Patent EP-1031890-A1 (EP)
Inventor: SATO SHOUGO
IPC: G03G21/16
Filed: 1999-09-07
Abstract: A process unit detachably attachable to an image forming apparatus includes a photosensitive member cartridge having a photosensitive member, and a developer cartridge having a developing roller that supplies a developer to the photosensitive member. Urging devices are provided on right and left sides of the photosensitive member cartridge to urge a developing roller to the photosensitive member. Action-receiving portions provided on the opposite sides of the developer cartridge receive action performed by the urging devices. Each urging device has a frame-like slide support member pivotably connected to the corresponding side wall inner surface of the photosensitive member cartridge via pivots, and a motion acting portion protruded outwardly from the slide support member beyond the side wall. Guide surfaces are provided on the opposite sides of an image forming apparatus housing. As the process unit is moved into the housing, the motion acting portion of each urging device slides along the upward and downward slopes of one of the guide surfaces, whereby the slide support member is changed from a non-urging orientation to an urging orientation relative to the action-receiving portion, so that the developing roller can be pressed against to the photosensitive drum.

Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for amplifying
signals, an amplifier (40) being controlled by a feedback
loop. In the feedback loop, a threshold voltage is added to
a control voltage in order to compensate for the threshold
behaviour of the amplifier (40). The test signal of the
amplifier (40) is either transferred to the feedback loop by
a directional coupler (6) or by using a current mirror in
the last stage of the amplifier (41). For a summing device,
which is used for subtracting an output voltage of a power
detector (7) from a reference voltage in order to find out
the deviation of the amplifier (40) from its optimum
operation conditions an operational amplifier or a resistive
adder is used. For the adder (12) an operational amplifier
is implemented.

Abstract: An air inlet assembly for the scroll housing (20) of an automotive air
conditioning and ventilation system is specially structurally matched to the
scroll housing (20) so as to be more compact and efficient. An inlet housing (36) is
fashioned coaxial to the scroll housing (20) and blower (22), within which a coaxial,
partially cylindrical door (46) rotates around the central axis (A) so as to open or close
one of a pair of diametrically opposed air openings (38,40). An annular filter (62) fits
within the rotating door (46). Regardless of which air inlet (38,40) is open, air that is
pulled in by the blower (22) is forced into a radial space between the filter and the
door (46), three hundred and sixty degrees around, and is forced radially through
the filter before entering the scroll housing. Because of the coaxial, matching
relationship between inlet housing (36) a scroll housing (20), the entire assembly is very
compact and low in profile, as measured along the vertical co axis (A).

Abstract: Disclosed are a liquid-absorbent polymer and a substantially clear gelatinoid product. The liquid absorbent polymer comprises a saponified graft copolymer of starch and a polynitrile species, such as polyacrylonitrile. In accordance with the disclosed invention, the liquid-absorbent polymer is prepared from a derivatized starch, the derivatized starch having a degree of substitution sufficient to substantially inhibit starch-starch interactions in the gelatinoid product formed upon mixing of the polymer with liquid. Preferred starches have a degree of substitution (DS) of at least about 0.01. Upon saponification of the liquid-absorbent polymer and placing of the polymer into absorbent contact with a liquid, a gelatinoid product will be formed. The gelatinoid product thus formed will have a substantially homogeneous index of refraction, and thus will be substantially clear.

Abstract: A novel system for a new kind of electronic newsgathering and videography is described. In particular, a camera that captures light passing through the center of a lens of an eye of the user is described. Such an electronic newsgathering system allows the eye itself to, in effect, function as a camera. In wearable embodiments of the invention, a journalist wearing the apparatus becomes, after adaptation, an entity that seeks, without conscious thought or effort, an optimal point of vantage and camera orientation. Moreover, the journalist can easily become part of a human intelligence network, and draw upon the intellectual resources and technical photographic skills of a large community. Because of the journalist's ability to constantly see the world through the apparatus of the invention, which may also function as an image enhancement device, the apparatus behaves as a true extension of the journalist's mind and body, giving rise to a new genre of documentary video. In this way, it functions as a seamless communications medium that uses a reality-based user-interface.
