20090256449 | PIEZOELECTRIC VIBRATING DEVICES AND METHODS FOR MANUFACTURING SAME - An exemplary piezoelectric device includes a base having a first connection electrode electrically connected to an external electrode. A second connection electrode is connected to the first connection electrode on a first main surface of a supporting member affixed to the base. A third connection electrode, formed on a second main surface of the supporting member, is electrically connected to the second connection electrode. A piezoelectric vibrating piece is affixed to the supporting member by application of an adhesive applied to the third connection electrode. The piezoelectric vibrating piece and includes excitation electrodes. A convexity is located and extends in a designated direction relative to the third connection electrode to prevent applied adhesive from spreading beyond a designated area of the piezoelectric vibrating piece. | 10-15-2009 |
20100259131 | CRYSTAL UNIT - A double rotation Y-cut crystal unit includes a crystal element, which is respectively rotated by an angle θ° and an angle φ° in a counterclockwise direction centering on an X axis and a Z axis of crystal axes (X, Y, Z), which principal surface is perpendicular to a Y″ axis of newly-generated rotated crystal axes (X′, Y″, Z′), and which is formed into a rectangular geometry longer in one direction, wherein a direction of the long side of the crystal element corresponds to an axial direction when the crystal element is rotated by an angle α° in the counterclockwise direction with the X′ axis serving as a central axis in a plane of X′-Z′ of the rotated crystal axes serving as the principal surface, and wherein the angle α° is set to (30-φ)°±45°. | 10-14-2010 |

20110013927 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS AND CLEANING MECHANISM - According to one embodiment, a method for cleaning including, scraping off, agitating, or capturing, in non-contact with a belt surface, a visualizing material present on the belt surface and fiber or powder different from the visualizing material, coming into contact with the belt surface and scraping off, agitating, or capturing the visualizing material present on the belt surface and the fiber or the powder different from the visualizing material, and being located in contact with the belt surface at predetermined pressure and scraping off the visualizing material present on the belt surface and the fiber or powder different from the visualizing material. | 01-20-2011 |
20110243625 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, CLEANING APPARATUS, AND CLEANING METHOD - According to one embodiment, an image forming apparatus includes a foreign-matter removing roller arranged in a post-process of a transfer device. The foreign-mater removing roller includes a rotatable metal shaft and a cylindrical conductive first sponge attached to the outer circumference of the metal shaft. The foreign-matter removing roller is attached a fixed distance apart from the surface of an image carrier and electrostatically attracts foreign matters adhering to the image carrier. A cleaning member scrapes off the foreign matters attracted by the foreign-matter removing roller. | 10-06-2011 |
20110274459 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, CHARGING APPARATUS AND CLEANING METHOD OF CHARGING APPARATUS - An image forming apparatus according to an embodiment includes an image carrier which is irradiated with a laser beam to form an electrostatic latent image, and a charging device which is disposed in parallel to the image carrier and includes an electrode that charges an electric charge to the image carrier. The charging device has a cleaning device which includes a container accommodating a cleaning member abutting an end portion of a discharge side of the electrode, moves the container along the longitudinal direction of the electrode, removes foreign matter attached to the electrode by the cleaning member, and accommodates the foreign matter in the container. | 11-10-2011 |
