  • Method, system, and apparatus for detaching and collecting an IC tag from a paper sheet to which it is attached
    Patent number: 7730600
    Abstract: In order to efficiently detach and collect an IC tag (1) from a paper sheet (2) to which the IC tag (1) is attached, the IC tag (1) is detached from the paper sheet (2) by applying external force to the adhesive surface between the paper sheet (2) and the IC tag (1) (detachment step). Next, the detached IC tag (1) is fractionated from other substances (fractionation step).

  • Electrographic Printing Apparatus, Electrographic Printing Method, and Method of Producing Glass Plate
    Publication number: 20090169279
    Abstract: An electrographic printing apparatus and an electrographic printing method that prevent base fogging and maintain high quality are provided. The provided electrographic printing apparatus includes a OPC photoreceptor to which a developing device adheres charged toner to an image region of an electrostatic latent image formed on a moving surface; and a non-image-region toner removing device disposed downstream of the developing device in a moving direction of the surface of the OPC photoreceptor and at a position opposing the OPC photoreceptor, wherein the non-image-region toner removing device includes a removing roller that moves close to the OPC photoreceptor and attracts and delivers a carrier by a magnetic force, and a predetermined electric potential is applied to generate an electric field from a non-image region of the electrostatic latent image to the removing roller.
