Abstract: A temperature adjuster (20) is configured to adjust temperature associated with a first gas supplying medium (10) for providing first gas to be mixed. A first flow rate controller (30) is configured to control a flow rate of the first gas. A second flow rate controller (40) is configured to control a flow rate of second gas to be mixed that is different from the first gas. A mixer (50) is configured to supply mixed gas in which the first gas supplied by the first flow rate controller (30) and the second gas supplied by the second flow rate controller (40) have been mixed.

Abstract: In a duplicator, a reflected light from a document or an original copy is converted into an electrical video signal by an image pickup element, and the electrical video signal is supplied to a magnetic recording head to form a magnetic latent image on a magnetic recording drum, in the latent image forming mode. In the copy mode, the magnetic latent image is developed by a magnetic toner, and the toner picture is transferred onto a recording paper which runs through a paper transport path. The transferred toner picture is fixed on the recording paper, and the remaining toner on the surface of the magnetic recording drum is scraped after the transfer operation. A set value of a copy register is compared with a counting value of a copy counter by a comparator. When the counting value reaches the set value, a copy end signal is generated. With the pushing of a copy switch, a control portion of the duplicator operates, first for the latent image forming mode and then for the copy mode.

Abstract: Disclosed is a magnetographic apparatus wherein a large number of copies of the same picture is produced by repeatedly using a recording drum on which a latent image of the picture is recorded, which apparatus is different from a conventional magnetographic apparatus wherein a sequence of processes consisting of a latent image recording process, a process of developing the image and a process of transferring the image is effected for production of each copy. Further disclosed herein are structural elements of a magnetographic apparatus which are suitable for producing a large number of copies of the same picture by repeatedly using a recording drum as described above.

Abstract: A magnetic recording method and apparatus is disclosed. The magnetic recording method includes forming a magnetic latent image on a recording medium with a scanning recording head so that the magnetic latent image has substantially the same width as that of the recording head, recording the magnetic latent image again with the recording head shifted from its first position by a predetermined width to cause overlapping to form a magnetic latent image with a predetermined width narrower than the width of the recording head and making the narrowed magnetic latent image visible.
