Hiroshi No

Title: Hiroshi No: Inventor in Image-Forming Technology.

Introduction

Hiroshi No is an inventor based in Kanagawa, Japan. His work includes inventions for image-forming equipment, and he is associated with Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd. His patent portfolio includes 7 patents.

Latest Patents

No’s recent patent work includes an exposure device designed to expose a rotating image-holding member to light. The device uses light-emitting elements arranged along the member’s axial direction, a predetermined-mass weight, and an elastic portion that supports the weight so it can vibrate. The design brings together exposure and vibration-control components in a single device.

Another recent invention is a muffling member for an image-forming apparatus. It includes a substantially hollow cylindrical thermoplastic member placed inside a photoconductor drum. A slit-shaped opening and a wider second opening are formed in the member, with the second opening positioned along the slit. This configuration is intended to reduce noise in the apparatus.
