Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a main assembly including an image forming portion configured to form an image on a sheet; a front cover mounted on a front side of the main assembly and configured to expose the image forming portion by being rotated from above toward below about a rotational axis crossing a vertical direction; a fixing portion configured to fix a position of the front cover in an open state; an exchange unit detachably mountable to the image forming portion in the open state of the front cover; and a projecting portion provided above the front cover in the vertical direction and configured to project information on exchange of the exchange unit onto an inner surface of the front cover in the open state when the exchange unit is to be exchanged.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a main assembly, a first openable portion provided on a first side of the main assembly, a second openable portion provided on a second side of the main assembly, a single projector portion, a first projecting portion configured to project the image from above the first openable portion onto a projection object provided on the first side or onto the first openable portion when the first openable portion is open, and a second projecting portion configured to project the image from above the second openable portion onto a projection object provided on the second side or onto the second openable portion when the second openable portion is open.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus and method for controlling an image forming apparatus is provided. The image forming apparatus includes a detecting unit, a projecting unit, and a control unit. The detecting unit is configured to detect an event that needs user work on the image forming apparatus. The projecting unit is configured to project an image onto a projection target. The control unit is configured to control projection by the projecting unit. When an event that needs user work on the image forming apparatus is detected, the projecting unit projects an image onto a projection target so that a target portion of the user work can be identified and also projects an instruction image for performing the user work.

Abstract: There are provided a radiation generating apparatus and a radiation imaging apparatus that have excellent transportability. The radiation generating apparatus and radiation imaging apparatus include a radiation generating unit configured to generate radiation, an arm configured to support the radiation generating unit, and a support pillar configured to support the arm and rotate the arm, wherein the support pillar has a housing portion that has a space for housing at least a part of the radiation generating unit.

Abstract: An onboard equipment fixing structure for an onboard equipment which is mounted in a vehicle includes a bracket which fixes the onboard equipment to a vehicle body part of the vehicle. The bracket includes a vehicle body attaching portion which is attached to the vehicle body part, an equipment attaching portion which is attached to a side surface of the onboard equipment which extends in a vertical direction of a vehicle body, a connecting portion which connects the vehicle body attaching portion and the equipment attaching portion, and an opening portion which is formed in an area surrounded by the vehicle body attaching portion, the equipment attaching portion and the connecting portion. The vehicle body attaching portion is fixed to the vehicle body part so as to be disposed closer to the outside of the vehicle body than the equipment attaching portion.
