Abstract: The present invention provides a toner for electrophotography having a capsule structure including a core and a shell that covers the core, wherein the core contains a colorant, a releasing agent, an amorphous resin, and a block polymer containing a crystalline part and an amorphous part, the weight-average molecular weight of the block polymer is 10,000 or more, the weight-average molecular weight of the resin used in formation of the amorphous part of the block polymer is 1000 to 5000, and the weight-average molecular weight of the resin used in formation of the crystalline part of the block polymer is at least 2 times the weight-average molecular weight of the resin used in formation of the amorphous part of the block polymer, a method of manufacturing the same, a developer for electrophotography including the toner and a carrier, and an image forming method using the developer for electrophotography.

Abstract: An error correction device for an optical disk unit is an error correction device of the optical disk reproduction unit for reproducing recorded information from the optical disk recorded with a code row data added with an error code in the same direction as a sequence of recorded information in the recording portion of the optical disk, recorded guide information recorded in advance in an inerasable state before the code row data is recorded as recorded guide for recording the code row data in the optical disk.

Abstract: Provided are an electrophotographic toner, comprising a binder resin containing a coloring agent, a crystalline resin and an amorphous resin, wherein the crystalline resin has two or more peaks in weight-average molecular weight as determined by gel permeation chromatography, one of the peaks has a weight-average molecular weight in the range of 15,000 to 40,000, and another peak has a weight-average molecular weight in the range of 2,000 to 10,000 and a production method thereof, and an electrophotographic developer and an image-forming process using the electrophotographic toner.

Abstract: Provided are a toner for developing an electrostatic image comprising a crystalline resin having an ester bond and at least one of a sulfide bond or a disulfide bond in the main-chain, an electrostatic image developer and an image-forming process by using the same, a method of producing the toner for developing electrostatic image, and a resin particle dispersion using the same.

Abstract: Two coils 3a, 3b are wound over adjacent portions of a first magnetic core having two closed magnetic circuits and a second magnetic core. The winding directions of the two coils are set so that the magnetomotive forces generated by both coils may cancel each other in the second magnetic core. The magnetic fluxes flowing in the first magnetic core decrease the higher harmonics of an input current of the power source circuit, while the magnetic fluxes flowing in the second magnetic core 2 decrease the noise between the line and the ground. That is, the choke coil performs the function of choke coil and the function of noise filter at the same time.
