Abstract: An electronic apparatus includes a secondary battery, a first power feeder, a second power feeder, and a processor. The first power feeder feeds power to the secondary battery. The second power feeder feeds power to the secondary battery at a current larger than a current fed by the first power feeder. The processor detects a voltage of the secondary battery, and determines a remaining power of the secondary battery based on a comparison of the detected voltage with first or second reference values. The first reference value is a predetermined value set in accordance with the current fed by the first power feeder. The second reference value is a predetermined value set in accordance with the current fed by the second power feeder, and is higher than the first reference value.

The press force control apparatus includes a paper press for pressing a top surface of the sheets of paper, after the sheets of paper have been placed in a stacked position, wherein the paper press is translatable up and down with respect to a stack height of the sheets of paper.

Abstract: In a stacker for successively stacking cut papers on a bottom plate, a winding shaft for winding a non-cut continuous paper therearound is provided on a back side plate so as to project substantially perpendicularly to the paper restriction surface of the back side plate. This structure of the stacker makes it possible to stack the cut papers successively on the bottom plate and also makes it possible to easily wind the continuous paper around the winding shaft. In the stacker for successively stacking cut papers therein by inserting a cut paper beneath the previous stacked papers comprising a paper press for pressing the stacked papers from the top surface thereof and a press force switching mechanism for contacting the paper press and applying press force to the stacked cut papers until the stack height of the stacked papers reaches a prescribed value and for releasing the application of the press force when the stack height of the stacked papers exceeds the prescribed value.

Abstract: A stacker has a feed unit for feeding separate sheets in a direction, a stacking unit for stacking the separate sheets in a normal position, and a sheet classifying mechanism for shifting a sheet into a position different from the normal position, upstream of the stacking unit with respect to the direction. Sheets to be used to classify respective batches of sheets stacked by the stacking unit can selectively be shifted into the position different from the normal position by the sheet classifying mechanism. Since those shifted sheets can easily and clearly be recognized by the operator, the batches of stacked sheet can be sorted out with ease. The sheets remain sightly in appearance as no classifying ink mark is applied to those sheets used to classify the batches of stacked sheets.

Abstract: A vibration of a string is picked up by a pickup to be converted to an electric signal. A pitch extracting circuit obtains pitch data expressing a pitch or a duration of the string vibration from the electric signal. A musical tone generating circuit generates a musical tone having a corresponding tone pitch in accordance with the pitch data. An envelope extracting circuit extracts an envelope from the eletric signal detected by the pickup and supplies a signal expressing the envelope to a multiplier. The extracted envelope signal is multiplied to the musical tone signal by a multiplier after a predetermined timing has been past. In other case, the extracted envelope signal is mixed with a synthe-envelope signal at a desired ratio, thereafter the mixed envelope signal is imparted to the musical tone signal by multiplying processing.
