MOISTURE DETECTING APPARATUS FOR RECORDING MATERIAL AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18378719 titled 'MOISTURE DETECTING APPARATUS FOR RECORDING MATERIAL AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a detecting apparatus that includes two light emitting elements and a light receiving unit. The light emitting elements emit light onto a recording material, and the light receiving unit receives the light transmitted through the recording material. The apparatus also includes a rotation member that rotates and presses the recording material against a conveyance guide.
Key points of the patent/innovation:
- The apparatus uses two light emitting elements to emit light onto a recording material.
- A rotation member is used to rotate and press the recording material against a conveyance guide.
- The light receiving unit receives the light transmitted through the recording material.
- The first light path connecting the first light emitting element and the light receiving unit, and the second light path connecting the second light emitting element and the light receiving unit overlap with the cylindrical member.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Document scanning: The apparatus can be used to scan documents by emitting light onto the document and capturing the transmitted light.
- Quality control: The apparatus can be used to detect defects or abnormalities in materials by analyzing the transmitted light.
- Security systems: The apparatus can be used in security systems to detect counterfeit or altered documents by analyzing the transmitted light.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Efficient detection: The use of two light emitting elements and a rotation member allows for efficient detection of light transmitted through the recording material.
- Accurate scanning: The apparatus ensures accurate scanning of documents by pressing the recording material against a conveyance guide.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved scanning speed: The use of two light emitting elements and a rotation member allows for faster scanning of documents.
- Enhanced detection accuracy: The apparatus ensures accurate detection of light transmitted through the recording material, leading to more reliable results.
- Versatile applications: The technology can be applied in various fields such as document scanning, quality control, and security systems.
Original Abstract Submitted
A detecting apparatus includes first and second light emitting elements configured to emit light on a recording material, and a light receiving unit configured to receive the light transmitted through the recording material. The apparatus also includes a rotation member configured to rotate and press the recording material, on which the first light and the second light is emitted, against a conveyance guide for guiding the recording material. As viewed in a rotational axis direction of the rotation member, a first light path connecting the first light emitting element with the light receiving unit and a second light path connecting the second light emitting element with the light receiving unit overlap with the cylindrical member.
