Abstract:
A sheet feeding device, which is configured to feed stacked sheets one by one in a sheet feed direction, is provided with a sheet tray configured to accommodate the stacked sheets, a feed-out roller protruded from the sheet tray and configured to feed the stacked sheets from the sheet tray, a feed-out nip member arranged above and opposite to the feed-out roller, the feed-out nip member being configured to contact an uppermost sheet of the stacked sheets and bias the sheets toward the feed-out roller, a separation unit located on a downstream side, in the sheet feed direction, of the feed-out roller, the separation unit separating a lowermost sheet from the stacked sheets fed by the feed-out roller, and a friction member configured to contact the uppermost sheet of the stacked sheets at a position different from a position where the feed-out nip member contacts the uppermost sheet.
Abstract:
In one aspect of a sheet conveying device, a sheet member is guided from a sheet feeding port through a reading position to a terminal end positioned above the sheet feeding port on a first path, guided from the terminal end through the reading position to the terminal end again on a second path, and guided from the terminal end through the reading position to a sheet discharging port on a third path. A transfer member rotates a conveying member and halts the rotation of the conveying member respectively according to first and second rotations of a driving source. A first detecting unit is provided downstream of the sheet feeding port on the first path. A control unit switches the driving source from the first rotation to the second rotation on the basis that the first detecting unit detects a trailing end of the sheet member.
Abstract:
It is an object of the invention to provide an inexpensive and high-quality fluid bearing which improves the workability in assembly or coupling of a shaft and a rotator. In order to achieve this object, a fluid bearing according to the invention includes a rotating shaft, a bearing member for rotatably supporting the rotating shaft, and first and second fluid film formation mechanisms arranged at positions near a central portion of the rotating shaft along its longitudinal direction. The first fluid film formation mechanism forms a fluid film between the rotating shaft and the bearing member while the rotating shaft rotates in a first direction. The second fluid film formation mechanism forms a fluid film between the rotating shaft and the bearing member while the rotating shaft rotates in a second direction opposite to the first direction.
Abstract:
An image reading apparatus includes: a base section; a reading unit; a movable body; a drive unit; and a cable. The movable body supports the reading unit and reciprocates between first and second end positions in a first direction. The drive unit is disposed on a first side where the first end position is located. The cable has one end portion fixed to a base wall of the base section and another end portion connected to the reading unit. The cable includes: a first elongated portion extending from the one end portion; a curved portion extending from the first elongated portion toward a second side where the second end position is located and then curving toward the first side; and a second elongated portion connected to the another end portion. The curved portion has a part overlapping with the drive unit in the first direction.

Abstract:
A method and system for analyzing a problem in a computing environment. Symptom rules that include associated problem information are generated in a symptom catalog. An input file including a stack trace provided in response to detecting the problem is received. Function names included in contiguous lines in the stack trace are identified. In response to a search for the function names in the symptom catalog, the function names found in the search are matched to keywords included in a symptom rule. The computing system retrieves problem information that corresponds to the matched keywords. A report is generated that includes the stack trace and a solution included in the retrieved problem information. The generated report uses a text attribute to emphasize the text of the function names included in the stack trace.

Abstract:
A sheet conveying device of an aspect of the invention includes: a conveying path that allows a sheet to be conveyed and includes a first guide face and a second guide face opposing and apart from each other at a predetermined interval; a sheet conveying unit disposed on the conveying path; and a first detecting unit and a second detecting unit arranged opposing each other across the conveying path. Each of the first and second detecting unit includes: an arm member rotatably supported to take a posture where the arm member projected from the guide face to the conveying path and a posture where the arm member is retracted from the conveying path by rotating toward the guide face; and a first sensor that outputs a signal depending on the posture of the arm member.
Abstract:
An image reading apparatus includes an imaging unit, a moving mechanism moving the imaging unit between a first position and a second position, a conveyance mechanism, a sun gear, and a planetary gear that rotates by being meshed with the sun gear and having a rotation center configured to revolve around the sun gear. The apparatus also includes a first output gear meshed with the planetary gear and transmits a driving force to the moving mechanism, a second output gear meshed with the planetary gear and transmits a driving force to the conveyance mechanism, a load generation part increasing a rotational resistance of the first output gear when the imaging unit is located at the first position, and a meshing part being meshed with teeth of the planetary gear when the planetary gear revolves around the sun gear.
