  • Patent number: 11988691
    Abstract: The current measurement device (1, 2) includes a first sensor (SE1) configured to detect a direct current magnetic field and a low-frequency alternating current magnetic field generated due to the current (1) flowing through the conductor (MC) to be measured, a second sensor (SE2) configured to detect alternating current magnetic fields from a low frequency to a high frequency generated due to the current (I) flowing through the conductor to be measured, a first calculator (21, 21A) configured to calculate the current flowing through the conductor to be measured from a detection result of the first sensor using distance information indicating a distance (r) between the first sensor (SE1) and the conductor (MC) to be measured, a second calculator (22) configured to calculate the current flowing through the conductor to be measured from a detection result of the second sensor, and a synthesizer (23) configured to synthesize a calculation result of the first calculator with a calculation result of the second cal

  • Patent number: 11966662
    Abstract: An acoustic processing system for audio signal processing includes a first apparatus including a first memory that stores a first parameter for the audio signal processing and a user interface that receives an operation for changing the first parameter, a second apparatus including a second memory that stores a second parameter synchronized with the first parameter and a first CPU that performs system control, and a third apparatus including a second CPU that performs the audio signal processing. The first CPU sends, to the third apparatus, control information for controlling the audio signal processing based on the second parameter, and the second CPU receives the control information, and performs the audio signal processing based on the control information.

  • Patent number: 11927647
    Abstract: A current measurement device (1 and 2) is for measuring a current (I) flowing through measurement target conductors (MC1 and MC2), and the current measurement device includes: a plurality of triaxial magnetic sensors (11, 12, and 13) disposed so that a magnetic sensing direction and a relative position have a prescribed relationship; a noise remover (25a) configured to remove noise components included in detection results of the plurality of triaxial magnetic sensors; a sign adder (25b) configured to add a sign to the detection results from which the noise components have been removed, based on sign information of each of the detection results of the plurality of triaxial magnetic sensors obtained at a specific point in time; and a current calculator (25c and 25d) configured to calculate a current flowing through the measurement target conductors by using the detection results to which the sign has been added by the sign adder.

  • Patent number: 11586139
    Abstract: An opening-closing member of an image forming apparatus includes: an external opening-closing member that configurates a part of an outer surface of the image forming apparatus and that is openable and closable; an internal opening-closing member that faces an inner surface of the external opening-closing member and that is openable and closable together with the external opening-closing member; and a container that defines a containment space by protruding from the internal opening-closing member toward the external opening-closing member and that enables a member contained in the containment space to be taken out when the external opening-closing member and the internal opening-closing member are opened.

  • Patent number: 7729645
    Abstract: A developer cartridge detachably mounted to a device main body includes a tubular cartridge main body that houses a developer and an extending portion that communicates with the cartridge main body, which extends from an end portion in a longitudinal direction of the cartridge main body. An outside shape of a section of the extending portion, along a direction that is orthogonal to the longitudinal direction, is smaller than that of the cartridge main body. A cartridge-side opening portion is provided at a side wall of the extending portion, and a cartridge-side shutter is provided at an outside of the side wall of the extending portion, which moves in a direction intersecting the longitudinal direction along the side wall to thereby open and close the cartridge-side opening portion.

  • Publication number: 20080080904
    Abstract: An inner cap includes: an outer circumferential portion that has a part to be inserted and fit into an opening portion formed by being surrounded by a projection portion of a space portion; a slip-off preventing projection that is formed at a part located in a downstream side in an insertion direction of the outer circumferential portion to be caught by a projection portion provided on an inner wall of the space portion; an insertion stop projection that is formed at a part located in an upstream side in the insertion direction of the outer circumferential portion to be caught by the projection portion; and an insertion front end surface portion that includes a surface in a concave portion dented at a place located inwardly from the outer circumferential portion in a direction opposite to the insertion direction.
