  • Patent number: 11981531
    Abstract: A sheet feeding device feeds a sheet in a feed direction. The sheet feeding device includes a loading portion, a feeler, and a first detection sensor. The sheet is to be placed on the loading portion. The feeler rotates from a reference position to a pushed position around a support shaft in response to a push by a downstream end of the sheet, which is placed on the loading portion, in the feeding direction. The first detection sensor detects a rotation of the feeler from one of the reference position and the pushed position to the other of the reference position and the pushed position. The loading portion includes a second detection sensor to detect a state in which the sheet is placed on the loading portion.

    Abstract: [Problem] To provide technology for setting an audio playback environment compatible with adding speakers. [Solution] An audio device 1 corrects, for each connected speaker 2, an audio playback signal output from speakers 2-1 to 2-3, in accordance with filter information registered in association with that speaker 2. When a new speaker 2 is connected, identification information is acquired from that speaker 2, the identification information is used to query a management server 4, and acoustic properties of that speaker 2 are acquired from the management server 4. The acquired acoustic properties are then compared to target prescribed acoustic properties, filter information is generated for causing the audio playback signal output from the speaker 2 to approach the prescribed acoustic properties, and the generated filter information is registered in association with the speaker 2.
