With a total of 3 patents to his name, Nishitsuji's work has had a considerable impact on the efficiency and functionality of imaging devices.

Latest Patents

One of his latest patents is for a digital copier with memory occupancy calculation. This innovation allows the copier to check a memory change flag to determine whether to calculate the occupancy of the memory. If the flag is set, the occupancy is calculated and sent to a system controller. Users can easily grasp reference amounts, such as the amount corresponding to a single sheet of A4 paper, which can be entered on an operation and display panel. The occupancy of the memory is then displayed based on these reference amounts, ensuring that the image data stored in the memory is not destroyed during operation.

Another significant patent is a device for displaying the warm-up waiting time of an image forming apparatus. This device calculates the necessary waiting time for the warm-up of the apparatus by determining the elevation rate of the fixing temperature within a predetermined time interval. It produces a difference between the current temperature of the fixing unit and the set fixing temperature, allowing for accurate waiting time estimation based on ambient conditions.
