A detection device of the present invention includes a temperature sensor configured to detect a temperature of an eardrum of a human, a supporting member including a columnar portion, to a distal end of which the temperature sensor is attached, a cover that covers the temperature sensor, and a heat shrinkable tube that adheres tightly to a peripheral wall of the cover and a side surface of the columnar portion in a state in which the heat shrinkable tube is shrunk after being heated.

Cover structure, detection device, and method for manufacturing detection device

A label forming method includes while transporting a base sheet having a print surface by a first transportation mechanism, forming a first pattern on the print surface and forming a marker at a prescribed position on the print surface; transporting the base sheet to a second transportation mechanism, the base sheet being transported by the first transportation mechanism and with the first pattern and the marker formed thereon; detecting a position of the marker on the base sheet; determining a position of the first pattern based on the prescribed position on the print surface and the detected marker position; deriving a position to form a second pattern according to the determined position of the first pattern; and while transporting the base sheet by the second transportation mechanism, forming a second pattern at the derived position.

Label forming apparatus and label forming method

An image forming apparatus includes a unit arranging portion that is provided with a unit containing a powder tank; a determination unit that determines the unit provided in the unit arranging portion; and a control unit that supplies a recording medium from a first sheet feeding portion in a case where the determination unit determines that the unit provided in the unit arranging portion is a unit corresponding to a binder toner, and supplies the recording medium from a second sheet feeding portion different from the first sheet feeding portion in a case where the determination unit determines that the unit provided in the unit arranging portion is a unit corresponding to a toner of a predetermined color.

Print sheet creating apparatus and print sheet creating method

A toner for a thermal transfer printing sheet is advantageous in terms of a fixing property to a release sheet, durability against deformation upon cooling, and a property of holding an image-forming toner, in addition to grindability and chargeability of the toner. The toner for a thermal transfer printing sheet is characterized by comprising a negative-charged crystalline polyester resin, wherein the toner has an average particle size D50 (volume) of 20 to 50 &#x3bc;m.

Toner for thermal transfer printing sheet, thermal transfer printing sheet, and production method thereof

A label forming apparatus includes a film forming device and a printer. The film forming device includes a transportation mechanism that transports a base sheet having a print surface, a storage unit that stores a position of the film based on prescribed positions of markers, a film forming unit that forms the film on the print surface, and a marker forming unit that forms the markers at the prescribed marker positions on the print surface. The printer includes a marker position detector provided on the downstream side of the film forming device to detect the markers, an image layer forming unit provided on the downstream side of the marker position detector to form an image layer on the film, and a second controller coupled with the marker position detector and the image layer forming unit to form the image layer on the film by controlling the image layer forming unit.

A peeling sheet supply unit is formed along an endless belt and is configured to supply a peeling sheet having a peeling surface on the endless belt. A first resin sheet transfer device is provided at a downstream side of the peeling sheet supply unit, and is configured to form a resin sheet by transferring a thermoplastic toner to a first region of the peeling sheet. A second resin sheet transfer device is provided at a downstream side of the first resin sheet transfer device and is configured to form a resin sheet by transferring a thermoplastic toner to a second region of the peeling sheet, the second region having a region different from a region overlapped with the first region.

Resin sheet manufacturing apparatus and resin sheet manufacturing method

This invention provides a label forming apparatus including a release sheet having a release surface from which an adhered adhesive material is releasable, an adhesive material layer stacked on the release surface of the release sheet, a coat layer stacked on a surface of the adhesive material layer opposite to the release sheet, a label portion having a thermoplastic resin secured to a surface of the coat layer opposite to the adhesive material layer, and an edging portion provided on a surface of the coat layer opposite to the adhesive material layer and having a thermoplastic resin secured to a position spaced apart from the label portion so as to surround the label portion.

Method of label formation

An apparatus for cleaning an endless belt, on both side end portions of the inner peripheral surface of which a pair of belt-shaped side stoppers are provided, includes a blade pressed against the outer peripheral surface of the belt and a backup roller. At both side end surfaces of the roller, assistant support rollers are provided to support the both side stoppers to prevent the both side end portions of the belt from moving inward to separate from the blade by a pressure applied from the blade. An image forming apparatus having such a belt cleaning apparatus includes a plurality of image carrying bodies arranged side by side along the belt, a plurality of toner image developer for developing images on the carrying bodies by toner, and a plurality of transfer units for transferring the developed toner images on the image carrying bodies to a paper sheet transferred by the belt.

Belt cleaning apparatus and image forming apparatus using the same

An image forming apparatus includes an image carrier which is rotated in a predetermined direction, a brush charger which charges a surface of the carrier, an exposure unit which forms an electrostatic latent image on the charged surface of the carrier in accordance with image information supplied thereto, a developer which develops the electrostatic latent image with a toner, and a transfer unit which transfers a toner image from the surface of the carrier onto a transfer medium supplied thereto. The image carrier includes a conductive main body, an undercoat having a predetermined electric resistance higher than that of the main body, and a photosensitive layer, which is formed on the undercoat, and on which an electrostatic latent image is formed by the exposure unit after charging is performed by the charger. The charger includes a main body constituted by bristles consisting of conductive fibers having electric resistance within the range from about 10.sup.6 to about 10.sup.9 .OMEGA./cm, a conductive base cloth, which has an electric resistance lower than that of each of the brush bristles, and on which the bristles are furnished, and a base member to which the base cloth is fixed, and a voltage applying unit for applying a predetermined voltage to the base cloth. And, the bristles contact the photosensitive layer of the carrier by a predetermined length.
