| 20080205949 | Fixing unit - A fixing unit includes: a heat roller that is rotatably supported and that supplies heat for fixing; and a first and a second tubular heaters that are disposed in parallel in the heat roller along an axis thereof and that each have on an outer circumferential surface thereof one protruding residual fused tip, namely, tip portion. As viewed from a side end surface of the heat roller, the tip portions of the first and second tubular heaters are oriented directly opposite to each other with respect to the connection line connecting centers of the first and second tubular heaters. | 08-28-2008 |
| 20080219733 | IMAGE FORMING DEVICE WITH INTERLOCKED MECHANISM - A toner image formed on a photosensitive drum | 09-11-2008 |
| 20080285999 | Image-forming apparatus - An image-forming apparatus comprising an image-forming means for forming a toner image and for transferring it onto a recording medium by an electrophotographic system, a fixing means for heat-fixing the toner image onto the recording medium, and a discharge conveying passage for conveying the recording medium onto which the toner image has been heat-fixed to a discharge portion, which are arranged in an apparatus body. The discharge conveying passage extends in the up-and-down direction along one side wall of the apparatus body. A cooling fan is arranged between the image-forming means and the discharge conveying passage on the inside facing the discharge conveying passage for forming an air stream heading from the side of the image-forming means toward the discharge conveying passage. Exhaust ports are formed in the discharge conveying passage facing the cooling fan and in the one side wall. | 11-20-2008 |
| 20090047202 | Method for Producing Aluminate Phosphor and Aluminate Phosphor - The present invention provides a novel aluminate phosphor capable of emitting blue fluorescence having high color purity and high brightness in a certain wavelength range by ultraviolet ray excitation and electron beam excitation, and a useful production method thereof. The method for producing an aluminate phosphor according to the present invention is characterized in comprising a step of heating an aluminate represented by a composition formula: 7(Sr | 02-19-2009 |
| 20090129834 | Fixing device - A fixing device comprises a thermally fixing roller, a belt, and pushing means which pushes the belt toward the thermally fixing roller. A nipping region is formed between the belt and the thermally fixing roller. A maximum pressure is produced in an upstream end region of the thermally fixing roller in the direction of rotation in the nipping region, another maximum pressure is produced in a downstream end region thereof in the direction of rotation in the nipping region, and a pressure is produced in an intermediate region, which pressure being not higher than the maximum pressure in the upstream end region and not higher than the another maximum pressure in the downstream end region. | 05-21-2009 |
| 20100110159 | IMAGE READING DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - An image reading device having a recessed part which is located at a backward end with respect to a home-position of an image reading unit and extending downwardly with respect to a flat surface. When the image reading unit is located in the home-position, the recessed part receives a bent part of a flexible flat cable. With the image reading device, an upward pushing force applied to the image reading unit because of a repulsive force generated by the flexible flat cable trying to straighten itself is reduced. | 05-06-2010 |
| 20100289941 | IMAGE PICKUP APPARATUS AND OPTICAL-AXIS CONTROL METHOD - In order to perform adjustment of relative positions between an optical system and imaging devices, a plurality of the imaging devices, a plurality of solid lenses that form images of the imaging devices, and a plurality of optical-axis control units that control the direction of optical axes of light incident to the imaging devices are included. | 11-18-2010 |
| 20110169401 | PLASMA DISPLAY PANEL - The PDP has front plate and a rear plate. Front plate and the rear plate are oppositely disposed and sealed at the peripheries. Front plate has display electrode and dielectric layer. Dielectric layer contains an oxide of a divalent element, an oxide of a trivalent element, and an oxide of a tetravalent element. The total content of the oxide of a trivalent element and the oxide of a tetravalent element is larger by weight than the content of the oxide of a divalent element. | 07-14-2011 |
