According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, provided is a learning system that updates a parameter for a neural network, the learning system including: a plurality of differential value calculators; and a parameter update module.

Learning system and learning method

Even when a cell electrode plate with broader width is press formed to enhance bulk density of electrode active material, it is made possible to positively and reliably provide a high-quality cell electrode plate with good productivity. From upstream to downstream in a travel direction of a cell electrode plate including a core member with electrode active material applied thereon, an uncoiler, a tension applicator, a four-high mill type roll press device, a thickness detector, a tension applicator and a coiler are arranged in the order named.

Facility for forming cell electrode plate

A bearing mechanism includes a shaft for guiding a reciprocable carriage; a bearing mounted on the carriage and slidable relative to the shaft; a receiving member extending from the bearing to receive lubricant oil removed by the sliding movement between the shaft and the bearing; and a lubricant oil passage formed in the bearing to connect the receiving member and a portion between the shaft and the bearing.

Bearing mechanism and ink jet recording apparatus having same

An ink jet recording apparatus comprises a mounting portion on which an ink jet cartridge is detachably mounted, the cartridge having a connector and a recording head portion for discharging ink to perform image recording. The mounting portion has a body connector associated therewith for electrically connecting the connector of the cartridge to the apparatus. A recording head positioner positions the recording head portion of the cartridge on the mounting portion. An operation device displaces the cartridge and the body connector relative to each other to connect the body connector to the cartridge connector.

Ink jet cartridge mounting device and method

The present invention relates to a cartridge having a liquid discharger removably mounted onto a main body of a liquid jet recording apparatus. The cartridge comprises a humidifier for humidifying a liquid discharging portion of the liquid discharger, an input member for receiving delivery of an actuating force for actuating the humidifier, an electric contact member for receiving an electric signal actuating the liquid discharger, and a box member for containing the humidifier, input member and electric member.

Apparatus for casting metal strip in which molten metal is introduced between a pair of parallel casting rollers (16) via a tundish (18) and metal delivery nozzle (19). Casting rollers (16) are cooled so that shells solidify on the moving roller surfaces and are brought together at the nip between them to produce a solidified strip product (20) at the roller outlet. The tundish (18), delivery nozzle (19) and a pair of side closure plates (56) to confine the pool of metal on the casting rollers are separately preheated to working temperature and then rapidly brought into an operative assembly and casting is started before detrimental uneven or localized cooling of the preheated components can develop. To this end the casting rollers are mounted on a carriage (13) movable between a first station (14) at which the preheated components are fitted and a second station (15) at which casting is carried out.

Strip casting

This invention concerns a sintered article for a sheath in an apparatus for continuous casting of a thin sheet and a sheath using the sintered article. The sintered article comprises boron nitride, zirconium oxide, and at least one member selected from the group consisting of aluminum nitride and aluminum borate and combines resistance to thermal shock, lubricity, and strength. The sheath is formed of the sintered article and, therefore, enjoys the prominent properties of the sintered article.

The present invention provides a recording apparatus with a supply roller for supplying a sheet, a sheet directing path for directing the sheet supplied by the supply roller to a recording portion, a sheet ejection path for directing the sheet recorded at the recording portion to an ejection outlet, a guide for guiding a sheet to be introduced from the ejection outlet, and sheet feeding rollers and detectors for directing the introduced sheet to the recording portion through the sheet ejection path and thereafter for returning the sheet to the ejection outlet.

There is provided an image forming apparatus such as a copying apparatus having a sensor to detect the front edge of an original and a sensor to detect the front edge of a paper onto which a copy image of the original is formed, in which the copying operation is started in accordance with the result of the detections by both sensors. A distance which is obtained by adding a distance from an exposing position of a photosensitive drum and a distance from an original feed roller to an exposing position is equalized to a distance from the copy transfer position of the photosensitive drum to a paper feed roller. If such distances differ, the feeding timing of the original or paper is delayed in accordance with the difference between those distances. Thus, the cheap and small copying apparatus can be realized without using an expensive control system such as a registration roller.

Copying apparatus having detectors for detecting the presence of an

The present invention provides an image forming unit which can be shifted within an image forming apparatus having an original support plate to perform an image forming operation, and which can also perform the image forming operation in combination with other device even when it is removed from the image forming apparatus, and which has multi-function and is compact.

A twin-roll type continuous casting machine for fabricating a metal sheet from molten metal supplied from a ladle comprises a pair of spaced rolls, side weirs disposed on each roll in the lateral direction of the roll, a tundish for reserving the molten metal and supplying the molten metal through a feeder, which is provided above the rolls and below the tundish, to form a melt pool on the upper side of the gap between the rolls so as to fabricate the metal sheet through the gap between the rolls, a pressurizing chamber formed between the rolls and the tundish for gas-pressurizing the melt surface of the melt pool. The arrangement allows the ladle to easily supply the molten metal to the tundish and ensures easy maintenance of the tundish.

Twin-roll type continuous casting machine

The present invention relates to a process cartridge removably mountable on an image forming apparatus comprising a support, a rotary member having an image bearing surface and rotatably supported by the support, and a rotatable developing roller supported by the support, for carrying developer thereon and supplying the developer to the image bearing surface to develop a latent image formed on the image bearing surface. A first gear is arranged coaxial with the rotary member, a second gear is arranged coaxial with the developing roller and meshed with the first gear, and a guide means is provided for guiding the developing roller in a direction toward and away from the rotary member. The direction in which the developing roller is guided by the guide means is inclined with respect to a straight line connecting the center of rotation of the rotary member to the center of rotation of the developing roller, by an angle between 0.7.times..THETA. (.THETA. is a pressure angle of the second gear) and 1.3.times..THETA.. The cartridge further includes a bias means for biasing the developing roller toward the image bearing surface.

Process cartridge and image forming apparatus using same

A process kit includes a support member having a photosensitive member integrally mounted thereon together with process elements for acting on the photosensitive member. The support member is mountable on and removable from a main image forming apparatus having an optical system for projecting an image onto the photosensitive member. The support member has a positioning element for engaging the optical system in order to position the optical system accurately with respect to the photosensitive member. This configuration permits sharply formed images to be formed on the photosensitive member after removal and remounting of the process kit.
