This invention relates generally to an electrophotographic printing machine, and more particularly concerns an apparatus for regulating the developability of a development system employed therein.
In the process of electrophotographic printing, a charged photoconductive member is exposed to a light image of an original document being reproduced. The irradiated areas of the photoconductive surface are discharged to record thereon an electrostatic latent image corresponding to the original document. A development system moves a developer mix of carrier granules and toner particles into contact with the photoconductive surface. The toner particles are attracted electrostatically from the carrier granules to the latent image forming a toner powder image thereon. Thereafter, the toner powder image is transferred to a sheet of support material. After transferring the toner powder image to the sheetThe heavily indebted Dubai World is not guaranteed by the emirate's government, a top financial official from the city state said today, offering little direction to anxious investors on a day when the United Arab Emirates registered a record fall on the back of Dubai's debt mess.

On the first day of trading since news of Dubai World's debt crunch became public, Dubai's main stock exchange dropped more than 7 per cent while the Abu Dhabi exchange fell more than 8 per cent — the steepest fall in at least a year, according to brokers.

Driving the financial avalanche was Wednesday's announcement that conglomerate Dubai World would seek an at least six month reprieve on its $60 billion in debts, obligations amassed during years of a building spree that turned
