An image forming apparatus includes a photosensitive member, a charging member, an exposing unit to expose a surface of the photosensitive member, and a developing member to supply toner with normal polarity at a developing portion. A controller, during a non-image formation when a toner image is not formed on a surface of the photosensitive member, controls such that a developing voltage is changed in a predetermined voltage width by applying a first developing voltage while the area of the photosensitive member on which a first surface potential is formed passes through the developing portion and by applying a second developing potential of an opposite polarity side rather than the first developing voltage while the area of the photosensitive member on which a second surface potential is formed passes through the developing portion, and the controller controls such that the surface potential becomes a side of the normal polarity rather than the first developing voltage.

Image forming apparatus

An image forming apparatus includes an image bearing member, a charging member, a charging voltage applying portion, an exposure unit, a developing member, a developing voltage applying portion, a cleaning member, and a controller. During a non-image forming operation from a start of rotation of the image bearing member to a start of an image forming operation or from an end of the image forming operation to a stop of the rotation of the image bearing member, in a contact rotation state of the developing member with the image bearing member, the controller effects control so as to execute a supplying operation in which Vback lower or higher than Vback during an image forming operation is generated in a time corresponding to one full rotation of the developing member and toner moved from the developing member to the surface of the image bearing member is supplied to the cleaning portion.

In an image forming apparatus, rotation of an image bearing member is started and stopped in a contact state between the image bearing member and a developing member. During a post-rotation operation, a controller ends application of a charging voltage after changing the charging voltage stepwisely to first and second charging voltages. The controller ends application of a developing voltage after changing the developing voltage stepwisely at a developing position to first and second developing voltages in synchronism with the first and second charging voltages. A potential difference between each of surface potentials of first and second regions and an associated one of the first and second developing voltages is maintained within a predetermined range. The controller carries out control so that an absolute value of the surface potential of at least one of the first and second regions is made low by passing a current under application of a transfer voltage.

A column connection method of a liquid chromatograph and a liquid chromatograph capable of keeping a mistakenly installed column by an operator as an unused column are provided. The column connection method of the liquid chromatograph includes: a first step of installing a column at a column installation part and obtaining a first reading result by reading identification information of the column before connecting the column with an analysis flow path; and a second step of connecting the column with the analysis flow path and obtaining a second reading result by reading identification information of the column, in which the first reading result is compared with the second reading result to judge identity of the column.

An image pickup apparatus is configured to change a shooting process based on data on a shot image. The image pickup apparatus is configured to, when the image pickup apparatus changes the shooting process, assign greater weights to the data on the shot image based on an instruction from a user than to the data on the shot image automatically processed.

Image pickup apparatus and control method therefor

Provided is a manufacturing method of a flexographic printing plate, including a development step of subjecting a plate surface of a flexographic printing original plate including at least a support, a photosensitive resin composition layer, and an infrared ablation layer sequentially stacked to brushing with a brush while supplying an organic solvent-based developer to the plate surface, wherein the organic solvent-based developer includes 0.1% by mass or more and 10.0% by mass or less of a polymer gel.

Cartridge for clinical analyzer

An analysis apparatus column oven equipped with a plurality of columns is capable of efficiently performing heat conduction on column basis, recognizing a column cartridge that holds a column, and being easily exchanged on column basis. The column change mechanism includes a ferrule, a movable ferrule connector, a pipe, a fastener pull, a fastener fitting, a column cartridge presser, a slide guide, an RFID reader, a fixed wall, a column changer heat insulating member, a fixed bottom plate, a receiver, and a fixed fitting. A plurality of column cartridges can be installed in the heat block, and are in contact with the column heat block to control the temperature in the column cartridges. The column cartridge is fixed between left and right column change mechanisms, and when the fixed column cartridge is opened, the column change mechanism on the left side is moved leftward and opened.

An image forming apparatus includes a developer bearing member, a supply member, first and second voltage application units, and a control unit. Assuming that a difference between a voltage to be applied to the developer bearing member by the first voltage application unit and a voltage to be applied to the supply member by the second voltage application unit in the image forming operation is defined as a first supply contrast, and a difference between the voltage to be applied to the developer bearing member by the first voltage application unit and the voltage to be applied to the supply member by the second voltage application unit in the preliminary rotation operation is defined as a second supply contrast, the control unit controls the second supply contrast to be less than the first supply contrast or to have polarity reversed from polarity of the first supply contrast.
