Abstract: A rotary machine includes damper pins and platforms each having a flat surface extending in an axial line direction. For each adjacent pair of the platforms, a damper abutting surface of a first of the adjacent pair of the platforms extends toward a damper abutting surface of a second of the adjacent pair of the platforms as approaching an outer side of a rotor blade stage in a radial direction while opposing each other in a peripheral direction. A damper accommodation space, which is defined by surfaces including the damper abutting surfaces, is defined between each adjacent pair of the platforms. Each of the damper pins defines a regular polygonal prism extending in the axial line direction and includes a damper pin main body in which an angle defined by two side surfaces corresponds to an angle defined by the damper abutting surfaces between the adjacent pair of the platforms.

Abstract: A moving member is disposed between an upper guide, which guides a conveyed transfer material and to which a voltage is applied from a power source, and a lower guide, which guides the conveyed transfer material, the upper guide being disposed on an upstream side with respect to a photosensitive drum in a conveyance direction of the transfer material. The moving member is supported by the upper guide, and is capable of abutting against and separating from the lower guide. By being pushed by the transfer material, the moving member transitions from a first state in which the moving member is abutted against the lower guide to a second state in which the moving member is separated from the lower guide.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a control unit that causes a supply operation to form a predetermined toner image and supplies toner of the predetermined toner image to a contact portion between a cleaning member and a photosensitive member at a non-image forming time. During at least a period in which toner of the predetermined toner image on the photosensitive member passes through a transfer unit during the supply operation, the control unit causes application of a pass-through voltage having the same polarity as a normal charge polarity of the toner and an absolute value that is less than an electric potential of a portion that is exposed by an exposure device of the photosensitive member, or having a reverse polarity that is reverse to the normal charge polarity of the toner to be applied from the transfer power supply to the transfer member.

Abstract: An image forming system includes an image forming apparatus and a discharging device. The image forming apparatus includes a first rotatable member, a second rotatable member positioned downstream of the first rotatable member, a first driving portion for driving the first and second rotatable members, and a first controller for controlling the first driving portion. The discharging device includes a third rotatable member, a second driving portion for driving the third rotatable member, and a second controller for controlling the second driving portion. The first controller controls a driving speed of the second rotatable member depending on a driving speed of the first rotatable member and feeds the driving speed of the first rotatable member to the second controller. The second controller controls a driving speed of the third rotatable member depending on the driving speed fed from the first controller.

Abstract: An industrial vehicle 1 includes a brake 5 that applies a driving force or a braking force to a vehicle body 22, a lift pressure sensor 632 that detects pitching vibration of a vehicle body, and a pitching control unit 62 that calculates a pitching control torque for suppressing pitching vibration and generates a pitching control signal for causing the brake 5 to output the pitching control torque. When the industrial vehicle 1 runs under a load, the pitching control unit 62 calculates the pitching control torque based on an output value from the lift pressure sensor 632 to output the pitching control signal. The brake 5 is then driven based on the pitching control signal.

Abstract: Natural vibrations of a workpiece to be obtained before and after machining of the workpiece are first input (Step S1). A region of the natural vibrations of the workpiece between before and after the machining is set on a Campbell diagram (Step S2). Vibration components of a machining tool to be generated during the machining are input (Step S3). The vibration components of the machining tool to be generated during the machining are set on the Campbell diagram (Step S4). Referring to the Campbell diagram, the number of revolutions of the machining tool out of a range where the vibration components of the machining tool resonate with the natural vibrations of the workpiece within the region of the natural vibrations between before and after the machining is determined (Step S5). Machining of the workpiece is then performed based on the number of revolutions of the machining tool (Step S6).
