Title: Shingo Harada: Innovator in Information Processing and Image Forming Technologies

Introduction

Shingo Harada is a prominent inventor based in Suntou-gun, Japan. He has made significant contributions to the fields of information processing and image forming technologies. With a total of 7 patents to his name, Harada's work has had a considerable impact on the industry.

Latest Patents

Harada's latest patents include an information processing method, an information processing program, an information processing apparatus, and an image forming apparatus. The information processing method involves steps for an information processing apparatus to communicate with an image forming apparatus that has first and second sheet output sections. The second sheet output section can be switched between a closed position, which guides a sheet to the first sheet output section, and an open position, which allows the sheet to stack. This method inputs a type of sheet, acquires information indicating whether the second sheet output section is in an open or closed state, and transmits image information to the image forming apparatus. When the sheet type recommends outputting to the second sheet output section and it is in the closed state, a message prompts the user to switch the second sheet output section to the open position before transmitting the image information.

Additionally, his image-forming apparatus patent focuses on controlling the intermediate transfer belt driving speed. This apparatus includes a photosensitive drum, a development member, an intermediate transfer belt, a transfer member, a transfer voltage, a density detection unit, a temperature detection unit, and a control unit. The development member forms a toner image on the photosensitive drum, which the transfer member then transfers to the intermediate transfer belt. The density detection unit detects information related to the density of the toner image transferred to the intermediate transfer belt. The control unit adjusts the driving speed of the intermediate transfer belt based on the ambient temperature detected by the temperature detection unit during the detection operation.
