A nanostructure composed of a plurality of peptides, each peptide containing at least one aromatic amino acid, whereby one or more of these peptides is end-capping modified, is disclosed. The nanostructure can take a tubular, fibrillar, planar or spherical shape, and can encapsulate, entrap or be coated by other materials. Methods of preparing the nanostructure, and devices and methods utilizing same are also disclosed.

This invention relates generally to uses of novel nanomaterial composition and the systems in which they are used, and more particularly to nanomaterial compositions generally comprising carbon and a metal, which composition can be exposed to pulsed emissions to react, activate, combine, or sinter the nanomaterial composition. The nanomaterial compositions can alternatively be utilized at ambient temperature or under other means to cause such reaction, activation, combination, or sintering to occur.

A process cartridge detachably mountable to a main assembly of an electrophotographic image forming apparatus including an openable member movable between a closing position for n opening and an open position for the opening, a guiding member, a main assembly positioning portion, and a main assembly movable member movable in interrelation with the openable member, the cartridge includes an electrophotographic photosensitive member; process means actable on the photosensitive member; a cartridge positioning portion, engageable with the main assembly of the apparatus, for positioning the cartridge relative to the main assembly; a cartridge movable member movable by movement of the main assembly movable member, when the cartridge, upon mounting of the cartridge to the main assembly through the opening while being guided by the guiding member, stops at a position upstream, with respect to a cartridge mounting direction, of an image formation position where the cartridge positioning portion is engaged with the main assembly positioning portion, the cartridge movable member is moved by movement of the main assembly movable member to contact to the guiding member, by which the cartridge movable member receives, from the guiding member, a force for moving the process cartridge toward downstream with respect to the mounting direction.

In an image forming apparatus, a brush member is formed from a brush made from acrylic resin that has not been subjected to conductivity-enhancing processes. The brush member is attached to a conductive plate. A resistor is provided in series with the conductive plate and a fixed power source. The fixed power source applies a predetermined high voltage to the conductive plate.

A process cartridge includes a photoconductor driven by gears, a developing roller, an agitator. The process cartridge is mounted on an image forming apparatus that forms an image with toner. The process cartridge includes an air inlet and an air outlet on a side plate thereof. The gears are arranged along a path between the air inlet and the air outlet.

The present invention is directed to a process which comprises removing and stripping off part of the display panel in order to expose and connect the conductor lines on an electrode plate to a driver circuitry. More specifically the process involves (1) preparing a display panel having filled display cells sandwiched between a first and a second substrate layers, preferably by a roll-to-roll process; (2) removing part of a first substrate by asymmetrical cutting by, for example, a die, diamond, knife or laser cutting method to expose the layers underneath (which may include adhesive layer, primer layer, display cell layer and in the case of a display prepared by the microcup technology, the microcup layer and the sealing layer); and (3) stripping off the exposed layers by a stripping solvent or solution. After stripping, the conductor lines on the second substrate are exposed and ready for connection to the driver circuitry.

Stationery, or other printable media, is encoded with a digital watermark. The watermark is not conspicuous to a human observer of the media, yet conveys plural bits of auxiliary information when optically scanned and digitally processed. The watermark can be formed by ink-jet printing, or otherwise. The encoded information can be used for various purposes, including authenticating the document as an original, linking to associated on-line resources, and distinguishing seemingly-identical versions of the same document (document serialization).

A toner conveyer device for use in an image forming apparatus includes a toner conveyer belt that conveys waste toner, a screw member that receives the waste toner from the toner conveyer belt and conveys the waste toner to a housing unit, and a scraping member that scraps waste toner that adheres to the screw member.

To provide a toner recovery apparatus including: a toner transporting duct; and an endless toner transporting belt; wherein the toner transporting belt is rotated in a loop form in such a way that it descends in a region where the outer circumferential surface faces a ceiling surface of the toner transporting duct and that it rises in a region where the outer circumferential surface of the toner transporting belt faces a bottom surface of the toner transporting duct, the toner recovery apparatus transports the residual toner to the outlet by holding the toner by the convex parts, spaces formed between convex parts and the bottom surface of the toner transporting duct, and the toner comprises a binding resin, releasing agent, coloring material and external additive, and torque T (mNm) measured by torque measurement method using a conical rotor in a space ratio of 50% to 60% is 1.0 to 2.5.

An MPF (Multi Function Peripheral) obtains a BD address and a device name from a communication partner search response when it receives the communication partner search response from a cellular phone. When the MFP successfully obtains the BD address and the BD address is stored in a device management database in a RAM of the MFP, the MFP obtains a user name corresponding to the BD address from the device management database. The MFP obtains settings associated with the user name from an environment database in the RAM of the MFP and stores the same in an environment storage area in the RAM. A display process, etc. in the MFP are performed according to the settings stored in the environment storage area.

At a lower portion of a process cartridge, a first portion to be urged and a second portion to be urged are provided. To an image forming apparatus, a guide portion for slidably guiding the first portion to be urged and the second portion to be urged during mounting of the process cartridge in the image forming apparatus is provided. Further, to the guide portion is provided with a first hole and a second hole at two recessed portions with respect to a longitudinal and mounting direction of the process cartridge. At bottoms of the two recessed portions wherein the first hole and the second hole are provided, a first urging portion acting on the first portion to be urged and a second urging portion acting on the second portion to be urged are provided, respectively. The second portion to be urged has a dimension larger than that of the first hole with respect to the mounting direction.

A lubricant applying device includes: a solid lubricant; an applying member that applies lubricant powder scraped off from the solid lubricant to an application target; a holding member that holds the solid lubricant; a biasing unit that biases the holding member to bring the solid lubricant on the holding member into contact with the applying member; and a regulating unit that regulates, when a force of a direction orthogonal to an endless movement direction of the applying member is applied from the applying member to the solid lubricant at a frictional surface therebetween, movement of the solid lubricant and the holding member in the orthogonal direction.
