摘要:
In a method for producing PLZT powder, the A-site components are co-precipitated simultaneously and mixed with the B-site components which are also co-precipitated simultaneously. As a result, the powder obtained by calcination of the precipitates has less fluctuation in the chemical composition compared with the prior art.

A sintered non-oxide ceramic composite high in density, high-temperature strength and toughness and having optionally and widely changeable electrical conductivity is obtained by compacting and sintering a mixed powder comprising 5-95% by weight of at least one compound selected from titanium carbide, nitride and carbonitride, 0.1-5% by weight (based on silicon carbide) of boron or boron compound in terms of boron, 0.1-5% by weight (based on silicon carbide) of carbon or carbon compound in terms of residual carbon and the balance of substantially silicon carbide.

Disclosed is a ceramic composite consisting essentially of hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), aluminum nitride and, if any, unavoidably formed aluminum oxynitride (AlON), and a sintering aid and/or a reaction product of the sintering aid with the above-mentioned components (h-BN, AlN and AlON), in which the total amount of the sintering aid and the reaction product is 0.01 to 5 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the sum of h-BN, AlN and AlON. This sintered body comprises AlN and AlON in a total amount of 45 to 5% by weight with 55 to 95% by weight of h-BN. Alternatively, this sintered body comprises AlN and AlON in a total amount of 80 to 5% by weight with 20 to 95% by weight of h-BN, the degree of anisotropy of the thermal conductivity of the sintered body (the ratio of the maximum thermal conductivity to the minimum thermal conductivity, the direction of the maximum thermal conductivity being perpendicular to the direction of the minimum thermal conductivity) being at least 2.

An inclination detecting device includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to detect, in image information that is an image of an object imaged by an imaging device at an imaging position where a background member forms a background, a first boundary between the background member and a shadow of the object at detection positions in at least one of main-scanning and sub-scanning directions on an outline of the object; detect a second boundary between the object and the shadow of the object at detection positions in at least one of the main-scanning and sub-scanning directions on the outline of the object in the image information; detect a boundary group including detection results of the second boundary at the detection positions; and detect an inclination of the object in the image information from detection results of the first boundary, the second boundary, and the boundary group.

An image reading apparatus includes: a transmitting glass; and a step member that is located upstream of a reading position, at which an image of a conveyed document is read by a reading unit via a transmitting glass, in a conveying direction of the document, and has a document guiding surface at a position away from a surface of a transmitting glass by a prescribed distance and forms a step between the document guiding surface and the transmitting glass. The step member is provided with a protrusion protruding downstream in the conveying direction of the document to form space between the transmitting glass and a downstream part of the step member in the conveying direction of the document.

According to an embodiment, an ADF that feeds and conveys original document sheets one sheet by one sheet from a tray unit to a read position on a document glass by motive power from a driving motor includes: an opening/closing unit operable to open and close relative to the document glass; an open/close detection sensor that detects an open/closed state of the opening/closing unit; a first interlock switch, which is arranged between a power source and the driving motor, that is on when the opening/closing unit is closed, and vice versa; and a control circuit that determines the open/closed state of the opening/closing unit based on detection outputs of the first interlock switch and the open/close detection sensor. The control circuit determines that the opening/closing unit is in the closed state when the first interlock switch is on and the open/close detection sensor is detecting the closed state.

A wireless communication system includes a transmission device including plural transmission antennas and a receiving device including plural reception antennas. The transmission device includes a branching unit that branches a signal into plural transmission signals respectively passing plural signal lines each corresponding to each of the transmission antennas and delay units provided on at least one of the signal lines to apply a delay to the transmission signal. When a transmission signal branched by the branching unit is applied with a delay by the delay units, the transmission device sets the transmission signal on which the delay is applied as the transmission signal, and transmits the transmission signals to the receiving device via the transmission antennas. The receiving device includes delay units provided on at least one of plural signal lines that respectively pass plural reception signals received at the reception antennas to apply a delay to the reception signal and a combining unit that sets the reception signal on which the delay is applied as the reception signal, and combines the reception signals.

A sheet conveying device includes: a sheet housing unit that houses a sheet; a sheet conveying unit that conveys the sheet; a sheet detection unit that detects presence or absence of the sheet in the sheet housing unit; a sheet nipping unit that nips the sheet housed in the sheet housing unit; and a control unit. The control unit controls the sheet nipping unit to reach a nipping state to nip the sheet in the sheet housing unit upon the sheet detection unit detecting a sheet-present state, executes a power saving mode to stop supplying power to at least a part of the electric mechanisms when no drive command is input for a predetermined time, and controls the sheet nipping unit to cancel the nipping state before execution of the power saving mode.
