20080253796 | Image forming apparatus - An image writing unit causes, upon being set in a write position, an optical system unit to be movable and positions the optical system unit, with a hitting portion of the optical system unit hitting a blocking portion in a chassis. A holding unit includes, in a state in which the image writing unit is set in the write position, a portion defining an opening that faces either one of an air intake unit and an air exhaust unit. The air intake unit blows an intake air to the optical system unit through the opening, or the air exhaust unit draws an exhaust air around the optical system unit through the opening. | 10-16-2008 |
20090074446 | Image forming apparatus - A biasing unit biases an exposing unit with respect to a main unit in at least one direction in a direction approaching the main body, so that the exposing unit makes contact with the main body in at least one portion to determine a position of the exposing unit with respect to the main body. A buffer unit relieves an impact the exposing unit receives from the main body, provided at or near the portion where the exposing unit makes contact with the main body. An attachment forming portion is provided for attaching the buffer unit in switching a functional state of the buffer unit between a buffer functional state and a buffer non-functional state. | 03-19-2009 |
20090110432 | Image forming apparatus - When a lever is pulled upwards, an engaging member comes into contact with a retracted contacting member. An optical writing device rotates with a hooking member at a center and is lifted. As a result, positions of a first reference position component and a second reference position component switches from a contacting position to a retracted position. When the lever is pulled downward, the engaging member separates from the retracted contacting member. The optical writing device rotates in a counter-clockwise direction with the hooking member as the center. As a result, the positions of the reference position components switch from the retracted position to the contacting position. The reference position components come into contact with positioning members. | 04-30-2009 |
20110298171 | Paper feeder and image forming apparatus - In a paper feeder, a signal switching unit switches a paper present signal output from a paper detector to a paper absent signal indicative of absence of a paper in the second paper cassette if a first paper cassette is pulled out from a specific position. | 12-08-2011 |

20090032455 | Potting Material, Hollow-Fiber Module, and Process for Producing the Same - An object of the present invention is to provide a potting agent that enables the reduction of crawling and ensures sufficient penetration between the porous hollow fibers in stationary potting. The potting agent of the present invention is a potting agent for fixing an end portion of a porous hollow fiber group composed of a plurality of porous hollow fibers, and contains a resin material and a filler. The content of the filler is equal to or less than the content of the filler at a rising point of a variation curve of viscosity of the potting agent to filler content. | 02-05-2009 |
20090301959 | Hollow Fibers, A Method of Manufacturing a Hollow Fiber Bundle, A Cylindrical Module of Hollow Fiber Membrane, and an Immersion Type Module of Hollow Fiber Membrane - The object of the invention is to provide: a hollow fiber bundle, a method of manufacturing the hollow fiber bundle, a cylindrical module of hollow fiber membrane, and an immersion type module of hollow fiber membrane wherein the hollow fibers are easy to apply scrubbing while maintaining specified intervals among the hollow fibers. A hollow fiber bundle bundling porous hollow fibers, including; hollow fibers | 12-10-2009 |
20100224548 | Screen-Like Object Made of Hollow Fibers, a Method of Manufacturing a Hollow Fiber Bundle, a Cylindrical Module of Hollow Fiber Membrane, and an Immersion Type Module of Hollow Fiber Membrane - The object of the invention is to provide: a screen-like object made of hollow fibers, a method of manufacturing a hollow fiber bundle, a cylindrical module of hollow fiber membrane, and an immersion type module of hollow fiber membrane wherein the hollow fibers are easy to bundle while keeping fiber-to-fiber intervals. The screen-like object made of hollow fibers includes: porous hollow fibers | 09-09-2010 |
20110031180 | Hollow-Fiber Module and Process for Producing The Same - An object of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing a hollow fiber module that makes it possible to decrease the spacing between a plurality of hollow fiber sheets and facilitate the formation of a potting portion with a two-layer structure. The method for manufacturing a hollow fiber module of a preferred embodiment includes: a first step of preparing a plurality of units in which a plurality of hollow fibers are fixed and provided side by side at the end portion side thereof on plate-shaped members; a second step of laminating the plurality of units so that portions of the plate-shaped members overlap via a first curable resin and filling a partial region on a side opposite the end portion side between the adjacent plate-shaped members with the first curable resin; and a third step of filling a region on the end portion side from the first curable resin between the adjacent plate-shaped members with a second curable resin having a hardness after curing that is higher than that of the first curable resin, and then curing the second curable resin. | 02-10-2011 |
