| 20110096453 | ELECTRIC CHARGE ELIMINATING DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS EQUIPPED WITH THE SAME - An electric charge eliminating device for eliminating electric charge on an image carrying member or on a recording medium carrying member which is incorporated in an image forming apparatus, comprises a needlelike electrode having a plurality of protruding sections which form a plurality of discontinuous discharge points; an insulating holder for holding the needlelike electrode; a discharging power source for applying an electric voltage to the needlelike electrode; and a conductive shielding member arranged between the needlelike electrode and the image carrying member or the recording medium carrying member. | 04-28-2011 |
| 20110300789 | AIR CONDITIONING APPARATUS AND AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM - An embodiment includes a first space, a second space, a first damper, a second damper, and a third damper. The first space is connected to a cold space, having cold air reside therein to send to the cold space. The second space has return air reside therein, as it is discharged from a hot space. The first damper has an opening adjusted under control of a controller to take in outdoor air to the first space, and is operable to have an open state in an emergency with a server being supplied with power. The second damper has an opening adjusted under control of the controller to discharge return air in the second space, outside thereof, and is operable to have an open state in the emergency. The third damper has an opening adjusted under control of the controller to recirculate return air in the second space to the first space. | 12-08-2011 |
| 20110306287 | AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM - Some embodiment includes an air conditioner, an air blower, a sensor, and a controller. The air conditioner works for supply to cold spaces. The air blower produces streams of air in and between a server room and an air conditioning system. The sensor takes a measure of current or power as consumption at servers. The controller operates on the measure at the sensor, to control the air blower. | 12-15-2011 |
| 20110306288 | AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANAGING SERVER ROOM - According one embodiment, an air-conditioning system is connected to a server room, in which server racks accommodating a plurality of servers are placed between separated first and second spaces, by a return air duct and a supply air duct. In the server room, an airflow is formed so that cold air flown from under the floor into the first space is heated by heat generation of the servers and is flown out from the second space as return air. The system sets control contents for generating supply air within a previously determined supply air temperature target range and a previously determined supply air humidity target range and controls the operation of each device in the system based on the set control contents. | 12-15-2011 |
| 20120043304 | MELT TYPE HIGH BASICITY FLUX FOR SUBMERGED ARC WELDING USE - High basicity melt flux for submerged arc welding use which is used when preparing high strength weld metal and gives sound, high toughness weld metal free of top slag-in is provided. The melt flux for submerged arc welding use which is used when welding the seams of UO pipe for pipeline use having a tensile strength of a base material of 800 MPa to 1200 MPa is melt flux for submerged arc welding use characterized by containing, by mass%, CaO: 5.0% to 25.0%, MgO: 1.0% to 5.0%, Al | 02-23-2012 |
| 20120134698 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - An image forming apparatus including a transfer section for transferring a toner image formed on an image bearing member onto a sheet by pressure contact of the sheet against the image bearing member with a transfer member; a cleaning section having a cleaning blade to remove residual toner on the image bearing member; and a control section for controlling a rotation of the image bearing member so as to carry out a return action of a blade configuration which stops or reverses the rotation of the image bearing member, when the rotation amount reaches a predetermined value, wherein the control section additionally carries out the return action when the rotation amount reaches a value smaller than the predetermined value, in a case where a size of a sheet in a current job is larger than a size a sheet having been passed through in a previous job. | 05-31-2012 |
| 20120134700 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - An image forming apparatus including: an image forming section having a intermediate transfer body to carry a toner image on a photoreceptor and transfer the toner image onto a sheet of paper; a cleaning section for removing residual toner on the intermediate transfer body by bringing a cleaning blade into close contact with the intermediate transfer body; and a control section for controlling a rotation of the intermediate transfer body so as to carry out a return action of a blade configuration which stops or reverses the rotation of the intermediate transfer body, when a rotation amount reaches a predetermined value, wherein the control section carries out the return action when the rotation amount reaches a value smaller than the predetermined value, in a case where a plurality of previous printing jobs is determined to be intermittent printing. | 05-31-2012 |
