Abstract: A member having a sliding contact surface that exerts a reduced frictional force when making sliding contact with a prescribed member and retains the lubricating oil more uniformly is provided. The sliding contact surface is a honed surface having flat plateau parts and groove parts. As calculated in regard to the sliding contact surface by using a mean line derived from a cross-sectional curve of the sliding contact surface in accordance with ISO 13565-1, a ten-point average roughness is 0.6-7.0 ?m, a load length ratio at a cut level of 20% is 60-98%, an effective load roughness is 0-1 ?m, and a mean value of intervals between the groove parts having a depth of 0.2 ?m or greater from the mean line is 79-280 ?m.

Abstract: Radio equipment includes a substrate on which a first antenna for near field communication is provided, a base portion on which the substrate is erected, and a cover portion configured to be attached to the base portion so as to cover the substrate. The cover portion includes an opposing portion configured to oppose the first antenna and a non-opposing portion disposed closer to the base portion than the opposing portion in a direction in which the substrate is erected. A distance from an outer surface of the cover portion to the substrate at the opposing portion is shorter than a distance from the outer surface of the cover portion to the substrate at the non-opposing portion.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a main body having an opening, an image forming unit, storage portions, each to store a sheet inside the main body, and a moving unit. The image forming unit forms an image on a sheet. The moving unit moves the sheet stored in each of the storage portions, and stop the sheet in an exposure state where a trailing edge of the sheet is inside the main body and a leading edge of the sheet is exposed outside the main body through the opening. The moving unit moves a first sheet stored in a first storage portion and a second sheet stored in a second storage portion, and stops the first sheet and the second sheet in the exposure state, wherein the leading edge of the first sheet and the leading edge of the second sheet are exposed outside the main body through the opening.

Abstract: The present invention provides a sheet storage device having a high sheet receiving performance and whose size is reduced. A point 272 of intersection of a first upper guide and a second upper guide is located upstream from a point 271 of intersection of a first lower guide and a second lower guide in a sheet conveyance direction. Thus, the size of the sheet storage device can be reduced while the sheet receiving performance remains unaffected.
