Hirajima

Marehiko Hirajima, Mishima-Shi JP

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080285988Image forming apparatus and recording-medium feeding method - An image forming apparatus includes a storage unit configured to store a recording medium, an image forming unit configured to form an image on the recording medium, a paper feed unit configured to supply the recording medium from the storage unit, a conveying unit configured to convey the recording medium supplied by the paper feed unit to the image forming unit, and a control unit configured to control the paper feed unit and the conveying unit in conveying the recording medium. In accordance with a conveyance state in which the recording medium supplied from the storage unit by the paper feed unit is conveyed to the conveying unit, the control unit controls the conveying speed of the next recording medium supplied by the paper feed unit.11-20-2008
20110080605IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - The image controller includes a FET which stops supply power from a low-voltage power supply to an ASIC (second processing unit) in a power-saving mode and starts the supply power in a normal mode, and a communication line for issuing a notification pertaining to transition from the power-saving mode to the normal mode between the image controller and a CPU(first processing part). The CPU controls the FET so as to start supply power to the ASIC when instructed by the image controller to transition from the power-saving mode to the normal mode through the communication line.04-07-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20120112407RECORDING MATERIAL FEEDING APPARATUS AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - In a sheet feeding cassette which lifts up and lifts down a bottom plate each time when a paper is fed, a recording material sensor detects that no recording materials exist when the bottom plate rises over a predetermined position. Accordingly, by measuring a period of time when it is detected that no recording materials exist during a sheet feeding operation, a stacking amount of the recording materials in a sheet feeding cassette can be detected.05-10-2012

Tsuyoshi Hirajima, Fukuoka-Shi JP

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100089801PROCESS FOR PRODUCTION OF LOW-SPECIFIC-GRAVITY HOLLOW PARTICLES - To enable high-added-value low-specific-gravity hollow particles to be efficiently mass-produced by using, as a raw material, coal ash discharged when coal is combusted; enriching low-specific-gravity hollow particles contained in the raw material coal ash by classification to reduce the weight of the coal ash to be subjected to wet specific gravity separation; subjecting the raw material coal ash which have been reduced in weight to wet specific gravity separation to obtain low-specific-gravity components; and dehydrating and drying the low-specific-gravity components.04-15-2010

Yuki Hirajima, Shinjuku-Ku JP

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110101263SOLVENT-DISPERSIBLE PARTICLE, FABRICATION METHOD THEREOF, AND DISPERSION - A multi-component alloy particle containing at least two metal components and at least one surface modifier contacting the metal components where in the multi-component alloy particle atoms of the metal components are arranged in an ordered manner, and the multi-component alloy particle is ferromagnetic and disperses in a solvent. Method for making the multi-component alloy particle.05-05-2011

Yuki Hirajima, Tokyo JP

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110220837SOLVENT-DISPERSIBLE PARTICLE - A solvent-dispersible particle including, a nanoparticle including two or more metallic components, and surface modifiers for covering the surface of the nanoparticle. The surface modifier includes, within its one molecule, two or more functional groups interacting with the two or more metallic components in the nanoparticle, respectively, and one or more functional groups having affinity for a solvent in which the nanoparticle is dispersed.09-15-2011
