Publication number: 20240085832Abstract: The present invention provides a fixing device including a flexible cylindrical rotary member and an inner-surface opposing portion that opposes an inner surface of the rotary member at an end portion of the rotary member in a generatrix direction. The inner-surface opposing portion moves upstream in a recording material conveying direction in accordance with lateral shift of the rotary member in the generatrix direction. This restricts the lateral shift of the rotary member.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 21, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Hideki Ohta, Terutaka Endo, Seiji Obata, Jiro Moriya, Takayuki Mizuta

Patent number: 8115166Abstract: A method of controlling a mass spectrometer comprises the steps of: supplying a current to a cathode electrode of an ion source having the cathode electrode and an anode electrode, and ionizing a molecules of a gas to be measured; selecting ions generated in the ion source by mass-to-charge ratio; and detecting an ion current value of the selected ions. When a partial pressure of the gas to be measured is measured based on a detection result of the ion current value, a cathode current is supplied to the cathode electrode such that an emission current flowing between the cathode electrode and the anode electrode becomes constant. When a partial pressure of the gas to be measured is not measured, a constant current having a current value less than that of the cathode current is supplied to the cathode electrode.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2008Date of Patent: February 14, 2012Assignee: ULVAC, Inc.Inventors: Toyoaki Nakajima, Yujirou Kurokawa, Tsutomu Yuri, Ryota Tanaka, Jiro Endo, Hitomi Obise

Patent number: 7599259Abstract: Information recording is conducted in the form of the simple format. When the simple format is indicated, the recording control data is not recorded in a lead-in area LIA, and after the information to be recorded is recorded in a data recording area DRA, the recording control data is recorded in a recording manager area RMA and a lead-out area LOA, in the data recording area DRA, recording manager area RMA, lead-in area LIA, and lead-out area LOA, which are predetermined according to the standard format. Further, when the finalizing processing is indicated, by recording again the recording control data according to the standard format to the information recording medium in which the information recording is conducted according to the simple format, the information recording medium which can be applied to the common information recording and reproducing apparatus, is easily realized.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2005Date of Patent: October 6, 2009Assignee: Pioneer CorporationInventors: Masami Oishi, Hidehiro Ishii, Jiro Endo, Katsumi Kawamura, Takeshi Kohda
