Abstract: An assay device and an assay method are each capable of ensuring the accuracy of a target substance detection section.

Abstract: A parking assist device includes: a storage unit that stores a position of a specific parking space which is one of parking spaces where a vehicle is capable of being parked; a detection unit that detects a parking space from a captured image obtained by imaging the vicinity of the vehicle by an imaging device; a determination unit that determines that the detected parking space is the specific parking space in a case where a distance between the position of the detected parking space and the position of the specific parking space is equal to or smaller than a first threshold value; and a display process unit that causes the detected parking space to be displayed on a display unit while being highlighted in a case where it is determined that the detected parking space is the specific parking space.

Abstract: A parking assistance device that recognizes a parking stall where a vehicle is to be parked, includes: at least three cameras that take images of an outside of the vehicle; a setting unit that sets, based on a preset setting condition, a camera which is to take an image used for recognizing the parking stall; and a detection unit that detects the parking stall based on the image taken by the set camera.

Abstract: A transfer belt unit which is mounted in an image forming device. The transfer belt unit contains a positioning member, a handle, and a guiding member. The positioning member positions the transfer belt unit with respect to the image forming device in a state where the transfer belt unit is inserted into a guide unit. The handle is placed on the rear side of the positioning member in a direction of inserting the transfer belt unit into the guide unit. The guiding member holds the transfer belt unit when the transfer belt unit is inserted into the guide unit by abutting on a guide surface of the guide unit together with the positioning member before the handle is inserted into the guide unit.

Abstract: A technique capable of contributing to improvement of operability when a transfer belt unit is mounted in an image forming device is provided.

Abstract: A laser printer includes a photoconductor unit and a developer unit which are removable from a housing of the printer. A fixing device having a heating roller and a cover covering the heating roller is arranged in the housing adjacent to the photoconductor unit. The cover includes an upper wall and a plurality of ribs formed on the outer surface of the upper wall to prevent an operator's hand from directly touching the outer surface of the cover. That rib which is closest to the photoconductor unit is formed to prevent the operator's fingers from being caught by the fixing-device-side end portion of the photoconductor unit.

Abstract: The present invention provides an electrophotographic apparatus comprising a housing containing a sheet transportation path, a transfer unit and a fixing unit, and having an open upper surface, a top cover holding an exposure unit and pivotally joined to the housing so as to cover the open upper surface of the housing, an image forming unit comprising a photoconductive drum and a charger, and a developing unit having a toner container. The image forming unit is supported on supporting members provided in the developing unit, and both the image forming unit and the developing unit are held by holding members provided in the housing. The developing unit is provided with upwardly projecting handles.

Abstract: Herein disclosed is a displacement detecting mechanism for a hydraulic circuit of a fork lift, which comprises: at least one loading lever of said fork lift; at least one hydraulic control valve adapted to be operated by the loading lever, said hydraulic control valve having at least one spool adapted to be actuated by the loading lever; and at least one chopper controlling linear stroke type variable resistor for detecting the displacement of the spool, the variable resistor being attached directly to the hydraulic control valve.
