Abstract: The rotary member carrying the X-ray radiation unfit and the X-ray detection unit and rotated around a subject is used as the rotor. The rotor is provided with a rotor core and a plurality of conductors connected to the core. The stator has at least one set of stator core and stator winding, the at least one set of stator core and stator winding being adapted to clamp the rotor and arranged at opposing positions. A three-phase AC current is supplied to the stator winding to generate a rotating magnetic field to rotate the rotor and thereby rotate the rotary member at high speed. Because the scan time can be reduced, the X-ray CT scanner can scan such moving organs as heart.

Abstract: A radiography apparatus is constituted by an image pickup unit including an X-ray source for irradiating cone shaped X-ray beams to a patient under examination and an image receptor disposed opposite the x-ray source for receiving x-ray image data of the patient by the irradiated cone shaped x-ray beam; a cylindrical ring which carries the image pickup unit, defines a sufficient space to receive the patient therein so as to permit relative positional change of the patient with respect to the image pickup unit and is supported so as to permit rotation around its center axis; a second arm, an image pickup unit; a first video image processing unit; a second video image processing unit; and a change-over device which changes-over the x-ray image data obtained from the image pickup unit either to the first video image processing unit or to the second video image processing unit, whereby a three-dimensional x-ray image of the patient is obtained depending on necessity during an IVR while temporarily resting or inte

Abstract: A photosensitive member cartridge, having a photosensitive drum, is provided with guide grooves formed in opposite side walls of the photosensitive member cartridge. The guide grooves extend in an accurate shape from an upwardly open accommodating portion to a vicinity of a shaft of the photosensitive drum. A shaft of a developing roller has protruded opposite end portions that protrude outward from opposite sides of a case of a developer cartridge. The protruded end portions of the developing roller shaft are provided with bearings. When the developer cartridge is inserted into the accommodating portion toward the photosensitive drum, the guide grooves support and guide the bearings on the end portions of the developing roller shaft, so that the developer cartridge becomes properly set in the accommodating portion.

Abstract: A process unit detachably attachable to an image forming apparatus includes a photosensitive member cartridge having a photosensitive member, and a developer cartridge having a developing roller that supplies a developer to the photosensitive member. Urging devices are provided on right and left sides of the photosensitive member cartridge to urge a developing roller to the photosensitive member. Action-receiving portions provided on the opposite sides of the developer cartridge receive action performed by the urging devices. Each urging device has a frame-like slide support member pivotably connected to the corresponding side wall inner surface of the photosensitive member cartridge via pivots, and a motion acting portion protruded outwardly from the slide support member beyond the side wall. Guide surfaces are provided on the opposite sides of an image forming apparatus housing.

Abstract: A photosensitive drum 25 is rotated counterclockwise by a predetermined angle upon completion of printing. A release belt 44 is caused to rotate in the same direction by surface friction between a nip release belt 49 and a surface of the photosensitive drum 25. At this time, a pitch roller 47 provided at both ends of a developing roller 27 is rotated clockwise while guided along a roller guide hole 61 of the release belt 44, runs onto an upper plane of the nip release belt 49, and releases the developing roller 27 from the photosensitive drum 25 with a clearance which is substantially equal to the thickness of the nip release belt 49.

Abstract: A lubricating oil heater apparatus for an electric motorcar enabling an efficient running in viewpoint of electric power consumption. The electric motorcar is run by driving force of an electric motor transmitted to wheels through a power transmission and has a charge condition detecting device for detecting the charge condition of a battery when the battery can be charged, an oil temperature detecting device for detecting temperature of a lubricating oil in the power transmission, a heating device for heating the lubricating oil in the power transmission, and a heating control device for controlling operation of the heating device. The heating control device operates the heating device when the charge condition detecting device detects a predetermined charge condition and the oil temperature detecting device detects an oil temperature below a predetermined value.

Abstract: A driving force from a motor is transmitted through a pinion, a first gear, a second gear, a third gear, a link, a control lever, a control shaft, a parking shaft and a parking lever to a parking pole. A lost motion spring is mounted between the control shaft and the parking lever for biasing the parking pole toward a parking gear. A one-way clutch is mounted between the third gear and a housing. The one-way clutch permits the driving force from the motor to be transmitted to the parking pole and prevents the resilient force of the lost motion spring from being transmitted back to the motor.

Abstract: A method for engraving and/or etching comprising the steps of: (a) a process for exposing, to light, a layer of a water-soluble resin composition of a laminated photo-sensitive film which comprises a supporting sheet, a image mask-protection layer peelablly adhered to the supporting sheet and a layer of a water-soluble resin composition having photocrosslinkability to thus cause crosslinking of the exposed area of the resin layer to thereby form a predetermined pattern on the resin layer; (b) a process for dissolving out the non-crosslinked portion of the layer of the water-soluble photo-sensitive resin composition by developing the layer with water to thus from an image-carrying mask which is constituted from the crosslinked area of the photo-sensitive resin composition remaining on the image mask-protection layer; (c) a process for adhering the photo-sensitive laminate film on which the images are formed to the surface of a material to be processed; (d) a process for peeling off the supporting sheet from th

Abstract: An image forming unit includes structure to prevent leakage of initial developer containing magnetic carrier and magnetic toner from a case. The image forming unit includes a photoconductive drum, a developing sleeve, and a trimming blade. Auxiliary sealing members are attached to the opposite ends of the trimming blade to stop up gaps between side sealing members in sliding contact with the opposite ends of the developing sleeve, and a protective sheet is removably inserted in the gap between the developing sleeve and the trimming blade. Ferromagnetic strips capable of being magnetized by the magnet roller are attached to the reverse side of the protective sheet at the opposite sides of one end of the protective sheet. The ferromagnetic strips magnetically attract the developer that is about to leak through the gaps to completely prevent leakage of the developer.

Abstract: A densitometer using a microwave comprises a microwave detection section, a phase detection section, and a density calculation section. The microwave detection section picks up a first microwave receiving signal by transmitting and receiving a microwave of a frequency band of 1.4 --GHz-- to 1.75 --GHz-- to/from a reference fluid, and a second microwave receiving signal by transmitting and receiving a microwave of a frequency band of 1.4 --GHz-- to 1.75 --GHz-- to/from a measuring fluid. The phase detection section obtains a phase difference between the first microwave receiving signal and the second microwave receiving signal. The density calculation section calculates the density of measuring fluid based on the phase difference obtained by the phase detection section.
