  • Publication number: 20240111240
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a photosensitive drum, a charging member, a developing member, a transfer member, first and second gears, a drive source, and a control unit. The charging member contacts the photosensitive drum and forms a charging portion to charge a surface of the photosensitive drum. The control unit performs control in such a manner that an image forming operation of performing image formation by rotating the photosensitive drum at a first rotational speed is executable. Where the control unit executes the image forming operation, the control unit performs a switch operation of stopping the photosensitive drum in a state in which the photosensitive drum is driven, while a non-image forming operation to be executed after the image forming operation is executed, and rotationally driving the photosensitive drum again at a second rotational speed faster than the first rotational speed, a plurality of times.

    Abstract: First and second concentration measurement parts (415, 425) are provided in first and second supply liquid lines (412, 422) in which first and second supply liquids flow, respectively. A dissolved concentration of gas in the second supply liquid is lower than that in the first supply liquid. In the first and second supply liquid lines, respective one ends of first and second branch lines (51, 52) are connected to respective positions on the upstream side of the concentration measurement parts. The other ends of the first and second branch lines are connected to a mixing part (57), and by mixing the first and second supply liquids, a processing liquid is generated. Respective flow rate adjustment parts (58) of the first and second branch lines are controlled on the basis of respective measured values of the first and second concentration measurement parts so that the dissolved concentration of the gas in the processing liquid can become a set value.

  • Patent number: 11853025
    Abstract: A partial circuit selector selects a partial circuit comprising a plurality of contacts in a ladder diagram program. A replacement circuit generator generates a replacement circuit comprising a smaller number of contacts than in the selected partial circuit. An auxiliary circuit generator generates an auxiliary circuit that causes the replacement circuit to perform the same action as the partial circuit. A program editor performs, on the ladder diagram program, a replacement process for replacing a partial circuit appearing in the ladder diagram program with the replacement circuit, and performs an auxiliary circuit insertion process for inserting the auxiliary circuit into the ladder diagram program.
