Abstract: A heat pipe includes a tubular member that is a hollow member in which liquid is encapsulated and of which an inner surface is subjected to an oxidation treatment in advance and a movement section that moves the liquid encapsulated and liquefied in the tubular member along a longitudinal direction of the tubular member by means of a capillary phenomenon and of which a surface is subjected to an oxidation treatment in advance.

Abstract: A fixing device includes a belt member that cyclically moves, a pressing unit that comes into contact with the belt member and presses a recording medium moving between the belt member and the pressing unit, and a heat source that includes a base material, a resistance heating element disposed on a surface of the base material along a longitudinal direction of the base material, and an insulator covering the resistance heating element and that comes into contact with the pressing unit via the belt member to heat an inner surface of the belt member, in which the insulator is formed to cover a corner portion of the base material in a direction of movement of the belt member.

Abstract: Pressure sensitive transfer correcting tape disclosed herein has improved resistance to bleeding from a line drawn with a ballpoint pen or the like. The pressure sensitive transfer correcting tape may include a release substrate including paper or a plastic film and a pressure sensitive transfer layer including at least a correcting and covering layer and a pressure sensitive adhesive layer laminated sequentially on one side of the release substrate. The correcting and covering layer contains porous silica and acid-modified rosin. In some examples, the oil absorption of the porous silica is preferably in a range of from 100 to 320 ml/100 g, and the acid value of the acid-modified rosin is preferably 180 mg KOH/g or more.
