    Abstract: A page-turning apparatus includes a page-lifting reduction device for reducing lifting of each of pages P of a book B at an original position. The page-lifting reduction device includes a page fixing unit to push the pages P at the original position, and an adjusting unit to adjust the position of the page fixing unit in a thickness direction of the book B depending on a thickness of the book B. The page fixing unit includes a page handling portion to handle the pages P in an overlapped state while the pages P are being pushed at the original position. The page-lifting reduction device prevents the pages from being turned in an overlapped state at once.

  • Patent number: 9560270
    Abstract: In the present invention, in interval photographing, a CPU performs still image photographing based on a capture interval and a capture length set for each scene in advance. Then, for each captured still image, the CPU calculates a difference between images, writes a judgment flag indicating whether the difference is exceeding a capture threshold in EXIF information, and stores all captured images. When the interval photographing is ended, the CPU reads out the captured images, performs time-lapse moving image generation processing by using images having a positive judgment flag in the EXIF information, and stores the result.

  • Patent number: 9557706
    Abstract: A waste toner collection container includes a housing main body, a detection chamber with an opening and a waste toner introduction inhibition member. The housing main body collects waste toner therein. The detection chamber engages with the housing main body and enables a sensor to determine whether the waste toner reaches a predetermined amount, by interrupting a light path of the sensor. The opening opens toward the housing main body. The waste toner introduction inhibition member seals the opening to inhibit the waste toner in the housing main body from being introduced into the detection chamber before the waste toner in the housing main body reaches the predetermined amount, and is fractured by a pressing force of the waste toner to permit the waste toner to be introduced into the detection chamber as the waste toner in the housing main body reaches the predetermined amount.
