| 20100054831 | CLEANING MEMBER, CLEANER, IMAGE CARRIER UNIT AND IMAGE FORMING DEVICE - A cleaning member includes a cleaning part whose one end portion comes into contact with a surface of an image carrier, and a supporting part that supports the cleaning part and applies a force for pressing the one end portion of the cleaning part to the surface of the image carrier, wherein a surface of a first portion including the one end portion of the cleaning part is bonded to the supporting part with a first adhesive layer, and a surface of a second portion including the other end portion opposite to the one end portion of the cleaning part is bonded to the supporting part with a second adhesive layer having a Type-A durometer hardness which is lower than that of the first adhesive layer. | 03-04-2010 |
| 20100247188 | CLEANING DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS USING THE SAME - A cleaning device includes a cleaning blade that contacts a surface of a member to be cleaned to remove a residue remaining on the surface of the member to be cleaned, and that includes multiple layers, wherein a leading end portion of the cleaning blade shifts in a separating direction from the surface of the member to be cleaned due to a difference in thermal expansion property among the multiple layers when temperature rises. | 09-30-2010 |
| 20100247189 | CLEANING DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS USING THE SAME - A cleaning device includes a cleaning blade member that has a tip abutting a surface of an image carrier so as to remove a residue remaining on the surface of the image carrier; an attaching member that includes a first attachment piece to which a base end of the cleaning blade member is attached, and a second attachment piece which is provided so as to intersect the first attachment piece at a predetermined angle; a housing member to which one of the first attachment piece and the second attachment piece is fixed at both ends along a longitudinal direction thereof; and an external force exerting member that exerts an external force in a direction which intersects a surface of the other one of the first attachment piece and the second attachment piece, which is not fixed to the housing member. | 09-30-2010 |

| 20080288674 | Storage system and storage device - A storage system includes: a plurality of data input and output parts through; a data storing part that stores the data inputted and outputted through the plurality of data input and output parts; a range information storing part that stores range information; first control part controlling the data storing part to read and write the data in accordance with the stored range information, and that rewrites the stored range information to predetermined range information in a case where a prescribed signal is inputted from the data input and output part; and a plurality of second control parts that are provided correspondingly to the plurality of data input and output parts to input and output the data, and that input the prescribed signal to the data input and output parts in a prescribed case. | 11-20-2008 |
| 20080294966 | DATA TRANSMISSION APPARATUS, DATA TRANSMISSION DEVICE, DATA RECEPTION DEVICE AND DATA TRANSMISSION SYSTEM - A data transmission apparatus includes a packet generation section, a frame encoding section, a transmission section, a reception section, a frame decoding section and a packet extraction section. The packet generation section generates a packet upon request. The frame encoding section generates a frame having a predetermined length by dividing the packet or adding dummy data to the packet and generates an error-correcting-code-added frame by adding an error correcting code to the frame. The transmission section transmits the generated error-correcting-code-added frame through a transmission line. The reception section receives the error-correcting-code-added frame. The frame decoding section performs an error detection and an error correction for the error-correcting-code-added frame. The packet extraction section extracts the packet by removing the error correcting code from the error-correcting-code-added frame for which the error detection and the error correction have been performed. | 11-27-2008 |
| 20100128597 | DATA CONTROL DEVICE, STORAGE DEVICE AND METHOD OF CONNECTING DATA CONTROL DEVICE - A data control device includes: a switch portion that has a plurality of first terminals on an upstream side, a plurality of second terminals on a downstream side, and a circuit portion that optionally switches a connection between the first terminals and the second terminals based on an external switching signal; and at least one control portion that has a first input/output portion on the upstream side and a second input/output portion on the downstream side, wherein the second input/output portion is connected to the first terminal of the switch portion and the first input/output portion is connected to the second terminal of the switch portion, and wherein the at least one control portion controls an input/output of data between the first input/output portion and the second input/output portion. | 05-27-2010 |
