveyor, the glass ribbon is tensioned between the suction conveyor and the downstream end on the conveyance path along with taking up the glass ribbon around the roll core.

  • Publication number: 20200400699
    Abstract: An automatic analyzer allows identification of the patient specimen for which the specific reagent and the standard solution have been used, and verification of reliability of the analysis results. A plot mark 1-10 is determined depending on whether or not codes and lots as management information of the reagent, standard solution, and accuracy control sample are the same as those used last time. The plot 1-3 represents the start of using the reagent, and 1-4 the reagent use area. The plot 1-5 represents generation of calibration curve data from the standard solution and 1-6 a standard solution use area. The plot 1-7 represents measurement of the accuracy control sample and 1-8 an accuracy control sample use area from a time point of measuring the accuracy control sample as indicated by the plot 1-7 until the next time point. The measurement information 1-14 is the region for displaying the measurement results.

  • Patent number: 10768187
    Abstract: In order to easily identify a specimen to be extracted because, for example, an item remains uninspected, from a rack 31 collected in a storage part 13 or the rack 31 taken out from the storage part, a camera of a smart device takes an image of the rack; and a calculation unit included in the smart device provides a mark, by AR technology, at the position of a specimen to be extracted. For example, the item that remains uninspected is identified on the basis of information about a combination of a rack ID and an identifier and information, which is received from an operation unit about specimens at respective positions. Thus, irrespective of a place or whether the specimen to be extracted is inside or outside of the device, the specimen to be extracted can be reliably specified from a plurality of specimen containers provided on a holder.
