Abstract: User labor relating to determining on an alignment condition is reduced and a stable conveying operation is realized by aligning a sheet bundle also when a sheet bundle is added. A sheet bundle composed of multiple sheet materials is placed on a loading platform. An encoder pulse unit detects the amount of the sheet bundle placed on the loading platform based on the opening amount of a pressure plate. A control unit determines on an alignment condition according to the amount of the sheet bundle. Rotating members align the sheet bundle in accordance with the alignment condition. When it is determined that another sheet bundle has been added to the loading platform, the control unit updates the alignment condition according to the total amount of the other sheet bundle and the sheet bundle remaining on the loading platform.

Abstract: There is provided with a light amount adjusting device. The light adjusting device has a plurality of optical filter elements. The plurality of optical filter elements have different light transmittances. Reflected light colors from the plurality of optical filter elements are substantially equal.

Abstract: There is provided an identification apparatus. A storage unit stores an operation history as a history of an operation executed in at least one information processing apparatus. An acquisition unit acquires malware spread information including information indicating malware. An identification unit identifies, based on the operation history, an intrusion route of the malware indicated by the malware spread information acquired by the acquisition unit, generates at least one piece of malware spread information corresponding to at least one operation included in the intrusion route in the operation history, and identifies, in the operation history, for each of the at least one piece of malware spread information, at least one operation of spreading the malware by setting, as a direct or indirect start point, the malware indicated by the malware spread information.

Abstract: The invention aims to backtrack a virus infection route with more detail than in the conventional case. CPUs of client devices respectively monitor operations, and cause storage devices to store operation histories. The CPU determines, upon detecting a virus, the time and date at which the virus was first saved in the client device based on the operation history stored in the storage device, and determines a virus intrusion route based on the operation content that was executed at the determined time and date.

Abstract: There is provided with a light amount adjusting device. The light adjusting device has a plurality of optical filter elements. The plurality of optical filter elements have different light transmittances. Reflected light colors from the plurality of optical filter elements are substantially equal.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a housing provided with a conveyance path, a conveyance unit which conveys a sheet along the conveyance path, a discharge port from which the sheet conveyed along the conveyance path is discharged, a discharge tray on which the sheet discharged from the discharge port is stacked, and an attitude change unit which changes an attitude of the discharge tray. The discharge tray includes a first sheet receiving surface which is a portion facing the discharge port in a discharge direction of the sheet and on which a leading edge of the sheet lands, and a second sheet receiving surface which is formed at a predetermined inclination with respect to the first sheet receiving surface. The attitude change unit changes the attitude of the discharge tray so that the first sheet receiving surface of the discharge tray is inclined toward the discharge port.

Abstract: A sheet feeder comprises a sheet stacking unit which stacks sheets, a sheet pickup unit which picks up a sheet from one side of the stacked sheets on the sheet stacking unit, a sheet separating and feeding unit which separately feeds sheets one by one to a conveyance path, an orientation holding unit which holds a feed orientation of a sheet, and a biasing unit which biases the orientation holding unit from a retracted position to a projecting position. A projection amount of the orientation holding unit from an inclined surface increases as the number of stacked sheets decreases, and the projection amount from the inclined surface decreases as the number of stacked sheets increases.

Abstract: A blade driving device includes an opening forming member forming an opening portion, a pivotal member pivoting about the opening portion, blades configured to enter or exit from the opening portion upon receiving power transmitted from the pivotal member, a cover member arranged so that the pivotal member and the plurality of blades are located between the cover and the opening forming member, and engaging portions engaging the of blades with the opening forming member. The pivotal member comes into slidable contact with the engaging portions in a process of pivoting. A pivotal position of the pivotal member with respect to the opening forming member is defined by the engaging portions.

Abstract: A light amount adjustment device of this invention includes a light path forming member including an aperture which forms a light path, a plurality of light amount adjustment members which adjust the amount of light which passes through the aperture, and a plurality of movement units linearly advancing and retracting the light amount adjustment members with respect to the aperture.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus in which a process communicating with an external apparatus operates is provided. The information processing apparatus includes a first acquisition unit configured to acquire identification information for identifying the process; a second acquisition unit configured to acquire port information indicating a characteristic of a communication port used by the process to communicate with the external apparatus; and a control unit configured to control a storage unit to store the port information and the identification information in correspondence with each other, wherein the second acquisition unit is further configured to acquire the port information by filtering an input or output of driver software used by the process to use the communication port, monitoring communication between the process and an application programming interface used to access the communication port, or a port monitoring interface.

Abstract: When security software is activated, it is determined whether the mode is a safe mode or a normal mode. And the security software switches a monitor in accordance with the mode.

Abstract: The present invention provides a heat treatment jig. A metal wire as a heat treatment target is to be wound around the jig. The jig comprises a cylindrical tubular body whose outer wall surface has a helical groove formed along a circumferential direction to wind the metal wire. A depth of the groove is larger than a length at which the metal wire will isolate from the groove when the metal wire wound along the groove at room temperature is thermally expanded by being heated to a predetermined heat treatment temperature.
