Abstract: A surface mount technology connector comprises a housing provided with a plurality of contacts. At least one metal fitting is fixed to a sidewall of the housing. The metal fitting has a base and a soldering section for soldering to a circuit board. The base has a smaller width than the soldering section. The soldering section extends from a substantial center of the base with respect to the width thereof. The soldering section and a portion of the base extend approximately perpendicular to and away from a bottom of the sidewall of the housing. The sidewall of the housing has a solder viewing section at each side of the base. The solder viewing section retracts inward as the solder viewing section approaches the soldering section to expose the soldering section at the bottom of the sidewall of the housing.

Abstract: A plurality of beams scan the photosensitive body or the like so that a high quality image whose streak is not recognized by a human eye can be formed. 2m lines are formed simultaneously in Nth time, (N+1)-th time, and (N+2)-th time scannings respectively. At this point, the m lines are fed in a sub-scanning direction at each termination of one-time scanning, and the next scanning is performed. Accordingly, a region which is exposed twice between the scannings is generated at an m-line period.

Abstract: An electric connection box includes a cover fitted on a lower side of a body having mounting portions, and the cover is fixedly secured to a vehicle body. A wire harness is extended outwardly from a portion of the body, disposed near to one corner portion thereof, through an escape groove. Plural lock mechanisms, in which a lock piece portion can be elastically fitted into a lock groove, are provided at fitting peripheral surfaces of the body and cover, and are disposed near to four corner portions thereof respectively. One lock mechanism, disposed near to a position where the wire harness is extended outwardly, has a semi-lock structure, and thus has a smaller retaining force than the other lock mechanisms.

Abstract: The invention provides an image formation device based on the electrophotographic system, whereby, when an outputted image varies from the halftone area to the background area in the sub-scanning direction, the density reduction of a rear end area of the halftone area that borders on the background area can be prevented, by means of simplified and small-scale processing. In this image formation device, a backward edge of the halftone area that borders on the background area is extracted, and an image data value of the background area including m pixels after this backward edge in the sub-scanning direction, of input image data Si, is modified to a setting value with correction data. The setting value is set to a value slightly lower than the threshold value corresponding to the dot area coverage of an image recurrence start point.

Abstract: It is made possible to prevent decrease in the density due to the image output characteristic of the image output unit in the subscanning direction by means of a method according to the present invention capable of real-time processing without causing the circuit capacity and the memory to be increased. In an image input unit 100, the input image data is acquired so that its time series direction becomes a direction indicated by an arrow 42 corresponding to the subscanning direction of an image output unit 300. The input image data from the image input unit 100 is corrected in accordance with the image output characteristic of the image output unit 300 in the subscanning direction. The image data after the correction is rotationally processed so that its time series direction becomes a direction indicated by an arrow 41 corresponding to the main scanning direction of the image output unit 300. The image data after the rotary processing is sent to the image output unit 300.
