Abstract:
A lock lever structure includes a shaft; a cam attached to the shaft to fit a different-shaped portion of the shaft to prevent rotation of the cam in a circumferential direction of the shaft, the different-shaped portion having a different shape in cross section from a round portion of the shaft; a lever having an inner hollow cylindrical portion larger than an outline of the shaft and attached to the shaft to be rotatable in the circumferential direction of the shaft; a spring attached to the shaft to press the cam and the lever in an axial direction of the shaft; and a retainer attached to the shaft to retain the spring, the cam, and the lever to the shaft. The cam has at least two valley portions. The lever has a contact portion to contact the cam. The contact portion has a base shape.
Abstract:
Provided are a film formation device and a film formation method for forming a metal film, with which metal films with a desired thickness can be continuously formed on surfaces of a plurality of substrates. A film formation device 1A includes at least a positive electrode 11, a negative electrode 12, a solid electrolyte membrane 13 arranged on a surface of the positive electrode 12, between. the positive electrode and a substrate to serve as the negative electrode, and a power supply unit E adapted to apply a voltage across the positive electrode 11 and the substrate B. A voltage is applied across the positive electrode 11 and the substrate B to deposit metal on a surface of the substrate from metal ions contained in the solid electrolyte membrane 13, whereby a metal film F made of metal is formed, The positive electrode 11 is made of a porous body that allows a solution L containing metal ions to pass therethrough and supplies the metal ions to the solid electrolyte membrane 13.

Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes a first human body detector, a second human body detector, and a controller. The first human body detector has a first detection span to detect a human body to output a signal. The second human body detector has a second detection span to detect a human body to output a signal. The controller changes a state of the image forming apparatus from a standby state to an operation state in accordance with the output signal from each of the first human body detector and the second human body detector. A first center line of the first detection span intersects with a second center line of the second detection span at a portion where the first detection span and the second detection span overlap with each other in a planar view.
Abstract:
A cover open/close mechanism, which is included in an image forming apparatus, includes a cover having a free end and disposed movable between a closed state that a part of the apparatus body is covered and an open state that the covered part is exposed, a cover rotating shaft about which the cover rotates in a receding direction when the cover moves from the closed state to the open state, a support member rotating shaft disposed parallel to the cover rotating shaft, a cover rotating shaft support member to support the cover rotating shaft and to change a position of the cover rotating shaft with respect to the apparatus body by rotating about the support member rotating shaft, and a biasing member to bias the cover rotating shaft support member in a manner in which the cover rotating shaft support member rotates in an approaching direction.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes an imaging unit, a ventilator unit, and an electrical conductor. The imaging unit incorporates electrically powered equipment to which power is supplied from an external voltage source. The ventilator unit is connectable with the imaging unit to ventilate the imaging unit. The ventilator unit includes a fan and an air duct. The fan generates an airflow. The air duct extends from the fan to direct the airflow between the fan and the imaging unit. The electrical conductor is disposed within the air duct to electrically connect the imaging unit and the voltage source upon connection of the ventilator unit with the imaging unit.
Abstract:
Provided is a method capable of industrially producing optically active (S)-7-hydroxy-6-methylheptan-2-one and its precursor simply and efficiently. The production method, allows a R-body preferentially hydrolyzable Aspergillus microorganism-derived esterase to act on a 2-methyl-6-oxoheptanoate (II), to produce an optically active (S)-2-methyl-6-oxoheptanoate (III).
Abstract:
In a high-frequency switching module for use mainly in a communications apparatus and a high-frequency apparatus equipped with the same, the high-frequency switching module has a group of high-frequency terminals provided on the mounting side surface of a multi-layer assembly of which the lateral sides are formed as no-electrode provided sides excluding the high-frequency terminals. Thus, the high-frequency switching module and the high-frequency apparatus equipped with the same are less susceptible to the external effect.
Abstract:
An object of the present invention is to provide a living body measuring device which, once the personal information having been set therein, executes an arithmetic operation simply by making a measurement without requiring a user to remember his/her personal memory number. The living body measuring device of the present invention stores the measured body weight value and/or bioelectrical impedance value as well as the personal body information set in the initial stage, compares the measured values with those stored values, and determines a current subject who is being measured by considering the most proximal values to be the data associated with the measured subject, thereby calculating a body-related index automatically. Especially, if both of the bioelectrical impedance and the body weight are used, then the determination may be more accurate.
Abstract:
A band switching filter includes a resonator circuit having a surface acoustic wave resonator, a switching element and an impedance element. The filter selectively passes or attenuates a signal through one of two pass bands using a single filter. The resonant frequency of the resonator circuit can be shifted to another frequency by selectively connecting the surface acoustic wave resonator to an impedance element using a switching element.
