Inventor: ICHIDA MOTOHARU
IPC: G03G21/10
Filed: 2002-03-29
Abstract: The present invention provides a toner recycling
control system which stably feeds a liquid developer of an
appropriate concentration to a liquid developing apparatus
employing a high-viscosity liquid developer; appropriately
adjusts the concentration of residual developer collected
after development and after transfer; and feeds the adjusted
developer to the developing apparatus. The toner recycling
control system collects a post-development residual developer
from a developer-bearing body and a post-transfer residual
developer from an image-bearing body; performs developer
concentration adjustment to yield an adjusted developer; and
feeds the adjusted developer back to the developer-bearing
body. Thus, the toner recycling control system includes a
concentration adjustment tank which stores the collected
developer and is replenished with a concentrated developer
and carrier liquid for developer concentration adjustment;
and a buffer tank which receives and stores a liquid
developer which has undergone concentration adjustment in the
concentration adjustment tank. Once adjusted to an
appropriate concentration, the liquid developer is fed to the
developer-bearing body from the buffer tank.

Abstract: A wind-collecting device of the power generation tower (20) is used
to guide and accumulate airflow, and augment airflow rotation force and
the arm of rotation force acted on the wind wheel (50) to improve the
power output. The guiding device is used to minish air resistance acted
on the wind wheel (50) that is against the wind; and empennage device
is used to adjust automatically wind-collecting direction. The wind-collecting
device (10) is of arbitrary shape, and can be moved, rotated
or shape-changed, and its inlet (11) transverse section area is greater
than the outlet (12) one, so strong airflow can still be generated at the
outlet (12) to drive the wind wheel (50) on the power generation tower
(20) under puny natural airflow. One kind of the power generation tower
(20) is fixed type; the other one can be moved from one place to
another. The axis of the tower (20) is perpendicular to the ground. The
tower (20) has a rotating curved surface or a cylindrical surface, and
the electric power is generated by the rotation of couples of or hundreds
of wind wheel (50)s installed flatly on the tower (20) from the top
down.

Abstract: A package of a strip of material is formed by slitting or perforating a web to separate the web into side by side strips and fan folding the web to form a plurality of side by side stacks of the strips. The strip of each stack is spliced to the strip of the next stack to form a continuous strip through the package which can be unfolded for supply continuously to an end use machine. The package while compressed is wrapped by a packaging material which includes a bottom header plate and heat shrink bag wrapped around the package and under a bottom header plate and heat sealed to a bottom surface of the bottom header plate. The spliced connecting portions are held attached to the end plane of the package by a series of spaced tie members formed of spare strip material each of which extends across the end plane and has opposed ends of the tie member tucked between two of the strip portions of respective ones of the outermost stacks. Downstream of the supply and prior to folding a splice detector is responsive to the presence of a supply splice in the web and the control of the process is arranged to mark for rejection any package wherein the number of detected supply splices contained therein is greater than a predetermined number. The strip portions are spliced by ultrasonically heating the strip portions while in contact preferably at a butt splice while using heat sealable bridging fibers to effect a heat seal between the portions.
