Patent number: 7764891Abstract: A solid-concentration measuring apparatus includes an ultrasonic transmitter, an ultrasonic receiver, and a response-time integrator. The ultrasonic transmitter transmits a single-pulse ultrasonic wave to a liquid toner. The ultrasonic receiver receives the single-pulse ultrasonic wave. The ultrasonic transmitter transmits again a single-pulse ultrasonic wave after a predetermined time has passed from when the ultrasonic receiver receives the single-pulse ultrasonic wave. The response-time integrator measures a response time from transmission to reception of each single-pulse ultrasonic wave, and integrates the response time with respect to each set of N pulses (N>1). A solid concentration of the liquid toner is calculated based on the integrated response time.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2007Date of Patent: July 27, 2010Assignee: PFU LimitedInventors: Jiyun Du, Satoshi Miyamoto, Yoshiro Kawamoto, Seiichi Takeda, Naoaki Shima, Shintaro Shitahira, Norihiro Yamasaku

Publication number: 20090178876Abstract: A control device capable of moving a vehicle in a direction with an angle larger than at least the maximum steering angle of wheels. When the wheels (2) are brought into a parallel movement arrangement as shown in FIG. 3(a) and rotatingly driven according to the depressed amount of an accelerator pedal (53), the wheels (2) are slippingly moved on a road surface. Thus, while the vehicle forward component of a drive force generated by the right and left front wheels (2FR) and (2FL) and the vehicle rearward component of a drive force generated by the right and left rear wheels (2RR) and (2RL) balance each other out, the vehicle rightward component of a drive force generated by the right and left front wheels (2FR) and (2FL) and the vehicle rightward component of a drive force generated by the right and left rear wheels (2RR) and (2RL) act as a drive force for moving the vehicle (1) rightward. As a result, the vehicle (1) can be moved, in parallel, in the right side direction of the vehicle.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 24, 2006Publication date: July 16, 2009Applicant: KABUSHIKIKAISHA EQUOS RESEARCHInventors: Nobuaki Miki, Munehisa Horiguchi, Manabu Matsuda, Seiichi Takeda

Patent number: 6996361Abstract: A full-color electrophotographic apparatus of the present invention is configured such that a toner image is formed on an intermediate transfer member. The intermediate transfer member is heated to a temperature equal to or higher than the softening start temperature of resin contained in a liquid toner and equal to or lower than the withstand temperature of a photoconductor member. A carrier-removing roller to which bias can be applied abuts the intermediate transfer member so as to remove a carrier while packing softened toner by the force of an electric field induced by bias. In a transfer section for transfer to a printing medium, a backup roller presses the printing medium against the intermediate transfer member, and the toner image is transferred from the intermediate transfer member to the printing medium. Before being pressed against the toner image on the intermediate transfer member, the printing medium is heated.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2003Date of Patent: February 7, 2006Assignee: PFU LimitedInventors: Motoharu Ichida, Satoshi Moriguchi, Yasuhiko Kishimoto, Masanobu Hongo, Shigeki Uesugi, Yoshiro Kawamoto, Seiichi Takeda, Tadasuke Yoshida, Yoshiaki Fujimoto, Jiyun Du, Hironaga Hongawa, Eri Yamanishi, Tatsuo Nozaki, Shigeharu Okano, Isao Nagata

Patent number: 6745002Abstract: A liquid-development electrophotographic apparatus utilizes a nonvolatile, high-viscosity, high-concentration liquid toner as a liquid developer. A developing section is in contact with photosensitive drums 11-14, on which an electrostatic latent image is formed, so that the liquid developer is supplied onto photosensitive drums 11-14. Toner particles contained in the liquid developer adhere to the photosensitive drums 11-14 according to an electric field established between the developing section and the photosensitive drums 11-14 to form toner images. The toner images are transferred from the photosensitive drums 11-14 to an intermediate transfer section. A transfer-and-fixation section includes a heater to melt-transfer the toner images onto the printing medium. A development section is disposed at a lower portion of the apparatus to prevent smudging of the printing medium and the intermediate transfer section even when the liquid toner spills.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2001Date of Patent: June 1, 2004Assignee: PFU LimitedInventors: Yutaka Nakashima, Akihiko Inamoto, Shigeki Uesugi, Satoru Moto, Masanari Takabatake, Motoharu Ichida, Shigeharu Okano, Seiichi Takeda, Tadashi Nishikawa, Satoshi Miyamoto, Hitoshi Terashima, Satoshi Sakai, Hironaga Hongawa, Masanobu Hongo
