Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes an image bearing member, a developing apparatus and a toner container which replenishes the developing apparatus with toner. The developing apparatus includes a first conveyance member having a first rotational shaft and a toner replenishment port. The toner container includes a second conveyance member having a second rotational shaft and a toner discharge port. The developing apparatus and the toner container are assembled in such a manner that the first rotational shaft and the second rotational shaft are in mutually perpendicular directions, and the toner replenishment port and the toner discharge port are mutually overlapping in a vertical direction. The second conveyance member rotates in a direction whereby the toner is discharged from the toner discharge port to the toner replenishment port at a position on an upstream side of the toner replenishment port in terms of the toner conveyance direction.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes an image bearing member for bearing a toner image, a developing device for supplying toner to a circumferential surface of the image bearing member, a toner container for supplying the toner to the developing device, a sheet conveyance path for conveying a sheet, and a housing. The housing accommodates the image bearing member, the developing device and the toner container. The housing has a first surface and a second surface different from the first surface. The toner container is taken out from the interior of the housing to the outside of the housing through the first surface. The developing device is taken out from the interior of the housing to the outside of the housing through the second surface.
Abstract:
A mobile communication method according to the present invention includes: a step A of causing a UE to send a MME accommodating an E-UTRAN a “LTE Attach Request” including capability information indicating whether or not the UE supports “VoLTE communications”; and a step B of causing the MME to judge whether or not to establish an IMS APN bearer between the UE and an IMS APN on the basis of the capability information when judging that an APN of the UE is the IMS APN.
Abstract:
A belt meandering preventing device 1 for a running test device 2 is provided with a first control means 14, a second control means 15, and a third control means. The first control means 14 detects the position of a belt 6 and controls a drum rocking means 8 so that the difference between the detected position of the belt 6 and a predetermined target position is zero. The second control means 14 detects the amount of rocking of a driven drum 5 rocked by the drum rocking means 8 and controls the drum rocking means 8 so that the detected amount of rocking of the driven drum 5 is a target amount of rocking.
Abstract:
The present invention is designed such that a new SGSN receives a location update message from a terminal (1) having moved from the management area of an old SGSN to the management area of the new SGSN, and the new SGSN having received the location update message sends a GTPv2 signal for getting communication path information corresponding to GTPv2, to the old SGSN. The old SGSN, upon receiving the GTPv2 signal, if holding communication path information of to GTPv1 as a logical communication path established for the terminal (1), sends, as a response, a GTPv2 signal in which the communication path information by GTPv1 is set in an additional parameter 24, to the new SGSN.

Abstract:
A sound source separation apparatus, includes: a plurality of sound input means into which a plurality of mixed sound signals in which sound source signals from a plurality of sound sources superimpose each other are input; first sound source separating means for separating and extracting SIMO signals corresponding to at least one sound source signal from the plurality of mixed sound signals by means of a sound source separation process of a blind source separation system based on an independent component analysis method; intermediate processing executing means for obtaining a plurality of intermediately processed signals by carrying out a predetermined intermediate processing including one of a selection process and a synthesizing process to a plurality of specified signals which is at least a part of the SIMO signals, for each of frequency components divided into a plurality; and second sound source separating means for obtaining separation signals corresponding to the sound source signals by applying a binary masking process to the plurality of intermediately processed signals or a part of the SIMO signals and the plurality of intermediately processed signals.
Abstract:
A scanner is provided that has a light-beam emitter for emitting a light beam, a light-beam deflector for deflecting the light beam to scan a scanning surface, a photo-detector provided at a position outside an image-forming scanning range of the scanning surface to detect a scanning light beam before the scanning light beam starts generating a scanning line in the image-forming scanning range, a rotatable member located in front of an incident surface of the photo-detector and positioned in a recess formed on an outer surface of a housing. The rotatable member is rotatable about a rotational axis perpendicular to a plane defined by the scanning light beam by said deflector. The scanner also has an optical member provided on the rotatable member that allows the scanning light beam to pass therethrough to be incident upon the incident surface of the photo-detector, and a device for adjusting rotational position of said rotatable member about said rotational axis. A through hole through which the optical member is inserted in the housing is formed at the bottom of the recess, and the optical member is inserted into the housing through the through hole.
Abstract:
So as to provide a network service that allows a specific service to be provided and received safely for both the user and service provider, a service provider providing a user identification file that is installed in a client computer used by a user whose user eligibility is confirmed in advance. Upon request for access from the client computer, the service provider checks for the presence of a user identification file residing in the client computer in the browser screen and provides a specific service only for access requests from the client computer confirmed to have user identification files. User identification files have no effects on pre-installed programs of the client computer when they are installed and are equipped with computer identification symbols whose presence can be checked in the browser screen.
