IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18304173 Titled 'IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an image forming apparatus that has two groups of heat generators. These heat generators produce electric currents that generate heat. The apparatus is controlled by a control unit. The waveform patterns of the electric currents in the two groups are different from each other at least one phase angle during a control period. The percentage of time during the control period when the phase control of the two groups coincides is 50% or less.
Original Abstract Submitted
A waveform pattern of an electric current running through a first heat generating group and a waveform pattern of an electric current of a second heat generating group, controlled by a control unit, in an image forming apparatus of the present invention are different from each other at at least one phase angle in one control period. The percentage of coincidence of a period of phase control of the first heat generating group and a period of phase control of the second heat generating group in the one control period is lower than or equal to 50%.
