Abstract: An image forming apparatus and a method of forming an image. A timing generating circuit is constructed without employing an exclusively used IC. A CCD can be easily replaced without performing any new designing. A timing signal is suitably delayed corresponding to a delay time between an input image signal and an output image signal per each of respective processing circuits sequentially connected. The apparatus enables high-speed image processing. The apparatus includes an optoelectric conversion element, a signal processing section, and a timing generating section.

Abstract: A molded circuit component for connecting to lead wires includes body and a protective cover. The body includes a partition wall area having a plurality of housing grooves, partition walls, body notches, positioning projections and fastening pin reception apertures. The protective cover includes a plurality of cover notches, recesses and fastening pins to correspond respectively with the body notches, positioning projections and fastening pin reception apertures. Metal lines having connection terminals on their ends are embedded in the housing grooves. Lead wires are positioned in the grooves so that the conductors of the lead wires are placed on, and attached to, the connection terminals. The protective cover is then attached to the body.

Abstract: A molded electrical connector for connecting electrical conductors comprises a molding section in which a plurality of metallic circuits are arranged in parallel with one another at predetermined intervals and are fixedly molded with resin such that first end portions of the metallic circiuts are exposed as connecting terminals. The molded electrical connector further comprises a connecting section which comprises the connecting terminals. The connecting section is molded with resin simultaneously when the molding section is formed. Electrical conductors are placed on the connecting terminals of the metallic circuits and welded together.
