  • Publication number: 20240310765
    Abstract: A fixing apparatus includes a belt, a steering roller, a slide member, and a pressing rotation member that forms a nip portion by pressing the belt and is disposed to face the slide member. The belt applies heat to a recording material and has an inner circumferential surface that receives a lubricant applied onto the inner circumferential surface. The pressing rotation member fixes a toner image onto the recording material by applying heat and pressure to an unfixed toner image in the nip portion, in cooperation with the belt. An end portion of the belt on one end side in a belt width direction takes a position outside an end portion of the slide member on the one end side and a position inside the end portion of the slide member on the one end side while the steering roller is in operation.

  • Publication number: 20200331461
    Abstract: A vehicle system includes a drive source configured to generate torque for driving a vehicle, wheels including rear wheels that are primary driving wheels and front wheels that are auxiliary driving wheels, a torque distribution mechanism configured to distribute the torque of the drive source to the front wheels and the rear wheels, a steering wheel configured to be operated by a driver, and a controller configured to control at least the torque distribution mechanism. When the steering wheel is steered in reverse and a yaw rate difference related value related to a difference between a target yaw rate to be generated on the vehicle according to the steering of the steering wheel and an actual yaw rate actually generated on the vehicle is greater than or equal to a first predetermined value, the controller controls the torque distribution mechanism to reduce the torque distributed to the rear wheels.

  • Patent number: 10501288
    Abstract: A seal member for sealing a gap between a car-side door sill and a landing-side door sill is slidable between a sealing position and a retracted position and is driven by a link mechanism. The seal member is connected to an actuation spring that receives a movement force toward the sealing position. The link mechanism releases engagement with the actuating member in synchronization with a start of a door open operation of the car door to permit sliding toward the sealing position caused by the actuation spring. The link mechanism is engaged with the actuating member of the car door side in synchronization with movement of the car door toward a door close end to move the seal member to the retracted position resisting to the actuation spring.

  • Publication number: 20170131371
    Abstract: In an MRI apparatus, RF shimming is performed with high precision in a short time irrespective of an object and an imaging mode. A database storing the shim parameter according to a change from a criterion state in advance is included when a state in which an shim parameter is calculated is set as the criterion state of the objet in order to obtain a high-quality image. At the time of imaging, the shim parameter registered in the database in association with a change amount closest to a change amount from the criterion state is used. In the database, the shim parameter calculated from a previously measured result is registered.
