Patents by Inventor Ryusuke Nakao

Ryusuke Nakao has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 8697325
    Abstract: To provide a carrier for an electrophotographic developer in which high image quality and full colorization are possible while carrier scattering is reduced, and a method for producing the carrier, and an electrophotographic developer including the carrier. A carrier core material for an electrophotographic developer is produced so that the half-value width B of a peak having a maximum intensity in an XRD pattern satisfies B?0.160 (degree). A carrier for an electrophotographic developer and an electrophotographic developer are produced from the carrier core material for an electrophotographic developer.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8652736
    Abstract: The present invention provides a carrier core material for use in the production of an electrophotographic developer which, even when applied, for example, to MFPs (multifunction printers), can realize stable, high-quality and high-speed development, and has a prolonged replacing life of magnetic carriers, and a method of manufacturing the same, a magnetic carrier including the carrier core material, and an electrophotographic developer manufactured from the magnetic carrier. An electrophotographic development carrier is prepared by adding resin particles, a binder, a dispersant, a wetting agent, and water to a raw material powder, wet pulverizing the mixture, drying the pulverized product to give granulated powder, calcinatng the granulated powder, and then sintering the granulated powder to prepare a carrier core material having an internally hollow structure, and coating the carrier core material with a resin.

  • Patent number: 8592123
    Abstract: To provide a carrier for electrophotographic developer, capable of realizing a high image quality and full colorization and reducing carrier scattering, and a manufacturing method of the same, and an electrophotographic developer containing the carrier. A carrier core material for electrophotographic developer, with a general formula expressed by MgxMn(1-x)FeyO4 (where 0<x<1, and 1.6?y?2.4), wherein a half-value width B of a peak having a maximum intensity in a powder XRD pattern satisfies B?0.180 (degree), is manufactured and from this carrier core material for electrophotographic developer, the carrier for electrophotographic developer and the electrophotographic developer are manufactured.
