A paper feed device and method for separating sheets of paper one by one from the bottom of a stack of paper loaded on a paper loading tray and for feeding the separated paper sheets consecutively. The feed device includes a rotatable hollow cylinder having a peripheral surface positioned below and close to the front end of the paper loading tray in the direction of paper sheet feed, and having an opening for drawing a paper sheet against the peripheral surface by vacuum suction. The vacuum suction is variable to set the suction pressure at the low level at the start of a paper sheet feed operation by the cylinder means, and if, after the predetermined time interval, the passage of the paper sheet is not detected, the vacuum suction pressure is increased to a higher level and maintained at the higher level to feed successive paper sheets. A paper sheet front end sensor, a conveyor, and a timer for setting a predetermined time interval after the start of a paper sheet operation, are also provided.

The invention provides an apparatus for feeding a paper in which there are provided a stacker for placing a stack of papers and threefold cylinder for separating the lowermost paper by vacuum suction from the stack of papers placed on the stacker and sequentially feeding the separated paper one by one. The threefold cylinder is disposed below the stacker in the vicinity of the leading edge of the stacker in relation to the feeding direction. And, the threefold cylinder includes a first cylinder rotatable and provided with a number of through holes on the circumferential surface; a second cylinder, installed inside the first cylinder, provided with a slit-shaped opening on the circumferential surface; a third cylinder, installed inside the second cylinder, provided with a slit-shaped opening on the circumferential surface thereof. The third cylinder is connected to vacuum suction.

The invention relates to a document handling apparatus for use in a copying machine which separates a document from the bottom of a stack of documents on a loading plate to an exposure location, feeds back the document onto the top of the stack after exposure. The document handling apparatus has a separator arm fixed to a rotatable shaft which is driven intermittently by a drive system. The separator arm contacts the top surface of the stack of documents to be fed to the exposure location with the weight of the arm, loads the documents having been returned from the exposure location on the separator arm, moves downwardly with the circulation of the documents until being released from the bottom of the stack of the documents. A partially toothed gear of the drive system is mounted on a rotatable shaft which is geared with the pinion gear to rotate the rotatable arm in its toothed circumferential portion and is free from the pinion gear out of the toothed circumferential portion. A sensor is provided to detect a position of the separator arm for generating a signal to stop a motor of the drive system.

RF signals in predetermined time regions are extracted respectively from a plurality of RF signals which are produced when an examinee is scanned by an ultrasonic wave, and respective IB values are calculated in the time regions. A variance value of the calculated IB values is calculated, and information based on the calculated variance value is output.

Disclosed is a celiac diagnostic apparatus in which the characteristics of a filter for filtering a wave reflected by a tissue inside an object are made steep, and an ultrasonic wave capable of making a high-accuracy diagnosis for the object is used. C1, C2, and C3 are constituted using variable capacitance diodes. Three LC filters, i.e., an LC filter constituted by L1 and C1, an LC filter constituted by L2 and C2, and an LC filter constituted by L3 and C3 are serially connected to constitute the filter, whose cutoff characteristics is still practical even when the cutoff frequency exceeds 20 MHz.

An automatic document conveying device comprising a paper-feeder for sequentially separating one document sheet from a stack of document sheets loaded on a document loading table and for sequentially transporting each document sheet to a standby position upstream of an image exposure section and for halting each document sheet at the standby position, the standby position being variably determined by the length of each document sheet. A conveyor conveys each document sheet from the standby position to an exposure position on the image exposure section on a glass surface of the document loading table, each document is discharged after it is scanned and exposed by the image exposure section. The image exposure section is controlled to scan and expose a first document sheet, and a second document sheet is halted at the standby position while the first document is being scanned and exposed. The first document sheet is discharged after it has been scanned and exposed, and the second document sheet is conveyed from the standby position to the image exposure position when discharge of the first document begins. A third document sheet is then conveyed to the standby position at least before the scanning and exposure of the second document at the image exposure position is completed. The paper-feeder, conveyor and discharge device are operated until the entire stack of documents loaded on the document loading table is scanned and exposed.
