An image generation apparatus includes an image processor and a detector. The image processor generates a composite image viewed from at least one virtual viewpoint, and outputs the generated composite image to a display. The detector detects an indication of a driver intention to drive the host vehicle to a right or to a left relative to a travelling direction of the host vehicle. The image processor generates the composite image viewed from a virtual viewpoint located in front of the host vehicle in the travelling direction, the composite image showing a lateral surface of the host vehicle on a side corresponding to the detected indication of the driver intention. Thus, it is possible to make it easier to check a situation at a time of a right turn, a left turn, or a travelling direction change.

Image generation apparatus

A conveyor apparatus includes an endless conveyor belt wound around outgoing path side guide pulleys in turn along a helical conveyance path in a bent state where the belt is folded in two in a width direction such that an upper edge portion thereof is supported by the outgoing path side guide pulleys, and wound around returning path side guide pulleys in turn along the helical conveyance path in the bent state where the belt is folded in two in the width direction such that the upper edge portion is supported by the returning path side guide pulleys, and folded back at each turning positions of a horizontal conveyance unit located at an upper side and a horizontal conveyance unit located at a lower side of the support frame and being in an expanded state where the belt expanded in the width direction in a vicinity of the turning position.

Conveyor apparatus

A vehicle-mounted device that is capable of attaching and detaching a portable device including a rechargeable battery, and supplies an electric power to the portable device in a attachment state where the portable device is attached, the electronic device characterized by comprising: a controller that confirms completion of the operation of the portable device when a power source of the electronic device is turned off in the attachment state; and a voltage converting device that stops supplying the electric power to the portable device after the confirmation by the controller.

Electronic device and electronic system

This invention relates to an image forming apparatus having, on the upper surface of an apparatus main body, an operating section which is divided into an operating surface unit in which the angle of an operating surface with respect to a horizontal plane can be changed, and an operating section external unit formed outside the operating surface unit and including at least an upper-surface corner end of the apparatus main body. The apparatus includes an angle holding member for holding the angle of the operating surface with respect to the horizontal plane, a plurality of locking portions formed on the apparatus main body, and a plurality of locking target portions which are formed on the angle holding member and the operating surface unit and which can respectively be locked by the plurality of locking portions. Either the locking target portion provided to the angle holding member or the locking target portion provided to the operating surface unit is selectively locked by the locking portion of the apparatus main body in order to support the operating surface unit with the apparatus main body such that the operating surface of the operating surface unit is held at a plurality of angles with respect to the horizontal plane.

Image forming apparatus with an adjustable, lockable operating surface

In an image reading device having the reading function of a moving original exposure type to read an original document which is moving on the surface of a glass plate for slit exposure by an exposure unit standing still at a specified position under the glass plate for slit exposure, and the reading function of a moving optical system exposure type to read an image of an original document placed on a document base glass plate by moving the exposure unit under the document base glass plate, there is provided a cleaning device for cleaning the rear side of the glass plate for slit exposure.

Image reading device and image forming apparatus equipped therewith

An optical deflection device includes: a rotor having reflection surfaces on a cirumferential surface thereof; a bearing for rotatably supporting the rotor; a magnet fixed on the rotor; a supporting member for supporting the bearing, on which a radiating fin is integrally formed; and a coil fixed on the supporting member at a position where the coil faces the magnet for forming a magnetic field.

Optical deflection device and image forming apparatus therewith

This invention discloses a developing apparatus wherein a brush of a developing agent is formed on a developing sleeve by a magnetic field of a permanent magnet disposed inside the developing sleeve, and at least the developing sleeve is rotated while the brush is kept in contact with a photosensitive body, thereby developing an electrostatic latent image formed on the photosensitive body. In this apparatus, an agitating member having magnetic ring portions which abut against the developing sleeve and an agitating portion for agitating the developing agent is pivotally disposed in a developing vessel to be parallel to the developing sleeve, and a rotation detecting unit for outputting a signal corresponding to a rotational speed of the agitating member and a residual amount detecting unit for detecting a residual amount of the developing agent in the developing vessel in accordance with an output from the rotation detecting unit are provided.
