Inventor: ARUGA TOMOE
IPC: G03G15/01
Filed: 2002-11-27
Abstract: An image forming apparatus comprises: an image
transfer carrying means 18 having flexibility and having
an endless sleeve-like shape; a plurality of image forming
means 7 which are arranged along the image transfer
carrying means 18 such that respective image carriers 17
thereof are in contact with the image transfer carrying
means 18, each image forming means 7 comprising a
latent image forming means 6 for forming a latent image
on the image carrier and a developing means for
developing the latent image formed on the image carrier;
and transfer bias applying means 16 which are disposed
on the back of the image transfer carrying means at
positions where the respective image carriers are in
contact with the image transfer carrying means for
applying transfer bias. The image transfer carrying means
18 is laid around at least two rollers with certain tension
and is positioned to be in contact with the image carriers
17 to have predetermined nip width therebetween and
each transfer bias applying means abuts the image
transfer carrying means 18 to have a contact area
narrower than the nip width for applying transfer bias. At
gradually increasing spaces at the entrance end and the
exit end of each nip portion of the image transfer carrying
means, even with high transfer bias voltage, the discharge
phenomenon and an undesired phenomenon of toner
image scattering from predetermined positions are
prevented, thus preventing the deterioration of image 
quality.

Abstract: A method of detecting errors in air data sensing
systems having multi-function probes being used in
combinations to define probe systems includes a step
(A) of, for each probe system, making a first
prediction of an aircraft parameter as a function of
local angles of attack at two member probes of the
particular system, and making a second prediction of
the aircraft parameter as a function of local pressure
ratios at the two member probes of the particular
system. A step (B) is performed in which, for each of
the probe systems, the first and second predictions of
the aircraft parameter are compared to determine
whether the first and second predictions are within a
predetermined threshold of each other. Then, a step
(C) is performed in which, for each of the probe
systems, if the first and second predictions of the
aircraft parameter are not within the predetermined
threshold of each other, then the particular probe
system is identified as having a malfunctioning member
probe.
