Charging system utilizing grid elements with differentiated patterns

TL;DR: An ion analysis system to measure ion energy distribution at several points during a process of manufacturing a semiconductor circuit includes at least two ion flux sensors (397) combined in a single system as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, a single corona generator was used to charge a small radius moving surface to a desired surface voltage with a single screen grid having a first bias voltage, and then a second screen grid with a second bias voltage.

TL;DR: In this article, a variable panel assembly is described, which is comprised of a plurality of panels and links where by rotating one or more links, the assembly shifts between a largely uncovered configuration to a covered configuration, where in the first configuration the panel profiles are essentially aligned, and in the second configuration the panels profiles are offset relative to one another.

TL;DR: In this article, a charging device is provided, which includes a charging section and a discharge product adsorption removal section, which is displaceable about an axial line of the rotation shaft from a position where the shield opening opposes to the photoreceptor to a position that the shield opens oppose to the discharge product.

TL;DR: In this article, a system for a multifunctional printing system which controls a manner in which status message sets are displayed on a display screen of a corresponding user interface is described, where a message manager determines whether a replacement operation has occurred with respect to the user interface such that a substantial portion of the first service attribute designating information set has been replaced visually by the second attribute designation information set.

TL;DR: In this paper, a corona device comprising either a corotron or a scorotron for charging a surface is comprised of at least first and second complementary, interlocking pin array support members, at least one pin array member having integral pin projections and a power source extension member for connection to a high voltage power supply supported on and between the pin arrays.

TL;DR: In this paper, an image forming apparatus having an electrostatic latent image carrier, and a charging device which includes an electric discharge electrode having a plurality of projection and a grid electrode located between the electric discharge and the surface of the EIA, satisfy the following relationship: 1.5−Ig/Ip≦4.

TL;DR: In this paper, a charge scorotron with a U-shaped shield opposite a photoreceptor, a corona discharge wire in the shield, a grid between the wire and the photoreceptors for controlling the emission of ions to the photoresceptor, the grid being electrically subdivided into a first grid segment with a length substantially equal to the dimension of the smallest size copy sheet with subsequent grid segments having lengths chosen when combined with the first grid segments and each other to substantially equal various larger size copy sheets, switches responsive to the position of an adjustable sheet guide in
