Patent EP-1434111-A2 (EP)
Inventor: KITAZAWA ATSUNORI
IPC: G03G15/20
Filed: 2003-11-18
Abstract: A nip pressure at an inlet site of a nip portion 69 is higher than a
nip pressure at an exit site of the nip portion 69. Thus, the relatively
higher nip pressure is applied to a recording medium 4 at the inlet site of
the nip portion 69 thereby squeezing out a carrier liquid L from space
between toner particles T and between the recording medium 4 and the
toner T. Hence, the amount of carrier liquid L remaining in the spaces is
notably decreased. The recording medium 4 with a decreased amount of
carrier liquid L carried thereon is moved to the exit site of the nip portion
69, where the toner T is brought into pressure contact with one side S1 of
the recording medium 4 thereby to be fixed to the recording medium 4.

select and deselect the boards without interfering with the normal operations
on the system backplane bus. The protocol and circuitry is extended to
hierarchically arranged systems, so that a primary serial bus master (SBM)
device can selectively access and communicate with any device positioned at
any level of the hierarchy. Further disclosed embodiments utilize multiple
remote serial bus masters on hierarchically arranged networks, each remote
serial bus master being coupled to a primary serial bus master using the
