  • Patent number: 6320971
    Abstract: A speaker system suppresses standing waves generated in the system and reproduces clear and dynamic bass sound. The system includes a cabinet formed of acoustic isolation walls, and at least one partition wall situated inside the cabinet to form a space by surrounding the space. The partition wall suppresses the standing waves generated inside the cabinet and is formed of a material having high internal loss. The space has a total capacity more than one tenth of a capacity of the cabinet, wherein a closed end of the partition wall is located between one-half and four-fifths of a distance from one end to the other end, and an opening area of the same partition wall is located at a side opposite to the closed end in a longitudinal direction of the cabinet. The opening area is located between four-fifths and five fifths of a distance from one end to the other end.

  • Patent number: 4230787
    Abstract: A one-component developer for developing a latent electrostatic image which comprises magnetic particles, thermoplastic resins and electric charge controlling dyestuffs as main components and in which the magnetic particles are substantially coated with the electric charge controlling dyestuffs. The resulting toner forms no fringe or ghost and has good duplicativity of halftone images. The toner is made by coating the magnetic particles with the electric charge controlling dyestuffs before mixing the magnetic particles with the resin.

  • Patent number: 4164476
    Abstract: The present invention is for the improvements of a developer for a one-component latent electrostatic image and the process for the preparation thereof. The present invention is the one which has improved points at issue in the case of using a developer for the conventional conductive one-component latent electrostatic image for a copying machine using a corona discharger and in which particles are prepared by uniformly mixing a magnetic substance in resin and the magnetic substance is substantially exposed on the particle surface by heat treatment and hydrophobic silica fine powders are supported on, or interposed in, said particles; the particles are, as a whole, electrically insulating and given electric charge necessary to form an image by friction of mutual particles; thus even in a copying machine using a corona discharger, good development can be obtained with this developer; and further the present invention is the one which provides a process for the preparation of said particles.

  • Patent number: 4137188
    Abstract: An insulating magnetic toner useful as a one component developer for electro-photography consisting essentially of a ferro-magnetic material, a resin and a charge controlling agent. The preferred toner mixture has an average particle size in the range from about 7 to about 30 .mu.m and is substantially free of particles having a size smaller than 1 .mu.m. The toner is preferably prepared by mixing a ferromagnetic material, a resin and a charge controlling agent, heat kneading, cooling and then granulating the mixture to form fine particles, contacting the pacticles with a hot gas of a temperature higher than the toner softening point and lower than 500.degree. C to fuse particles smaller than about 1 .mu.m to larger particles, cooling and selecting the particles of an average particle size of about 7 to about 30 .mu.m.
