  • Patent number: 11966181
    Abstract: A tubular fuser device rotates and is in contact with a sheet on which a positively charged toner image is formed to fix the toner image to the sheet. The fuser device includes a tubular substrate made of a metal, a rubber layer covering the outer periphery of the substrate, an adhesion layer covering the outer periphery of the rubber layer, and a surface layer made of a resin covering the outer periphery of the adhesion layer. The adhesion layer has a first adhesion layer that is in contact with the rubber layer and a second adhesion layer interposed between the first adhesion layer and the surface layer. The first adhesion layer is made of a fluororesin-based adhesive, and the second adhesion layer is made of a silicone rubber-based adhesive containing an ionic conductor.

  • Patent number: 10949423
    Abstract: Control facilities and incidental facilities in fields are flexibly managed. Since identification information enabling to identify uniquely information regarding control facilities of which design timing and architectures are mutually different or facilities incidental to the control facilities is encoded, pieces of identification information are coupled and uniqueness is guaranteed. Further, a parent-child relation between identifiers is constructed and the identifiers are structured as a tree structure based on the structure of the control facilities. A control facility operation management device manages combination of the structured identifiers and information of management target or combination of the structured identification information and identification information of a database.

  • Publication number: 20200369567
    Abstract: A cement composition is disclosed containing: cement; cellulose nanofibers; and water, wherein a mass ratio of the water to cement is 0.4 or less. The cement is preferably Portland cement. It is preferred that the Portland cement is high-early-strength Portland cement, and that a mass ratio of fine aggregate to the high-early-strength Portland cement is 2.0 or less. A unit amount of cellulose nanofibers in the cement composition can be 0.1 kg/m3 to 15 kg/m3 Furthermore, a hardened body of the cement composition is disclosed, wherein a ratio of a splitting tensile strength of the hardened body at a material age of 91 days obtained by curing in air, to the splitting tensile strength of the hardened body at the material age if 91 days obtained by curing in water is 0.90 or more and 1.10 or less, the splitting tensile strength being measured in accordance with JIS-A-1113 (2006).
