Abstract:
Provided is a nitrogen-containing amorphous carbon film exhibiting excellent durability even when formed on the surface of a sliding member used under high surface pressure or under a lubricating oil environment. The nitrogen-containing amorphous carbon film is formed by physical evaporation onto the sliding surface of a sliding member and contains 8.0 to 12.0 atomic % of hydrogen and 3.0 to 14.0 atomic % of nitrogen. The nitrogen-containing amorphous carbon film is effective when, for instance, formed on at least one sliding surface of a sliding member, such as a sliding part of an automobile engine.

There is described an image forming system, which confirms a finished state of an image at any time during the implementation of the image forming job as needed. The system includes: an image forming section to respectively form images on recording materials; a stacking section to stack the recording materials continuously ejected from the image forming section; an instruction inputting section from which an operator inputs instruction information; an ejecting section to stack a part of the recording materials in such a manner that the operator can pick up stacked recording materials by hand; a controlling section to conduct controlling operations in response to the instruction information, inputted from the instruction inputting section during an implementation of an image forming job including an operation for stacking the recording materials ejected from the image forming section, in order to eject the part of the recording materials onto the ejecting section.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a transparent electroconductive oxide layer having a high transmittance and a high electroconductivity and further a thin-film photoelectric converter having a high photoelectric conversion efficiency by applying the transparent electroconductive oxide layer to a transparent electrode layer of a photoelectric converter. The transparent electroconductive oxide layer in the present invention is deposited on a transparent substrate with a first and a second impurities contained in the transparent electroconductive oxide layer, especially in the vicinity of a surface of the layer in a higher concentration, and carbon atoms contained in the vicinity of the surface of the layer, thereby achieving a high transmittance and a high electroconductivity simultaneously and thus solving the problem.
Abstract:
A sheet supplying device, including a sheet accommodating section which accommodates recording sheets, and is removable from a main body of the sheet supplying device, a locking section which locks the sheet accommodating section within the main body, not to draw out the sheet accommodating section from the main body, a suction conveying section which vacuums the recording sheet accommodated in the sheet accommodating section and conveys the recording sheet, and a suction detecting section which detects the recording sheet vacuumed by the suction conveying section, wherein when the suction conveying section has supplied the recording sheet, if the suction detecting sensor detects the recording sheet, the locking section locks the sheet accommodating section within the main body of the sheet supplying device, and if it does not detect the recording sheet, the locking section releases the sheet accommodating section from the main body.

Abstract:
A solid fuel burner and its combustion method suited for encouraging fuel ignition and avoiding slugging caused by combustion ash, wherein a gas of low oxygen concentration (exhaust combustion gas) is used as a carrier gas of such a low grade solid fuel as brown coal. An additional air nozzle for jetting additional air having a velocity component in the circumferential direction of a fuel nozzle is provided in the fuel nozzle, thereby encouraging mixing between the fuel and air in the fuel nozzle. Further, the amount of air supplied from the additional air nozzle is adjusted in response to the difference in combustion loads. Under light load, the amount of air supplied from the additional air nozzle is increased so as to increase the oxygen concentration of the circulating flow formed downstream of the outside of the outlet of the fuel nozzle, whereby stable combustion is ensured. Under heavy load, by contrast, the amount of air supplied from the additional air nozzle is decreased, and a flame is formed away from the fuel nozzle in such a way that burner structures and furnace wall will be less subjected to radiant heat.
