Abstract: An inkjet recording apparatus (1) includes an image forming section (40), a decurler (20), a changing section (50), a first calculating section (72), storage (60), a second calculating section (73), and a controller (75). The image forming section (40) ejects ink onto a sheet (S). The decurler (20) bends the sheet (S). The changing section (50) changes a bending amount of the sheet (S). The first calculating section (72) calculates an ink ejection rate (α) to the sheet (S) for each of areas of the sheet (S). The storage (60) stores therein first bending information (62) indicating a first target bending amount (β) of a specific area of the sheet (S) corresponding to the ink ejection rate (α) to the specific area. The second calculating section (73) calculates a second target bending amount of each of the areas. The controller (75) controls the changing section (50) based on the second target bending amounts.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a sheet feeding tray. The sheet feeding tray includes a table, a pair of side cursors, a pair of rack gears, a pinion gear, a rotation shaft, and a biasing member. On the table, a sheet to be supplied in a predetermined sheet feeding direction is placed. The pair of side cursors are supported by the table, so as to move in a width direction intersecting the sheet feeding direction. The pair of rack gears are respectively fixed to the pair of side cursors, and extend in the width direction. The pinion gear is meshed with the pair of rack gears. The rotation shaft is fixed to the table, and rotatably supports the pinion gear, the rotation shaft being elastically deformable. The biasing member biases the rotation shaft in a direction for contacting the pinion gear.

Abstract: A recording medium conveyance device includes a recording medium conveyance unit, a detecting member, a voltage application unit, and a control unit. The recording medium conveyance unit conveys a recording medium. The detecting member is disposed to face the recording medium conveyance unit with a predetermined interval therebetween. The voltage application unit applies a detection voltage between the recording medium conveyance unit and the detecting member. The control unit controls the recording medium conveyance unit and the voltage application unit. When the recording medium conveyance unit conveys the recording medium, the control unit controls the voltage application unit to apply the detection voltage, detects contact between the recording medium and the detecting member, on the basis of a change in the detection voltage with respect to a predetermined threshold value, and determines conveyance abnormality of the recording medium.

Abstract: A collapsible container includes a lower frame, an upper frame, lateral plates, and a pair of lid plates. On the upper frame or the pair of lid plates, a plurality of positioning protrusions is provided to protrude upward along a circumferential edge of the upper frame. An installation surface of a bottom plate includes a first groove into which the positioning protrusions of a lower one of each pair of vertically adjacent collapsible containers stacked up are fitted, a second groove into which the positioning protrusions of a lower one of each pair of vertically adjacent collapsible containers stacked in a pinwheel configuration are fitted, and a plurality of third grooves that is formed parallel to long sides of the bottom plate and into which support rails are fitted. The third grooves are smaller in depth from the installation surface than the first groove and the second groove.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to correct the deviation of a sheet in the width direction occurring on a conveyance path from a sheet correction mechanism (4) to a discharge tray. A sheet shift portion (41, 43, 44) moves a sheet in the width direction. A conveying position detecting portion (45, 46, 47) detects the position of the sheet in the width direction. A discharge position detecting portion (54, 8a) detects a discharge position of the sheet, in the width direction, discharged onto a discharge tray (33) in a sheet discharge portion (31). A control portion (8b) derives an amount of deviation between the discharge position and a discharge reference position based on a detection result of the discharge position detecting portion (54, 8a). Furthermore, the control portion (8b) corrects a conveying position of the sheet in a sheet conveying portion according to the amount of deviation.

Abstract: A power supply device includes a signal generation portion, a voltage generation portion, and a correction portion. The signal generation portion generates a PWM signal. In the voltage generation portion, an output voltage value is adjusted according to the PWM signal. The correction portion finds a correction value for a duty ratio corresponding to a frequency or a period of the PWM signal, and corrects the duty ratio of the PWM signal based on the correction value.

Abstract: A collapsible container includes a lower frame, an upper frame, a pair of flip-up lateral plates, a pair of divided lateral plates, and a pair of lid plates. Each of the pair of divided lateral plates includes an upper lateral plate, a lower lateral plate, and a hinge. On outer lateral surfaces of the upper lateral plate and the lower lateral plate, a plurality of upper reinforcement ribs and a plurality of lower reinforcement ribs are formed, respectively, astride the hinge. Convexities are formed on one of the upper reinforcement ribs and the lower reinforcement ribs. When the divided lateral plates are in a bent state, the upper reinforcement ribs are opposed to upper parts of the lower reinforcement ribs, and the convexities contact the other of the upper reinforcement ribs and the lower reinforcement ribs.

Abstract: A processing device within a computing system uses a scheduler that dynamically processes jobs. Jobs are received at the processing device. The scheduler uses one or more scheduling algorithms to schedule the jobs for processing. The processing device queries one or more external systems for factors related to parameters and attributes at the external systems. Factors may include quality of service, capacity, load, time of day, and operations currently running on the external system. The scheduler uses the factors from the external system to modify the schedule for the received jobs.
