Abstract:
A powder detector includes a driver to drive a motor, a stirrer to stir powder in a vessel, a vibration plate disposed in the vessel and vibrated by a flip of the stirrer rotated by the motor, and circuitry. The circuitry detects a vibration of the vibration plate, estimates an amount of powder based on a detection result of the vibration, and causes the driver to drive the motor from a starting point, so as to move the stirrer to a preset halt position. The starting point is a rotation angle of the motor on detection of the vibration.

Claim (Index 4):
The powder detector according to  claim 1 ,\n wherein the circuitry stores the rotation angle of the motor when the stirrer halts, and wherein the circuitry estimates the starting point based on the rotation angle stored, when the stirrer restarts rotating.
