Inventor: YUASA YASUHITO
IPC: G03G9/087
Filed: 2000-03-02
Abstract: In an electrophotographic apparatus, which forms a color image by transferring a plurality of toner images having different colors onto an image-receiving sheet so as to be stacked and fixed thereon, even in the case of carrying out an oil-less fixing process and allowing the process speed to vary within wide range, the present invention provides a binder resin, toner and an electrophotographic apparatus which make it possible to achieve both superior fixing property and anti-offset property, and consequently to form a color image with high color reproducibility and high quality. In the present invention, a toner comprising a molecular weight maximum peak in a range of molecular weights from 2 x 10 3  to 3 x 10 4  in molecular weight distribution of GPC chromatogram, and a molecular weight maximum peak or shoulder in a range from 3 x 10 4  to 1 x 10 6 , wherein said molecular weight maximum peak or shoulder located on a range of molecular weights from 3 x 10 4  to 1 x 10 6  is obtained by kneading a toner composition containing a specific binder resin containing a high molecular weight component at not less than a specific amount so that the high molecular weight component of the binder is converted into a low molecular weight component by thermal or mechanical energy exerted at the time of kneading, is provided.

Abstract: A hybrid airship (10) including an outer shell (11), a plurality of helium filled gas envelopes (19), and an all-electric propulsion system (50) can have a high-aspect ratio wing shape. In some embodiments, the hybrid airship (10) may be launched using buoyancy lift alone and aerodynamic lift may be provided by the all-electric propulsion system (50). In one aspect, a photovoltaic array (52) and a high energy density power storage system (51) may be combined to power the propulsion system (50) making the propulsion system (50) regenerative. The high-aspect ratio wing shape provides low drag, and can allow the hybrid airship (10) to fly at an altitude of at least about 100,000 ft (30480 m). By continuously recharging the power storage system (51), the hybrid airship (10) in accordance with some embodiments can stay aloft for months or even years. The hybrid airship (10) may function as a military intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance and communications relay platform.

Abstract: A wheelchair 1 is adapted for one handed operation by incorporation of a foot operated steering means that allows a user to steer a steerable castor 6 by swivelling a footplate 8. A drive means 15 between footplate 8 and the steerable castor 6 is adapted to translate an angle of swivel of the footplate 8 about a swivelling axis 14 to a greater angle of rotation of the steerable castor 6 about a steering axis 21. Typically the ratio of footplate swivel to steerable castor rotation is around 1:2. The wheelchair 1 also has a drive wheel 3 incorporating a differential 41 that allows both drive wheels 3, 4 of the wheelchair 1 to be driven from just one hand rim 42. The drive wheel 3 has a brake 59 for locking the differential 41 such that the wheelchair 1 can pirouette on the spot. Both the differential 41 and the brake 59 are incorporated in a quick release arrangement, such that the drive wheel 3 can be easily removed from the wheelchair 1 for transport and stowage.

Abstract: A wheel quick release system for a bicycle or other wheeled vehicle where the wheel can be easily removed by a manual operation on only one side of the wheel hub but is prevented from unexpected separation at all times while engaged with the wheel. A laterally moving skewer (5) mounted concentrically inside a hollow axle (4) is equipped with a "non-touch" nut (9) on one end and is spring loaded toward a quick release cam (41) on the other end thereby always urging the nut (9) against the adjacent dropout (2). To remove the wheel, the quick release cam (41) is operated and the quick release side assembly is pushed axially inward and a safety mechanism (10) is operated and held in this position while the wheel is removed from the fork dropouts (2). When the wheel is again inserted into the wheel fork (1), the skewer (5) automatically locks onto the dropouts (2), and subsequently if the quick release cam (41) is inadvertently left open by the user, the wheel will be somewhat loose but will remain safely inserted in the wheel mounts. In this way, if the bicycle or wheeled vehicle looks safe to ride, it is safe to ride.
