  • Publication number: 20240152072
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a mounting portion, an accommodating portion, a remaining toner amount detecting portion, a display portion, and a controller. In a supplying operation, the controller sets a threshold changing on the basis of a first output value before toner supply from the toner container to the accommodating portion. The controller discriminates whether or not toner in a certain amount or more is supplied to the accommodating portion by comparing the threshold with a second output value after the toner is supplied from the toner container to the accommodating portion. The threshold is a value between the first output value and a third output value in when the toner in a total amount accommodated in the toner container that has never been used is supplied to the accommodating portion before supply of the toner, and is closer to the third value than to the first value.

  • Publication number: 20100137755
    Abstract: The massaging device in this invention comprises a massaging mechanism, arms 3, and carriers 300. The carrier 300 has a shaft 30 which is fixed to the arm 3. The shaft 30 holds the massaging head 2 which is rotatable relative to the shaft 30. The carrier 300 carries the heat source 4 therein, and has a disc extending toward the radial direction of the shaft 30. The carrier 300 or the massaging head 20 includes a heat transfer means extending radially of the shaft from the carrier to an outer circumferential surface of the massaging head 20. This configuration makes it possible to transfer the heat to the outer circumferential surface of the carrier 300 or the massaging head.

  • Publication number: 20090005715
    Abstract: A massage machine includes a massage member for massaging a back of a user's body and an operation unit for changing a massage force of the massage member applied to the user's body. A massage machine further includes a control unit for controlling the operation unit to adjust the massage force. The control unit adjusts the massage force of the massage member based on values set such that a massage force applied to a scapular region on the back of the user's body is smaller than a massage force applied to other regions of the user's body.
