Patent number: 11258160Abstract: Provide is an LC resonant antenna including: an inductor layer provided with a coil-shaped inductor; and a capacitor layer provided with a capacitor and laminated on the inductor layer. The capacitor includes a plurality of electrode plates that are aligned with the inductor in a laminating direction of the inductor layer and the capacitor layer and that extend in a surface direction orthogonal to the laminating direction. The inductor is formed to have an axis of a coil center extending in a direction that coincides or substantially coincides with the laminating direction. The plurality of electrode plates each have a passage area that corresponds in the laminating direction to an internal area surrounded by the inductor and allows magnetic flux to pass therethrough.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2018Date of Patent: February 22, 2022Assignee: SK-Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hideki Kobayashi, Kiyoshi Ohshima

Patent number: 8515323Abstract: A fixing apparatus includes a fixing member to be heated and a pressure-contacting member for pressure contacting the fixing member. The fixing apparatus directs and conveys a recording member through a nip formed between the fixing member and pressure applying member in such a manner that a toner image carried on a recording member contacts the fixing member in order to be fixed thereto with heat and pressure. The fixing apparatus is configured to direct a tip margin of the recording member toward the pressure applying member across a virtual linear extension line drawn from a downstream end to upstream end of the nip when only the tip margin exits from the nip. A fixing member side separation device may be separately provided from the surface of the fixing apparatus so as to separate the recording member exiting from the nip. A gap formed between the downstream end of the nip and the tip of the fixing member side separation device is set smaller than the width of the tip margin.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2009Date of Patent: August 20, 2013Assignee: Ricoh Company, Ltd.Inventors: Hisashi Kikuchi, Shigeo Kurotaka, Kiyoshi Ohshima, Takashi Fujita, Toshihiko Baba, Atsushi Nakafuji, Hirokazu Ikenoue, Jun Yura, Katsuhiro Echigo, Hideki Kosugi

Patent number: 6398345Abstract: An air flow is generated in a space adjacent to the toner control member 3, when an image is not being formed, and also a cleaning electric field for moving the toner away from the toner control member 3 is generated in the same space. For instance, a slit 2a is formed in an outer peripheral section of a cylindrical and rotatable counter electrode member 2, and an air flow generating source 10 such as a fan is connected to the counter electrode member 2. A convex cleaning electrode 11 is formed around the slit 2a of the counter electrode member 2, and a voltage for forming a cleaning electric field is applied from the power supply source for cleaning 8 to this cleaning electrode 11.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2000Date of Patent: June 4, 2002Assignees: Ricoh Co., Ltd., Array Printers ABInventors: Katsuo Sakai, Takahiko Tokumasu, Kiyoshi Ohshima, Osamu Endo, Per Klockar, Minoru Suzuki, Kiyotaka Ota

Patent number: 5245396Abstract: A color image forming apparatus of the type recording a register mark on a recording medium for registering the leading edges of images of respective colors to form a color image. The apparatus forms the register mark on the medium outside of the effective area of a main image and such that the mark extends perpendicular to an intended direction of medium feed. The register mark is developed in cyan and in the highest density to insure accurate register of colors. The register mark is cut off together with the leading edge of the medium.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 1992Date of Patent: September 14, 1993Assignee: Ricoh Company, Ltd.Inventors: Kiyoshi Ohshima, Yoshiyumi Tamiya, Kenichi Shimizu, Tadahiro Suzuki, Kazuaki Iizuka

Patent number: 5202534Abstract: A developing apparatus using a liquid developer and a developing head located to face a path along which a recording medium carrying, for example, an electrostatic latent image thereon is transported. A groove is formed in the surface of the head that faces the transport path. After development, the liquid remaining at the corner defined by the upper inner portion of the groove and the medium is rapidly collected to allow a minimum of smear to occur on the part of the medium which will be transported later. When the transport of the medium should be interrupted during development due to, for example, a jam, the liquid in the groove is collected to prevent a great amount of liquid which would smear a drive roller and other transport members from being transferred from the head to the medium.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 1991Date of Patent: April 13, 1993Assignee: Ricoh Company, Ltd.Inventors: Yoshiumi Tamiya, Seiichi Miyakawa, Kazuaki Iizuka, Kenichi Shimizu, Shigeru Suzuki, Kiyoshi Ohshima, Tadahiro Suzuki
