摘要:
A sheet feeding apparatus for feeding sheets supported by sheet stacking means capable of ascending and descending by sheet feeding means is provided. The sheet feeding apparatus includes sheet position detection means for detecting that an upper surface of a sheet stack supported by said sheet stacking means reaches a position whereat it can be fed by said sheet feeding means, blowing means for blowing air on an end portion of sheets stacked on said sheet stacking means, and control means for controlling said blowing means, wherein at least, either when it has been detected by said sheet position detection means that the sheets reach a position whereat they can be fed, or before a sheet feeding operation by said sheet feeding means is started, said control means performs a blowing operation by said blowing means during predetermined time.

It is one objective of the present invention to provide a sheet feeding apparatus that can steadily separate and feed individual sheets without causing an image detect, such as a transfer failure. The sheet feeding apparatus, for employing a sheet feeding portion to feed sheets stacked on elevatable sheet stacking means, includes an air blowing portion for blowing air against an end face of a sheet stack supported by the sheet stacking means, a sheet position detector for detecting that a top face of the sheet stack has reached a position whereat a sheet feeding operation by the sheet feeding portion is enabled, wherein, when the sheet position detector has detected that the top face of the sheet stack has reached the position for sheet feeding, or when the sheet feeding portion starts the sheet feeding operation, and when a sheet is not actually fed after a predetermined waiting time has elapsed, the air blowing portion starts an air blowing operation during a predetermined air blowing period.

A capsule for determining the blood content of living tissue in vivo in a patient to detect tumors. The capsule includes a light source and a light detector for directing light onto the tissue and for receiving interacted light therefrom. By analyzing the interacted light, a determination can be made of the blood content of that tissue. There are various ways of positioning the capsule so that it contacts the tissue in the desired orientation of the light source and light detector. There is also a system for determining the actual contact between the capsule and the tissue. A calibration system is also used that allows a self calibration that can be carried out easily and accurately just prior to the use of the capsule.

Apparatus and methods for detecting foreign material obstructing a blood content sensor window to facilitate higher data accuracy from such sensors, in accordance with one embodiment of the invention for detecting foreign matter with the blood content sensor when the blood content sensor is not contacted with living tissue, an illuminator for blood content detection and the blood content sensor share a common outer window. When the window is at a distance from tissue and in absence of foreign matter on the window, all or most of the emitted light will be dispersed and little or no light will be reflected back into the sensor. Conversely, when the window is at a distance from tissue and foreign matter is present on the window, a substantial portion of the emitted light will be reflected back into the sensor indicating the presence of the foreign matter.

A sheet is fed to a registration roller pair by a separation-feeding unit formed by a sheet feeding roller and a separation portion, and is caused to abut a nip portion of the registration roller pair at rest to form a loop in the sheet. Then, when the registration roller pair rotates at a predetermined timing to convey the sheet, a pressurization plate is raised again to bring the sheet into press contact with the sheet feeding roller to thereby impart a conveyance force to the sheet, making it possible to feed the sheet reliably to the registration roller pair.

Sheets fed out of a cassette supporting the sheets by a pickup roller are separated and fed by a sheet separation feeding unit having a feed roller and a separating roller which is rotatable in a direction opposite to a sheet feeding direction. A charge eliminating mechanism for eliminating charges of the separating roller is arranged on the upstream side in the sheet feeding direction in a separation nip portion between the feed roller and the separating roller.

An inexpensive fluorescent object is provided which may be used, for example, as a test object for color adjustment of a fluorescent endoscope system. The fluorescent object generates fluorescence while minimizing the generation of ‘noise’ at undesired wavelengths, and is made using a plastic that substantially does not deteriorate upon exposure to U.V. and visible radiation. A method of producing the fluorescent object is disclosed, namely, a plastic powder (such as PTFE) and an inorganic fluorescent powder (such as Mn-doped ZnS) are blended so as to form a mixture of these components, and the mixture is then molded by applying pressure to the mixture. An important feature of the invention is that heat is not added during any phase in the production of the fluorescent object, thereby preventing the inorganic fluorescent powder from being denatured when producing the fluorescent object.
