    Abstract: The invention achieves uniform image quality for every transfer regardless of a moisture content on a surface of a paper sheet when a plurality of transfer processes is to be made on a single paper. A copier (1A) is provided with a optical sensor (20) which includes at least one light source, illuminates a paper sheet (P) with light, receives the light reflected from the paper sheet (P), and measures the received light intensity. Before each of a plurality of transfer processes, the copier (1A) calculates a moisture content on a surface of the paper sheet (P) from the light intensity measured by the optical sensor (20), and sets a transfer condition of a transfer device (15) based on the calculated moisture content on the surface of the paper sheet (P).

    Abstract: A sealing material 1 includes a cylindrical sliding layer 2, an elastic integument layer 3, and a fastening fiber 4. The cylindrical sliding layer 2 includes an insertion hole 21 to permit slidable insertion of a bar-shaped body, and is composed of a material in which a fiber and an elastic material are integrated with each other. The elastic integument layer 3 is laminated on an outer peripheral surface 22 of the sliding layer 2. The fastening fiber 4 is continuously wound in a state of being uncontacted with the outer peripheral surface 22 of the sliding layer 2 over at least one convolution along a circumferential direction on the inside of the elastic integument layer 3 or an outer peripheral surface of the elastic integument layer 3. A sealing mechanism uses the sealing material 1.

    Abstract: An electric apparatus according to an embodiment includes a plurality of connection devices connectable to a plurality of external power supplies; a battery; a charge circuit to charge the battery using electric power supplied from the external power supplies; a plurality of switch sections each connected between the connection devices and the charge circuit; a storage section to store therein a priority degree for supplying power to the battery for each power supply type of the external power supplies; and a controller to control power supply from the external power supplies to the charge circuit. The controller detects power supply types of the external power supplies connected to the connection devices, and compares priority degrees corresponding to the power supply types detected and switches off the switch sections of the connection devices that are connected to the external power supplies except an external power supply having a highest priority degree.
