Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a first controller, a selection section, and a second controller. The first controller performs control in which a second operation screen is displayed on a terminal apparatus that is connected to the image forming apparatus in a manner communication is possible, the second operation screen being generated on the basis of a first operation screen of the image forming apparatus. The selection section selects either one of a first mode and a second mode, the first mode being a mode in which an operation from the first operation screen is acceptable, the second mode being a mode in which remote control from the second operation screen is acceptable. The second controller performs control in which, if the second mode is selected by the selection section, a display state of the second operation screen is prohibited from being changed in accordance with an operation occurred in the image forming apparatus other than an operation from the second operation screen.

Abstract: The present invention addresses the problem of obtaining a thermal flow meter capable of reducing a pulsation error by preventing a discharge port and a main outlet from being blocked by a vortex during a transient period and reducing a difference between flow speed distributions in normal and pulsation states. This thermal flow meter is provided with a housing disposed in a main passage; and a sub passage provided in the housing. In addition, in the housing, a first outlet and a second outlet of the sub passage are disposed in a downstream end portion of the housing, and a curved surface section is provided adjacent to the first and second outlets.

Abstract: The objective is to provide a thermal flowmeter that prevents a backflow generated from a trailing vortex downstream of the thermal flowmeter from inhibiting a flow flowing out from a dust discharge port. An opening surface of a dust discharge port is formed in a position that is displaced at least with respect to the direction of a backflow of air resulting from a trailing vortex generated as a result of the flow of air at a lower end surface in which the dust discharge port is formed. The main flow in an intake pipe flows from an upstream side to a downstream side, it is possible to avoid the flow from the dust discharge port opposing head-on a backflow from a trailing vortex on the lower end surface side, and suppress a reduction in the dust discharging effect and a worsening of mass flow rate measurement errors.
