20090116857 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - Disclosed is an image forming apparatus including: an image forming section for forming an image on a sheet; a tray on which an image-formed sheet is discharged as a discharged-sheet; and a controller for setting an amount of sheet to be discharged, the amount being smaller than a load limit of discharged-sheet on the tray, obtaining an amount of the sheet on the tray, comparing the obtained amount of the sheet with the set amount of the sheet, and executing at least one of warning about the amount of the discharged-sheet and stopping an image forming job for driving the image forming section on the basis of the comparison result. | 05-07-2009 |
20090127773 | SHEET ALIGNING APPARATUS - In a sheet aligning apparatus, a pair of sheet aligning members stops at three positions such that when a sheet aligning operation is not conducted, the pair of sheet aligning members is stopped at the first position of an upper level so as not to come in contact with sheets discharged from a discharging section, when the sorting section shifts for sorting, the pair of sheet aligning members is stopped at the second position of a middle level lower than the first position so as not to come in contact with sheets stacked on the tray, and when a sheet aligning operation is conducted, the pair of sheet aligning members is stopped at the third position of a lower level so as to come in contact with the top surface of the tray or the upper surface of the sheets stacked on the tray. | 05-21-2009 |
20090289412 | SHEET EJECTION DEVICE, IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS AND SHEET FINISHER PROVIDED THEREWITH - A sheet ejection device includes: a sheet ejection tray adapted to stack a sheet ejected thereon; an alignment member which aligns a position in a width direction and a direction perpendicular to a sheet ejection direction of the sheet on the sheet ejection tray; and a supporting unit which supports the alignment member so that the alignment member is displaced in a direction intersecting the sheet ejection direction when outer force is applied to the alignment member. | 11-26-2009 |
20090295074 | SHEET EJECTION DEVICE, IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS AND POST-PROCESSING APPARATUS - A sheet ejection device capable of applying shift processing to the sheets on an ejection tray, using the alignment member contacting the sheets at a plurality of points in the direction in which the sheets are ejected. | 12-03-2009 |
20100209164 | POST-PROCESSING APPARATUS AND IMAGE FORMING SYSTEM - In a post-processing apparatus in which sheets are stacked in a stacker section and arranged to be subject to post-processing, the stacker section is provided with a sheet ejection section which subsequently ejects the sheets one by one or two or more sheets overlapped with each other, wherein the sheet ejection section is provided with a corrugation application member to apply corrugation onto the sheet to be ejected and to change extent of the corrugation to be applied. | 08-19-2010 |
20100225042 | SHEET FINISHER AND IMAGE FORMING SYSTEM PROVIDED THEREWITH - A sheet finisher includes: a stacking section having a stacking surface arranged to be tilted, and a stopper located below the stacking surface; a sheet finishing section which post-processes for a sheet bundle that hits the stopper and is stacked on the stacking section; a conveying section which sends two sheets to the stacking section under the condition that the two sheets are shifted each other in a conveyance direction and are superimposed; an input section in which sheet type information is inputted; and a controller which adjusts a shift amount between the two sheets so that the sheet on a lower side precedes toward the stopper by a prescribed amount, when a conveyance condition of the conveyance section is changed based on the inputted sheet type information inputted, and the two sheets are conveyed to the stacking section with the two sheets superimposed. | 09-09-2010 |
20110035089 | SUSPENSION CONTROL APPARATUS - The present invention provides a suspension control apparatus enabling a driver to obtain an excellent driving feeling. A suspension control apparatus according to the present invention controls an actuator disposed between a vehicle body and a wheel of a vehicle. The suspension control apparatus comprises a lateral acceleration detector operable to detect a lateral acceleration, a lateral jerk detector operable to detect a lateral jerk, and a suspension controller operable to control the actuator to change a pitch of the vehicle based the detected lateral acceleration and lateral jerk. | 02-10-2011 |
20120247888 | SUSPENSION APPARATUS - Shock absorbers of left and right front wheel suspensions and shock absorbers of left and right rear wheel suspensions each are constituted by a damping force adjustable hydraulic shock absorber provided with a frequency response unit. An actuator of a damping force variable mechanism provided to the shock absorber is driven and controlled by a controller. The controller variably adjusts the damping force between the soft side and the hard side by the damping force variable mechanism according to a vertical vibration when a vehicle body vertically vibrates at a low frequency. The controller does not adjust the damping force when the vehicle body vibrates at a higher frequency than the low frequency. | 10-04-2012 |
20130197754 | ELECTRIC SUSPENSION CONTROL APPARATUS - The controller inputs a required thrust force value calculated by a required thrust force calculation unit, to a low frequency filter and a high frequency filter. Output values of the low frequency filter and the high frequency filter are amplitude-limited by a low frequency limiter and a high frequency limiter, respectively. Output values of the low frequency limiter and the high frequency limiter are added, and the added value is output into an inverter as a thrust force instruction value. In this case, a limit value of the low frequency limiter is set to be smaller than a limit value of the high frequency limiter. | 08-01-2013 |
