Image forming devices

Oil-less type of image forming devices have been developed that do not use release oil in the fixing device. Instead of using release oil, a release agent like wax is added in large amounts within the toner formulation. 

Dry developers suitable for use in image forming devices are roughly classified into (53) ... 

A planar microlens was invented for the purpose of constructing two-dimensional lightwave components. A huge number of microlenses of 0.1-2 mm in diameter can be arranged two-dimensionally in one substrate, and their position is determined by the precision of the photomasks. The applications to lightwave components and multi-image forming devices are considered. 

The impulse or drop-on-demand ink jet is a system of fundamental simplicity. It differs from continuous ink jet systems in two aspects (1) The image-forming ink droplets are not charged, so no deflection device is involved (2) Electrical signals are only used to control the moment when an individual droplet is needed. 

Image intensification is the method used for the devices termed night-vision scopes, which exist in a variety of forms that can mounted on weapons or vehicles or worn as goggles by an individual. Image-intensification devices have been used by technologically advanced mil-...
