Provided is an optical relay system (10) which is capable of suppressing wasteful power consumption of an entire system to a low level. The optical relay system (10) includes a plurality of relay devices (30) and a network control device (20). The network control device (20) causes an optical signal to be regenerated by a regenerative repeater (35) within the relay device (30) existing at an upstream of the relay device (30) reporting that the optical signal has deteriorated by a degree exceeding a predetermined level. Further, the network control device (20) causes the regenerative repeater (35) to stop regenerating the signal in a case where deterioration of the signal remains within an allowable range even when the regenerative repeater (35) stops regenerating the signal.

A battery connection detecting device includes a connecting unit, to which a battery is connected, a voltage detecting unit that detects a voltage value of the connecting unit, the voltage value detected by the voltage detecting unit being a detection voltage value, a switching unit that switches supply of charging power to the battery connected to the connecting unit based on the detection voltage value, and a connection detecting unit that compares at least one predetermined voltage value with at least one of the detection voltage value before the switching unit switches the supply of the charging power and the detection voltage value after the switching unit switches the supply of the charging power in order to detect whether or not the battery is connected to the connecting unit.

An image scanning device includes a first scanner scanning a top side of a transported document at a first scanning position to obtain a first scanned image, a second scanner scanning the back side of the transported document at a second scanning position to obtain a second scanned image, a document feeder transporting a document at the second scanning position at a speed differing from the transportation speed at the first scanning position, and a controller controlling the image scanning device. The controller sets, as a scanning form of a document, either one-side scanning of scanning one side of a document through one transportation, or dual-side scanning of scanning both sides of a document through one transportation. The controller also obtains a set magnification. The controller determines the transportation speed by the document feeder such that, when one-side scanning is set, the scanning magnification in a first direction corresponding to the document transportation direction at the first scanned image attains the set magnification, and when dual-side scanning is set, the scanning magnification in the first direction at the second scanned image attains the set magnification.

It enables a user to confirm an already designated area without changing layers. Image data of plural layers is generated on a same image, and an image area being a target of editing is designated on the image data of each layer. Then, if the image area of one layer is designated, a CRT controller causes a CRT to display the image area of each layer designated before the image area of the one layer is designated, in a predetermined display method different from a display method for the designated image area of the one layer.

A foldable lighter having a safety mechanism for preventing inadvertent ignition. The foldable lighter comprises a body that has an operating member for igniting the lighter, and a swing-arm pivotally connected to the body by a swing-mount. The locking mechanism comprises an arcuate protrusion on an annular wall of the swing-mount, which interferes with operation of the operating member through a predetermined rotation of the swing-arm.

A foldable lighter that prevents inadvertent ignition by erroneously pressing on the operating button at time of folding the swing-arm to make the lighter compact. A foldable lighter 1 that comprises a lighter lighter body 2 that contains a fuel tank, a piezoelectric unit 102 and an operating button 8, and swing-arm 4 connected with free swinging to one end of lighter body 2 and that incorporates a locking mechanism that prevents accidental depression of the operating button 8. The locking mechanism consists of a projecting portions 74 formed in a predetermined range of the cylindrical walls 26a, 26c made integrally with a swing-arm 4 and a hook 8b that extends from the operating button along a portion of the cylindrical walls. The aforementioned predetermined range prescribed for the projecting portions is the range in which the hook 8b interferes with the projecting portions when the swing-arm 4 is turned relative to the lighter body 2 by an angle which is below a predetermined value so that if the operating button 8 is depressed when the swing-arm 4 is turned relative to the lighter body 2 by an angle which is below a predetermined value, the hook 8b will interfere with the projecting portion 74 and the depression of the button will be prevented.
