An image forming apparatus includes an accepting unit, and a controller. The accepting unit accepts an instruction to execute an image forming process. The controller controls the accepting unit so as to prohibit the accepting unit from accepting an instruction to collectively execute multiple image forming processes when a billing device is usable which bills a user for execution of an image forming process and which is incapable of acquiring user identification information for identifying a user.

In a magnetic detection device for obtaining an output from between a variable resistance element using the magnetoresistance effect and a reference resistance element, a balance between resistance values in the device can be easily adjusted in a wide range. A voltage is applied to a resistance adjusting unit, a reference resistance element, and a variable resistance element, which are serially connected, and is also applied to another variable resistance element, another reference resistance element, and another resistance adjusting unit, which are serially connected. When subjected to a magnetic field of a predetermined size, resistance values of the variable resistance elements change, and as a result, the potentials of output terminals change. Each of the resistance adjusting units includes serially connected parallel portions each including a plurality of parallel connected resistance elements. The resistance value of the resistance adjusting unit can be changed by bringing one of the parallel connected resistance elements into a non-conduction state.

The cigarette lighter of the invention has an igniter member which promotes smooth burning of the fuel gas ejected from the gas nozzle. The igniter member is composed of an igniting element which is a coiled wire of platinum metal or a platinum-based alloy having a specified dimensions and a supporting member made of a wire of a refractory metal or alloy. The coil of platinum wire preferably has a flattened configuration to cover a larger front of the flame. The supporting member made of a wire of a refractory metal or alloy, around which the coil is wound, is preferably coated with a coating layer of a ceramic material, e.g., alumina. A simple but very reliable structure for mounting the igniter member in the fire bowl of the cigarette lighter is described.

A method for continuously electro-tinplating a metallic material comprising the steps of: using an acidic electro-tinplating solution containing phenolsulfonic acid or a salt thereof and tin ion, using an insoluble anode, and causing a DC electric current to flow between the insoluble anode and a metallic material, while replenishing the acidic electro-tinplating solution with tin ion, thereby forming a tinplating layer on the surface of the metallic material. The above-mentioned anode comprises an electric-conductive substrate, and a film comprising at least iridium oxide, formed on the surface of the electric-conductive substrate.

A length of electroplated metal foil, typically copper foil is prepared by placing a stationary arcuate anode concentrically with a rotating cathode drum to define a channel therebetween, passing a plating solution through the channel, conducting electricity across the channel for depositing metal on the cathode drum, and separating the metal deposit from the cathode drum. The anode includes a plurality of circumferentially arranged electrode segments formed of a valve metal material and coated with a platinum group metal or oxide thereof. The electrode segments are removably attached and electrically connected to a back plate. The split anode is easy in assembly and disassembly and, hence, in maintenance and repair, has a high degree of precision in configuration and dimensions, and ensures manufacture of copper foil of quality with a minimized variation in thickness during continuous operation.

Proposal is made for providing a high-performance electrode suitable for use in an oxygen-generating electrolytic process having an outstandingly low oxygen overvoltage and exhibiting high durability in a prolonged run of electrolysis. The electrode consists of an electroconductive substrate of a metal, e.g., titanium, and a multiple composite oxide coating layer thereon consisting of at least one layer of type A composed of iridium oxide and tantalum oxide in an Ir:Ta molar ratio of 40:60 to 79.9:20.1 and at least one layer of type B formed on the type A layer composed of iridium oxide and tantalum oxide in an Ir:Ta molar ratio of 80:20 to 99.9:0.1. A plural number of type A layers and a plural number of type B layers can be alternately laid one on the other so as to improve the mechanical stability of the coating layer on the substrate surface.
