Title: Tomoyuki Nakano: Innovator in Electrophotographic Technology
Introduction
Tomoyuki Nakano is a notable inventor based in Kita-ku, Japan. He has made significant contributions to the field of electrophotographic technology, holding a total of 4 patents. His innovative work focuses on enhancing the performance and efficiency of various devices and materials.
Latest Patents
One of Nakano's latest patents is an igniter and gas generator. This invention provides an igniter and a gas generator that suppresses inhibition of fire transfer to an enhance agent by adjusting the elongation of a cup-shaped member at the time of activation while maintaining sealability and insulation. The disk-type gas generator features a short, substantially cylindrical housing, which accommodates various internal components, including a holder, an igniter with a squib cover, and a gas generating agent. The squib cover is molded from a thermosetting or thermoplastic resin, designed to set an elongation percentage at the time of activation of the igniter to be greater than 0% and less than 10%.
Another significant patent is for electrophotographic transfer paper. This invention involves a coating layer with a pigment and an adhesive agent applied to at least one side of the base paper. The adhesive contains a branched poly(meth)acrylamide copolymer with cationic and/or anionic groups, boasting a weight average molecular weight of 50,000 to 1,000,000. This electrophotographic transfer paper demonstrates superior high-speed throughput performance despite its low basis weight and coating weight, making it ideal for high-speed copy machines and printers.
