Abstract:
In a toner production process having at least a kneading step, a pulverization step and the step of simultaneously carrying out a surface modification step and a classification step to obtain toner particles, the surface modification and the classification are simultaneously carried out using a batch-wise surface modifying apparatus having at least a cylindrical main-body casing, a classifying rotor, a surface modifying means having a dispersing rotor and a liner. The positional relationship between the dispersing rotor and the liner is set in an appropriate specific state so that toner particles having a sharp particle size distribution with less fine powder and having a high sphericity can be obtained in a good efficiency.

Abstract:
A DC/DC converter includes a main switching element and a subordinate switching element, and is arranged to supply power to load via a coil. The ON-time of a subordinate switching element in a succeeding cycle is controlled based on a period of time tdif from the time when the subordinate switching element is turned off until the time when voltage at the point of connection of the two switching elements reaches a predetermined threshold value.

In a phase compensation circuit having a resistance connected to the output side of an error amplifier, a capacitor, and a conductance amplifier functioning as a capacitance amplifier circuit, capacitance is amplified by the conductance amplifier and used, whereby an essentially required capacitance is ensured, even when the capacitance of the capacitor is small.
Abstract:
A stabilized power supply circuit includes a charge pump power supply circuit including four switching elements and a capacitor, and an error amplifier comparing the output voltage of the charge pump power supply circuit and a reference voltage and outputting an error signal on the basis of the difference therebetween. A current source is connected in series to the gate of a switching element formed of a MOSFET. The period during which electric charge is discharged from the gate is controlled in accordance with the error signal in order to maintain the output voltage constant.
