  • Publication number: 20160236258
    Abstract: Provided is a fixing sleeve making it possible to reduce the surface roughness of the inner circumferential surface of the fixing sleeve by spinning, and a method for manufacturing the fixing sleeve. The spinning is performed by moving rollers, in the axial direction of a cup-shaped tubular body and, at the same time, a burnishing tool (spherical tool) is pressed against the outer circumferential surface of the cup-shaped tubular body after the spinning, and the burnishing tool is moved in the same direction as the rollers. The cup-shaped tubular body is plastically deformed in the axial direction of the cup-shaped tubular body, reduced in wall thickness, and elongated in the axial direction.

  • Patent number: 9369639
    Abstract: In the present invention, an image capturing condition measurement unit measures image capturing conditions used when an object image is captured based on radiation that has passed through an object and calculates an added value based on the image capturing conditions. An X-ray signal reading unit generates image data containing the object image based on the radiation that has passed through the object. An offset correction unit performs an offset correction of the image data with using correction image data containing a dark current component and then performs an offset correction of the image data with using the added value.
