Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a photoconductor; a charger, an exposure device, a developing device, a transferor, a cleaner, a belt resistance sensing device, and a transfer bias applier. The charger charges a surface of the photoconductor with a charge of a single polarity. The exposure device irradiates the surface of the photoconductor with light after charging. The developing device supplies a developer to the surface of the photoconductor. The transferor transfers an image developed by the developing device, from the surface of the photoconductor onto an intermediate transfer belt. The cleaner cleans the developer remaining on the surface of the photoconductor after an image transfer by the transferor. The sensing device is provided for the transferor, to detect a resistance value from a current value flowing during application of a transfer bias. The bias applier controls, according to the resistance value detected, the transfer bias applied to the transferor.

Abstract: A speech recognition apparatus (2000) acquires source data (10) representing an audio signal including an utterance. The speech recognition apparatus (2000) converts the source data (10) into a text string (30). The speech recognition apparatus (2000) generates a concatenated text (40) representing a content of an utterance by concatenating a text (32) included in the text string (30). Herein, texts (32) adjacent to each other in the text string (30) are such that parts of associated audio signals overlap each other on a time axis. At a time of concatenating texts (32) adjacent to each other, the speech recognition apparatus (2000) eliminates a trailing portion of a preceding text (32) and a leading portion of a succeeding text (32).

Abstract: An organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display may have an array of organic light-emitting diode pixels that each have OLED layers interposed between a cathode and an anode. Voltage may be applied to the anode of each pixel to control the magnitude of emitted light. The conductivity of the OLED layers may allow leakage current to pass between neighboring anodes in the display. To reduce leakage current and the accompanying cross-talk, resistance of a laterally conductive OLED layer may be increased. The laterally conductive layer may include an organic host material, dopants, and a resistance-increasing additive. Another way to reduce leakage current is to apply bias voltages to the anodes of the display and/or expose the laterally conductive layer to ultraviolet light, causing dopants within the laterally conductive layer to degrade.

Abstract: A medical sheet has a cell infiltration suppressing action, including a nonwoven fabric formed of fiber containing an aliphatic polyester, and having a porosity of 50 to 90%. The sheet is very useful because it has an excellent neuroprotective and/or nerve regeneration promoting action, which protects nerves by suppressing the infiltration of inflammatory cells such as macrophages and not giving stimulation that adversely affects nerves because body fluids pass therethrough, by winding around a nerve at a peripheral nerve injury site.
