  • Publication number: 20240094673
    Abstract: A developing device includes: a container that contains developer; a developer holder that rotates with the developer being held on a surface thereof to transport the developer to a developing region; and a cooling unit. An introduction port is provided at a position corresponding to the developing region, the introduction port allowing suction of a floating substance generated in the developing region in a transverse direction of the container. The cooling unit is connected to the introduction port to allow passage of gas containing the floating substance in a longitudinal direction of the container, and cools the container with the gas. An intake port is connected to an end of the cooling unit in the longitudinal direction, the intake port allowing introduction of gas.

  • Patent number: 11397251
    Abstract: A distance measuring device includes the following, an emitting unit; a receiving unit; a received signal detector; and a signal processor. The signal processor controls emitting of the signal by the emitting unit and starts counting time, calculates received timing when the receiving unit receives the signal based on the digital signal output by the received signal detector, and calculates a distance to the object based on transmitting time of the signal. As for a distance, etc., the signal processor considers the distance. Etc. to be a valid value when a condition that the calculated distance, etc. is no longer than a predetermined reference distance, etc. is satisfied, and when the condition is not satisfied, the signal processor considers the distance, etc. to be an invalid value.

  • Publication number: 20210231807
    Abstract: According to the present invention, even if an azimuth angle synchronized to laser light scanning on each reflecting surface of a polygon mirror differs as a result of variations in the speed of rotation during one rotation, distance image data in which said differences are rectified can be generated. This laser radar device is provided with a rotation detecting means (boss S and photo-interrupter 3) which detects the rotational phase of a polygon mirror (P) at a plurality of detecting locations in a circumferential direction, and a correcting means (FPGA 11) which corrects distance image data on the basis of the detection results from the rotation detecting means, wherein the correcting means effects correction in such a way as to reduce a mutual discrepancy in an azimuth angle around an axis of rotation between data in a range scanned using one reflecting surface and data in a range scanned using another reflecting surface.
