Abstract: A switching control circuit for a power supply circuit that includes a transformer including primary and secondary coils, and first and second transistors controlling a current flowing through the primary coil. The power supply circuit generates an output voltage at a target level. The switching control circuit controls switching of the first and second transistors. The switching control circuit includes: a drive signal output circuit configured to output drive signals according to a normal mode, when the output voltage is lower than a first level, and output the drive signals according to a burst mode, when the output voltage is higher than the first level; and a driver circuit configured to switch the first and second transistors in response to the drive signals. The drive signal output circuit reduces a first time period in the burst mode, in response to the output voltage rising above the first level.

Abstract: This invention provides an electronic component mounting apparatus which can detects an electronic component held by a suction nozzle without fail after a mounting operation of electronic components on a printed board and perform various processes in a case where the electronic component is held by the suction nozzle.

Abstract: The invention is directed to performing electronic component mounting operations by the suction nozzles of the mounting heads in each of the plurality of the rotary tables independently, moving each of the positioning tables for positioning a printed board in a component mounting position independently, and performing the electronic component mounting operation on the plurality of the printed boards independently. A component feeding device moves a plurality of component feeding tables having a plurality of component feeding units in an arraying direction thereof respectively and independently. Mounting heads having a plurality of suction nozzles for picking up electronic components from the component feeding devices respectively are provided at predetermined intervals corresponding to intermittent pitches on an outer circumference of two rotary tables intermittently rotating.

Abstract: Recognition of a position of a printed board is performed both before and after a chip component is mounted on the printed board. When a difference between the positions recognized before and after that is out of a predetermined allowable range, the printed board is treated as a defective. A CPU compares positions of a positioning mark provided on a printed board recognized both before and after a chip component is mounted on the printed board, the positions being taken an image by a board recognition camera and recognized by a recognition processing device. The CPU checks whether or not a difference between the positions is within a predetermined range stored in a RAM, that is, within a range from ?0.100 mm to +0.0100 mm, in both X and Y directions. When judging that the difference is within the range, the CPU controls an electronic component mounting apparatus to stop because of an error.

Abstract: A cleaning device includes a cleaning member, which is contactable to a moving image bearing member to clean a surface of the image bearing member; a holder holds the cleaning member; and a vibrator. The holder is movable in a direction substantially perpendicular to a surface of the image bearing member. The vibrating means is supported by the holder.

Abstract: In a case where minute dirt is lain between light source and an original, since the light source moves in case of the fixing original reading which is an original reading system of reading an original image by fixing the original, the dirt is momently lighted by the light source and influence by the dirt for the read image is appeared in sight by only a minute dot. However, in case of the shifting original reading of reading the original image by shifting the original, since the relationship between the light source and the dirt is in a fixed state, the light source is always to light the dirt and the influence by the dirt for the read image is appeared in sight by a line or a plane. Therefore, in the present invention, edge emphasis degree of edge emphasis processing for the read image data is varied in accordance with a fact that the original reading system is the fixing original reading or the shifting original reading. Accordingly, the influence by the dirt in the shifting original reading can be reduced.
