| 20100221051 | Sheet feeding device and image forming apparatus incorporating same - A sheet feeding device includes a sheet feed cassette, a bottom plate and an end wall mechanism. When the number of recording media sheets decreases, the bottom plate hinged at a trailing edge thereof rises about the hinged end to keep the top sheet of the recording media sheets in contact with a sheet feed roller. The end wall mechanism includes a first urging member, a first pressing member, a support member, and a second pressing member, and aligns and presses the trailing edge of the recording medium. The first pressing member urged by the first urging member and supported by the support member presses the trailing edge of the recording medium. The second pressing member urged by the second urging member moves down due to the weight of the recording medium on the second pressing member and moves up when the number of the recording media sheets decreases. | 09-02-2010 |
| 20110058829 | Sheet thickness detector and image forming apparatus using same - The sheet thickness detector includes a fixed member, a displacement roller disposed opposite the fixed member and movable in such a linear direction as to be contacted with or separated from the fixed member when the sheet passes through a nip therebetween, bearings rotatably supporting a shaft of the displacement roller, a displacement member movable in the linear direction in conjunction with the displacement roller and integrated with at least one of the bearings, and a displacement sensor operatively connected to the displacement member and detecting displacement of the displacement member. The thickness of the sheet passing through the nip is determined based on the amount of displacement of the displacement member. | 03-10-2011 |

| 20100019440 | Recording medium conveyer capable of effectively conveying recording medium of various types - In a recording medium conveyer, a driver drives a feeding member and a conveying member provided downstream from the feeding member in a recording medium conveyance direction independently. A controller stops driving the feeding member when a first time period elapses after a recording medium reaches the conveying member. When a selector judges that the thickness of the recording medium identifies the recording medium as thin paper, the controller does not drive the feeding member after the controller starts driving the conveying member, and when the selector judges that the recording medium has a thickness greater than a thickness of the recording medium that identifies the recording medium as thin paper, the controller restarts driving the feeding member no later than when the controller starts driving the conveying member. | 01-28-2010 |

| 20110059176 | MATERIAL FOR PREVENTING TISSUE ADHESION AND MATERIAL FOR PREVENTING JOINT CONTRACTURE - The present invention provides a tissue adhesion prevention material preparable at an affected area at the time of surgical procedure by producing a three-dimensional polymeric structure having a flexible structure and high solute permeability in a medium comprising water as the main component under mild conditions appropriate for body tissue components (i.e., at ordinary temperature and pressure) without conducting a chemical reaction or employing a physical procedure such as heating or light or radiation irradiation. This makes it possible to provide a tissue adhesion prevention material and a joint contracture prevention materials, which can effectively prevent postoperative adhesion of a tissue in the affected area to the surrounding tissue and contracture of the movable part of a joint. | 03-10-2011 |
