  • Patent number: 11256212
    Abstract: A paper feeding device of an embodiment includes a paper feed cassette, an alignment component, a fan, and a fan guiding duct component. A paper bundle in which a plurality of sheets of paper are stacked can be placed on the paper feed cassette. The alignment component can align the paper bundle placed on the paper feed cassette. The fan is connected to the alignment component. The fan can generate airflow. The fan guiding duct component is connected to the alignment component. The fan guiding duct component is positioned above the paper bundle placed on the paper feed cassette. The fan guiding duct component generates a negative pressure between the fan guiding duct component and an uppermost sheet of paper in the paper bundle due to the airflow from the fan.

  • Publication number: 20170136952
    Abstract: The electronic compass device for a vehicle is installed in an attachment position of a rearview mirror inside a vehicle interior, and is connected to a coupling body disposed on a windshield of a vehicle in parallel with a centerline of the vehicle. Then, the electronic compass device for a vehicle displays a compass calibration screen in accordance with a signal received from the portable electronic compass calibration device. The portable electronic compass calibration device creates calibration information by using the acquired image of the compass calibration screen and the coupling body, and the bearing of the electronic compass at the time of acquiring the image so as to transmit the created calibration information to the electronic compass device for a vehicle. The electronic compass device for a vehicle calibrates the bearing in the traveling direction of the vehicle based on the received calibration information.
