In a fee collection system a game machine as a charge collective apparatus is provided with a reader terminal for obtaining predetermined identification information from a card, and a reader control unit for outputting to a control board a signal equivalent to an output signal of a coin selector, wherein when a card ID is transmitted from the reader control unit, a management PC refers to charge setting data, determines the consumption amount of electronic money, and requests an account management server to process withdrawal of the consumption amount from an account of electronic money corresponding to the card ID. The management PC notifies the reader control unit the processing result transmitted from the account management server, and outputs to the control board a signal equivalent to the output signal of the coin selector when the withdrawal is successful.

A sheet conveying device includes a sheet skew corrector to correct a skew of a leading end of a sheet inclining from a sheet conveyance direction and a pair of registration rollers disposed upstream of the sheet skew corrector in the sheet conveyance direction. The pair of registration rollers freely contacts and separates from each other. The pair of registration rollers conveys the sheet downstream of the sheet skew corrector in the sheet conveyance direction when driven at a prescribed time. A pair of conveyance rollers is placed upstream of the pair of registration rollers in the sheet conveyance direction. The pair of conveyance rollers continuously sandwiches the sheet from when the sheet with the skew corrected is sandwiched by the pair of registration rollers to when a trailing end of the sheet passes between the pair of conveyance rollers.

A micro-oscillating element includes a frame, a movable functional portion, and a torsional joint for joining the frame and the functional portion. The micro-oscillating element also includes first and second comb-tooth electrodes for generation of the driving force for the oscillating motion of the movable functional portion about the torsional joint. The first comb-tooth electrode includes a plurality of first electrode teeth each having a first conductor, an insulator and a second conductor laminated in the direction of the oscillating motion, where the first conductor and the second conductor are electrically connected with each other. The second comb-tooth electrode includes a plurality of second electrode teeth caused not to face the second conductor but to face the first conductor of the first electrode teeth during non-operation. The second electrode teeth are longer than the first conductor in the direction of the oscillating motion.
