  • Patent number: 11531301
    Abstract: A cartridge includes a photosensitive drum and a coupling member for transmitting a driving force to the photosensitive drum. A movable member is provided movable relative to a frame and a rotatable portion is supported by the movable member and rotatable relative to the movable member. A regulating member is movable between a regulating position for regulating movement of the movable member by contacting the rotatable portion and a non-regulating position where the regulating member does not regulate the movable member. A position of an end portion of the movable member in an axial direction of the photosensitive drum changes relative to the frame by movement of the movable member between a first position and a second position, and the end portion of the movable member is closer to the coupling member in the axial direction of the photosensitive drum when the movable member is in the second position than when the movable member is in the first position.

  • Patent number: 11461900
    Abstract: A dynamic image analysis system includes a modality and a hardware processor. The modality generates first and second dynamic images each composed of frame images indicating dynamics of a subject. The processor detects a first signal value of a pixel in a first region in each of the frame images of the first dynamic image. The hardware processor detects a second signal value of a pixel in a second region in which an identical site to that of the first region is imaged, the second region being in each of the frame images of the second dynamic image. The processor determines an image processing condition for making the first signal value close to the second signal value based on the first and second signal values detected. The hardware processor performs image processing on the first dynamic image under the determined image processing condition to generate a processed dynamic image.
