A facsimile apparatus includes a light emitting unit disposed downstream in the direction of feed of a document with respect to a normal plane perpendicular to the document surface on a reading line. Outgoing beams for reading travel rearward in a substantially horizontal direction. Incoming beams from the light emitting unit are reflected on the reading line on the document surface and are supplied as the outgoing beams for reading to a light sensing unit. Consequently, it is possible to reduce the height of the front portion of the facsimile apparatus so as to increase a degree of freedom in designing while enhancing reliability in reading the document.

A facsimile apparatus includes a main body frame, an operable cover plate for covering at least the front top of the main body frame, a separating roller for separating a document sheet attached to the main body frame and a document feeding mechanism for feeding a document sheet separated by the separating roller. All of the rollers in the document feeding mechanism are attached to the main body frame. Since all rollers of the document feeding mechanism are attached to the main body frame, it is not necessary that the cover plate have high rigidity. Consequently, the weight of the cover plate can be reduced, and the manufacturing cost of the cover plate can be reduced.

A facsimile machine has various detection devices. One of the detection device detects a sheet medium. The detection device includes a reflection type sensor directly mounted on a control board. An actuator is pivotally movably supported in a main frame of the facsimile machine. The actuator has a pivot shaft portion, a first arm and a second arm those extending from the pivot shaft portion. A free end of the first arm is abuttable on the sheet medium. If sheet medium is transferred to a predetermined portion, an edge of the sheet urges the free end to angularly rotate the actuator. A free end of the second arm is provided with a reflection member. The angular movement of the actuator causes the reflection member to be brought into confrontation with the reflection type sensor so as to detect passage of the sheet medium. A regulation member is integrally provided to the reflection member. The regulation member is brought into contact with the control board because of the gravity of the actuator, so that a given distance is provided between the reflection member and the reflection type sensor in the confronting state therebetween. The other sensor device may detects moving phase of a movable member. To this effect, the free end of the first arm is abuttable on the movable member.

A document reading apparatus is provided with a feed roller that feeds a document in its feeding direction while making contact therewith, a rotation driving power source that rotationally drives the feed roller, and a power transmitting mechanism enabled to transmit rotational driving power from the rotation driving power source to the feed roller. Two driving paths, each having a reduction ratio different from the other corresponding to two resolutions, are provided at at least one part of the power transmitting mechanism and a planetary gear for selecting one of the driving paths as a transmitting path of the aforesaid rotational driving power is provided at a branch point of the power transmitting mechanism. Which resolution to select is determined and selection of the driving path is controlled by a selector based on the result of the determination.

In an insect pest attraction lighting system which irradiates a field with attraction light for attracting insect pests to keep the insect pests away from a plant, an effect of protection against diurnal insect pests is improved. An insect pest attraction lighting system 1 includes: a setting unit 2 which sets, as an operating time zone, an arbitrary time zone during nighttime; an artificial sunlight source unit 3 which irradiates the entirety of an interior of a plastic greenhouse H1 with artificial sunlight which does not include wavelength components of 500 to 600 nm, in the operating time zone; and an attraction light source unit 4 which irradiates a portion of the interior of the plastic greenhouse H1 with attraction light in the operating time zone. The irradiation of the artificial sunlight during nighttime increases the activity of diurnal insect pests B1, and the attraction light attracts the activity-increased diurnal insect pests B1, whereby the activity-increased diurnal insect pests B1 can be kept away from plants P1. Thus, protection against the diurnal insect pests B1 can positively be provided. In addition, since the artificial sunlight does not include light in a wavelength range of 500 to 600 nm which is reflected by the plants P1, it is made difficult for the diurnal insect pests B1 to visually recognize the plants P1, and therefore, an effect of protection against insects is enhanced further.

An information processing apparatus may control display of a GUI image including indexes that allow a user to select the entirety or part of an image content piece. The information processing apparatus may include a controller configured to control display of a first GUI image including an index of each of at least one image content piece, and to control a display of a second GUI image including face thumbnail images, which serve as indexes that allow the user to select the entirety or part of an image content piece corresponding to an index selected from the first GUI image by the user, the face thumbnail images corresponding to faces detected from the entirety or part of the image content piece.

A lighting apparatus for controlling a plant disease is provided to reliably inhibit a spore formation and a hyphal growth of a filamentous fungi, reliably induce a disease resistance, prevent a leaf scorch, and promote a growth of a plant. A UV light source repeats a light irradiation which has an irradiation pattern of combining a light irradiation, in which UV-C and UV-B and a visible light are superimposed, with a visible light irradiation alone at least twice a day. The emission of UV-B and UV-C enables the reliable inhibition of the spore formation of the filamentous fungi, for example. Its intermittent emission prevents a plant from getting too used to ultraviolet rays, promotes a generation of an antibacterial substance, for example, and prevents a leaf scorch. The continuous emission of the visible light enables a promotion of a growth of the plant.

The present invention relates to a recoding apparatus and a recording method, a playback apparatus and a playback method, a recording/playback apparatus and a recording/playback method, and a program, whereby processing relating to a file can be readily performed. With a video camera wherein with regard to H.264/AVC for example, which is a coding method arranged to encode or decode data, a codec class arranged to classify the performance of a codec configured to encode or decode data, and a codec level serving as a group of said one or more codec classes whose upper compatibility is ensured, are based on stipulated specifications, data is encoded into, for example, coded data of a codec class #2, for example, within a codec level AVC_A by H.264/AVC. The coded data is recorded in a recording medium, for example, as a file “AVCA0001.MP4” whose file name represents the codec level AVC_A of the coded data. The present invention can be applied to, for example, a video camera from which a recording medium can be detachable.

The present invention provides a method of producing a composition which is useful for flavoring food or drinks. The method includes utilizing a heating reaction of methionine and a sugar, which results in methional being present in the composition at a higher concentration. The present invention also provides a food, etc. containing the composition produced by the method.Methionine and a sugar are mixed, and the mixture is heated under a two stage process having particular pH conditions for a particular time at a particular temperature. Moreover, during the mixing and heating of methionine and a sugar, one or more of sodium chloride, potassium chloride, calcium chloride and phosphate is/are added, and the mixture is heated under particular pH conditions for a particular time at a particular temperature.
