Patent number: 10962904Abstract: An image forming unit includes an image carrier, a body, a shutter unit, a first guiding portion, and a holding portion. The body holds the image carrier with a portion of the image carrying surface being exposed. The shutter unit includes first and second shutter members. The first shutter member is held by the body, being pivotable about a first rotational axis relative to the body, and includes a first inner surface. The second shutter member is held by the first shutter member, being pivotable about a second rotational axis relative to the first shutter member, and includes a second inner surface and first and second contact portions. The shutter unit is shiftable between a closed state and an open state. The closed state is a state extended with the image carrying surface being covered. The open state is a state with the image carrying surface being exposed.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2019Date of Patent: March 30, 2021Assignee: OKI DATA CORPORATIONInventors: Hisatoshi Saito, Yasushi Nakasone

Patent number: 7436051Abstract: A component for fabricating the electronic device comprises a substrate and a conductive film provided on the substrate, in which the adhesion of the conductive film to the substrate is not greater than 0.1 N/cm. The adhesion of the conductive film to the substrate is weak enough to enable the conductive film to be readily peeled from the substrate. This makes it possible to form a component on a substrate other than the substrate used during film formation, thereby greatly increasing the degree of product configuration freedom. If the adhesion of a lower conductive film on the substrate side is made to be not greater than 0.04 N/cm, it becomes very easy to peel the conductive film from the substrate.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 2005Date of Patent: October 14, 2008Assignee: TDK CorporationInventors: Takao Noguchi, Hisatoshi Saito

Patent number: 7173361Abstract: A film bulk acoustic wave resonator of the invention includes a substrate; a resonant structure provided on the substrate constituted by a lower electrode, a piezoelectric film and an upper electrode; and an acoustic multilayer of a plurality of reflective films provided between the substrate and the resonant structure. At least one of the reflective films of the acoustic multilayer has a specified crystal plane orientation, and an X-ray rocking curve full width at half maximum that is preferably not greater than 10 degrees, and more preferably is not greater than 3 degrees. This makes it possible to obtain better resonance characteristics than in the case of the prior art, by increasing the efficiency with which bulk waves propagating towards the substrate are reflected.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 2005Date of Patent: February 6, 2007Assignee: TDK CorporationInventors: Hisatoshi Saito, Takao Noguchi, Kenji Inoue
